FIVEY FOR THE SAVE!

[ceebee_eebee]

Oh, thank f-ing god. ANOTHER BRILLIANT BF AUDIO! I just listened to the latest Fifth Doctor outing, Time Reef/A Perfect World, and I loved the hell out of it. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVED. Oh, Fivey. Oh, Nyssa. I AM FULL OF CAPSLOCKY JOY!!!



Ok, the main story was so damn good. This audio is the final part of the Thomas Brewster trilogy, and in Time Reef, the Doctor and Nyssa are forced to deal with the repercussions of what Brewster got up to when he was traveling around in the stolen TARDIS. This leads to some of the best pissed-off Fivey I've heard in QUITE some time and I swear, Peter Davison is just so good at that. The entire thing was so old skool. It really captured the feel of the Fifth-era tv series. More so than most audios. A real Enlightenment feel to the whole thing.

Also, I want to mention how much Sarah Sutton has improved. She was always ok, but damn. She has grown SO much with BF and I really noticed how wonderful her vocal range and her emotional expression were in this story. I don't want to give away any of the plot particulars, because they are too fun to ruin for you. But suffice it to say, I had a smile on my face the entire time. There were even a few belly laughs. A real treat.

The one-part story is when we actually say goodbye to Thomas and it was a lovely send-off.



And yes, there were MORE DAVISON/SUTTON extras! And yes, Peter was a snarky bitch and Sarah was crazy levels of awesome and I don't understand how those two are married to other people. They are SO IN LOVE. I know I'm not a huge RPS fan, but these interviews have made me ship Peter/Sarah, reality be damned.

I like the team of Five and Nyssa, but so far I've been underwhelmed by their audios. The writing has let them down, IMO. Of course, I haven't heard all of their stories yet but I've been through most of them and I wouldn't put any on my "favorites" list. Maybe this is the one, though? It sounds good, anyway. I hope I like it as much as you do!

Hmmmm. I'm sorry to say this probably won't be the audio that makes your top 10. I'm predisposed to loving anything Five/Nyssa, so I'm kind of easy. I mean it's good, but it's not a work of art. Definitely not anywhere near the quality of Spare Parts or Creatures of Beauty. But hell, listen to it anyway! You might just be looking for something different than me. ;-)

I liked Spare Parts but I hated Creatures of Beauty, so who knows where I'll fall on this one. I'll definitely give it a try. Actually, tomorrow I'm going to listen to "The Game" for the first time (I'm going through all of the BF material in random order) and maybe I'll love it.

Oh, yeah. CoB is definitely a divisive kinda audio. I'll be curious to hear what you think of The Game. It's not one I tend to re-listen to often, but I do like it.
