Elementary: Season 3

Hey Guys,

here i go and watched the 3rd seaon of Elementary. The last season left me on really big high. I was judging Watson for not seeing in what dark place he was. That he was running away of the feeling of losing her. I had a great excpetions of this season and one was that we see Sherlock on a really low point in his life. It doesn’t happen like i thought… and i still have very mixed feelings about the third season.

First point: Time jump

The season starts month after the last season and Sherlock is already on a better place than i thought we would see him. He is already fighting his way back and i thought that we would see him fall. Joan built a life for her own. She is working for the police and got a boyfriend, making nemesis. Sherlock is running away and getting a new student.
I dislike the time jump. Because i felt betrayed a little of the fall of Sherlock. It is not that i want to see him fall. I wish him a really great and good life but that show isn’t a happy one. Beneath all the laugh and fun it is really dark and crappy place. The people are pretty broken and we left Sherlock at a place where he lost all ground beneath his feet. He fall…and we didn’t see that. Later in the season we got a flashback and see how worse he was but it was just not enough for me.

Second point: Kitty

Kitty is the biggest point why i have mixed feelings about the season. Just to be clear. I love Kitty. She is an amazing character and her story is really great and i really feel the hole she left. Truth be told I didn’t liked her the first two episodes but she really grow on me. She is a really strong character and utterly broken. That one point i love of her arc is the relationship with Sherlock. Both are so broken. Sherlock needs her to so he doesn’t drown. He concentrate everything on her. He needs her more than she needs him. She needs someone to help her heal and Sherlock is not the right one for it, he himself is to broken for it. But in the end he is it what really helps her heal none aless…
Between Sherlock and Watson it feels like the two has beneath Clyde adopted Kitty.
On the other hand is Sherlock so focused on Kitty that we see Bell just as a cop in the background. He has like zero interaction with Sherlock just with Joan. That is for me a really negative point.
You see my troubled feelings?

Third point: Everyone so broken

The second part of the season is all i missed in the first part. But now i miss Kitty…
Bell and Alfredo get interaction with Sherlock again. We see that fragile friendship grow and how broken they are. Sometimes i forget that Alfredo is a broken junkie like Sherlock. We see him not often struggle and episodes when he does are so good and sad.
Bell is such a lonley character but we never really saw many of that but in the second season it becomes so much clearer.
Also we have to deal with a Watson that is trying to isolate herself when everyone else is struggling to fight the loneliness.
One of my favorite scenes is were Bell and Sherlock through cards at the hockey-cup. Right now he needs just that.

I love the third season. But it is totally not what i thought i would be. But in a way this is better, isn’t it? Maybe i even love that i have such mixed feelings about the season because it is just like the life. It isn’t black and white. Everything is just gray…

DW: I.D.

Hey Guys,

welcome to the 94th big finish main range adventure ‘I.D.’. This is an adventure of the sixth doctor without a companion. The back cover says that it plays in the 32nd century. Ahistory is placing it around 3150 between ‘the brain of Morbius’ and ‘the beast below’. So for the Doctor it has been somewhere between Peri and Mel. Because he is traveling alone. If this is between or after Evelyn is hard to say.

Altering the character

The setting is interessting. The Doctor met a researcher. This group is working on recreate character treats. The do it with data. It seems like people are uploading their character and everything as data. It seems very interessting. What are the consequences of it and why whould people do such things. So this give us alot of interessting stuff to think about. But the first two episodes are not getting into this stuff. It seems like that zhr Scandroids want to transfer data and this data is killing people. So the maschines wander around and upload data into the humans brains and kill them with it.

On the surface

Except from the Doctor we know nothing in this story. We don’t know the time or the characters. We don’t no the big bad. Which means we are in this completely new world and his interessting background that don’t get used. It remembers me alittle of the cybermen and the end is for me a little to happy end. The characters are good and interessting but have way to little time to acctually get into your heart. This story is just to fast for what i could’ve been. If you understand what i mean. Sadly this is what i am telling about the most stories in the last time.

Bonus Story: Urgent Call

This story is the first one that have a short story on the disk. I had this story before it was one of the storys big finish overed to download for free when you have the right from the Doctor Who Magazine. I really like this story. It is different to the others. We have that character Laurel that doesn’t feel well and is calling her mother but instead the Doctor answered the phone. The only way the Doctor is playing in this story is when Laurel calls him be accidient. The whole story are just phone calls she makes and the story is in the background. She just got little parts of what happend from the Doctor.

The best thing in this story is that in the end she doesn’t know how it ends. The Doctor just vanished like always and let her with all the question back. Urgent Call is a really nice story and is totally worth to hear the story before on the disk.

DW: The War Doctor – Infernal Devices: A Thing Of Guile

Hey Guys,

yeah i know that i need a really long time to actually listen to the second part of The War Doctor – Infernal Devices namend A Thing Of Guile. I really liked the first box of The War Doctor – Only The Monstrous. The second box is not bad but something is missing. I really don’t know what it is. The Doctor is the Doctor and the stories are really good…
This story is playing after the ‘Legion of the Lost‘ and this time the Doctor is as a prisoner in mission with Ollistra and the other the Doctor get to know in the adventure before.

War efforts

The stories are all very simular. The time lords find a weapon and try to use it in the war. They found a weapon and the Doctor should find out how it works. But at the same time they find a Dalek projekt. Like the Time Lords the Daleks are trying to find a way/ a weapon to win the war. It is really hard to see the differents between the Daleks and the Time Lords in these stories. The War is making everyone the bad and a victim of the war.
Which is really interessting to see. What does the war make of the people. Also the double standards that never change. The Time Lord are shocked at the unhuman experiments but they are not better. Is the only thing that counts that you win the war or does it matter how you win the war? Is it worth to lose everything that makes you human?

I really love the dark athmosphere and deep question about war and humanity. About losing yourself and be forced to make decision nobody want to make. It is good stuff. But maybe the problem is that it is the same in all the adventures. I am not big fan of War Movies and this shows me that war audio plays are not mine either. But it is way to good to not get the third box… i think.

iZombie: Season 1

Hey Guys,

i really don’t know why my family and me started watching ‘iZombie’. I heart about the serie and thought that doesn’t sound like you had to see it. The story is nothing really specially and sound trashy. I doesn’t have anything about a good trashy show. Just say i had no intentations to look this serie. But like you see it ended very differently.

First Look

I didn’t had he hopes and apart for the story i didn’t know anything about it. Just that a court medicine is a zombie and eats the brain of the dead people and get their talents and memories. The last part is not quite correct but that were my information about this serie. Trashy… and it is like it seems. The story is really like this. She doesn’t get their memories she kinda gets flashbacks when something triggers it. Because of that her boss – who need like 5 minutes to find out that she is a zombie – is telling the police that she is like a medium/clairvoyant and she let the officer to solve crimes.
Still doesn’t have many arguments to look the serie. Since the original story was a comic they kinda tried to bring that in. The have like cheapers in the episode with a headline and a drawn picture. I am kinda annoyed be it. But hey maybe someone likes it.

The Actors…

What does the serie have why i still watching it and will be watching season 2? First Robert Buckley! I loved to see him again. His character is a little boring the perfect nice guy that tries to save everyone and always gets himself nearly killed. But it is good to see him in action. The reason we (and i mean my whole family with it) we didn’t stop watching was the main character. The character is played by Rose McIvoy and she does a great job. She brings a charm into the serie. She is cute and you kinda have to like her – at the start. I think my parents still like her. I on the other hand doesn’t like her very much in the end. She is still cute but she lives in her own world and doesn’t seems to know much about the real world and it is kinda annoying how the situation escaled through the season because she just doesn’t get it and is sooo passive. Really i have something about passive characters.
The reason i still watch is Ravi her boss – played by Rahul Kohli – is nerd cool. He is so sweet and good and i just love his whole character. I watch the show really mostly because of him.
But they serie has a few other actors how are worth a look. Bradley James is just one of the amazing cast. David Anders or Bex Taylor-Klaus are just the ones i really liked.

Reminding me…

The show is reminding me of ‘Chuck’. The charm of the serie is not so different. You just have to kinda like the nerdy, trashy serie. ‘I can Kung-Fu.’ – Chuck as Liv Moore in iZombie. It is fun. Really one episode is totally like ‘I know what you did last summer’ and it is fun to watch the people actually pointing this out.

Watching or not?

How really love a little nerdy stuff and a little trash. Is here in the right place. The story is nothing really great and it at some points you just want to slap everyone because they are so stupid but the characters have charm and aren’t flat. They are nice to watch and even when they are a little dump sometimes are so sweet that you want to know were this will end.
So for me it is totally a watching serie. It is something nice for the in between.

Like i said ‘I can Kung-Fu!’!

DW: Renaissance of the Daleks

Hey Guys,

welcome to the 93th big finish main range adventure – Renaissance of the Daleks. This adventure is with the fifth Doctor and Nyssa. They are not alone on this adventure. They have four new companions in the TARDIS everyone out of a different time. Mulberry is a knight of templar and met Nyssa in 1320. Nyssa and Mulberry are landing in Petersburg 1864 at the time of the american civil war and met Floyd. 1967 they save major alice hunniford and take her with them. The Doctor is traveling with Wilton how seems to be out of a parallel universe. 2158 a year after the Dalek invate the earth but it didn’t happen.

Big group

This is really good. So many characters in the TARDIS. They are all very different even when they all are soldiers in a way. There is so much potential in the conactions between all this characters. This is the best part of the story. All that stuff about the different times and characters. It is fun to hear them try to work together and find out what happend. There is way more potential between them than just this adventure. But sadly they will not travel together longer.

Same old

Okay, i know that every Daleks story is in away the same old story over and over again. But this one of the story i didn’t like very much. The story is in away very boring. I like the characters but everything else seems so act on the survice. So many things doesn’t make much sense to me. Also i am i not a fan of humind Daleks. So the story is not getting me.

I am really sorry for the short articles. I will give my best to change that again.

Torchwood: Made you look

Hey Guys,

i totally tried to listen to this Big Finish Torchwood Adventure – Made you look – way before but i always fall asleep when i started listing. It is not really bad. I am just really tired after the vacation and working again is tiring me out too. But it doesn’t help that this adventures is again with Gwen. I really dislike her. I love everyone in Torchwood just not her and everytime i rewatch Torchwood i dislike her more. So this story is like i told you already about Gwen and it plays in the present after the last adventure with her ‘More than this‘.

The long ride

The story is actually really good. Like every story of Torchwood from Big Finish it has a catch and it is really amazing. The Story works with so like stuff and it is soooo little happening but it is far from boring. It is like a long journey. The only problem with that is that it is Gwen. So everyone who loves Gwen will love the story even more. For me it just works because i don’t really care about her. So with every other character the story be more interessting for me. But like i said the story is good. It is nothing fancy, but just that makes it so good.

The problem with that is again that i can’t tell much about. Because everything i tell you will take something from the story. But just that you got an idea. Gwen found a video where a girl is telling that this one town is dying and Gwen is go there to check things out from there everything turns out bad like always.

So just buy it and listen to it! It is good and it makes me really want a season three. But as far i know there is nothing about that there will be one?! Please!! We need a third season. But what we will definitly will have is a Torchwood special with Gwen, Jack and Ianto. Also in the cast is listed Rhys and Andy. Listen to the trailer: here.

Stranger Things: Season 1

Hey Guys,

so i watched season 1 of ‘Stranger Things’ and i expected something great. I heart a lot about the serie like ‘best serie ever’, ‘the best in a long time’ and so on. Everyone how watched the serie was so excited about it and i don’t understand it. I don’t want to say that i don’t like the serie, i did in a way… and i will definitily watch season 2 when it will come. So let’s talk a little more about the serie. I try to tell not many spoilers. So you just get an insight in the serie.

Every good story…

What happends in the serie? We have a group of kids – four boys, who are outsider in school and became friends – one day one of the boy vanished. Also in an military facility goes something wrong. You need not to be a genius to know that everything is conacted. When the boy vanished a girl appears. Basically everyone tries to find the boy and the military tries to hush up everything. So everything very typically. In a way we have four main groups. Before i tell more about the groups i want to talk about the atmosphere. The whole serie is a little colorless. It is not blackwhite are something but it is a little grey everywhere. Also the serie is working with flashbacks. They are not many but still enough to be significant for the serie.

Group One: The kids

The three boys want of course search for their friend and found the little girl. They hide her and got involved deeper than they should. Like i said in the beginning the boys are outsider and the girl is a little special and not very talkative.The boys have to explain alot to her like what friends mean and things like that. What brings us a few really cute scenes between the kids. A lot of the scenes between them is about their friendship and how they deal with what happend to them. One thing that is like ever other serie just two kids seems to have parents. The parents of the other two were never seen and doesn’t seem very interessted in them and worried that them sneak out in the night or skip school…
The little girl is played by an amazing actress. Millie Bobby Brown does an amazing job. My mother doesn’t really like the serie but she is thinking that she did an awesome job.

Group Two: The Siblings

Two of the boys have older siblings. The one that hide the girl at home has a big sister, which best friend vanished too, and the boy that vanished had an older brother. Both are trying to find them their own way and at some point the decided to help each other out. They are the most ‘aggressive’ group. They are like ‘we want that shit be done’.

Group Three: Mother and the sheriff

They don’t go and make shit done. We have the mother of the boy that vanished, who tried to find him. She is a little crazy and unstable and truth be told she got on my nerves… she is a really bad mother, who tried really hard to be a good one. But the scenes with her really make want to scream. The Sheriff seems at first like the normal drunken sheriff ready with the shitty world but the moment he understand that the boy is really vanished and not just with his dad. He is working to find him really hard. He is actually a really good cop and sees the little things.
Winona Ryder (the mother of the missing boy) is making me want to scream (so totally also an amazing actoress at work), but i really enjoy David Harbour scenes who played the Sheriff. He is a person i just have to like and it doesn’t change the whole season. The feeling just grows more and more.

But the best person was totally Benny! You will totally understand me! Benny is just an amazing good person and i wish in our world would be so much more Benny Hammonds.

Watch it or not?

It is a dark serie with so much cute scenes and dealing with feelings, memories and of course a mystery. It doesn’t happen much surprising or really exciting things, but you just want to know what will happen to the kids – most of all the girl. But all the boys are really sweet and in away you just have to watch it until the end. So watch it or not?
If you like serie that are really good from story and character but don’t are really surprising and new than watch the serie. It is good. I will totally watch season two.

Scream: Season 2

Hey Guys,

you know sometimes i write about the whole season after watching them but with Scream i can’t do it, because it would be so full of spoilers and i totally forgot already the most of it. But i want to tell a few of my thoughts. Soooo Spoilers… i will be talking about the killer.

After the final i had to watch a special episode again to make for that the killer could have worked alone. I played before the final with the thought that their were to killers at work. I know many people thought that the old accomplice got a new accomplice. But i thought that maybe their would be two totally different killers that had nothing to do with each other. Sad thing is i can’t tell you why i thought that. Also i had to watch the whole season again to actually find evidence of that. But yeah… now i think that i wasn’t so wrong about it.

Now to the killer. Truth be told for me it couldn’t just be three person but like i told before all three were why to obviouse. Everything pointed to Eli. So it was way to obvious. It was clear that he was a creepy guy that got framed – creppy runs in the family.
I like that the killer is someone that played from the first season but really Kieran? It was so obvious… the whole season made it so clear that Kieran is the one everything points too. Even that Eli is the one everything points to is pointing to Kieran…
But i already said that in season one. Kieran is totally creepy and i totally thought he was capable of killing them all. Truth be told after his father got killed i thought that he wasn’t it.

This was kinda disapointing. I don’t know. I hoped for something surprising not something you see coming from miles. How Noah said they not saw though coming… yeah because you turned a blind eye… it wasn’t surprising… just a little boring.
But i am happy that Brooke, Noah and Audrey survived again… but the chances are getting worse every season… I just want to protect these three babies!
And i totally against Gustavo and Brooke! Brooke don’t you see what is right in front of you? Audrey! In the first season we had that one scene were Mr Brandon tried to got into Brookes home and he told he hasn’t the one and she doesn’t let him in. We got almost the same scene with Gustavo in this season. He stayed before the doors and want in but Noah told her no and she decided that maybe… just maybe Noah could be right and he could be the killer.
But when she saw everything Emma and Audrey did… when she saw the video of them. She doesn’t believe any of it. Her father died and Audrey and Emma got arrest with the bloody murder weapon in their hands, she doesn’t for one second believe that this two had killed him. She believed them.
After all the lies Audrey told, after everything she did (to Jake) Brooke choose to believe her. That she believes Emma because she know her so long okay. But the friendship with Audrey is new. They developed this in season one. Yeah…okay. I just want Brooke and Audrey end up together. PLEASE!!!
I ship many people but mostly guys with each other, but these two are way to pressious with each other. I love to see their relationship develope further and deepen. So please get Audrey and Brooke together.

DW: Nocturne

Hey Guys,

welcome to the 92 big finish main range adventure ‘Nocturne. It plays around 2800 (by AHistory – the TARDIS.wiki is saying 2797) on the planet Nocturne. The Seventh Doctor is visiting this periode of time alot and in different incarnations. This time he brings Hex and Ace.

Implications

In my head i think about which adventures Tegan or Mel had on that planet. With which others the Doctor visited his friends. Sadly i don’t know about big finish having other adventures their. I would love to have a few short stories about this meetings. It is like there are not always big problems, just the Doctor visiting his old friends and is quiet lovely to think about it. That he is no capiable of it. Not like the third Doctor.

Trip to Venice

I really want to know what the trips was like. Hex is telling a few time that it becomes more and more like his trip to Venice. This is actually one of the best thing of this adventure. The close way Hex, Ace and the Doctor act to each other. How they talk about their past and tease each other. Also this epsiode is giving Ace someone to bond with and i really beginn to love her. How easy she is opening her heart to this people and how vulnerable.
The adventure was just like a schooltrip to Venice.

Just what it is

The story feels warm and confortable. It is inviting us to a nice trip with friends and you can feel it. The danger don’t have many schockeffects or action. It is just happening. The atmosphere became darker and sadder the longer the story goes. But it never lost the familiar feeling. The Music that have a big role in the story is just underpin this story. The Music is beautiful and kinda sad. It remembers me why i love sometime classic music on the piano. They are caring so much feelings.
So the normal story about someone or something is killing people is becoming something special and make it to one of my favorite stories.

DW: The War Doctor – Infernal Devices: Legion of the Lost

Hey Guys,

here i am a little late but better than never with the second Box of ‘The War Doctor’ and the first adventure ‘Legion of the Lost’. It plays after Box One and he is like always travling alone. Of course it doesn’t stay that way. This adventure he meets Collis. She is on a mission and is the last one alive.

Time Lords are better hands?

Collis and her team had the mission to get a weapon that is really dangerous. It earses people and things completely from existince. Of course the time lords want them but the Doctor doesn’t want it in the hands of the time lords. He is out to destroying it and Collis is dying.
This is were the story really begins. Because the time lords work on a new war advantage. They bring the warriors back from the death so they can die again in the war.

Cost of a war

Is it alright to win a war at all cost? How far can we go? Does we have a right to do everything? This is what are not just the questions in this story. This are the questions in the whole story of the war doctor. It is about war crimes, about sacrifices and moral. Even this Doctor has morals. He isn’t one to allow such things. He believes that their is a differnt cost to bringing someone back to live.
Of course he is right.
