DW: The Creed of the Kromon

Hey Guys,
here comes ‘The Creed of the Kromon’ the second adventure in the Divergent Universe with the eighth Doctor and Charley (Sherzo was the first adventure). It is the 53 part of the Big Finsh main range and plays somehow after Sherzo.

New Characters

The Doctor and Charley get to know alot of new people. One of the C’rizz is a future companion. C’rizz is a really interessting character. He is loyal and intelligent. He do stuff on his own and don’t wait for the Doctor and his plans. He is not impressed with the Doctor talents, he just like him. The most i love his sacrsm. He is ready to do would has to be done. The Ooorg is another friend. That is a big help for them in the story.

Kromon

The Kromon held other species captive and make them their willing slaves with a fluid they have to drink. They let them work for them and breed for them. C’rizz escaped from them and met the Doctor and Charley. But he is not long free. The Kromon capture them all. The Kromon is a specie that is from the structure totally defierent from the humans. So the do alot of science. The planet they are living on has not enough water for the Kromon, because of the twos suns they have. So they want travel in Space and they also make experiments to clone them.

Break out

The story is alot about break out, get captured and break out again. All three characters have a lot time to shine and their own. Even when it is the same in the episodes it is never boring. C’rizz is making the story really interessting. This story shows us again that Doctor Who doesn’t live because of the Doctor. This story is carried by C’rizz and his interaction with the Ooorg and Charley. The chemistry between them is really amazing and also the chemistry between him and the Doctor is working really good. So we will have a lot of fun with these three characters.

Doctor Who: Scherzo

Hey Guys,

let’s talk about Scherzo of Doctor Who. It is part of the main range of the Doctor Who audio story – to be excatly number 52. To be clear it is maybe not a good starting point for people, who don’t know much adventures of the eighth Doctor and don’t know Charley (Charlotte Pollard). Like you maybe know for me it was like that. Of course… i had the same problem with the last companions Fitz and Anjal.

It is the first adventure that plays in the Divergent Universe. The problem with it is that you need the story before to fully understand what is happing. So beaware that now everything can be a spoiler.

Charlotte Pollard

She is one of the human companion of the Doctor. She seems to have a interessting timeline. Because she is the companion of the eighth Doctor, but later she apparently travels with the sixth Doctor.
So it seems that the eighth Doctor saved Charley from her death that seems to be a fixpoint in time, what breaks the law of time and the time lord handled it with exile him in to the Divergent Universe and Charley is following him there.
Later she meets the sixth Doctor what is problematic because of the foreknowledge of his future. Even later the Doctor have to explain his actions to her.

Start of the Story

We get through in the story. The Doctor is exiled and have to choose to go in the light or the dark. The light is like we get to know the Divergent Universe. But this isn’t the decision of the Doctor it is the decision of Charley. The Doctor seems in this story to be again on a point were he give up (what seems to be a habid of the eighth Doctor). He wants to die.
Charley in this story is really sympatic to me. She isn’t to let the Doctor throw shit at her and that what he does the whole time. He is that asshole timelord we all love once in a while. The first two episodes were almost just the two of them fighting or ignoring each other.

Boring?

Does it sound boring maybe. But it is an amazing story and it give the characters so much time to shine and struggle. We just have the two of them and we can see so much of how it looks like in them. We hear Charley struggling with the way the Doctor is dealing with things. Also apparently the Doctor told her that he loved her, but know he tells her that he didn’t mean it. Charley get’s really emotional and i think everyone can feel with her hear. The Doctor is just like really you want to this things now? And to be truthful this is a side of the Doctor i missed. Totally don’t get why somethings seems so important to human, just things about the mystery and giving everyone the fault just not himself.

Fighting back?

This story shows us a perfect inside of the Doctor and why he chooses this companions. This Story is characterisation of him. Everything is so much the Doctor. This is the most interessting in this story to see which things you find in every Doctor and the things that just are the parts of the eigtht. It is amazing how the Doctor is charactisated here. Charley also is fighting her place into my heart.

If you want a really good story, with really good character inside. Listen to Scherzo. It is really amazing. I love it already really much. I hope Big Finish never stops make such amazing stories.
