No caso só ouvi a segunda história “Feast Of Fear” – Esse áudio possui uma das melhores e mais bonitas capas da Big Finish, mas infelizmente seu conteúdo não corresponde com a mesma qualidade apresentada na arte, temos uma narrativa bem magra que segue uma única direção não apresentando curvas (mudanças) tão surpreendentes, não chega a ser algo monótono, apenas pouco notável. Porem minha relação com essa história é a mesma que tenho com arcos e episódios que são puramente fracos ou ruins, mas por algum motivo eu acabei gostando (um rápido exemplo “The Stones Of Blood” do 4° Doutor). É legal ver e ter que imaginar a Nyssa como uma espécie de “Mágica de Oz” totalmente fora de si, sim não me entenda errado o áudio tem seus pontos positivos, tem seus proveitos. Mas assim como sua escrita, o Doutor não é um elemento tão notável nessa história, o protagonista se encontra bem jogado para escanteio, a vilã é um pouco cringe e esquisita, fazendo suas vítimas gritaram e gemerem de forma exagerada (sério, não pegaria bem ouvir isso sem os fones KKKKK vai por mim). A forma como a vilã é derrotada é bem simples bem meeh, uma resolução preguiçosa sendo mais preciso, sei lá, tenho uma leve impressão que originalmente “Feast Of Fear” era uma história de 2 horas de duração, mas acabaram comprimindo espremendo tudo em 1 hora. Enfim, como disse...SIM, é uma história bem fraquinha tão pouco notável, isso eu reconheço que é. Mas eu gostei da temática, me diverti vendo a Nyssa como Mágica, sendo controlada e estando fora de si a ponto de ir contra seus próprios amigos.

This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order. Previous Story: Interstitial Better than the last one, but still not anything remarkable. The premise of this story is actually quite cool and handled fairly well. Hearing the mystery of why Nyssa is acting as she is and how the Doctor got into that situation in actually engaging... for the first 10 minutes. After that the story becomes really unremarkable. I'd honestly rate this higher if it wasn't for the sound design. I think Big Finish sound design is very rarely mediocre let alone outright awful like this story. There's so much groaning and screaming and all-round strange noises throughout. It's not pleasant to listen to and out of context sounds really strange. I genuinely had to consider putting on my earbuds to listen to this one so nobody else had to hear it. There's also a lesbian romance going on, which would be nice if the story was a little longer. This romance is really only mentioned towards the end of the story and not really hinted at prior and therefore feels really rushed and uninteresting. The ideas are all nice but none of the execution lives up to them. All in all, I like what this story is trying to do but it's not achieving that whatsoever. Marc feels sidelined already and this is only his second story. All the characters are either split up or not themselves so they barely interact properly. The only somewhat interesting character is Nyssa, after it turns out it's just a generic possession though I lost all interest.
