I'm mostly excited but... Weeping Angels? Ugh. I have to agree. The one thing I like most about the Weeping Angels is that they are used sparsel compared to, say, the Daleks, the Master, the Time-Lords, the Cybermen, the Sontarans or, even, the Meddling Monk. I think we might be getting a little on overload, now, though. I mean, Angels in CDNM #1, followed by a Class cameo, then DC #4 and, potentially, an appearance in Series 10, with an ultimate invasion (or possibly Class Series 2).

Doom Coalition is the only 'non-New Series' range where New Series elements have explicitly featured, I know some people see Eight as a Classic Doctor, some as a New, some in the middle, but will NS elements be spilling into ther things like the Main Range, Companion Chronicles or early Adventures?

I wonder if it will occur to the Doctor that by killing an earlier version of the Monk, he can save Lucie, Alex, and Tamsin.

I'm sure that if the Doctor were faced with that moral dilemma he'd let the Monk live because the Doctor knows that killing the Monk for good, as in no regeneration, at the point would possibly screw up his own timeline as well. There is the option of making the Monk suffer though, as long as it isn't fatal.

While the Doctor will never fully get over Lucie's death he's had time to work through it. Dark Eyes 1 was about him finding hope and he has definitely found it by Dark Eyes 4.

Seeing the Monk again, particularly a version who hasn't caused the death of his friends yet, might cause some old feelings to resurface.

Too much in shock perhaps, and he knew Lucie longer than both of them combined so that was what cracked him. Poor Susan was mourning Alex and the Monk had become genuinely attached to Tamsin.

Either going to be a hot mess or a beautiful merging of all eras. Can't wait. Or it could be both. That sounds like the most Doctor Who option, actually.

There seems to be a significant number of Angels on Earth during the 20th century. UNIT is really doing a very poor job at keeping the aliens off Earth.....

I'm really excited, but also a little conflicted about this. Eighth Doctor, The Eleven, terrific companions, Modern Series elements are all great. Written by two of my favorite writers, John Dorney and Matt Fitton means the writing should be superb. The things that concern me....First, I'm not so happy about what might be the beginning of the Time War. Or that we are mighty close to the beginning of the Time War. With Olestra and Veklin, it seems that way. I know that we are getting an Eight Time War story next year, but I was hoping that we had a lot more Eight stories that will be happening way before then in his timeline. I'm one of those folks who's not so keen on setting a ton of stories during the War. I feel like it will diminish it in my imagination, as well as bring Eight to an even more morose and conflicted place than we've already seen him. I don't mind that every once in a while, but I really hope that it's not all we are going to get with Eight going forward. Also, I was devastated by To The Death. I have been aching for an Eight and Monk meeting that will address all that had happened and then allow Eight to move forward. And maybe this will be it, but with so much going on and the story having to move the DC plot along, I'm not expecting it. I hope that their first meeting since Lucie with be satisfying, but, we'll, I'm not sure it will be. Well, with all this being said, I am really looking forward to hearing this.
Eh, I think it'll be skirted around - I don't think we'll see the war actually kick off here, but things will come close. A reminder of things to come. The Time Lords and The Daleks seem to be in a Cold War, regardless, though. I think it's more part of the pitch to the revival audience coming in (with River departing for the foreseeable future) and a nice tease for the Time War box set to come. Eight's output for the near future seems to be more about the road to the Time War, then anything else.

The Eighth Doctor 2 companions 2 New Series elements 2 War Doctor characters a First Doctor villain 3 previous DC characters Bring it on I say!! Either going to be a hot mess or a beautiful merging of all eras. Can't wait.
Eh, it's the finale, it's time to bring out all the stops. I have every confidence it's going to turn out brilliant.

Hmmm....looks like John Dorney isn't just evil to his audience, either.
INT. BIG FINISH HQ.
(JOHN DORNEY has the pitch for Second Chances under his arm.)
JOHN DORNEY: Hey Jacks, I have this fun Second Doctor story I want to pitch to you.

It all sounds brilliant but I am most excited for that 1st story. Character pieces are always going to be what I love best. And yay the Monk

See I assumed that was the case until Rufus said something along the lines of "they told me this is where you were now" to the Third Doctor in The Blame Game, which to me implied a shared present. But that's also cause the RH Monk had only been seen with Docs 2-4 until now. So I have no idea.

River Song and the Angels, and maybe the Monk excites me, everything else (Time War, this Eighth Doctor, Liv Chenka, The Eleven, Gallifrey) no longer interest me, that starts to get bored and feel tired and repetitive. I miss the old days of Charley and Lucie when there was more variety and more arcs in their stories, I miss the innocent and romantic Eighth Doctor.
Seeing the cover and read the plot of The Side of the Angels, I suspect we'll had cameos of two characters very relatives to River Song.

Gotta admit, I'm pretty excited! Weeping Angels and the Eighth Doctor is an idea I can TOTALLY get behind and I'm really interested to see what Carolyn Pickles will bring to the role of Cardinal Ollistra. And Rufus Hound's Monk is always a delight. There is the possibility that this could be a bit overcrowded, I admit, but I'm not too concerned - I think this will be great! '
