Torchwood: Uncanny Valley

Hey Guys,

welcome to the 5th big finish Torchwood adventure ‘Uncanny Valley’, which is a typical season one adventure. This was the weakest story so far but that doesn’t mean that it is a bad story. The Story is playing after ‘The Conspiracy‘ but i am still not sure when it should play.

I know what you are thinking

Jack is like the last time telling the story directly to us. This time it is not explained like the last time with a phone call, what actually a little sad but it doesn’t really matter. The kind of narration is placing you in the story and it gets you. It is a really good story for Jack Harkness. I for myself have enough of all the sex in the tv shows and i don’t want to tell to much but we have some here. Big Finish is here again remembers us of one thing that got a little lost in the fourth season. Jack Harkness is not gay. He likes guys, women, alien, anything you can have sex with and that was always why i liked him. Because he doesn’t care about something like race or gender. Also his way of seeing beauty is not bound to our sight. It is good that this is not forgotten.

What makes you human?

The story is nothing new but Torchwood don’t has any rules or no goes. So this is a story about someone that get something like a robot. This is a copie of him, which should do his life in the world for him because after a accident that put him in wheelchiar. Of course in this story it goes how this robot becomes kinda like human. It is his job to become like his owner but when you see them interacted or acted. They are very different from each other. But this is not what the story is about. It is more about how life can change you and that everything can turn against you. Even the comitee is not on the focus here. The Robot has to do with comitee, but we never got real information about what their plan is or what they are. It is more a drawing of a relationship that grows and breaks in the end. It doesn’t ask big questions. It makes all this question seem like it is totally normal.

It was fun to listen to John Barrowman again. Can wait for the next episode and the second season!

Torchwood: The Conspiracy

Hey Guys,
today the first adventure of the big finish Torchwood story ‘The Conspiracy’ arrived and ineeded to write about it right now. Because nothing is more lovely than that. Oh yeah it is, because they had anounced that Ianto will be back. Everything is perfect. So lets actually talk about what the first adventure holds for us.

See again

First of all the first adventure is just with Captain Jack Harkness. We don’t have anyone else the team. But it plays when there still was a team. He talked to Gwen on one point. I am not sure when it plays. Torchwood seems to still exist and Gwen is part of it. So technically it had to play before Children of Earth. Which would mean Ianto is still alive. But other than that i don’t know. I am listening again right now to find a date.

Back to old times

It started like we all know Torchwood ever start. So you are from the line totally back into Torchwood mode. They way the adventure is built is a little special. I don’t like the way. Jack is talking to us. He is telling as happend and there are just scene played by them. We have Jack talking than a scene and than talking again. Than we also a youtube blog between the interview Jack is holding. It’s not a real flow. But that is just my liking. And to be honest it give alot worst than listening to Jaohn Barrowman.

The Commitee

I don’t want to talk to much about the story. Because you all should be buy it and hear it for yourself. But we have talk about it a little bit. So it goes about a guy named George Wilson. He talks about an alien invasion form the inner circle. There is theis group -the commitee – that will destroy human race and take the earth. There are not coming and attacking with spaceships. They are doing it buy getting their man into all positions like in the goverment and so on. So it will be a big story fight them. Which could really interessting and worthy opponent. There is not much happing in the first adventure. It is just like a long prologue for a bigger story and you just got the important information.

I can’t wait to hear the next adventure. The next adventure will be out in october.

Torchwood: Miracle Day

Hey Guys,

i will be honest with you right away. This season has a really bad starting point. Because everything that is Torchwood for me isn’t there. I miss the base, i miss their pets, i miss Cardiff and most of all i miss the team. For me was Ianto the most important part of Torchwood. He was the soul, the heart, he was Torchwood. Without it him it doesn’t feel right.

But the season is not so bad as i thought. You can totally look it. This is a really big think and we will see if they find a good ending. I like the Characters. Vera is an amazing character. My favorite character is totally Esther. She is really amazing. She is strong, she is intellegent, sees what is going on, and even when her world collapse around her she gets her shit done. I like her very much and i want to hurt Rex every time he is mean to her even when he is right.

Rex isn’t a character i really like…not a little bit. But it is a good character. So Rhys has much to little screen time. I love him and want to see him in action.

What i really don’t like is how they show Jacks Sexuality in this season. Jack is not gay, he is not bi, he is into everything. But this season he is just flirting with the guys. I don’t like it. Jack is flirting with everyone. He was actually flirting with everyone when he was together with Ianto. He flirts with everyone and that should not be changed. That is Jack. That is totally a negative point.

Also they are to much explosions and so… i don’t need this big effects…

But i like how broken Jack seems to be and this is really good. Because he is broken not just because of Ianto, but because of Steven… that is really important.

This are my first impressions of the serie. I will talk about a few things that totally are spoilers. So if you don’t want spoilers stop reading here 😉

First of all the story is really a big thing. It is good but also you can’t become bigger after that. Because really they are building concentration camps in the whole world and nobody is doing same thing. Everyone, who knows me a little knows that i don’t like Gwen. Most of the time i want to stangle her. But in the Children of earth she has this monologe about what happend and the doctor. That was really amazing. Here is a scene that totally remembered me of that. She is talking to one doctor at that camp and what she said is so true. It is. The sad thing is that i totally see that happen. If something like that would happen in the real world. Everyone would exactally do the same. This can happen again so fast and who will stand up?

Because if you stand up you can end like Vera. Vera… i loved Vera she was a great character. She was strong and so human. She wanted to help people and she was one of the persons that was not afraid to tell everyone her opinion. Everything she did was amazing. That whats make her death so tragic. She was nice and sympatic not just for the viewer, Torchwood liked her. She was intellegent and just did what she things is rigth. She stands up for what she believed in. But because she was such a good person, she is dead. She said what she thought and that is why she is dead. This is really sad but also a really good move. You like Vera and her death has a great impact on the viewer and on the team. Everyone can die…

The background story with Jack and that guy was interessting and sweet but not really so nessessary for the story and for me it just give us more questions than anything else – that not get to answer. This whole three family thing cames a little short and there is so much in the dark. What did them do all the times, why did they do it and what was it what they are wanted? Just power? Wasn’t there a easier way to do it than that?

Everything about the last episode a really good. It is very emotional and sad. We see the world colapesing. We see how fast people adjust to the new world order. We see Rhys, who is trying to find a new job and what did he get? Drive the undead to the ovens. This is really amazing. What i don’t like is how agressiv Rhys became toward Danes. Thats not the Rhys i know…

I hate when people say that the death of that character was unnessassary, but really Esthers death was so unnessassary. Esthers is having from all the characters the most character developement and she was amazing. I love her. She is so sweet and than she dies and i am totally not okay with that. Why she and why not Rex. Yeah i knw because of Jacks blood… but Rex lives and Esther dies. No! Why are they always killing the persons i love?

I think that the didn’t need the church scene. It is one of the last scenes. They are at Esthers  funeral and the treator is also there and until that point that scene is okay. But than Rex finds out that she is the traitor and calls her and she is shooting at him and he dies and she get shot. Yeah and than we see Rex coming back to life. So unnessassary. I don’t like Rex also beeing immortal but it was clear so they didn’t need to show it again.
