Não há lugar melhor pra se ter uma Discussão de Relacionamento que no fim do universo.

Depois de alguns anos enrolando pra terminar essa saga, retomei faltando só essa última box e eu já estava com saudades desse Team Tardis, a dinâmica Liv, Helen e Doctor casa muito bem e os três se complementam em questão de personalidade e atitude. A história é simples, uma escapada (meio enrolada btw) mas que entrega um bom começo do fim dessa saga que eu realmente não sei para onde está indo.

Nota: Eu acho engraçado essa versão do Oitavo meio caótica que uma hora tá depressivo aceitando o status quo de seu fim iminente, outra hora está eletricamente animado ao planejar uma missão suicida que provavelmente colocaria a vida das suas companions em risco. Muito bom.

This is John Dorney at his best. It mixes the emotional punches of A Life In The Day and Absent Friends with a thrilling story.

Liv is right there with Charley as one of my favourite 8th Doctor companions. She calls out the Doctor when he deserves it, and I love it.

I found it easy to imagine everything that was happening in this audio, so props to the audio design for that. I usually get lost when there are loud sounds that muffle the voices of the actors, but here everything was crystal clear in my mind.

Plus the whole idea is so cool, original, and exciting. And the ending is just perfect, open ended, leaves you wondering with enough hope that the characters will make it.

Dorney is singlehandedly keeping my interest in Big Finish alive. I haven't enjoyed any story in this set (or Dark Eyes) that wasn't written by him, which is a shame, but these stories more than make up for it.

LIV: You’ll think of something. That’s what happens!

DOCTOR: What if I can’t?

HELEN: There’ll be a way out, there always is.

DOCTOR: No, there’s not. Well that’s true every time, except one - except with what gets you.

HELEN: But, I-

DOCTOR: You think we’re doing something special? Surviving whatever life’s thrown at you so far isn’t a skill! It’s called ‘still being alive’. Everyone you’ve ever met has done it, by definition.

HELEN: I suppose that’s true.

DOCTOR: Just because we’ve managed to muddle through everything so far doesn’t mean we always will. There’s always a way out, until there isn’t. One time, you don’t have an escape route. And for us, I think this might be that time.
