Torchwood – The Dying Room

Hey Guys,

here we are with the final of the third season of Big Finish Torchwood – The Dying Room. I must say that this story is the weakest, but still amazing. The story is not bad and i like the idea of telling the story.

Biggest and only problem

The problem I have with this story are the characters. We have 4 persons in this story. The two main characters. The first one is an SS-Offizier and the other is a man who get questioned by the SS. The whole story is about this and the story that leads to this. In the story that leads to this we have two more characters. Gabriel the son of the man and a lady the man met. But none of the characters get me. I don’t developed any feelings or likings for a character. That is why the story lost for me. Because no matter how good the story is when the characters are not sympathic than it is no good.

Story flow

The story is told in two levels. The first one is the interrogation and the second one is what the man tells his Interrogator. The first time I listened to the story I was really tired and got a little confused but when you listen to it when you are awake than it is really easy to follow. Like all the other Torchwood stories this one as a surprising turn. There were actually a few things that were clear for me but other stuff I didn’t thought of.

Listen to The Dying Room or not

Definitely go listen to the story. Yes it couldn’t get me but I still think it is a really great story. Also it is Torchwood so there is no reason to actually not listen to it. I am really excited for the next season. The have a few really promising combinations like Ianto and Owen but my favorite will be Andi and Norton.

Torchwood – The Office that never was

Hey Guys,

welcome to the next adventure of Big Finish Torchwood – The Office that never was with Ianto Jones. An Adventure with Ianto Jones as a main character can’t be bad. I am still not sure about what to thing about it. The story play in the 2000s obviously. But i don’t know were it plays in the serie… i would say somewhere in the second season.

Hunting Ghost

Ianto investigate an abandoned building. A Building that don’t like Ianto. Which sounds really stupid, but it is kinda fun at first. Lights not going on for him or lifts don’t let him enter. He met a woman in this building who can’t even remember her name. They try to find out what actually is wrong in this building and later to just leave the building.
I got really fast clear that someone has a problem with Ianto and it seems that what ever happend, he don’t remember anything.

Listing or not

It is an Ianto Jones adventure so totally yes. The story is good. We slowly find out what actually happend in the past. Ianto Jones has a darker side and this story is a little playing with it. The darker Ianto. When I think about the story the Adam story comes to my mind. It has not much to do with each other but it still seems conacted. Sometimes i forget the dark side of Torchwood. They never had a perfect solutionen. There are so often sacrifices. This story remembers me of that dark side of Torchwood. A side we schould never forget.

Torchwood_cascade_CDRip_tor

Hey Guys,

I listened to this adventure of Big Finish Torchwood before but I got not around to write about it. Torchwood_cascade_CDRip_tor is a really different story. I actually can never decide if I love this story or hate it. This is another adventure with Toshiko Sato, who get a phone call of an old friend from Torchwood. It plays in the 2000s in London. It actually plays a few month before the final of season two.

It is really hard to listen to

What makes the story so special is also what makes it so annoying. The story is about a computer virus. So your CD is not broken. All that sound fluctuations and the scenes that are mixed in and all that other stuff is intentional. It makes it really, really hard to listen to. But it also created a total different atmosphere. Truth be told I hated that way of telling this story but with the end… it is just kind of perfect. I love Tosh so much and this hurts really.

Computer Virus on the lose

So like I said before the story is about a computer virus. This computer virus is targeting people who are downloading stuff illegal. Steven an old Torchwood worker who can’t stop looking out for this stuff. Find these people dying and calls Toshiko for help. Toshiko obviously goes and help him. The chemistry between Tosh and Steven is really good and it brings back all the old Tosh/Owen feelings. This story is like all the other stories and works on his own. But there are so many little stuff in it that makes it so amazing. We hear Yvonne and we hear stuff that happened or will happen.

Listen or not

Yes please go and listen to this amazing story. This story is an amazing annoying masterpiece. It is everything. The story is full of love and feelings. Feelings of Tosh and Tosh feelings. Tosh is amazing and I really love her and this story.
