Do you ever think about how he says "My real wife knows I'm not scared of the water" and that's like
Foreshadowing for Get In The Water and The Challenge
Because Penelope is like "oh golly gee that's a strange storm I wonder what caused it :0 ANYWAYS guess what chat I love my husband I have faith in him"
And meanwhile Poseidon and Odysseus are having their fight
And he's not afraid of Poseidon
And she knows that ?

The Thirteenth Doctor and Yaz getting an audio series is unexpected for me but not unwelcome. It'd be nice for those two to get a proper run as a duo. I was thinking of making predictions about the series, but then I realised I was just being a cynical sod and listing all the things Big Finish does that I don't like, so I won't do that (even though I'll probably be right about most of them).
I will say, though, that Big Finish is losing a lot of good will from me because of their pricing. They just spent years transitioning over to doing box sets for all their releases... and now they're starting to split up episodes produced as box sets to sell them separately - purely and shamelessly to sell them for 1.5 times the price.
This coming soon after Big Finish adjusted their download prices for inflation, means that their audios are now 3-4 times more expensive per hour than when I started buying them a decade ago. The Thirteen audios are just over $19 (Australian) each?? For 1 hour?? That, if I'm honest, I'll probably find almost entirely formulaic and just okay? I try my best to support Big Finish legally, but my god do they make it hard. I definitely won't be buying Thirteen and Yaz.

a criticism that i absolutely despise about thirteen is the "she's socially awkward, less confident, and more nervous about coming off as weird and this is out of character" take. because this ties into one of her defining character traits as an incarnation. yes all the doctors previous have been strange and offputting to some degree and have mainly not cared about coming off that way (save for ten, who mostly does want to come off as a friendly affable dude and asks if he's being rude sometimes but doesn't have moments where he's apologetic about his oddness in itself). but for thirteen her whole deal is that after twelve's dying wish was basically "ALWAYS BE NICE TO PEOPLE NO MATTER HOW MUCH ETERNAL RAGE AND SADNESS YOU KEEP IN YOUR SOUL" she tries to hide/repress any negative, less "presentable" sides of her from her close friends even when they can tell she's trying to hide it and are attempting to offer emotional support. she tries to be conscious of how she comes off after like, centuries of not really giving a fuck about this. and she clearly struggles with it and this is why she feels so fish-out-of-water in multiple different ways. it's not out of nowhere nor is it ooc (especially bc it was something you saw a little bit of with ten)
