The Walking Dead: Season 1

Hey Guys,

after a read a good Glenn/Daryl Fanfic i actually had to rewatch The Walking Dead.There are so many people i just forgot… oh my god who are all that persons? It is really fun to see were they started. For all you hasn’t watched the others season yet – this can have spoilers for every season. Because they are all so different now and i don’t think i can just see season one. Because in my head everytime Glenn is so sweet and cute i think about the Glenn in season 6 and the stuff he is doing. So yeah totally spoilers for the other seasons.

Mostly i think i will concentrated on my two favorite person and number three in the circle. Okay no mystery talk. Maybe some of you already figured my two favorite persons. Glenn Rhee and Daryl Dixon. The funny thing is that i am not a big fan of Rick but i love him interact with Glenn and Daryl. For me this three are the main-family and i really love that family. But were do we start…

Those rules don’t aply anymore

Like Rick we got throw in a changed world. There are walking deads in the street. Towns are empty and silent. The world ends. Rick actually is form the beginning a survivor. He is inventiv and never gave up. Always searching for a way to get out.
Rick is searching for his wife and son, who got with Shane – his best friend – to Atlanta. Shane is the man in charge of a group of people. Daryl and Glenn are part of that group.
I would never put Shane in charge but on the other hand when you see the other maybe i would. But Shane is a massive asshole and i know i hated him when the got to the CDC and at the farm, but i forgot that he even before Rick got back was a big asshole.
The way he talks to Lori. I really want to struggle him. How can she let him talk to her like that? I am not a big fan of her either but hey… no reason to be such an asshole.

Dixon brothers

Merle and Daryl Dixon are the black sheeps in group. Merle is a very dangerous man. He is full of hate against everything. The way he treats women says enough about him. But he is also a racist and brings the whole group in danger. What i not just get is why he actually stayed with the group because a big part of the group are from different origin. Daryl in the first moments we see him like his brother…but this is totally wrong. Yes he lose his temper with the group and threaten them because them let his brother on a rooftop in the city to die. No matter what asshole Merle is, he is Daryls brother and the onyl family he has left. He is not angry with T-Dog because he is black. He is angry because he let the key fall.
He tries to protect Glenn and when the camp got atacked he fought with them and not once think about leaving the group to search again for his brother.
He is coming with them, he is fighting with them. Daryl Dixon is one of the best persons on this show. This group left his brother to die. But he forgave them. He fights with them, protects them, saves T-Dog, who is responsible for it, without hesitation and goes search for Sophia and doesn’t want to give up and that is just what happend in the first season – in 6 Episodes.
Daryl is amazing and will always be my favorite person.

Surviving

I already watched season 6. The group around Rick is so close and knows each other so well. They know what they have to do to survive. Nobody who tried to confront and attack the group got out it alive. They are fighters and do everything to protect their own.
In season one is nothing of that their. They don’t stand behind Shanes decission and not behind Ricks – not even his wife. They live together and that is all. They group is not working pretty good together. THey are cute and soo naive. What they have to do to survior is always a fight to overcome themself. It is not surprising they have to learn how the new world fuctioned. But it is so sweet to see them like that and than sees them like they are now.

Watching or not

Obviously i thought the serie is worth watching when i already watched the other season. But the season one is good. When i first heart about the serie i didn’t want to watch it. I am not a big fan of the Zombie- Genre and doesn’t know how the want to make a serie about it. But it is amazing. Yes some scenes are disgusting but it is not as disgusting as it could be. In season one it is more about the people than about the zombies and that makes it so good. The zombies are just their but it is a story about this group and their new life.

Doctor Who: S10x01/02

Hey Guys,

Doctor Who is back on again. I wasn’t really excited about this season. Truth be told i thought about not watching this season and just start when Chris Chibnall is taking over. Season 9 of Doctor Who was soooo bad and the two christmas special were soo boring that i had very low expections.

So why watching this season when i am so disapointed in Doctor Who for seasons?

Because i am one of the watchers that don’t think you can start with any season. I am a watcher that think that Everything the Ninth Doctor was he was because of the War Doctor. Everything the Tenth Doctor was get backs to what the ninth Doctor was going through and so and so. I am not a fan of Matt’s Doctor but he was the logic developement from the Tenth Doctor.
I think that everything that makes the Doctor the Doctor is found in the season before. So if i just don’t watch a season i miss a part of who the new Doctor will be and i just can’t do this. I watched every freaking Doctor and i didn’t love all of them but i always loved the show and Moffats nearly ruined it for me. I know there are people out there who loves what Moffats did to Doctor Who and that is there right. Also i don’t think that he is a bad writer for single episodes i just don’t think he can write an overall story i like. Also he has a different way to see the Doctor than me.
For me the Doctor never was a hero… for me he will always be the grumpy old man, who run away with his granddaugther and learnt from two amazing teacher that you should help people. He is deep down a good person. He believes in the good but he also knows how the world function. He knows that sometimes there need to be sacrefices. He was a person who never looked back on the sacrefices he made to save himself and his companions or he couldn’t stop looking back.
Sometimes he is a lonely god… but never a hero – or at least not in the way most people use it.
There was always a time something doesn’t sit right with me. I disliked the third Doctor but the way he was with his family with UNIT made him grown on me even when i disliked his character. I was so annoyed by the fourth Doctor. The way the epiosdes with the sixth Doctor was made was just horrible and boring to watch.

I never stopped watching i don’t stop now and i got surprised

Like i said i had so low expections. But episode were not bad. I was surprised in a good way. There is a few stuff i don’t get or don’t remember. That promise thing. Who did he promise to stay on earth – i tried to remember if he promised Clara or Me – but after that he already traveled with River and with Nedal. Soo i just feel like i forgot something.
Apart from that the first episode was really not bad. Losing Clara and River had changed him and i like the way he tries to make Bill – the new companion – stay save. Of course it never is going to work. Both stories function pretty good and the best thing about them is there is no big bad thing. It is just different.

A new student

I liked Bill from the start. She is totally sympatic and speaks her mind. Sometimes there are silly questions and she get stuck on the smallest things but that is what i love about her. We are in a colony away from earth with emoji robots with out any sign about life and she hangs on the fact he has two hearts. So yeah i really like her. Everything i heart about her before was that she was a lesbian – point taken i didn’t informed myself about anything about the season. The first lesbian in the TARDIS as a companion. My first thought was that why the first one? Doesn’t nobody remember Tegan and Nyssa?! But yeah they never said that they were together. They just always seemed like it.
My second thought was who cares. Don’t get me wrong this isn’t about the fact that she is a lesbian. This is about the fact that it was said like it was a characteristic. With Clara there were words like smart, adventures… and with Bill lesbian? If she likes man, woman or both has nothing to do with her character and that is what didn’t sit right with me – like i said i didn’t informed myself so maybe there were really characteritcs know.
But Bill is amazing and her character is great.

The episodes

The story of ‘the pilot’ was good. I liked it. What i didn’t liked was the way the Daleks were used. It was just unnessassary and doesn’t make them scary again. Also i am happy that they are not more in the episode because i am afraid what Moffats will do to them next. He ruint my favorite enimies and make them a laugh number. He rewrite the story to make Davros bad… and totally changed the way the Daleks were made… but this is another theme.
Beside the Daleks the story were great.
The story of ‘Smile’ was good too. I hate the idea of the emoji-robots. I am really annoyed by the emojis in general. But the idea is great and like the way it is told. It has no surprising turns but it is sad and human. The robots reacted more human than it is said in the story. Feelings are always very difficult and the way it is dealt with in this episode is good. It will never be one of my favorite but i would watch the episode again and have fun doing it.

In the end…

Expanse: Season 1

Hey Guys,

since i am into Sciene Fiction and i can’t get enough of it i thought why not try ‘Expanse’ Netflix gave it a really high rating for me and what can go wrong with a show in space. It has space ships and space. So what could totally go wrong?

The answer is easy – Everything.

Who pulls the strings

Expanse takes place in a setting that is close to war. There are earth and there is Mars and the worker colonies and everyone is against everyone. Mars and earth are not on good terms and the worker colonies – the belt – has really bad life standards are about to start a big revolution. The times are hard and the lines really clear. Just who is actually the bad guy it is not. In expanse we got a big conspiracy and we don’t really get the whole story in the end of season one. What is not totally a bad thing and not really a surprise since i know that there will be a season two.

The Belt

Expanse is built up with different stories and people. We got the people on the belt. Here the focus is on a cop that always is in confrontation course. He doesn’t have a high stand with his colliges. He got the case of a missing girl or woman. She ran form home and tried to change the world.
For me this of the borings part of the whole serie. The character is unsympatic and so obsessed with that missing woman and his way to handle things are… i don’t know i really dislike it. I liked his partner but he doesn’t have a big role, because this main character just don’t do team work.

Earth

Than we have this woman on earth. She is a high position on earth – UN Assistant Undersecretary of Executive Administration. She tries to find out what is behind the attack on an space ship by a war ship that has mars all written over it. We see her as a nice person with her grandson but when she is working she can’t lose and is ready to do everything to get what she wants. Everything.
In this part they talk alot. It is about the conspiracy and what all this stuff means for the peace in the universe. It is also mostly boring.

Surviors of the Canteburry

Here comes the only half way interessting part of the show. The Canteburry is the ship that get attack and destroyed by the war ship. A little crew of five people survive because they answered a call for help. They have to look how all the people they work and maybe love or like dies. These people doesn’t get along so good. But the characters here are kinda nice. We have the typicall good one – Jim – who always want to do the right thing. I really like him. Than we have the woman – Naomi – who is the engineer and got herself the comando.
With her is Amos which is the most interessting character on the show. He is totally loyal to Naomi and does everything she says. She seems to be a little afraid of him at times. Amos is a also a person that is always on confrontation curse. He just shoots people when he thing it is nessassary. He doesn’t make a big thing about this stuff. The world is like it is.
Than we have the pilot Alex which is okay but not so much more and the doctor of the team.

This group has a really interessting dynamic and i like them. They are involved in what is going on and try to find out why they actually were attack.

Watching or not

For me the answer is quite simple. Don’t watch… the serie is boring and the story is just not so interessting. The conspiracy behind it doesn’t actually make me want more. The only thing i cared in the serie was the survival of the Survivors of the Canteburry Crew.
Amos is a really nice and interessting character and would be the only reason to even thing about looking into the second season. But i am totally not watchin season two.
Maybe if i really have nothing else to watch… but before that. The Expanse is for me nothing more than a really boring story were i had really strong problems to stay awake.
