Personally, I'd kind of love a Dr. Who episode whose resolution is more metaphorical than real, but perhaps not for a season finale.
It could also be a good grace note. I'm thinking specifically about the way that Buffy season 4 ended, with the Big Bad getting defeated in the second-to-last ep, and the dream sequence of a finale.
I've heard good things, of course, but I haven't even gotten to Classic Who yet and I'm really, really not an auditory person, so I can't say I'm super excited. I'm sure I'll get around to them eventually.
Big Finish audios take a while to get used to, but once you do they are great. They are perfect for commuting and road trips, at least for me. I have a long commute every day (36 miles one way) and so I could listen to basically one play every two days. Didn't take me long to get caught up with the whole run.
Most effective form of torture anyone could devise. *shudder* Less character development than character annihilation.
I think that they could make it work. The Doctor after all has a much better capacity for mental toughness and for waiting than an ordinary human. Still, a few centuries would probably push him to his limits.
I'd feel cheated if suddenly we find out it's _______ pulling the strings and I never knew about them before.
I kind of have a crackpot theory about this, that might end up going down that route, and I too am worried about it. Not sure if it's right though; I've spent the past few days convincing myself otherwise, so I'm back to the "no idea what will happen" stage. *sighs*
