Big FInish Grump

Okay Charlie is *literally* refrigerated, Every! Single! original character in the Lucie/8 line was killed by daleks (Lucie being crippled first), and now Hex has been permanently possessed by an elder god.

I don't see how - much less why - I could emotionally invest in a new original character knowing that they're going to inevitably come to a sticky end.

Usually I go to ChicagoTARDIS and load up on the BFs I don't already get on subscription. But frankly, at the moment I feel that I've gone completely off Big Finish's Doctor Who series. I certainly have no inclination to buy the new Eighth Doctor series... and I'm wrestling with the urge to tell Nick Briggs *why.*

This is depressing to read. I'm *so* behind on listening to the 8th Doctor ones and always not sure whether to want to keep going. I did just buy "Dark Eyes", so we'll see. And I have "Counter Measures" which reminds me of their "Sapphire & Steel" audios in odd ways. But I would definitely say *tell* them, especially why.

I'm sorry for spoiling you!

But yes - I am going to tell them why I'm not buying Dark Eyes. I just need to find a time and a way of keeping calm about it.

No no, I willingly spoiled myself, so no worries on *that* count. But yes, I understand. I was rereading my Big Finish related blog posts and remembering while I never had had the angst over companions leaving before, I reacted badly to just the idea of Charley going. So... yeah.
