selenakI'm not going to review Zagreus, for lack of time, but I will say it's probably telling about my priorities that the (Eighth) Doctor/Charley melodrama left me cold whereas the temporary Doctor/TARDIS break-up was most upsetting. They're the one true DW OTP, damn it. And even when they're both under the influence of these audio's plot device, an argument in which the TARDIS manifests herself looking like the Brigadier in order to have this type of dialogue with the Doctor is... well, I'll attempt to render it in short form:
TARDIS: So you had the choice of either letting yourgirlfriend companion die, who, by the way, is SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD, or kill yourself and me in order to repair the damage her existence caused to time, and you chose killing yourself and me. THAT HURT!
Doctor: You're jealous? (This, btw, is not a paraphrase, he actually says that.)
TARDIS: Did I mention how sick I am of the neverending parade of girls you bring home? I've been with you forever and always been faithful and you keep doing this to me, and then you condemm us both to a painful death for one of those stupid girls. That's it. I'm quitting! And taking a page from your evil ex-boyfriend's book by stringing you up naked in an imaginary dungeon and torturing you while I still have the "I'm a split personality now due to the plot device of the week and am venting my inner Hyde" excuse!
Doctor: ....Go ahead. I'll try to soothe your feelings by going utterly insane at the prospect of losing you entirely when the villain of the week melts you in front of my eyes after you tortured me. I wonder whether this is a behavorial pattern I'll keep up in future regenerations?
Thankfully, I listened to Medicinal Purposes next, which has its own set of problems but opens with the Doctor telling Evelyn why he loves his TARDIS best and more than all companions and always will. Zagreus is to me what Doomsday is to Rose/Doctor 'shippers, I tell you!
