Ravagers is over and we can get to the rest of the 9DAs. Eccleston has HARD carried this set and it shows. Some neat timey wimeyness does not save an unnecessarily confusing boxset that really needn't have been the hook for a new range.

The Ninth Doctor #8 'Ravagers: Food Fight' (2021) from The Ninth Doctor Adventures: Series 1. I still don't really have any understanding of what the Ravagers are here? They're a star that eats fear by gaming? I literally have no idea. All of the plot of this three-part story certainly falls on deaf ears for me unfortunately, but I am intrigued by Nine and Nova's relationship. The most integral part of Food Fight is the final scene where The Doctor meets her again for the first time and has to retrace his footsteps and develop a new relationship with her. It's a cool set-up for a companion, just a shame that the story surrounding it is too convoluted and confusing for me to appreciate fully. I hope Respond to All Calls is an improvement, and more digestble than this beginning three-part story. hallieday View profile Like Liked 0 30 March 2025 · 31 words Review by ash.hnt to this day, i still don’t know how to feel about this first boxset. it’s such a mixed bag, messy and just not great. but, eccleston deserved an entirely spacey adventure ash.hnt View profile Like Liked 0 16 January 2025 · 351 words Review by KnuppMello Spoilers 1 This review contains spoilers! Original (Brazilian Portuguese) Translation (English) É chegado a conclusão de Ravagers, de fato é a melhorzinha de suas três partes mais pelo fato de que Food Fight consegue amarrar todos os fios que estavam soltos (mesmo ainda sendo um pouco esquisita), porém ainda senti que deixou um pouco a desejar - Sua parte 3 reuni tudo o que já foi inserindo anteriormente e tenta criar um enredo épico com todos os seus personagens presentes. Com o Doutor ausente, em um bloco específico vemos toda a responsabilidade sendo jogada para "Nova" resolver a problemática, depois disso o foco volta no Background da Audrey para revelar o mistério por trás dela, e por fim a história finaliza de forma repentina tudo acaba em um estalar de dedos - O áudio consegue maquiar bem seu enredo com sua trilha sonora épica e arrepiante, mas no final do dia, analisando ponto a ponto vemos que na prática tudo isso soa como pouco, dando uma sensação de um enorme vazio nesse meio tempo. Infelizmente "Nova" não se tornou uma personagem interessante pra mim, ela ainda é como qualquer uma personagem secundária genérica da BIG FINISH. Mesmo gostando dessa nova personalidade do 9° Doutor, pra MIM seu personagem perdeu um pouco de sua essência original, em Ravagers a nona encarnação está mais radiante e um pouco histérica ignorando totalmente aquele fator interessante de pós-Guerra do Tempo visto na Série de TV que moldava sua personalidade sombria que conflitava com suas mágoas se resultando em um cara cascudão. Ao meu ver isso é algo que pode SIM se considerar como estranho tendo em conta de que esses eventos são pré-Rose. Mas é algo que relevo muito, fiquei muito feliz em ouvir cada minuto do Chriszão em cena. Em resumo, fiquei com uma grande impressão de que toda essa Box é apenas composta por ideias bem promissoras que não são inteiramente desenvolvidas de forma satisfatória, muitas das coisas apresentadas, poucas delas parecem ser significativas para sua continuidade. Sinceramente não senti nada de grandioso ou de muito empolgante nessa box. Não me entenda errado, Ravagers está longe de ser algo ruim, é só algo beeeem OK mesmo 👍🏻 Click here to translate KnuppMello View profile Like Liked 1 8 January 2025 · 189 words Review by 15thDoctor Spoilers This review contains spoilers! Eccleston’s wonderful performance and the fizzing promise of further adventures with Big Finish is what makes this box set worthwhile. This story though will not be the pinnacle. The upside of this final episode is that the resolution at the core of the plot is rather clever. If you showed me the first episode of Ravegers, then the final 10 minutes of episode three id think Briggs was onto a winner… it’s just a shame that the journey between those two points is drab. As Grafty mentions upthread it is NUTS that given how much of the plot revolves around VR games - The Doctor never ends up in one. Wouldn’t that have been a perfect episode 2? Instead we end up on well worn “timey wimey” ground. With this first box set it would have been perfect to have three distinct stories for the 9th Doctor to flex his muscles across. Instead, we got one great 45 minute adventure needlessly stretched out over three instalments, leading to a soggy middle. This Big Finish intro has been handled better than the 4th Doctor’s but not as strong as the 10th or 8th’s. 15thDoctor View profile Like Liked 0 Show All Reviews (8) Open in new window Statistics AVG.
