DW: The Reaping

Hey Guys,

welcome to the 86 adventure ‘The Reaping’ of big finish main range with the sixth Doctor and Peri. This story takes place in on the 24th september 1984 in Baltimore. Peri is leaving in the end of the story for a time that is not nearer defined before she rejoin the Doctor. This Story is part of a bigger story. The Reaping, The Gathering and The Harvest belong together. The Reaping can stand alone. There is just one thing that just stays in the dark. But sometimes it happens in Doctor Who.

Peris life

This story is a very personal story for Peri. At a station on the moon ‘the googlebox’ you can see everything on earth history and she decide to look for her family. That is when she found out that her best friends dad is murdered. She wants to go home. But the welcome doesn’t go like she hoped and of course there is more about the murder.
For the first time I listened to a story where I totally like and understand Peri. We have do deal with a lot emotion from Peri and it really works for me. I feel so much with Peri in this story that the other characters like Peris mother or her best friend Cathy seems unsympathetic for me and i dislike them. It is not that their feelings are not understandable too. But they just doesn’t work for me, like Peri.

The murder case

Peri and the Doctor already have a close relationship again. She feels secure around him. It is lovely to hear. Especially when you have like older Peri with them. You actually see the similar between Peri and her mother. The story just plays with these few people. After they found out that the have to deal with cybermen. The Doctor, Peri, her mother, Cathy and Brother and the suspect of the murder are trapped on the building in the graveyard.
The murdered father comes back as a cybermen and we have to ask us if something is left in the cybermen of the real man. And what is the meaning of surviving.
The story is so real and tragic. It is a really good story and with The Gathering it got even better. Just two things are not to liking.

First i really dislike that there is something left of the father…but they are explaining it with the uncompleted conversion. Which would make him like Lisa and with this i can live.
The second thing is that the Doctor in the end let something on earth on the house of Peri, which doesn’t make sense and is really irresponsible.

DW: The Kingmaker

Hey Guys,

welcome to the 81 big finish main range adventure ‘The Kingsmaker’. The fifths Doctor is traveling with Peri and Erimem. It takes place in 1483 and 1485 in England. For the Doctors timeline it takes place after the Planet of fire and after the Axis of Insanity.

Big start

The Doctor made a contract at his fourth Incarniation that he will write a kids book. This Books should be called The Doctor, Who decover… and it becames Doctor Who. It is a funny play with our title. But that is not what the story is about. The Doctor wanted to write about the mystery about Richard 3 and who killed the princes in the tower. The story plays with a lot of things. What is going on there and than there is the mysterious man ‘Mr Seyton’, which has a TARDIS and alot of knowledge about the future.

Different sides of view

This story gives us alot of time to see the different points of view of Peri and Erimem. That is actually why i love to have an companion like Erimem again in the TARDIS. We see how Erimem sees the death and how she sees alot very different. She is ready to learn new things and is eager to get to know all that stuff. But she has strong opinions and is ready to do things Peri would never understand. Which makes the story very interessting.

But that is the only thing that is interessting. The Story is not bad but not the best.

DW: Cryptobiosis

Hey Guys,
this is the third adventure of the special subscriber releases. At first it was only available for subscriber that get ‘Other Lives’ but now everyone can buy it. It is a nice adventure with Sixth Doctor and Peri in 1901 on the ship Lankester.

Sometimes i forget

You all remember that i am not a big fan of Peri but she is a good character. Which has a lot screen time in this adventure. She is one that just is amazed by the miracles of the nature. When she met a mermaid, she just want to help her. Peri always want to help. She makes fast friends. But not all are like her. This adventure is about human nature. A guy wants to get rich for selling the mermaid. This happens when people she something amazing. Not just that he wants to do this, we also see how far he would go to get what he wants – like murder.

The Doctor and the Captain

At first the adventure doesn’t seems not very logic and the character dump. There is a murder on the ship and the captain arrest the Doctor even when he could be the one. I don’t understand why he did this charade because this isn’t making much scenes for me. But this is the only thing that is here not right. Like i said before it is a nice adventure for now and then.

Are other species better

Peri is a good human. She has a really good heart and doesn’t want to let anyone die. We all know how humans mostly just save their own skin. But are other species better. The mermaids are not. They want to let everyone die, so they are save. Does Peri get them to change their mind.

DW: The Axis of Insanity

Hey Guys,

so ‘The Axis of Insanity’ is the 56 adventure from the main range. The Story takes place somewhere after the ‘Resurrection of the Daleks’. The fourth Doctor is traveling with Peri and Erimem. I excatly not pretty sure when this story or all the Erimem stories are set in the timeline after the Doctor. It seems like it has to be after the goodbye of Thourlough. If someone knows better tell me.

Erimem

So what do we need to know about this companion? She appear the first time in the story ‘The Eye of the Scorpion’, which is the 24 adventure of ‘Big Finish Main Range‘. She is an uncrowned Pharao from the ancient egypt. When she started traveling with the Doctor at the age of 17. She as a great wisdom and wants to learn more. The Doctor offered her the chance of doing that. Along the travels with the Doctor she and Peri built a strong bond like sisters.

Mistakes of the Time Lords

This story is one of the most interessting. I love all the theme about Time Lord and their mistakes. This Story tells us what happend to the part of history the Time Lord changes. The mighting Time Lords are making mistakes that left their traces. We learn about the way Time Lords deal with their mistakes. They hide them and lock them away. It shows us a side of the Time Lords that they try to hide.
Also we see the graveyard of the TARDIS’s. The way they create the atmosphere is really amazing. I could see it before my eyes the way Erimem sees it. Beautifull and so sad.

Insanity

What is insanity or what sanity? The story apart from the really good theme about the Time Lords is really insane. Many parts of it seem unreal and crazy and other way to much real. It is life and it is fantasy. It is a special mix that defines the whole story. First it seems like only the Doctor get screen time but than Peri is out of the TARDIS searching for her. And the two first episode you think that Erimem is just there. But than she can shine too. Erimem had too little time but that time she has were really strong and good stuff.

In the end i really like the crazyness and the reality of the story. I like the way Time Lords play there part without being really a part of the story.

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: Players

Hello Guys,

It is the sixth book of the 50th Anniversary Collection (Past Doctor Adventures) from Doctor Who and is featuring the sixth Doctor (Colin Baker) with his companion Peri.

The book is a little patchy. It goes about Churchil and a group of people trying to interfere with his history. They are trying to kill him and it seems like it is a kind of a game. We just don’t know the rules or the goal. This is the interessting part of it. The other part is Hitler again… Of course it is this time, but i have problems with the way the most medias deal with that topic. In that book it is not so bad. I don’t know much about that time in England so i don’t know who good the time is written, but it seems realistic.

What i really like is that we met old friends. The solider of ‘the war games’ for example. Also we met the second doctor again. This is an amazing good a idea and i love how they play with it. Peri have a little action for herself can totally shine. What i find a little sad is that this Doctor is so nice. Of course the Doctor lose a little of his ‘hard’ side but he is for my picture of the sixth doctor to nice. I hoped for little more sarcastic Doctor, a little snippy?!

It is nice to get a little history about Winston Churchill. I don’t feel the tension. It jsut walks slowly and it is not my thing. It is nice to have so many faces you know to see interact with each other but it is not enough.

The last chapter makes a good end. At first i thought that it was unsatisfying but i read the last few pages and thought about it, it is on of the best ends you can make i think.

The next book is Earthschock with the eighth Doctor, because the book of the seventh book of the 50th Anniversary Collection is just the book about the episode. So i watch it and i don’t need to read it.

DW: Mission of the Viyrans

Hey Guys,

lets talk about a new audio drama. This is a drama of the serie ‘Big Finish Monthly releases’. I get it for free on big finish with out the story ‘The Mind’s Eyes’,  it gets released with. But they don’t be connected. So know the story is featuring the fifth doctor and Peri. I really like the Story. But only Peri has a really big part in the Story. The Doctor just played a few minutes. Everything is about Peri.

We don’t know what happend. Peri is talking to the Doctor and than something happend. The Doctor is changing into Peri. Than she wakes up in a room and someone is talking to her. They want that she remembered what happend. Peri has problems to remember. She remembered that everyone turned into her.

We met the Viyrans again. You maybe remember them form Dark Eyes 2 ‘The White Room’. They are nurses. Peri is a patient zero and they want to make her forget. It is really nice to listen to the Story.

DW: The sixth Doctor has arrivied (Twin Delimmea)

Hi Guys,

the first look at the Doctor he don’t really seems sympatic but his mimic is grandios. He is more serious than the others. He has this ‘fits’ where is quite parnoid and kinda violent. He is rude and very touchy. The style of his clothes are different and against how serious, arrogant and dark he seems, his clothes are patchworked and colorful. I like the contrast and the mimic of him. A darker Doctor could be really interesting and excatly want we need now. Actually he isn’t the nice trusting guy anymore is paranoid and kinda cruel with his choice of words.

Peri seems to have problems to come to therms with this Doctor. Peri isn’t my favorite Companion. I didn’t like her very much but that conflict between her and the Doctor are really interesting.

So i stared episode 2 and i must say i really like the new doctor and at the same time he totally annoys me. I like the scene where he call Peri Tegan and his look on the face. The episode have a interessting twist . maybe everyone would see it but i didn’t remember that face, so for me it is an interessting twist. I like to see the Doctor to became mixed up in the Story.

Let’s start with episode 3. I like Lt. Lang. But i don’t know what i think about the Story. I really like the characters and there interaction, but everything else is just… i  don’t know. I don’t like how the doctor give peri the fault for everything, but Peri is fighting back and that makes her more sympatic to me. But when i think that i don’t like that Doctor, than he makes something that i think that i love him. I have that feeling that this is something that will stand for the sixth Doctor eternal struggel and i kinda like that struggle.

The last Episode started and i don’t know what i think about the Story… an endless struggle. The Characters are really good. Lt Lang is quiete a nice character and the Doctor is refresshing. The End could have be more dramatic… i didn’t feel much of this at the sad points… the atmosphere didn’t match what feelings you should have. I hope you understand what i want to say.

But as the Doctor said ‘I am the Doctor, if you like it or not’.

 

So i want to know what your favorite Story of the sixth Doctor is.
