Running alongside my X account where I can do polls. Doctor Who (especially books), SF, Fantasy, Films and Music.
Given this is based on Terrance's treatments (same as the Vampire Lords one) I have no issues with these two being done. Yes, Big Finish definitely took the piss with some of their "Lost" ones but given these two were at least partially written and well known, they're fine with me.
A data center was just shut down in Wisconsin after the town council refused to have private talks with the developer and told them everything would include public approval That’s how it’s done, folks

I've just seen the cover to the Complete Trumptonshire blu-ray, and now I need you all to see it too, so there can be an outbreak of delighted cooing and "aw" noises all across Bluesky. It's done my heart the power of good, it really has.
