After reading Lungbarrow, I went on a frustrating migraine hampered rabbit hole.

Braxiatel is the doctor's big brother and he has sisters, so why wasnt he in lungbarrow?

apparently brax isnt FROM the house of lungbarrow.

and I cannot find where its even slightly explained how he and the doctor are siblings (except that they arent talking about being "bros" theyre honest to goodness brothers)

can any gallifrey lore people lend their assistance??

also which prose has the doctor and the masters names (theta and koschei respectively)

Is it me or does “The War Between the Land and the Sea” feel very Virgin New Adventures coded?

Not on,y the increased swearing and fish sex but also just the tone, feels very much like those VNA’s which tried very hard to set Doctor Who in a reality which is not quite our own in which things happen differently, it to an extent reminds me of “the Dying Days” in which Earth and Reptiles go to war, and some of the other ones with the world building, possibly a bit of “Scales of Injustice” going on (despite that being a VMA) it’s focus on other characters reminds me a bit of “Who Killed Kennedy” and “Downtime” (the Novelisation) and I suppose some of these are fitting as Downtime and Scales where Kate’s first appearances, long before she shows up in “Power of Three”.

I’m not sure what I’m getting at but I feels very Virgin era who, but on screen, well the more Earth ones and less the Gallifrey ones but that’s a given.

I’m not sure how to express it but it just feels like them.

You know what I’m saying?

I've finished the first VNA, Timewyem: Genisys which was a pretty good start, I liked that Ace got more of hating the Doctor than we got in the show, so I'm all in for that.

Continuing my readthrough of the Doctor Who Virgin New Adventures I finished reading The Death of Art by Simon Bucher-Jones the other day. Set in Paris in the late 19th century, the TARDIS crew are trying to avert some catastrophe that is due to happen (which will destroy history, naturally) and The Doctor thinks psychic powers might have something to do with it.

Not going to bury the lede on this one, it was a bit of a confusing mess. By the end it resolved itself into a fairly clear story, but along the way I was constantly unsure what was going on. The experience of reading it was almost dreamlike in a sense; scenes would shift with little to no connection and characters come in and out of prominence with no fanfare. I don't think this was fully intentional however, and it made the book very slow to read.

The concept behind the aliens in this story was cool, however it didn't help with the confusion as there was a lot of jargon introduced very quickly. Again, later on this became more obvious when it was clear what they actually were, but the first few scenes appear so unconnected to the other scenes going on that it's hard to latch on to them. I think that a concept like this could only really be done in a book if executed like it was here - it would definitely be hard to do in a visual medium.

The Doctor and crew were fine here, Chris gets a fun plotline where he has to infiltrate the Parisian police, and ends up needing to pretend to be The Doctor. The Doctor has his fingers in many pies and gets to engage in a bit of scheming. Roz, meanwhile, seems to get the short end of the stick and doesn't get a ton to do. There is some insight on her past though which is interesting. The other supporting characters and villains aren't too interesting overall.

The book does bring back The Shadow Directory from Christmas on a Rational Planet, however they don't seem to do all that much here. The callback does make sense at least seeing as the book is set in Paris.

The next book in the series is Damaged Goods by Russel T Davies, and I'm already halfway through. It's a good one. Expect a review for that one soon.

listen i do not know much about Lungbarrow, but jesus christ is the idea of Otherstide as a Galiffrayen festival the Doctor celebrated, and probably had little to no feelings about, is fucking hilerios

its like celebrating Christmas, not caring much about it, only to discover you are the reincarnation of Jesus himself
