City of Spires.

[ceebee_eebee]

So, I finally got a chance to listen to City of Spires, the first in a brand-spanking new trilogy of Sixth Doctor/Jamie audios.



EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok. Now that I've gotten that out of the way. OH MY EFFING GOD was that fabulous. The love! The love is just...ugh. Jamie doesn't remember the Doctor, not at all, not one bit. Which means something is definitely up with the time-space continuum or whatever because even if we ignore the existence of Season 6B (which I do NOT because Jamie and Two traveled together until Jamie died of old age and that is my personal canon, la la la I can't hear you), Jamie should still remember the events of the Highlanders.

But regardless of the fact that Jamie doesn't remember the Doctor he still follows him into danger, risks his life for him at every turn, and hugs on him at the first opportunity. BECAUSE THEIR LOVE IS SO EPIC IT TRANSCENDS ALL ATTEMPTS TO FUCK WITH MEMORIES OR THE TIME LINES!!!

Seriously, people. This audio is made of such love I don't even know what to say. It's funny, it's exciting, it's brilliant and it's everything I could have asked for from a Six/Jamie audio. I can only hope the next 2 live up to this incredibly strong opening.

Ooh, shiny! I no idea there were more Jamie-treats. :) Good to know.

Yes. And he and Victoria had a Companion Chronicle recently. I've only heard the first half, but it's always a good thing.

Jamie didn't remember the Doctor at the end of Helicon Prime, which had always bugged me as I always saw it as a huge continuity error. Let's hope this will work as an explanation for that.

Seriously?! How do I not remember that??? Clearly I need to listen to it again. But maybe you're onto something here...

It was the very last line of that audio, when Jamie hears Mindy's voice vowing for revenge and mentioning "someone called the Doctor". That line has bugged me ever since I first listened to it, because if Jamie remembered The Highlanders he wouldn't have phrased it like that.

Huh. You're totally right. I'm embarrassed that I never really thought about that before.

But YOU need to go listen to City of Spires. ASAP. I want to know what you think.

Hopefully I'll be able to get my hands on it soon. Let's wait and see.

Listened to it and you're right - it's amazing! But then again, I was expecting it to be. (More coherent thoughts here.)

I finally got around to listening to this today. Very, very good audio - really enjoyed it.

And I thought Georgia M did a good job as Alice, too.

Yes! I got so caught up in the Doctor/Jamie stuff that I can't believe I didn't mention that. She was EXCELLENT. So much so that I went and looked up who it was almost immediately because I was impressed by her performance. Had no idea it was Georgia until then.

Heh, I recognised her voice and thought "Hang on, that's Georgia, isn't it?" and ran to Wiki to look. :D
