Torchwood – The Dying Room

Hey Guys,

here we are with the final of the third season of Big Finish Torchwood – The Dying Room. I must say that this story is the weakest, but still amazing. The story is not bad and i like the idea of telling the story.

Biggest and only problem

The problem I have with this story are the characters. We have 4 persons in this story. The two main characters. The first one is an SS-Offizier and the other is a man who get questioned by the SS. The whole story is about this and the story that leads to this. In the story that leads to this we have two more characters. Gabriel the son of the man and a lady the man met. But none of the characters get me. I don’t developed any feelings or likings for a character. That is why the story lost for me. Because no matter how good the story is when the characters are not sympathic than it is no good.

Story flow

The story is told in two levels. The first one is the interrogation and the second one is what the man tells his Interrogator. The first time I listened to the story I was really tired and got a little confused but when you listen to it when you are awake than it is really easy to follow. Like all the other Torchwood stories this one as a surprising turn. There were actually a few things that were clear for me but other stuff I didn’t thought of.

Listen to The Dying Room or not

Definitely go listen to the story. Yes it couldn’t get me but I still think it is a really great story. Also it is Torchwood so there is no reason to actually not listen to it. I am really excited for the next season. The have a few really promising combinations like Ianto and Owen but my favorite will be Andi and Norton.

Torchwood – The Office that never was

Hey Guys,

welcome to the next adventure of Big Finish Torchwood – The Office that never was with Ianto Jones. An Adventure with Ianto Jones as a main character can’t be bad. I am still not sure about what to thing about it. The story play in the 2000s obviously. But i don’t know were it plays in the serie… i would say somewhere in the second season.

Hunting Ghost

Ianto investigate an abandoned building. A Building that don’t like Ianto. Which sounds really stupid, but it is kinda fun at first. Lights not going on for him or lifts don’t let him enter. He met a woman in this building who can’t even remember her name. They try to find out what actually is wrong in this building and later to just leave the building.
I got really fast clear that someone has a problem with Ianto and it seems that what ever happend, he don’t remember anything.

Listing or not

It is an Ianto Jones adventure so totally yes. The story is good. We slowly find out what actually happend in the past. Ianto Jones has a darker side and this story is a little playing with it. The darker Ianto. When I think about the story the Adam story comes to my mind. It has not much to do with each other but it still seems conacted. Sometimes i forget the dark side of Torchwood. They never had a perfect solutionen. There are so often sacrifices. This story remembers me of that dark side of Torchwood. A side we schould never forget.

Torchwood_cascade_CDRip_tor

Hey Guys,

I listened to this adventure of Big Finish Torchwood before but I got not around to write about it. Torchwood_cascade_CDRip_tor is a really different story. I actually can never decide if I love this story or hate it. This is another adventure with Toshiko Sato, who get a phone call of an old friend from Torchwood. It plays in the 2000s in London. It actually plays a few month before the final of season two.

It is really hard to listen to

What makes the story so special is also what makes it so annoying. The story is about a computer virus. So your CD is not broken. All that sound fluctuations and the scenes that are mixed in and all that other stuff is intentional. It makes it really, really hard to listen to. But it also created a total different atmosphere. Truth be told I hated that way of telling this story but with the end… it is just kind of perfect. I love Tosh so much and this hurts really.

Computer Virus on the lose

So like I said before the story is about a computer virus. This computer virus is targeting people who are downloading stuff illegal. Steven an old Torchwood worker who can’t stop looking out for this stuff. Find these people dying and calls Toshiko for help. Toshiko obviously goes and help him. The chemistry between Tosh and Steven is really good and it brings back all the old Tosh/Owen feelings. This story is like all the other stories and works on his own. But there are so many little stuff in it that makes it so amazing. We hear Yvonne and we hear stuff that happened or will happen.

Listen or not

Yes please go and listen to this amazing story. This story is an amazing annoying masterpiece. It is everything. The story is full of love and feelings. Feelings of Tosh and Tosh feelings. Tosh is amazing and I really love her and this story.

Torchwood: Corpse Day

Hey Guys,

welcome to the third and at the time best Torchwood adventure this season ‘Corpse Day’. This is the first Owen Harper adventure and i was really excited about it. Owen was the only one that wasn’t back yet. But it is not just Owen. In this adventure he teams up with Andy what actually is a great combination.

Owen and the Corpse Day

Corpse Day is a day were Torchwood offers their help to the police. What most of the time don’t end well. Jack thought it would be funny to send Owen for this corpse day because he is a corpse. What actually makes it really clear at which time this is playing – between his two death.
After his death he got even more – i don’t find the right word for it.
We all know Owens history. We know that he was a doctor and what he lost and how he stopped believing in a good end. He is eaten up with the life.

I love Owen because he is for me a person were all the oppesits united. He is eating up about life but also has so much respect for life. He has hard and sarcastic shell and inbetween he is slowly dying because of his inability to save people.

Andy surprises me

We don’t know much about Andy and this story shows us another side of him. I don’t want actually say to much but i was surprised by Andys reaction. I would never thought he would reacted that way, but when you think about it, it is logic. It is Andy. It is a side we didn’t see because he never had a big part in Torchwood before. Here we see more sides of him. To pair Andy and Owen together with that kind of story is a masterpiece. They are the oppists of each other. Owen shows us a darker side of Andy. They made the character flaws of each other more visible.

The way it goes

I don’t want to say much because the story is great and not what you thought at the beginning. You can piece it together a little faster than Owen but it still goes in a direction i didn’t thought of. It starts as fun part because really Andy and Owen… but don’t except a funny and light story. The gets really fast really dark.
It is such a cruel and real story. It left you with a lost feeling. It leaves you with alot to think about.

Really this for now my favorite Torchwood story this season and here i really love the way they tell it, the way the leave the end. It is just all we need to make our own thoughts and our own decission about what this end is.

Torchwood: The Dollhouse

Hey Guys,

welcome to another adventure of Torchwood – The Dollhouse. Like every season there is at least one adventure about a person you don’t know or barely now. So this adventure is not just with persons we don’t know, we also leave the country. This story is taking place in America Los Angeles in the year 1970 with the three angels.

Charlies Angels

The whole story is built like ‘Charlies Angels’. I never saw the original serie but the movies. The movies starts with telling us the background story of the three angels and this is totally what happend here. So this is fun but also i wasn’t a big fan of the idea but it turns out to be really good. What i like is that here the unfair and hard reality that always was in Torchwood is still part of it. Torchwood is no fairy tale and the angel can not mysterical everything. They are so human in everything they do. I fall in love with this three people so fast and the best thing is the last scene. That is how the movie should have ended.

Do you want to be an actress?

The story is good. Young girls disapear and all of them wanted to be an actress. They all are by the same agent and a word in there files ‘Dollhouse’. Like i said the story is good. It is built so you just know as much as our angels. It has a little action, a little humor and a little dramatic. It has everything a good story needs. What i think is that they could have had a little more time on the topic what actually is going on. But that is just me and the more i think about it is maybe better that the gave a us just what they gave us.

So of you go to fight with our three angels.

Torchwood: Visiting Hours

Hey Guys,

here we go with the new season of Torchwood – Visiting Hours . I was really excited about it because really Rhys William deserves his own adventure. He is amazing and such a great character that definitly deserves the screen time. Truth be told Rhys is one reason i hate Gwen so much and the only reason i can accept her. The way she treated Rhys in the first two seasons was… alone for that. But Rhys loves her and that makes her acceptable.

On his own

Rhys always gets his stuff done. We have seen him deal with alot. When he found out about Torchwood his whole life changed but with all that shit going down, he never stoppt being himself and believe in the world and see the good things.
Look at Owen or Tosh Torchwood made them cynical. Torchwood changes people. Rhys is not looking away. He is always trying his best. Yes i love him. Here he got now is adventure on his own. Sadly i think the could have done more with it. Rhys is alright on is own. Of course he is not totally alone.

What happens

Rhys is spending a night in the hospital with his mother. He runs into something suspicious and is trying to find out what is going on. So he ends with his mother on the run in the floors of the hospital. That is the sad stuff. I really like the Mum stuff. She is just right mix of annoying and totally lovely. The story is not bad also… it is just… it could be more. This story just scratched the survice.

This is actually the first time i listend to a Torchwood adventure and thought that could have been more. So i am really sad that this is a adventure with one of my favorite characters that really didn’ got enough time to shine. He is amazing and i hope we will have alot more adventures with him.
