I have lately been listening to the Big Finish Doctor Who audio drama during commute. So far, most of it is mediocre. I did really like the Fearmonger with the 7th Doctor. But I want to talk about the Apocalypse Element. Because holy crap, it's ambitious, epic, and far reaching in scope. They don't say so, but I see thiis story as being a very plausible opening shot to the Time War. It's basically the Daleks vs various time traveling powers in the universe. The Daleks are absolutely ruthless in their task to achieve their ambition. They are nigh unstoppable, and the success of their plan has a devastating effect that is truly as horrific as one imagined the Time War would have. I will say their plans are revealed to be rather convoluted in a silly way at the end, but I can personally overlook that due to how well interpreted the Daleks are. I have also got to praise Colin Baker because he is really in his element for this story. The Doctor's growing anger and despair is palpable as the story goes on, and the big rant he does at the end is impactful. His companion, on the other hand, is not very good for this story, she was rather obnoxious actually. She is not a bad companion, but I don't think the writing did her justice for this. Overall, I loved it. I don't know canon the Big Finish audio dramas are, but I think I will personally accept this as how the Time War started.
