Doom Coalition 3 is what I've wanted from the previous installments in the series. It's a strong set of four interconnected stories that tells an interesting, surprising, and entertaining story from start to finish. It goes a long way towards developing the character of Helen and really gives the Eighth Doctor an interesting challenge. The inclusion of Alex Kingston's River Song in such a prominent role is a welcome one and her interactions with Paul McGann's Doctor are every bit as great as you'd hope they'd be. Doom Coalition 3 has given me a lot of hope and excitement for the final box set of the series and reminded me just why I love these Big Finish Eighth Doctor box sets. The way they're able to create such great imagery without the use of actual visuals is stunning and sometimes it makes me wish this could have actually been a filmed series of the TV show because of how good it is. It's everything Big Finish can do when it's at the top of its game and I can't recommend it enough.
