DW: Absolution

Hey Guys,

welcome to the 101st adventure of the Big Finish Main Range – Absolution. It takes place on the planet Utebbadon-Tarria with the eighth Doctor, C’rizz and Charley. This story brings the storyline around C’rizz to an end. It is not my favorite story but it focus on C’rizz and his developement. Which is a good thing.

The Hell breaks loose

Charley opens the Medallion of C’rizz and hell breaks loose. The TARDIS has problems and the Doctor doesn’t seems to get it back under control. It happens what had to happen. C’rizz get seperate from the other two.
Charley and the Doctor lands inside a barrier and C’rizz on the outside. So we have two sides. The one inside the barrier that have the barrier to protect themself from the outsider. Than we have the outsider who wants to get inside the barrier.

Dark

The atmosphere of the whole story is dark and cold. There is nothing fun or light in this story. It is just really dark. It is about death, religion, believes, fears… and of course manipulation. The story shows us that there is not always a happy end. That there is not always something you can do to make it better. The story ends and left you to deal with all that grief on your own. There is no light offered at the end of the tunnel.

With all that grief

It is great story. There are no excuses, no step backs, no rewriting history offered. We get just the dark reality of life.  I felt at the end like Charley. I get the Doctor. We all know how he deals grief. He just doesn’t. But after this I still felt like her. All that makes it a great story. I also love C’rizz developement in this story. I love him so much. The story itself is not mine but everything around and atmosphere is just great.
