Thanks for all the new links, I'll update the index whenever I'm next at my PC--it's too easy to make mistakes when using mobile, to my eternal chagrin. Last time I tried I wound up deleting everything by accident.... Iβve noticed that the link for Legend of the Cybermen actually leads to the discussion thread for Last of the Cybermen. Ooh, good catch. It's possible I failed to 'copy' the correct link, so I'll have to dig through to see if I can find a thread for Legend.

Okay, so I went through and updated everything last night and then... I don't know what happened. I got distracted. I closed the tab. I lost everything. So today I've gone through all the new threads and updated everything again, but something may have slipped through the cracks. I -think- I got everything.

Donβt worry we are here to help you help us πππ

I greatly appreciate it! Also, I went through and counted... and okay, maybe we won't fill out the MR threads before the MR ends -- we're missing 80! -- but I don't think it's impossible that it could happen before the end of the year! I've made some new threads, but I'm limiting myself to stories I remember well... which constrains me, somewhat, as I'm terrible at associating titles with stories. I was able to add four new threads, and could possible add a couple more, once I look up some titles later... but, it's gonna be kinda revealing, I think. I know a lot of y'all really adore Spare Parts, for example, but for the life of me I just don't remember much of that story--and it's not like I listened to it very long ago. Just didn't leave much of an impression on me, I suppose.

I like Spare Parts but itβs not a top listener for me either I enjoy Chimes but again not a Top Listener each of us are very varied but I think there is a fondness as there was No Tv Who at the time so people really enjoyed what BF gave them and boy looking at the MR count alone...they delivered in spades π

Yeah, definitely. I think maybe it also benefited for being relatively early in the MR run, so there was a lot less to compare it to (this is before Sandman, Jubilee, Live 34, and so many more) and it also featured a classic villain in a 'serious' story where they presented as a 'credible threat' -- which even today, looking at a much fuller body of work, is a bit of a rarity for the Cybermen.
Like for all of the issues with the season finale last year, the preceding two episodes, with the mad cyberman, I found to be immensely satisfying--simply for being the first time in the new series where the Cybermen felt like an actual threat.
Anyway, I think we're down to 75! 71! Some of these are in my backlog....
...And scrolling through the list I'm also seeing titles I've already listened to, but kinda want to listen to again, like all those early 8th Doctor stories....
EDIT: with these 4 new threads, I think I've basically exhausted all of the MR discussion threads I can create from memory. So... time to prioritize MRs in my queue, I guess.

So, I may possibly have just promised that I don't have a mountain of Benny threads to make... but I DO have a mountain of Short Trips to make. I wound up getting the first 4 volumes when they were on sale a few weeks ago, and perhaps some of y'all did, too? Well, that means threads to make and stories to discuss, right? So: let the flooding commence!
EDIT: should probably note that with the first 4 seasons covered, we'll very quickly have threads for almost 100% of the short trips!
EDIT2: we'd only be missing 5.01 to 5.07, 6.02 and 6.03.

Many thanks. Though, now, looking at the 8DAs (and also 8DAs) I don't really care for the lack of distinction between boxsets and individual stories. So I'm thinking... maybe I should try to do something differentiate the two? Here are some ideas: Idea #1- 8DA 01: The 8th Doctor Adventures Volume 1
- 01.5: Phobos
- 01.6: No More Lies
- 8DA 02: The 8th Doctor Adventures Volume 2
- 02.4: The Skull of Sobek
- 02.5: Grand Theft Cosmos
- Etc., etc.
Idea #2- 8DA 01: The 8th Doctor Adventures Volume 1
- 8DA 01.5: Phobos
- 8DA 01.6: No More Lies
- 8DA 02: The 8th Doctor Adventures Volume 2
- 8DA 02.4: The Skull of Sobek
- 8DA 02.5: Grand Theft Cosmos
- Etc., etc.
Idea #3- 8DA 01: The 8th Doctor Adventures Volume 1
- β8DA 01.5: Phobos
- β8DA 01.6: No More Lies
- 8DA 02: The 8th Doctor Adventures Volume 2
- β8DA 02.4: The Skull of Sobek
- β8DA 02.5: Grand Theft Cosmos
- Etc., etc.
Idea #4- 8DA 01: The 8th Doctor Adventures Volume 1
- 8DA 01.5: Phobos
- 8DA 01.6: No More Lies
- 8DA 02: The 8th Doctor Adventures Volume 2
- 8DA 02.4: The Skull of Sobek
- 8DA 02.5: Grand Theft Cosmos
- Etc., etc.
Which looks clearer, do ya' think? Or if anyone has any alternative suggestions...? RN I'm leaning towards #1 or #4....
