BFA Torchwood: Everyone's Dead on Floor Three

2026-05-01T20:10:06Z

https://www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/torchwood-everyone-s-dead-on-floor-3-3214

This was a solid 5 stars out of 5. The content warnings are well earned for something that never leaves the office. It starts out so ordinary and petty and then drops the year on you hard. It's like opening a box to find it full of jeweled beetles eating through everything, including a layer of bones. Everyone is so vividly and specifically detailed, even the dead ones. And even when I was sure something awful was going to happen it had me gripped on exactly which awful when.

This is really really good work.

And the only regular Torchwood character in it is an audio exclusive, Norton Folgate again. Who is someone you can plausibly show doing nearly anything as long as it's twisty so he's very useful to have around. But the Torchwood range covers the whole Torchwood historical era and dips in to so many lives we don't have a canon framework for so they can do anything. I've seen people complain about that because they want to revisit the characters from the first two seasons on TV but I think it's one of the great strengths of the range.

Though I can see how it is difficult to market something on the strength that you never know what you're going to get.

If you want to listen an audio where you start off thinking the corpses are going to be the horror and then learn, this audio is absolutely recommended.

... if you want a nice adventure where something gets won and it all packs neatly in a blue box in the end you want one of the other ranges...

I know there are lots of advice lists for a go bag but fewer for a go another planet bag

2026-05-01T17:31:16Z

Having one of those days when I can't quite settle to anything.

So I read the internet,
and then listened to like 3/4 of Sword of Orion (8 and Charley Big Finish)
before getting distracted by the internet again.

I have the feeling there secretly is something I want to do but it is Hiding so instead I have just about managed to eat a food and drink a ribena.

Maybe I want to write?

I keep putting characters all in the same place but then it turns into I Packed My Bag And In It I Put, like my mediocre nightmares of endless packing where the fire alarms go off but I keep trying to put enough stuff in a bag instead of leaving. I keep having to wake up and take mental inventory of which things I could just go to a supermarket and buy instead so I should not need to pack them. But no, boring packing again. Only when it is characters you have to worry about if you're secretly going on a one way trip through an interdimensional castle... as you do... and then you have to pack for EVERYthing.

Adventure can start when I have calculated a year's supply of loo roll and how much salt I can fit in a shopping trolley if the supermarket has it or potentially if we hit all the supermarkets in walking distance.

This is not massively helpful.

I keep trying to remind myself Conjob manages with whatever he's got in his pockets ie usually a lighter and a pack of silk cut.

... TV Constantine 2014 gave him an entire house full of arcane artefacts, like JLDark gave him the House of Mystery or Secrets, and it bothers me. That's a whole different arcane archetype. That's the arcane equivalent of those old lady puppets in Labyrinth with the backpacks bigger than they are. And then the story doesn't allow any of it to ever make a difference anyway. He collects it all, he tries it in the middle of the story, he gets his arse kicked until he goes back to the comics original level of desperate measures. That's a very different story. They have accidentally made him subject to
futile packing
also.

The other way to think of it is to wonder what adventures I would be adequately equipped for if they were to arrive at my door right now
but that sort of thinking leads to wishlist full of survivalist stuff and military surplus gear with all the pockets.

Like I would still interrupt the adventuring to pack
but that would be the explanation for like
the first thirty years.

... the more I ponder this the less enthused I am...

Captain Jack Harkness manages with whatever is on him because what is on him is a wrist strap that works at the speed of the plot. Same with the Doctor and the sonic screwdriver that is straight up casting force wall these days. So that keeps the adventure moving but it moves ever further away from stuff you can guess or aspire to.

... says someone reading about magic...

I have tagged this plot bunnies but that is a lie. It is only a bunny like the ones they show greyhounds. Energizer bunny of out of reach same same.

I shall go... finish Sword of Orion I guess.

Hellblazer except it's mostly Swamp Thing

2026-04-30T18:26:25Z

I have been reading horror comics all day. I need to remember to stop and do something else more often or it all just gets grimy to think on. Very strong stuff in these stories, skillfully done.

A lot of this first omnibus is Swamp Thing, covering stories I'd seen summarised elsewhere, and now I have read it, it is all so much darker and nastier than the summaries had conveyed to me. ( Read more... )

As far as I can tell from skimming the contents page the Swamp Thing stuff is over now, so, onwards to Hellblazer, and Newcastle.

Hellblazer from the beginning

2026-04-29T12:42:46Z

I read three more issues of Hellblazer, including
Waiting for the Man (scarier and makes more sense on paper, the TV version made the girls older and lost the logic)
the one with the yuppie soul traders
and the one where the ghosts come back from 'nam to treat their home town the way they treated the 'enemy'

The more demony it is the less scary it is. ( Read more... )

One other funny thing said so far: John explicitly says "I'm not a masochist"
along with saying "all that messing about with rotten corpses and pain stuff is just to impress the marks".

... aside from directly contradicting Justice League Dark, that first bit is news to a *lot* of people.

Actually it is interesting that New 52 put on a lot of the old school set dressing that Hellblazer clearly and deliberately discarded. It's like they're making the iconic version, trenchcoat edition, not... John.

And in that particular instance it's difficult to see how that's meant to make him more mass market.

Still, good stuff to read so far.

Legends of Tomorrow: Beebo and Constantine

2026-04-28T15:57:28Z

I finished watching Crisis on Earth X, which has all 4 parts in this box set, probably because the rest of the season makes little sense without them. I hate hate hate what they did to Martin, that was unnecessary and part of a bad pattern.

Leo is great, and it was probably fun to be flirty like that.

Legends tonal range is as ever pretty broad. The episode they're most grieving Martin is the episode we meet Beebo and have to deal with Beebo Day miracles. And then they turn around and do a Constantine in an asylum episode with bonus near lobotomy, but try to end it funny? And it basically works.

I did like Sara asking "Are we really this damaged"
because it is John and the answer is more yes than Legends is yet prepared to imagine.

I still don't like the way mental health care in these stories is depicted as a threat or a joke. Actually helpful is never one of the options. And yet people do need the help.

It's really dark watching Nora choose like that.

Strong story though.

I shall watch more later but I don't want to whoosh through them all at once.

Torchwood: The Flawless Man

2026-04-27T21:49:10Z

Big Finish audios, which I am behind on because we're about to reach the end of the range and I don't want to run out forever.

But this is a solid horror story.

And another one where if Andy ends it knowing for sure if it was ever Torchwood business he's doing better than the audience I feel.

I saw a review somewhere that suggested there's no point doing another [scary thing in this audio] when the same range has done [scary thing in a completely different audio]
which is a bit like complaining there's more than one cyberman story
but also

this audio is actually about
messing about with your mates when you're a teenager
and something happens
that means the whole rest of your life is about that.

The horror is not just the monster, it's the people trying to cope with the the horror of their lives, in different ways.

which is like the core thesis of horror, obviously.

So it's more like ( Read more... )

I thought it was well done.

Andy is always interesting because he's only ever on the edge of understanding things, knowing things can go Torchwood wrong but entirely able to admit that's all he knows about much of it.

And there were other characters introduced where we don't already know if they survive through 2020, so that keeps the tension up.

Solid story well told.

Hellblazer

2026-04-27T16:47:22Z

I started reading the Hellblazer omnibus, Delano 1, so starting at the beginning.
(I used to have a very tatty Hellblazer 2 I acquired when it was wrapped in the cover for Hellblazer 1. Gave it to my brother to sell many years ago. Wouldn't bet on it being readable by now anyways.)

I can tell already this is going to be a different reading experience to Justice League Dark. I've read the equivalent of two issues and I am going to pause and ponder.

Also it isn't just comics as an artform I'm fed up of, the art and layout in these serrve the story in enriching ways I can spend time thinking about. None of that endless empty motion I got annoyed with, new horrors crammed in every panel. As they should be given the genre.

The story is Hunger & A Feast of Friends, and the TV show covered these in one episode. ( Read more... )

The compare contrast with the TV is interesting but the comics are already good.

Going to think on them more.

Today I listened to a Big Finish Sarah Jane Smith adventure (very early and not Sarah Jane Adventures related at all, not terrible but not very good yet)

and watched three episodes of Legends of Tomorrow.

I had forgotten how much I hate Crisis on Earth X.
I stopped it after the first few minutes and tried to persuade myself to skip it but I am not a skipping episodes person so I went back after food and had another go.
The compare contrast on all the wedding stuff with all the Nazi AU stuff must have seemed like a good idea at the time but I do not see how.

There are good fun moments in the wedding stuff, like Alex and Sara, or Mick sort of in general.
There is the usual overstuffed irrelevance feeling of a crossover.
And then there's the garbage tier idea.

So. Not liking that.

And I've only watched the first episode of the Legends bit of the crossover, so I know there is worse to go.

Ugh.

I like the episodes that aren't the garbage crossover.

But I have moved on a bit in which characters I can stay focused on so a lot of me is waiting for Constantine to show up. And I like the others, I like Mick a lot, but I'm just a bit overly focused at the moment.

... I have three more comics omnibus editions to read and I want to reread Justice League Dark just the good bits version and I want to rewatch Constantine 2014 and mostly I want the version in my head to have any canon at all, but obviously I'd have to actually type that one, and I know that version is basically a new trenchcoat, just not quite new enough to even pretend the serial numbers never belonged.

Ah well, might turn into writing eventually.

In other news I tried a new food today but it tasted like tomato cardboard so I don't think I'll bother again. Vegetable lasagne but to get a vegan version it also has no gluten. The vegetables it used were not ideal.

Exciting life I lead.

Is pretty okay.

I realise no one reading this is into particularly messed up wizard polycules in the New 52 DC but

2026-04-24T22:04:25Z

The thing with Nick Necro is most of the issues have him be a bit boring about John stealing Zatanna
but then that one issue
has him torturing John by putting cigarettes out on his chest ( Read more... )

He is so messed up and that one issue changes the meaning on ALL of it.

Lovely stuff
that might make me buy more comics
if I just ignore how little I liked, oh, about 3/4 of the other stuff I read.

I want to keep this particular messed up dynamic and run into another canon with it.

Comics are immensely frustrating and this reboot was odd

2026-04-24T20:40:05Z

I have finished reading 1600 pages of Justice League Dark omnibus
and it is possible all the bits I really *like*
are in New 52 Constantine #12.

There's other bits that are good, but for a book that makes a big deal of John and Zatanna's grand tragic doomed love, they barely spend any time on page together, they're just motivated by losing each other a lot.

Nick Necro remains a shiny bit of twisted interesting in a magic soulmates story
that I want to take away from this New 52 nonsense and run away with to keep.

I read 1600 pages, at least 300 of them were annoying rubbish, quite a lot of the rest was fine until you expect it to pay anything off and instead it drops everything to do another story, and all of it is annoying because New 52.

I can only give it 3.5 stars as a whole, but, I am glad to have read all of it, even if the end result is knowing which characters I'd like to see story about.

... this omnibus gives me very little story about anyone, it's so full of Doing Things instead.
It's nice when the art gets an excuse to go all trippy and cosmic and remind you there's no FX budget limit here, but, it keeps on being frustrating storytelling to me.

Like I was liking it when the story built up to John covered in blood having taken the knowledge of all magic into his head declaring he would take over the world
but then the story zigged sideways and just plonked a new ending in out of nowhere
and I still want to see where actual John would go with that, or what Zatanna would have to say about any world he'd build.

And a perpetually frustrating bit is the suspicion it could make more sense if even more individual comics were all lined up for reading with this lot, but 1600 pages bringing together Justice League Dark, some select Constantine, and I don't know how many crossover Events comics, is already rather a lot.

... I am a bit tempted to go buy more Constantine though. I'm sure it would be frustrating too but there would be interesting bits.

I am still unconvinced this particular version of John Constantine should share the name though.

I'm taking Nick Necro and running back to the pool of Good Bits instead.

Now I am delighted

2026-04-24T16:31:13Z

Justice League Dark omnibus improved:
By page 1229ish we get an issue of Constantine where Nick and John kiss and Nick refers to John as 'Blood brother or lover' in the context of ( Read more... ) This after spending a while putting cigarettes out on John as part of a cunning plan to power up his magic.

I thought for the first thousand pages that fanfic was making way more of that up.

This is delightful and messy and I want to read all of it and then start again with a better idea of what to skip.

I am glad to be reading though
because Nick Necro is back
and it is deliciously fucked up shippy again.

I know this was from a while ago but it is not tempting me to try and pick up comics again

2026-04-23T15:49:07Z

I am above page 750 in the Justice League Dark omnibus I am reading
and very few of them in this quarter were worth my time.

I don't think it's just me being out of practice reading comics, it really is meaning mash.
They spend about two frames on any given strand of story and then try to make of it a tapestry.

There's no emotion here, just endless motion.
Hollowed out parts that could be characters if you took them to doll repair shops.

I don't even know if it would make more sense with a different selection of issues.
I don't think making sense is something it is particularly devoted to.

And the general feeling of intro outro being all it will ever do continues.
I know they were rewriting their world but it keeps reframing everything and then not giving us anything to put in the new picture.

There isn't a lot of John Constantine or Zatanna in this even if you pick relevant bits out
and I am starting to understand why the fanfic I read only seems to refer to like a half dozen issues
because those ones had a bit of story and some feeling attached.

I am a grumpy person today.

Also, trying to read this ridiculously heavy thing keeps squashing me to the point of feeling sick.

I do not however think that is the primary reason I'm getting bored and annoyed here.

It was however potentially funny earlier on in this reading, when John went somewhere he can neither lie nor shut up. They said the most shallow and obvious things that way, but it's a fun idea.

Also they used John's nightmares to make him obviously extremely informed and scheming, which is interesting.

And it gave him a little explainer box when he went to steal someone else's magic, which actually undermines the amount of writing they've put in to making him seem dodgy, but his motivation for the day was, magic nearly ate him so he doesn't want to leave other people to be messed around by it. Kind of works but every time they flatten him out they leave bits behind. Magic nearly ate him yet he keeps reaching for more magic, can't leave that out.

Zatanna demonstrated she was a hero who would save the innocent rather than attack the guilty, then became miss not appearing in this book.

So, bit boring.

Maybe it'll get over the stupid crossover stuff soon and have a story again?

ETA at 8pm: It did indeed get back to actual story. Turns out the bit I got entirely bored of was three hundred pages of 'Trinity War'. Now it's back to being actually Justice League Dark and Constantine issues it has a finite number of characters. Still mostly John though. Or this universe of John anyway. I kind of like the bit where he held an artefact that makes people evil and he was mostly just depressed since he's seen it all before. I like this bit with the Nightmare Nurse curing him. I pretty much dislike how what is named as a team book is so emphatic about him being the main character. And I keep on having to stop and be annoyed that the evil he's confronting is all this DCU multiverse stuff with the magic macguffins and big costumed whatsits instead of actual grounded at least a smidge political stuff. But then there was one issue where it kind of attempted to link it back to that? Domestic violence and homelessness actually got into the story, instead of just Darkseid and a house made of nightmares.

Basically there's bits that make the animated stories make a lot more sense, and bits where it is telling solid story, and bits that I want to harvest for useable parts.

But they're playing a very different game than the other media or versions of John and it's reminding me of all the reasons I don't read many comics.

Justice League Dark (which is not a good title)

2026-04-21T16:58:54Z

I bought a Justice League Dark omnibus because I found a lot of fanfic very interested in Nick Necro
and I have read up to page 435
which has included a lot of Nick Necro.

I was puzzled reading the bits on the internet at how Nick thinks Z and John betrayed him
but reading it all in a row I realised
despite John *saying* threesome
the book thinks Nick is straight.

Well that's a lot more boring as a story.

Like yes betraying a friend and mentor is a story, but, *waves at John Constantine's everything*
they absolutely were shagging.

I'm not convinced this comic is well acquainted with John's everything though.
I mean they're actively remaking it, but I am frequently not impressed with what they're attaching to the name here.

And Zatanna is pretty much reduced to Daddy Issues in a bustier.

Also I am not getting along with superhero comics pacing anymore again. Everything happens so much, on any given page, and yet by page 435 it sure doesn't take many paragraphs to sum it up. People come and go so often it's not always worth memorising the names, yet the book seems to exist to intro them and tell us how the world works in the then new configuration. Crossovers dance across the pages in a splash and then go away to books not covered here. There's no through line, it's too choppy. And the summaries provided by the characters already contradict what I actually read.

Which is occasionally interesting because you learn for sure you can't trust a word out of Nick Necro's mouth and he may well be fooling himself as well, but that is not the only impression it gives.

It's doing a lot with Constantine and Zatanna so I'm glad I'm reading it, but it's mostly making me want to mine it for parts, which is my usual comics reading experience.
( Read more... )

I think this comics team that wanders in and out of crossovers is a reading experience pretty much opposite to the focused one to a handful of characters stories I've been liking most lately.
Like these people are interesting, but only enough to make me want a story about them. Not thus far to feel like I've read one.

Comics require different reading muscles.

... as does this 1622 page book...

ETA several days later: I was either mistaken in my impression or the story realised what bits were interesting. Excellent improvement follows. Several hundred pages later.

Through Gates of Garnet and Gold

2026-04-20T20:18:20Z

I reread all the Wayward Children books leading up to this new one and then read this one.
... I think my main feeling is I recommend you not do that.
it's kind of like reading a lot of sonnets in a row, when everything goes a bit dedum dedum and the imagery has so much in common it goes from feeling like rhyme makes it stronger to feeling like it repeats itself.

I remember each individual story being strong and leading up to cathartic moments, but I whooshed througb them this time and they rhyme a lot.

I'm pretty sure this was a good strong story
but also that if I'd had a sleep after I read the previous one and enough sleep before I started reading this I would appreciate it more.

though I did try to sleep after I got back from my nice walk
and the fire alarm test happened
and someone played Lets Get Rocked as loud as the song wants but considerably louder than the neighbours do.

I think I like what the story did with each character, it progresses them by steps, but I was surprised that some of them still needed a next step.

I shall read this again later and give it more space to be itself.

On the plus side the music playing Real Loud outside right now is recogniseable to me
but on the minus side that means whoever is playing it is probably around my age

The front door to the building lets you dial a flat number to call a flat to be let in.
Simples.
Yet:
There are people who will get the 'you have dialled an incorrect number' message
and phone someone to say the door isn't working
rather than imagine
they are dialling
the wrong building.

There is an entire street, go try the other stairs, they have their numbers written on them, why is this conceptually difficult so often???

Today I spent all day sitting in the living room
waiting on a delivery
which turned out to arrive tidily in the predicted time slot
but once Waiting Mode is activated it does not go away easily.

I have many Books now :-D

But in preparation for one of the many books I started rereading Wayward Children from the beginning, so I will be a couple more days before I get to the new one...

the reading is why it has been a quiet week here
lots of rereading, no pressing need to re review, so I was quiet.

I still want to start doing an output sort of a thing, a story or something, but still pondering that.

... I keep getting stuck on practicalities, like, there is a Mysterious Castle and a team of people from half a dozen canons are now Shut In The Castle...
... how much Mysterious Loo Roll do they need and how can we get it in the Castle without the mist eating it...

and there is a time and a place for that but I feel it is just turning a plot bunny into a shopping list
which really gets in the way of the porn.

bunnies will return eventually.

... *sigh* ...

The thing with recent brain space being mostly taken up with John Constantine
is that I'm not getting plot bunnies about fighting demons, as per baseline metaphor,
I'm just getting detailed daydreams about getting him to maybe possibly talk to the NHS again, this time maybe with informed care and actual modern treatment options.

It's interesting in the 2014 TV show it comes up that a character who had cancer until someone did a Deal reassured the person they were trying to talk out of the Deal by saying treatment is way better now, but so much plot depends on treatment just not working. Any kind. If it actually helped it wouldn't be a horror show. there'd be other options.

and yet horrors persist even with adequate medical treatments, so there's a corner to pull the story around somehow.

John needs a hug so much, let alone actual help,
and, also,
John makes so many of his own problems.

these are of course not unrelated.

But get him to actually quit the bad stuff and get all polished up and have friends and a team
and you have Legends of Tomorrow, more or less,
and then they undid it all to put him back in the box the way they found him.

for him to be in character he needs all his sharp edges left on
but you want him to be happy instead.

hence daydreams, not plot bunnies.

I should go back to rewatching Legends of Tomorrow.

Big Finish Short Trips The Wednesday That Wasn't

2026-04-11T10:51:42Z

I really liked this one. Strong story, well told, good voices.

It took me a couple of tries to listen it though because Short Trips make me sleepy, as it is Storytime. So I put it on before going asleep but then woke up to the end credits. So asleep me decided to rewind it to the last bit I remembered and have another go, only with the same result. And again. And more. And I think I spent an hour and a half listening to this half hour ish story before I actually decided to stay asleep that time.

It was good when I woke up in the morning and relistened from the beginning though.

I liked that it started as Lost Property and became Lost Person and then resolves found again. It has layers and resonance for 13 and all the things she's been through and is learning about herself. And it has something to say to this agoraphobic listener, about maybe possibly seeing the sky a bit more often. I also liked the stuff it had to say about change and not being afraid of it. And it managed to fit three savings of worlds into one Short Trip. Very well done.

Today I did the April Paperwork, which is the maximum paperwork and requires someone to double check it all, so mum helped and got biscuits. Getting it finished is pleasing but having to do it is less than fun. Feeling pretty good and accomplished right now though.

Except this morning I had one of those dreams that's really simple but kind of trips you up all day when you think about it. Like oh, still sad.

I dreamed I met someone from television and they'd got old and expanded and had bonus bought hair on, but it was still so good to see them and they gave good hugs.
And I woke up and remembered they are never going to get that old.

still sad.

Annual paperwork and the years still turning.

Give good hugs while the gettings good.

and the person walking with me had not been to the pond before and made happy awww noises whenever they did a duck like thing :-)

and then I did not write about it at the time because I got home and realised it is the season when I need to wash every bit of me I do not cover well, and then wash it again, and still there will be Itchy Colors. :/

I finished rereading Ancillary Mercy this morning and when I went to check my catalog I gave some of the three books about half a star higher than I had before, except the one I rated 5 already. And I think I like them better this time because I read Translation State. Translaters aren't just quirky weird now, they're, well, really difficult to translate, and having the same problem reading everyone in the story. Knowing the new stuff it is just a Very Different experience, reading them again.

So that is cool.

Also today I tried to put my hands on a piece of paper I was sure I'd put right under the TV but I couldn't find it so I went through All The Paper. All.
Then I gave up and sat down
and found it immediately
right where I would see it from the chair.

Well done earlier me, I was not to know I would not be ~~lazy~~ sitting this once.

April is annoying the way all the numbers change, I have several number change things to do this week, but at least I have rediscovered the paperwork for it.

In the process of stirring the books so the ones I can see and reach are in fact the ones I want to reread
I made enough space there is an empty shelf
but below the edge of the bed, where I am unlikely to check.

So I Pondered, and now down there I have put
all remaining Anita Blake books
and a collection of books where I bought the first one by that author but am unlikely to buy their others.

there's nothing wrong with those books, I'd have sold them if I didn't want them, but I didn't feel inspired to go find what else they wrote.

Or in the case of that book about necromancers and cavaliers I did get them, but as ebooks, and I am not in the fandon even if I can see they're doing something fun.

So. I am probably going to forget what is down there. But what is down there is: assorted things where I didn't get book two on paper. A trilogy I don't really remember. And a series where I have only kept the first nine.

I also got the torch out to find out what the bottom shelf is on the other two cases, and one is the rest of the Neil Gaiman and David Gemmell books.
I may well not need to keep all the Gaiman, considering.

Also, I really need to dust.

I am rereading Ann Leckie Ancillary books now. Just finished the first one and was pondering if I shall start the second before Wait For Shopping Hour. Reckon I shall.
