I'm utterly obsessed with Bernice Summerfield.

I know you're all terribly shocked. Anyway, in my obsession I'm listening to all of her audios ad nauseam. Including The Dark Flame. As much as I love the team of Seven, Ace, and Benny, I recognize that this story pretty much sucks. But still, it's better than NO Seven, Ace, and Benny. And I could listen to Lisa Bowerman reading Twilight and still be enthralled. Anyway, the point of this post is the following exchange that takes place after the Doctor meets up with an old friend named Remnex.

Remnex: "How is Mel?"

Doctor: "Ah, Mel. Fine, I should think. Yes! She went off to explore the universe with an itinerant con-artist."

Remnex: "No change there, then."

Come on, people. I can't be the only one who thinks that's hilarious.

::sigh::

Why couldn't BF have done more audios with these three?

Oh, I must confess that I enjoyed "The Dark Flame," maybe only because of the interaction between the Doctor, Ace, and Benny. I suppose it stinks, but I had too much fun to care. I liked it more than "The Rapture," which managed to become my least favorite Seventh Doctor audio, due to bad music, vocal performances, and overall loudness (IMHO).

I've read that this and "The Shadow of the Scourge" didn't sell well, because audio listeners didn't want the New Adventures. I realize that the NAs were glorified fanfic, but some of them were really quite good, certainly better than many other media tie-in novels. (Sheesh. I defended them back in the day; I guess I still have to do that, but don't have the energy.)

Benny's solo audios do tempt me, hmm...

Yeah, that one did rather suck. And now that you say it, it's possible that's my least favorite as well. I think it might be the only one I've never re-listened to. Hmmm.

Then the rest of the audio listeners SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK. Because I would kill for more NA-era audios. Seriously. KILL. Mostly because I'm so into that threesome and I have such a hard time getting through ANY Who-novels. I find them utterly tedious. (I know, it makes me sad too.)

YES! Be tempted! Be tempted! They are SO amazing.
