DW: 1963: The Assassination Games

Hey Guys,

welcome to the third part ‘The Assassination Games’ of the 1963 adventure that are celebration of the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who in the main range. The story is playing in 1963 in London. The seventh Doctor and Ace are going undercover. Also ‘The Assassination Games’ features the group Counter-Measures. The first appearance of the group was in the episode ‘Remembrance of the Daleks’ from the 25th season of the Doctor Who TV Series.

Not much Doctor

The first two episodes have not much of the Doctor and Ace in it. We mostly hear the story from the sight of Captain Gilmore the chef of Counter-Measures, which still trying to find founders for the group. The Doctor is undercover as an independent MP on a platform of nuclear disarmament and Ace as a maid in a wealthy family. Where she met Rachel the other part of the Counter-Measures or better an Ex-Counter-Measures Member.

Conspiracy

Ace and Rachel sadly doesn’t have such a big part. The most story we follow Gilmore and the Doctor, which try to find out what is behind the assassination. There are a lot of things that don’t at up, this why the good into it. There is a little time circle in it but itisn’t mentioned any further. I always like to think about how this circles start or end. The Doctor and Ace find a book writen by Captain Gilmore about the events in 1963.
I doesn’t want to tell more about it. The group the Doctor encounters here as an enemy is featured in others stories. So we will see more about them.

Listen or not

Like I said at the start ‘The Assassination Game’ is third part of the ‘1963 audio serie’. It can be that the other two stories (Fanfare for the Common man with the fifth Doctor and Nyssa; The Space Race with the sixth Doctor and Peri) are in some way connected to this story. I questioned all my source but it seems that they are only connected by the year they play in. So it should okay to just listen to this story.

But back the question. It is a story where Ace is traveling alone with the Doctor and she is a character I never got a real grip on. When she starts traveling with the Doctor and Hex I got a better access to her character.
I also wasn’t a fan the group Counter-Measures in ‘Remembrance of the Daleks’. The character I start liking is Rachel.

So yeah the story is good. But it is not mine. This isn’t a story I can get lost in. So I really didn’t need it but if you like Counter-Measures or Ace than this is good story for you.

DW: Destiny of the Doctor – Trouble in Paradise

Hey Guys,
welcome back to the 6th adventure of the Destiny of the Doctor serie. This story plays on the Santa Maria in 1492 with the sixth doctor and Peri. Just from the start that is not my story…

Characters

Everyone, who follows me know that i am not a big Fan of Peri. It must set place after the ‘timelash‘ because she mentioned it in this story. It is really hard for me to say if this adventure had captured her correctly or not, because i don’t remember much of her character, because she wasn’t one of my favorite. But it seems to be right. The Doctor is kinda… boring…
The met Columbus, who is not really sympatic. We hear a lot of him. The whole story over we hear his logbock entries. Which is in this story for me really annoying. Maybe because Columbus is so an unsympatic character.

Heros that doesn’t must be heroic

Columbus is a hero of the Doctor. Acctually i don’t understand that. For this theme, that hero is not what he seem, could be more suitable characters. So i don’t care about him and Peri didn’t care. Also Peri didn’t see him as a hero at all. But this is a part of the fight they have. They only help the people which counts and not the little ones…

omniparadox

The whole story is not really logical… omniparadox is a thing that the eleventh Doctor needs. I do understand that it is a paradox that… yet where i think about it, it doesn’t make anysense. It is Paradox…
Back to the theme… One of the crew saw the devil and that devil is a Bovine, which tries to change the future so his herd will survive, but he is not realy good with the time travling thing.

Not my story…

DW: 50th anniversary special

Hey Guys,
i rewatched the 50th anniversary special. When i watched it for the first time i kinda liked it. It was one of the better episodes but i never say it as an anniversary special…there was nothing really special… it could have been any episode… but know many thing i dislike now…

Three Doctors

I love to see David Tennant again as the Doctor. He is my favorite Doctor and always was. John Hurt is an amazing Doctor and i would have loved to see more of him. But this is just a celebration of the last years… not of all 50th years…This special shows me why i love David and why i dislike Matts Doctor so much… the Doctor forgets… i just forgets how many people he had killed. He don’t have to live with that fault like the tenth Doctor did. But how could he forget…moving on is a good thing, but forgetting not.

Bad Wolf

I am really happy that they didn’t bring Rose back, but Billie Piper. She is amazing and i love her as the Bad Wolf trying to stop the Doctor. I love how she interact and is looking at him. It is like in a way she is Rose but not the real Rose. Bring the real Rose back would have distroyed everything.

Two storys

It is for one the story of the Doctor making the decision to sacrifice Gallifrey and the story of the invasion of the Zygons. The Zygon story is not the best, but it have their moments and totally works for what it should do. But the Gallifrey story is now really bussering me. I don’t have a problem with bringing Gallifrey back. I love to see other timelords again. Of seeing Romana again. Time Lords are the best enemies ever. My problem is not even that they take that decision the ninth and the tenth Doctor have to live with from them. But watching this season before the special, makes me hate it. Because the whole season with Clara is a big friendly buttom. Nothing the Doctor does have consequenzes. He can save them, save all of them. no consequenzes. Never…

Clara and the other things…

I hate what Clara tells the eleventh Doctor. The warrior, the hero and the Doctor. That is stupid everyone of them is the Doctor. The tenth Doctor wasn’t a hero. He never was and if anyone thing about him like that, i think that they miss understood him. He was a god… a lonely god. Which makes decisions about life and death, he was someone, who thought of himself as a god, which can is own rules. He wasn’t a hero.
Also not everyone can be a hero… this is stupid a hero.. isn’t an easy think.
Also i hate the picture they are drawing of the Doctor. He always finds another way, he always saves everyone… that is not true. The first Doctor doesn’t even care about what happend to Ian and Barbara… He just thought about himself. How often did the Doctor destroyed the Daleks or did murder a race? He did it. This sacrificing Gallifrey is something the Doctor would do, can do, and did do. It is only logic for him. Everyone that thinks the Doctor could never do say a decision should watch Doctor Who again. Pompeji is only one example and when you now tell me this is something just RT Davis did, than i can only tell you watch the classic. He always did this thing.

DW: Destiny of the Doctor – Smoke and Mirrors

Hey Guys,
so here we have the fifth adventure of the ‘Destiny of the Doctor‘-serie with the fifth doctor, Tegan, Nyssa and Adirc read by Janet Fielding and Tim Beckmann. It plays in England in 1920s. Adric is still alive so it must play before Earthschock.

An old friend

The Doctor meets up with an old friend: Houdini. He met the third Doctor and Jo and on another occasion he met the first Doctor, Ben and Polly. So he knows about the incarnation and the time travel. He wants to know the future. So he is an easy target for the master to set an trap for the Doctor. Her we go with another old friend the master. I like the master but this story is just a little boring.

I heart the story just a few minutes ago but it still isn’t stay with me… there is a thing with a tiger, the master taking control, the Doctor almost died and so on.

DW: Destiny of the Doctor – Shadow of Death

So here is the second part of ‘Destiny of the Doctor’. The second doctor is featured in this story with Jamie McCrimmon and Zoe Heriot. Both really amazing companions.

It starts with a really interessting question, who old are they. The Doctor is making fun of Jamie and tells him that he is thousand years old and of course jamie didn’t believed him. But when he tries to think how much time he traveled with the Doctor he could answer that.
When they land he is telling them the whole time that they are save and of course their not save. They are never save.

So it seems like parts of the planet there on are jumping in another timeline? So parts are moving faster than others. Also there are this shadows, that makes people age really fast and die. Thay think that this shadows murdered the civilasation on that planet.

The Doctor becomes of course a messages of the Doctor. The Story is nice. Really good to hear. Freazer Hinz is making a really good job with his readings. He really good at speaking the Doctor. It is really amazing how he did it. I like the turn they are making with the shadows, that they only wanted to comunicated. The Story is good but nothing really amazing – just a nice story.

DW: Destiny of the Doctor – Hunters of earth

Of course i couldn’t let out a 50th years anniversary special and of course i have the TARDIS version of this special in my room.

The first volume is about the first Doctor (William Hartnell) and his granddaughter Susan. I am not a fan of Susan. But the story is not bad.

The TARDIS is damaged and the Doctor is trying to repair it and in this time Susan is going to school of course on the famous school ‘Coal Hill School’. It is like what happen before they met Barbara and Ian. Susan is make a friend Cedric. Of course that is not the story. It beginns with that girl what goes kinda crazy and going to attack Susan and telling her that: she is different and that nobody wants her here, she should just vanished.

Also there is in the radio a song that is from the Doctor for Susan Foreman and Cedric with a very special message about Woodstuck and the Beatles. Also ‘it is all in the wind, Cedric’. What do we made out of it?

The Doctor tries to become a few parts for the TARDIS and there is a guy, who seems to know more about him. He thinks that the Doctor operation basis is in totterslane. Also a few teenagers are attacking the Doctor and tell him ‘that he should go to his own species’. So it seems that many people know about them. So it is not what it seems first. It is about the people who are afraid of the unkown and the desire to use the knowledge of this unkown persons. It is about the Doctor and his opinion about the humans, what has nothing to do with the opinion he had in the new serie. It is about fighting wars.

It is on of the better Stories from this series. Oh yeah, Carol Ann Ford is reading the Story.
