MR 021: Dust Breeding

Well this was a rather odd story. I'm not sure what to make of it to be honest.

There's an ancient powerful entity hidden in the Scream painting. The Master is trying to lure it out by using its ancient enemy it was created to fight as bait. Hijinks ensue. There's an artist who gives this planet of psychic dust to the entity and then theres a battle of psychic wills for it between the Doctor and Master.

I'm not sure if it's good or not? I guess it's pretty ok. But ok is a huge improvement over the last run of audios. I'll take ok over terrible accents, over exposed audio, and boring, messy, and procedural scripts.

It is definitely nice to see Geoffrey Beevers' first BF audio. He's fantastic as always. He's one of my favorite Masters for a reason. I find it interesting that the story gives a definitive end to the Ainley Master here. His Trakken body got burned up by the entity in the painting when he tried to unsuccessfully control it. I'm also not sure who Bev is, I have to assume that she's from a VNA.

I also like the opening where the Doctor has an art gallery in the TARDIS where he steals works that are destroyed according to history. That's pretty hilarious.

But yeah, overall pretty ok. Pretty B tier coded. Nothing super special. I'm super excited about the return of my favorite Doctor next. Colin save me from this run of bad audios.
