So now the entirety of Timelord history is bootstrapped into existence. I get that in the original loop, the test flight worked fine and that the Sirens interfered, requiring this fix. But still, the result of the fix is that The Doctor(s) made the test flight. So it's sort of a not-quite-traditional bootstrap paradox; there really was a Beethoven, until there wasn't and someone else had to fill in.
I had originally hoped Tennant would have his own episode, but hey. That was still a nice surprise.

Have most people in the US who ordered physical copies received theirs? Mine has yet to materialize. I just checked my email and see it was dispatched July 17. I guess I will contact them about it since it is over 28 days. I sent them a note and a replacement was sent out of September 5. It arrived yesterday: #3820. I am in the midst of 8th Doctor Time War 3, so I'll probably start on Legacy next week.

Started the final story disc on the way to work today.
One disappointing thing about "The Avenues of Possibility" - maybe I missed it, but I didn't hear anything about returning any of the other missing people to their era other than the Fieldings. It would have taken one line of dialogue to say that they rounded all of the ones who were wandering in 2009 and DI Menzies took them back with her forces. From what was said it seemed all those in 1951 appear other than John Fielding appear to have been killed though. Since I haven't finished I haven't read the previous spoiler filled pages. So, please correct me.

I guess I will contact them about it since it is over 28 days. I didn't receive my Limited Edition for months, so I emailed them a couple weeks ago about it and they shipped me another copy. It came yesterday, however, it was the standard edition... I understand they ran out of the Limited Editions, so this was the next best thing they could do, but it just sucks that my Limited Edition is now lost in the mail or something else happened to it. :/ Did anyone else have issues getting theirs in the mail?

I hope they refunded you something for difference in physical copy. As mentioned above, I did get a replacement copy and there is no sign at all of the lost copy. I think there were a good number of lost copies since it seems they had a few hundred in reserve at the time that they stopped selling new copies of the Limited Edition.

Finished listening to the 6th story today. Overall, quite a lot of fun. I need to read the preceding 14 pages of comments and then I may comment more.

Nope :/ I understand Big Finish probably had nothing to do with it, and it was likely lost in the mail, but it still leaves me a little soured about the whole thing, especially with this special set. Funnily enough, I've never had this issue with anything in the past except for one other item: the Limited Edition set for The Light at the End. Although that one happened while they still had some left in stock, and were able to send me another copy.

From what was said it seemed all those in 1951 appear other than John Fielding appear to have been killed though. Since I haven't finished I haven't read the previous spoiler filled pages. So, please correct me. I've now read the thread from page 28. I didn't see anyone else mention the item above. I loved the whole set, but there are some nits like what I previously mentioned and what some others have mentioned. In Lies in Ruins I was disappointed that the 8th Doctor just left Ria lying around. He should have brought her back into his TARDIS. It would have been nice to have the script pdf for this release, but thanks to John Dorney for telling us what he remembered the Sirens were saying at the end. I listened to that a couple of times and just could not make anything out. From the Behind the Scenes I was surprised about the last minute pickups (John Culshaw as the Brigadier and Tennant/Bradley/Hines in Collision Course) which when listening didn't seem like that. When I was listening to the Doctors all arriving (actually played that track a couple of times) I was wondering about 10, 1, 2 leaving. Especially when later in the story, 3 had to leave his station to go back in the TARDIS. If only 10, 1, or 2 had stayed around ... But since their part came in much later that couldn't have happened. Just like fingersmash proposed, I'd love hearing a piece of Bernice being asked and then going around getting the Doctors. Regarding Thana in Relative Time, I guess we will hear more of her in the future, possibly in a story that has already been recorded. Thanks mark687 for verifying that I don't need to download it to hear anything extra. I prefer listening to the CDs, especially since I listen in the car, and my car's audio inserts a little gap between mp3 files that is not there between CD tracks. So, the CD experience is preferable when I can do it, which due to shipping costs is less and less these days. Anyway, a great anniversary celebration story and it was quite interesting reading what people here had to say about it when they heard it.

To those who never got theirs... I'm still sitting here with a sealed limited edition because I'm angry they released a standard edition.
