Always strikes me as odd on threads for "big" releases like this which have the "spoilers start form page XX" in brackets. There are always far more posts before the spoilers start than after, which means we collectively have far more to say about a release when we are speculating about it than we do after it has been released and the speculation is over.
Don't know if anyone else has noticed it, but it is an interesting phenomenon. Not sure exactly what it tells us.
Perhaps the old Spock line from Amok Time is at work "Having is not so pleasing a thing as wanting. It is not logical but it is often true"

I do wonder what Relative Time would have been like with Zara and Abby, but it worked so well with Jenny.
I just didnt realise how close we were to having Jago and Litefoot in Avenues of Possibility

I doubt it's even a glitch. It's probably the warehouse calling BF and saying we've sold out of X, any orders placed after so and so time have to be refunded. The site may not even be formatted to keep track of stock.

The site doesn't have any way of automatically knowing when something is out of stock, as indicated by the warehouse clearance sales.

I post this without reading the inbetween because I've become horribly behind BF ( busy busy). I'm on the 3rd ep, with 3, Jo, Kate, etc. Old-Jo tells the early-third Doctor of her own preordained sacrifice. I am about to listen past this. But a sentiment about that exchange...
The way it struck me ties into what I've said over in the other thread, in the other subforum, about unpopular theories, about Roland, the Doctor, and any such character (Aragorn?). 3's reaction is right in line with it. Here is what I heard under the words actually spoken: "another who would bleed for me....god(s) curse all reality, they all would bleed for me. And they would be right to do so and I know it."
It's not "no, do not. You would be wrong." It's "I don't want you to but you must and I know that is right that you must. But so too will I go on; it burns... "
aka (Now King) {Spoiler} Another who dies in my quest for the Tower - the most necessary of quests? Right but wrong? Right and wrong? Necessary, and perhaps that's all you really need at the end.

And was it just me, or did Three effectively save the day, both endorsing Treloar's superb performance AND happening in Jon Pertwee's centenary month? A nice tip of the hat to the Third Doctor. Yes of course he did! And quite right too - he is THE Doctor!
*runs and ducks from a hail of jelly babies, cricket balls, cat badges, umbrellas, floppy cravats...*
Being serious for a moment, I thought it was following the "tradition" that the earliest incarnation present is key in some way - normally this is the First and he make the key deduction about the Game of Rassilon in 'The Five Doctors', for example. Similarly his authoritative interventions in 'The Three Doctors'. This time round, Three is the earliest who's actively there at the climax so he gets the honour of making the final step which helps them all save the day, one more time.

Halfway through, so I have avoided the posts above for fear of spoliers. Apologies for any repetition
Lies in Ruins - Pretty much everything we expected/wanted from the River/Benny meeting. Interestingly, during the catty/bitchy bits, I found myself rooting for Benny - probably because I was a teenager in the 1990s devouring the NAs as they came out and to me River is just a blow-in from NuWho. Eight's characterisation was interesting, a bit of a curveball, he must be getting close to Night of the Doctor.
Split Infinitive - Loved this one, the usual high quality Dorney script. Can't work out the meaning of the title. I get "split" but not "infinitive". And Dorney gives us an in-universe explanation for the UNIT dating controversy! What more could a nerd like me want?
Sacrfice - Wow! A really touching tribute to Messrs Courtney and Pertwee, warmed the heart to hear it. Nicely sentimental. Not sure what the point of Alison Williams turning up was, maybe that will be revealed later on ... The only thing that jarred was Jo calling everyone darling like some aged thespian. Whilst Katy might be like that in real life (I don't know) it's not really how I see Jo turning out and it kind of jarred a bit. I haven't watched the SJA episode in years, but did she call everyone darling in it? It is also hard to square this story with the CC Find and Replace, as both purport to be Jo's emotional reunion with Three, but I am not a fan of Iris so I am quite happy to delete that CC from my headcanon. Maybe Collision Course will have a big reset button so none of this ever happened and that will resolve the contradiction
