I just listened to The Darkening Eye, which is the latest Companion Chronicle.



In short, a winner. I loved having another story with the Dar Traders because I think they are a truly disturbing and unique alien species that come across beautifully in the audios. Also, Sarah Sutton has gotten FANTASTIC. If you go back and listen to her earliest audios and then listen to this (or any of the later ones) I think it's clear just how brilliant she's become at voice acting. In this audio she had to play Tegan and Adric and the Doctor and they were all so clear. Not imitations, just...inflections. Tones of voice. Tegan came across especially well.

Oh, and, unsurprisingly, Adric is just as annoying and bitch-slap-able in this story as he was in the series. So, well done, writer-dude.

But the ending? I JUST DON'T GET IT. Someone else who's listened to it, please explain?

Things with Nyssa demand my listening. And, as per usual, I'll probably manage to find something about Adric to arouse my fondness or compassion. Tegan, however...well, there are compliments I've paid her in moments past, anyway. When are we getting back to Peter/Sarah audios

Hey, I'm not saying anyting nice about Tegan. Just that Sarah did an excellent job in getting her voice across. ;-) As for Adric, there was absolutely nothing redeeming about him in this storyline. At least in my opinion, but you may be a softer touch than me.

Once you listen to it, I want to know your take on the ending.
