Quick question- I never had contact with the series beforehand, but I am quite enjoying myself with volume 1. Do you think I might enjoy this one? It sounds at least interesting and I would be interested in an evil Rassilon... however, I bought vol.1 because it promised great characters like Brax, Ace and the Master and they are all missing from volume 2. I am not so much into the politics and intrigue side of things nor in Romana (although her becoming a rebel sounds promising). Does this release carry itself above that? Worth it to pick up as long as it is still pre-order price? As an overall set with a strong storyline running through it, I liked this better than Vol 1 which was more a collection of four stories imo even with the terrific cast.
Without spoilers, yes there is intrigue but it's not all focused on Gallifrey itself and only in hindsight did I realise how it all tied together... I'd buy it but then I already did so that's not much help, sorry!  |

My take on Time War 2 is now up at CultBox: Loved the new Rassilon and Cardinal Mantis! |

I got this one, too, but so far have not gotten around listening to it. I hope when I have some holidays in 2 weeks time that I finally can sit back, relax and enjoy the story unfold. |

Just finished this and I loved it so much. Even though it raised as many questions as it answered (maybe more). I really wonder where they'll be going next with this story line. Can't wait to find out.
Also, the music is fantastic.

Since I am on my holidays now- I am having this planned for listening to this week.
I just needed to get into the mood to listen to our heroes going over to the dark side.
Sounds as if I have something to look forward to.

Right, so I finally started on this.
Wow, this is great.
The opening monologue by Narvin already sent chills down my spine and the first episode was captivating. And I have not even been following the Gallifrey series!
This is great stuff, bleak and getting darker, intrigue, and Rassilon is wonderfully evil.
Not something I would listen to when I am in a bad mood, though.
But I think a great way during the current sunny heatwave to prepare for the new War Master series coming out tomorrow. I expect that it will be even darker and the Doctor will get his butt kicked.

Just listening the music suite at the moment. There was another BTS interview with the sound designer as well as regular cast interviews.
The series had intrigue to the max. I was surprised that we appear to just have this version of Rassilon for one series. When he was so happy that Olivia and Romana plotted against him I thought he was going to keep them both around, but that changed quickly.
I thought the cover for Time War 3 was out, but it is just a placeholder repeat of 1. We need to wait until February 2020 for more. Plenty of other Big Finish to listen to, but I still wouldn't have minded this returning sooner.

Just finished this. I really enjoyed this and would like to thank again everybody who recommended for me to get this. A great mix of action, intrigue, drama and pathos. And I think it is no coincidence that Lord Eternal Rassilon sounded suspiciously like a certain Mr. Goebbels. Rassilon was great! And Narvin and Romana, too- I really enjoyed having our heroes facing temptations and descending the ladder into darkness. This made for really great drama and I never was quite sure what to expect next. From what I made of the ending- I have the suspicion that we might have a meeting with the errant Doctor in the next set, it kind of is a nice set-up for that. And I am sure that the Doctor would not reject
{Spoiler}
a) helping Romana and Narvin finding his lost friends
b) give them both a stern talking to along the lines of "I told you so"
c) this would be a really nice bitter-sweet re-union
I do not think the will pass down the chance for that. Except if they keep this back for a final bombastic Time War conclusion event? Needless to say that I have now pre-ordered the next set. |
