Torchwood: The Conspiracy

Hey Guys,
today the first adventure of the big finish Torchwood story ‘The Conspiracy’ arrived and ineeded to write about it right now. Because nothing is more lovely than that. Oh yeah it is, because they had anounced that Ianto will be back. Everything is perfect. So lets actually talk about what the first adventure holds for us.

See again

First of all the first adventure is just with Captain Jack Harkness. We don’t have anyone else the team. But it plays when there still was a team. He talked to Gwen on one point. I am not sure when it plays. Torchwood seems to still exist and Gwen is part of it. So technically it had to play before Children of Earth. Which would mean Ianto is still alive. But other than that i don’t know. I am listening again right now to find a date.

Back to old times

It started like we all know Torchwood ever start. So you are from the line totally back into Torchwood mode. They way the adventure is built is a little special. I don’t like the way. Jack is talking to us. He is telling as happend and there are just scene played by them. We have Jack talking than a scene and than talking again. Than we also a youtube blog between the interview Jack is holding. It’s not a real flow. But that is just my liking. And to be honest it give alot worst than listening to Jaohn Barrowman.

The Commitee

I don’t want to talk to much about the story. Because you all should be buy it and hear it for yourself. But we have talk about it a little bit. So it goes about a guy named George Wilson. He talks about an alien invasion form the inner circle. There is theis group -the commitee – that will destroy human race and take the earth. There are not coming and attacking with spaceships. They are doing it buy getting their man into all positions like in the goverment and so on. So it will be a big story fight them. Which could really interessting and worthy opponent. There is not much happing in the first adventure. It is just like a long prologue for a bigger story and you just got the important information.

I can’t wait to hear the next adventure. The next adventure will be out in october.

Torchwood: House of the dead

So this is a really horrible story. I love her. That is a good story but it is just to torture us. Ianto is by a seasson and tries to stop him, also Jack is there. Gwen is on the way to them. There is a medium that can let them see person their want to see. But a very bad thing reach out to come back to life and that what Jack want to stop.

Gwen thinks that something is wrong with Jack and Ianto thinks he is a little spuck. For me Jack is just like Jack. Ianto get visited by his father. The father is telling him that he waited for his call. Also she says that he should stop Jack and that everyone will be alive – Owen, Toshiko and so on. We see more inside in Ianto Jones. This is a really amazing thing.

Also it says that they can’t trust Jack and Gwen is saying that is right and Ianto have to stop it. She is totally talk Ianto into believing that Jack is mad. But Jack says that he should trust him.

So here it will became spoilers. There is a twist in the Story.

Jack tells him that he couldn’t talk to Gwen because his headset is not on and he totally trust Jack from this moment. Jack wants to close the rift forever but before they can do it. But the father of Ianto give him a chance. He tells him that they just can move away, that he can take Ianto and leave. Because can he really let Ianto die again? So he needs to tell Ianto that he is dead and it is really emotional. Because Ianto is breaking down and crying and Jack can’t just bear to look at him. Ianto is seeing through Jack. Jack wanted to close the rift but Ianto know that this is not the truth. He knows this is about Jack. This is about Jack. Because Jack can’t let Ianto go. He can’t live with the thought that the world is empty. He wants to do suicide so he never came back. But Ianto is so much more. Ianto tells him that they take the chance. But Ianto is just using this to get Jack to live. He is sacrefice himself and Jack needs to say these words. I love you… and it never break my heart like that. This Story is telling us to much about the characters. About Jack and about Ianto. If you want to cry or have a broken heart just listen to it.

Torchwood: Submission

This Story is like the other, i heart it some times but i don’t remember anything of it. Torchwood is hearing a cry under the water. The translate it and it is a call for help. Ianto Jones is calling a old friend from Torchwood 1 and they are going under water.

They found a man under the water, which move’s there. Without a suit and everything. Gwen goes out to talk with him and find out that they need a body.

The friend Ianto called was in love with him. There is a talk about Jack. Ianto is talking about Jack will let him go. She is telling him that is not person someone can easy let go and she is right. Jack can’t let go of Ianto.

The Alien is actually pretty intressting he wants to replace the memories of leaving his maide alone. He is speaking about a few things about when they know what Jack did, nobody will love him. Also about maybe Jack is crying more about Gwen then Ianto.

So it is a nice story.

Torchwood: The Devil and Miss Carew

Hey Guys,

i heart it before but i am not remembering anything from it. So it is now like a totally new story. This story is with Rhys. Rhys uncle died and they go there. There is something that overs people, which are dying a deal.

They are blackouts and everything seems to have to do with a Miss Carew, which seemed like she did that deal, wich Rhys uncle refused. It shows us a side of the old we don’t want to talk about. Miss Carew is an independant woman, but her illness and age make her a prisoner in her body. She needed 24 hours care and it was a horror for her.

The characters are really in character. I love the banter between Jack and Ianto. One of the best thing in the Story is Rhys noise when he tried to work on the computer.

So i totally knew why didn’t remember it. It is a nice story, nothing really deep, nothing really interessting, you can listen to it and that is okay and nothing more. That is my opinion.

Torchwood: The Dead Line

Hi guys,

know we are on the last adventure of the first Box. Together with ‘The Golden Age‘ it is totally me favorite in this Box. There is one track with a monologe of ianto and when the shuffel of my mp3-player is playing it, i always listing to it.

It starts with a phone call of Ianto to woman to tell her that Jack is dying. So we start with this information. Jack didn’t have a big role in this story, because most of the time he is lying in the hospital. People become a phone call and than falls in a kind of coma. The Story is really good and also Rhys is playing a role. That is really good. I love Rhys. He is such a good person. Also i love hoe i things.

Gwen is calling Rhys to tell to don’t answer the phone and he is like really you call me to tell me not to call someone. This is the fun we need in this story. Ianto is staying at Jacks hospital bed. The monologe of Ianto is like i said on of my favorite parts in this radio play. It is a really good summery to their relationship. It shows us everything. Ianto is not a big talker. He can just say what he feel. All what he says has the meaning ‘i love you’ but the words never leave his lips. Also that he talks so much about his fears and his feelings about Jack is because he thinks that he can’t hear it. Their relationship has a lot of problematics. Ianto will grow old and Jack not and they are aware of this. Ianto is knowing Jack. He knows some day Jack will go and he is right. This monologe is so important.

Also Ianto is the one in the end that finds the solution to their problem. Ianto is probably the best.

Torchwood: Golden Age

Welcome back,

i love the third radio play of Torchwood. ‘Golden Age’ is a story about Torchwood India. Jack shut it down 80 years ago. But he and his team find it full active with the personal from 80 years ago, which didn’t age a year. Of course Jack thinks there is something not right. Ianto and Gwen are searching for the deadly power field, they witnesed and found Torchwood and Jack is talking to his old flame.

It is a story about changes, about don’t leting go of the past. Some people think that the can make everything right, that somethings are worth to make sacrifces for. It shows how they find a way to justify their action to themself.

Jack has a different understanding than them. He says that he would made it different know, but he don’t want to go back and change it. He don’t want to sacrifce all this people. But he don’t want to see any harm to Ianto and Gwen. When he get that they are in deadly danger, he decided to do everything to save them even if it means to die with them. Okay, we must say that dying is for Jack different, but i think it say totally much about him.

I can just say listen to it! It is totally worth it.

Torchwood: Asylum

Good evening everyone,

let’s talk about the second audio play of Torchwood. It is about a girl. She is from the future and don’t remember what happend probably. You find out that she is an alien and Torchwood send her back. For me it is not sure if really Jack have something to do with it. But i know that many people have that theory that Jack himself send her back. The radio play is really well done. I love the sound and the effects. The voice of the girl did a really amazing job. But for my this just was a kind of prologe for the really story that never comes. That is a little sad.

Gwen is in the mainrole here what is for me also not a perfect thing, but also Andy was a bigger role and have a opportunity to shine. I like him and he shows us how people react. He goes from a little girl needs help, to she is dangerous and everything is her fault and then to the understanding that she is a little girl even if she is an alien. What i think is that this understanding is coming to suddenly. I mean it is Andy and of course Andy will understand it and help the girl, but after that outburst i just needed a little more to say yeah of course he understands now. But this is the only thing i really critisce here. It is a good prologe.

The next radio play is one of my favorites. We read us. Bye

Torchwood ‘Lost Souls’

Hey,

so i started to hear audio plays because of Torchwood. To be excat because of the season 3 ‘Children of Earth’. After the end i needed more Ianto, so much more Ianto. It is also the reason i started to look Doctor Who. Just because of Ianto. You are totally right Ianto is my favorite character.

So the sad thing is that the radio plays started after the season 2. That means Tosh and Owen are already dead. So we have just Ianto, Jack and Gwen. ‘Lost Souls’ is the first radio play and has a special guest Martha Jones. It is really good to meet her again. She asked Torchwood for help, because at this instution vanished people.

Martha used the time with them to talk about Tosh and Owen. Also Lisa get mentioned. So yeah it is a story about the lost ones, about death… So the story is a nice one but there are totally better ones.

Bye
