I received the audio version last week and have been rereading while listening. 

Misc. What's his name as Doc is NO MATCH for TRP as Doc, since I heard TRP first....real narrator is OK, really, just once you've heard TRP.............

But as Bigfoot he is very fine, imho. Fine comic menace just as intended, sounds like to me.......

Anyway, when you read (Chap 2 again) or if you listen, notice this, this go-round: how 'preemptively fascist' is about every bit of Bigffoot's dialogue.
By 'preemptively fascist' I mean: 1) he is accusing, slamming, threatening Doc before a word is out, most of the time and 2) He speaks first, aggressively, relentlessly........
