SJA: The Enemy of the Bane

Hey Guys,
we are at the final of the second season of Sarah Jane Adventures.

Bane is back

Mrs Wormwood took Ranis mother. So Sarah Jane and Rani goes to find her. Of course she is waiting for them, but she wants the help of Sarah Jane. This took them by surprise and i would not her trust her easily. Luke doesn’t feel confortable around her. The Bane are searching for item and Mrs Wormwood wants to find it first. This item is at UNIT. So Sarah Jane and Rani goes to visited an old friend.
Luke is troubled with Mrs Wormwood. He is trying to deal with it. He still feels lonley. Mrs Wormwood is playing with him and telling him that is his Mum so he frees her.

UNIT

The Brig is not a friend of the ‘new’ UNIT. UNIT seems to tell him, how the world changes for the bad, but he don’t get that shit. He is the Brig. It is so much fun to see him again and also meeting Sarah Jane again. The Brig is helping her to break into UNIT. It is so nice to see that Sarah Jane does see the man and not UNIT. He knows about Luke but UNIT doesn’t.

Mrs Wormwood

Mrs Wormwood of course don’t want to save the universe. She has her own plan and get to work with the Sontaran Sarah Jane defeated with the others. Also she wants Luke to go with them. Luke is going with them to save his family. Mrs Wormwood is trying to talk him to really go with them and work with them. She wants him on her side as her son. But Luke is not going for it. He does what he always does save the earth or tries. He don’t want to be a god. He really sees Sarah Jane has his mother and never Mrs Wormwood.

DW: Destiny of the Doctor – Vengeance of the Stones

This audio book is the 3rd part with the third doctor of the ‘Destiny of the Doctor‘- Serie and it is read by Richard Franklin and Trevor Littledale. It plays in the Doctors UNIT time and i would say it plays after Liz is going to leave the Doctor and before Jo will take his part. This is the story how the Brig and the Doctor will meet Mike Yates. Bentons role is sadly not big.

UNIT is needed

UNIT get called after two jets just disapears. Of course the Brig and Doctor are on the scene and they work really closly with Mike Yates – who we all know.
The most fun of this story is the relationship of the Brig and the Doctor. The Doctor is saying something and the Brig let him do what ever he wants and than behind the back of the Doctor he is doing the opposite. This is who the work and why we love them so much. So the audio book is doing a good thing here. The characters are in Character and lovly as ever.

Aliens against humanity

The Doctor founds out about the stone circle and the alien that are behind it. This aliens take Mike to get information to fight against the human. They hate them and want revenge for all the people that died thousands of years ago. The Doctor is trying to talk them out of it. Because all that humans that did this are not alive anymore. But when he had a step forward UNIT is stepping in and is ready to take weapons to save Mike.
This is where everything will go complicated.
They are UNIT which wants to save the earth and do this with fighting against this aliens and the aliens what to fire their superweapon at the humans. But the Doctor get form himself the job to find another solution.

Fazit

It is on of the best of this serie. The characters are fun and everyone that love Mike Yates most hear this audio book, because this is the beginning of Mike Yates in UNIT. I can only recommand that.

UNIT: Time Heals

Guys, i did it, i listend to the first volume of UNIT and i love it. I started it a few times before but everytime i lied down to just listen i begann to sleep. But not today i was awake to hear that really good audio play.

The Brig

I of course borght it because the Brig is having a part in it. I love the character and i totally love his voice. The role of the Brig is not that big. He wants to enjoy his retierment. But he don’t never just sit still when something happend and he did really good work. We can saw he sees things. Things the other don’t see so fast, because they don’t have his experience.

The changes at UNIT

UNIT is in a complicated position. IRIS are making their own thing and are the enimey for UNIT. The Miltary wants his own investigation team under their comant and the public wants to know everything about UNIT and the things that are going on. It makes it diffecult to interact like they did before. When this exident happend the CEO of UNIT got missing and the became someone new. Someone that knows the former incommant woman of IRIS. Someone that don’t believe in the impossible. Someone that wants answers but is not ready to except them.

This could make a difference

We have these two scientists that are investigate a mashine/spaceship. What they did have mass influence of the surrounding. They talk about sacrifice people for the greater good – for their scienes. Sometimes it could be worth it. But is it ever worth it? This scientist are working for IRIS and they decide to sacrifice people so they could do their job.

So yeah i love it, because it has the Brig and UNIT and yes the story is something new, but what is new. I hopefull find the time to hear the second volume.

DW: Battlefield

So, i love this episode because the Brig is playing in it and UNIT is there again. A UNIT without the Brig. I really have big expetations. The Brig is in retirement but he goes back when he hears that it is about the Doctor.

This Story had a cross over with other demension. With Arthur and Mordrid and they are knowing the Doctor as Merlin. So it is fun to see all people recognize the Doctor as Merlin. But the best part is that the Brig also recognized the Doctor.

It is really lovly to see the Doctor and the Brig interact. It is so sad we can’t see the Brig with another Doctor. He is perfect and he brings Bessie. The Story is for my taste a little to much magic, but i really like everything else. UNIT Stories where alway the best because of the characteres. And the Characteres have not losed anything. It is sad that Benton is not also back. But as long we have the Brig i am happy.

For everyone which love the Brig, this is a really good story. The Brig is amazing in it and it did him really justiz. The Doctor is really cold. He fight with words and that is amazing but he also is distant. He choose a side and don’t have any thoughts about the enenmy. He no longer tries to safe everyone.

Long live the Brig and UNIT.

DW: S08x06 – The Caretaker

Hey Guys,

welcome to the new episode of Doctor Who. I don’t know what to think about this. Actually the Story was not bad. I just thing that i found something i don’t like about the Doctor. This hate of soldiers, that he do like soldiers are stupid. I am not a big fan of soldiers myself. Yeah i know i love on Doctor Who UNIT and they are all soldiers. But yeah, i understand that the Doctor don’t like them. But just remember UNIT. What the Doctor does to him and i mean before he knows that he is Claras boyfriend, is totally disrespectfull to all the people he knows and met. Mike Yates and Sergant Benton were never idiots. The thought for himself and would do anything for this earth. The Brigadier maybe makes decision the Doctor don’t like but he respected the man behind it. The Brig was a good friend of the Doctor and he also was in the end a math teacher. Martha Jones began to work for UNIT. His own Doctor daughter was a born soldier, but she was so much better than the Doctor in just one day. I hate how disrespectfull he is to all the people that helped him, people who cared really much for him.

I like the idea that the Doctor don’t like Danny, but not like that. That is totally a point i don’t like about this Doctor and i will not change my mind about it, because i care about these characters very much. They are not stupid. I don’t want him to talk about them like that. It is okay and sweet that he has something against Danny, like a father – to make sure he is good enough. I like that Danny totally sees through him. He is a little like Rory in that point. The Doctor pushes you and you do great things, but sometimes you break at it.

I am not a fan of Danny and i don’t think i ever will be, but the episode is having something and he what he says to Clara in the end is sweet and i really like it. So we will see how the dynamic will work out between them three.

DW: UNIT – The Coup

Hey Guys,

i have got the prologe of the UNIT serie, that have 4 parts. You can download it at big finish for free (UNIT – The Coup) The important think is that it featured The Brig. You all know i love the Brig and the UNIT time. This is about a new UNIT. UNIT should becoming part of a other organisation ICIS. For that reason the Brig should held a speech at a press conference. But ICIS just sees him as an old man. ICIS is fighting against the Silurians. Silurians are a taking the Brig and he takes it in his own hands. He totally understand fast that nothing is like it seems and makes a different speech.

It is totally the Brig how we love him. So everyone how likes him, should totally hear it. I want to buy the other parts. So yeah i think you will hear really fast more of it.

DW: Old Soldiers

Hi Guys,

I was watching ‘The Web of Fear’. It is not a surprise that I love the story. I mean it has the 2nd Doctor and Jamie in it – how can you not love it. But the main reason I love it so much and that I am writing here about is the Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart. It is the first Story he appears and he is such a good character. I miss the adventures with him so much. So I bought the audio book ‘Old Soldiers’ from the Companion Chronicles. It is not only a story about the Brig. It is also read by Nicholas Courtney and he bring his character to life like we know it from him.

The Consequence

Than lets talk about the Story. It plays after the Silurian ‘Invasion’ (Doctor Who and the Silurian). Where he and the third doctor had their ‘quarrel’. A friend of the Brig calls him for help and when he comes see him, his friend had a breakdown and it seems like his mind turns against him. The Brig feels the need to find out why this happened to his friend and calls the Doctor for help.
The Story take the Brig and lets him question his decisions he did as a soldier to protect the earth. He had so many thinks to handle. The people feared an invasion and they distrust the Doctor. His job is to keep this people save.
I really love how the work with this things and decisions everyone makes. But the most I love the friendship of the Brig and the Doctor, which is really good to see.

I just can can recommend it. Everyone who loves the Brig should actually listing to it because it is a good story and perfect insight of his character.

If anyone can recommend other good stories of the Companion Chronicles let me know. Big Finish has me in his fangs 😉
