But I’m glad that my reviews have heightened your interest as it has been my intention to promote the audios to fans like myself (until fairly recently) who have never listened to them.

I had heard that the Dalek Empire series was the best of the lot and after listening to however many that I have so far, they remain high on my list of favorites. If you are ever in need of a list of select recommendations, let me know. I will say right now that you should not start with Sirens of Time, however.

I thought I’d comment on this one since I saw you today and you were talking about it.

The Daleks on TV always did have an odd vibe. Everyone acts like they are the most menacing things in the universe… and I could look past the obvious things you can say when you first see a Dalek… but that their plans are usually so… well… bad… and one Doctor not only defeats them but has essentially wiped out millions of them… several times… it’s hard to believe that elsewhere in the universe they are any more effectual.

They are kind of cool… so you want them to be menacing… and then they aren’t.

I actually cut myself off talking earlier today at the bookstore… but what I had intended to say is that your reviews of these audio adventures always make me wish I had the time to dive into some of them. Especially in cases like this where it sounds like perhaps someone is writing, and people are acting, in stories that make these Daleks the menacing characters we are always meant to see them to be.

One of these days… it’s just so daunting. I know how new Dr Who fans feel when you tell them the series started in 1963 and ran for about 25 years before coming back in 2005… whenever I look at the Big Finish site, I’m kind of pushed back in my chair when I see just how many audio adventures there are.
