neadods 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.*

I don't know who Molly is, but I have every opportunity to tell Nick Briggs and Jason H-E that I would have bought Dark Eyes except for the knowledge that 100% of the original companions they give to Eight have terrible ends. Two out of three - the alternate universe companions and Lucie and all the originals associated with her - are bad.
