boardgames, money
hmmm.... There's a kickstarter on for an 18xx boardgame at the moment, and I'm conflicted.
On one hand, I really like 18xx games.
On the other hand, I already have 4 of them, 3 of which haven't been played yet.
On the third hand, the game looks really interesting!
On the fourth hand, I maybe should be saving my money for other things?
I'm really not sure...
doctor who audio dramas - Water Worlds
I finished listening to "Doctor Who - The Sixth Doctor Adventures - Water Worlds" yesterday, and it was absolutely fantastic!
It introduces a new companion to join 6 and Mel on their travels - Hebe. She's a wheelchair using marine biologist, and she is so full of personality, I love her!!
The 3 stories in the boxset are also fantastic - adventurous, with just a little bit of horror and humour sprinkled on top.
Probably my favourite release of this year!
re: Sanctuary thoughts
Finally, there's season 4. Season 4 goes back to the 13 episodes structure, and there were clearly some production issues behind the scenes.
But! It feels kinda like a mixture of Season 2 and Season 3. Most of the heavy story-arc stuff happens in the first 3 episodes (which I won't spoil), and then the remaining 10 episodes are basically about the various consequences of the first 3 eps.
And the finale works really well as an ending for the entire series, it's lovely.
re: Sanctuary thoughts
Season 3 is divided into two halves of 10 episodes each (rather than just one bundle of 13 episodes), with each half getting its own season arc.
Season 3 goes super-hard into its arcs, and I think it works really well for 2 reasons:
1) it's focused on an investigation into a weird holographic map they found - which suits the show much better than season 1's comic-book-villains.
2) The arcs are spread across just 10 episodes each, so it feels more like an ongoing drama.
