DW: Zagreus

Hey Guys,

welcome the 50th adventure of the Big Finish Main Range – Zagreus. This story is set directly after the adventure Neverland, which means this adventure is with Charley and the eighth Doctor. It is an adventure to celebrate the 40th birthday of Doctor Who. It is 4 hours long and so lot longer than the other stories. Another special part is that all the companions that worked for Big Finish are playing in the story but most have a different part than we know.

Special Guest

It is lovely to have Romana II in the story again. After Neverland she thought the Doctor and Charley are dead. But she finds out that she was wrong. Leela brings her a message from Rassalon and they start to travel to the Dark Tower. It is the first time Leela and Romana meet and the start of great friendship. But I am really annoyed how they adresse Leela in the story – Savege. Even when I never was a great fan of Leela and the fourth Doctor but she is a great Companion. She is intellegent and lovely.

The Brig is back

Or is he. The Brig has a really big role in this story. But he is not really the Brig. The TARDIS – or a part of the TARDIS – takes the shape of the Brig to help Charley to find out what is going and how they can help the Doctor. They live through certain parts of history that have something to do with the Divergence.

Am I Zagreus

The Doctor is going crazy. The Anti-Time in his body forms the personality of the Zagreus. Zagreus and the Doctor are fighting for the upper hand and try to find out what is going on in the TARDIS. The story is quite confusing and you slowy unwrapping what is going on in this story. I think there is a lot going on in this story. It is about what the differents between love and friendship. It is about the pain about having the feeling to be left alone.

Listing or not

Zagreus is a good story that explains everything that was unclear about the overcasting story. The end set us up for new adventure in another Universe. It is lovely to hear all the familar voices and who they play with it. I like the theme friendship and what it means to the Doctor and the TARDIS. Because most part of the story are about these two. In the last part I am annoyed by Charley. I hate it when you can do something but you start judging others doing the same. But yeah go and listen to it.

DW: Master

Hey Guys,

welcome to the story about the Master – the greatest foe of the Doctor and the best friend ever had. They have this love/hate relationship is one of the best in the series. In the 49th adventure of Big Finish Main Range the Doctor is traveling alone.
This story takes place on Perfugium a colony of the humans ruled by an Empress. Ahistory placed in the year around 2950 during the Earth Empire period.

I am your master

I grow tired of the Doctor in the TV series. I loved the craziness of Simms. But for me is story ended with his death and is getting back to life wasn’t my favorite but still it ends the journey of the master for. But they always bring the master back. Why not the Rani or anyone else? That is why I normally stay away for stories with the Master.
I also know that Big Finish created amazing Master like in Dark Eyes.

The reason behind

Like the other three stories is about the reason behind the Master. It is about the question if he is capable of changing. Can the Doctor get is best friend back? The other stories were great and this one is as great as the others.
In this story the Doctor is telling a story about John Smith and his friends. John Smith is a good man and doesn’t remember who he was. He is searching for his past when everything goes to hell like always. The characters a really great and they are so good friends. But than when you look closer you see the imperfection.

Listing or not

Definitely go and listen to it. It is after all the Master. He is still a great foe, a great character. This story gives us background about the Doctor and Masters friendship. This is a great story about an amazing and interesting relationship. A story about what the Master wish more than anything and what the Doctor wish for.

Doctor Who: S11x01 – The Woman Who Fell To Earth

Hey Guys,
finally the new season of Doctor Who started. This time everything is new – new Companions, new Writer and new Doctor.
People who follow me might know that I wasn’t that happy with the Doctor being a woman. For many reason and one big reason was Missy. She was an amazing actor but not the Master and I hated that they call her Missy and not Master. That are just a few points.
But I love Jodie as the Doctor. She makes a great job and definitely feels from the start like the Doctor. Soo… how was the first episode?

Team? Fam?

The new characters are great. This time around we have three companions and I am really happy about it. I missed the crowdy TARDIS. They companions know each other. We have Ryan. He is a young man and really not happy with is life and job. He and Yasmin were going to school together. Yasim is working at the police and wants to help people. The last one is Graham the second husband of Ryans Gran.
Ryan and Graham doesn’t seem to have the best relationship.

The Hunt is starting

Okay. The story itself is not so great. Ryan touch symbols that appear in the air and then the alien comes to earth for the hunt. The story isn’t very original. I found it even a little bit boring.
But the chemistry between the characters made definitely up for the plot. The Doctor needs to arrive in is own body. We need to get to know the characters and that is what the episode is doing really good. You got a good feeling who the doctor is now and who the characters are.

Unpopular opinion – spoilers

I know that many people had a problem with a certain death in the end. She was a great character. You just had to love her. Her death was totally unnecessary for the story.
But I am really ‘happy’ about it. The first episode should give us a feeling for what is coming this season.
This death in the first episode made it very clear how different this season of Doctor Who will be. The Doctor tries his best and to save everyone but you can’t. People are going to die. You can’t save everyone not even when you are the Doctor. Every decision you made has consequences and there is no big red button to undo stuff, there are no second tries, there is no coming back from the death.
It is just life. It is hard and unfair and like really life death is really unnecessary but it still happens.

High Expectations

Even when the story itself wasn’t a masterpiece. Everything around it was amazing. An amazing Doctor who stops seeing himself as the savior. She is just a traveler. A crowdy TARDIS with really interesting characters and finally real life again.
And the best thing is for now it doesn’t seems like there is an overall storyline. Love to be back to single adventures that doesn’t mean we need to save the earth.
So yeah. I have totally wrong with my fears about a female Doctor. Jodie is definitely a great thirteen Doctor.

See ya at the next episode.

DW: Davros

Hey Guys,

welcome to the first apperance of Davros in the audio plays. It is the 48th adventure of the Big Finish Main Range with the sixth Doctor. He is traveling with Peri but she is for this adventure on the other side of the galaxy. Ahistory places it around 4600 after the Revelation of the Daleks.

A new man

The main story is really easy explained. Humans are idiots. Okay, let’s get a little bit in details. The CEO of of TransAllied, Inc. and his wife that is a historican that believes in the good of Davros are searching for Davros corpse and bringing him back to life. They want him to work for them. This would be so fun. Davros working for a human that wants money. You can say a lot about Davros but something as trival as more money was never anything he wanted.
So for us it is really fast clear that Davros is having different plans.

He found me a story

Willis a journalist that is trying to stop the CEO of TransAllied and calls the Doctor for help. That is actually why the Doctor is there to find out that they brought Davros back. He starts working at TransAllied and works together with Willis and Kim – another worker at TransAllied.
Both characters Willis and Kim are really great. I like them and I followed their story with great interessted.

The Past always follows you

Since Daleks are my favorite monster. Davros is part of it. I find that he is a very interessting character. He is obvisouly bad and crazy. But he wanted to save his people. He was scientist and searched for knowledge. A characters that is so obessed with strenght and driven by fear to be normal or not the best. Full of fear that he could be weak. We see more of this character also a few stuff about his past that is hunting him.

Listing or not

It is Davros and the sixth Doctor. So yeah go and listen to it. It is great and the characters are great too. There are scene that are just so amazing – like Davros and the Doctor ‘forced’ to work together. Now I am thinking again about listing to the story I, Davros.

DW: Omega

Hey Guys,

welcome to the return of Omega in the 47th adventure of Big Finish Main Range. Omega plays in The Sector of Forgotten Souls with no date given. Ahistory places the story into the vulgar end of time – I didn’t find anything about it on the other sites so I am not sure what a time this describes but it seems to have is origin in the story The One Doctor.

Doctor on his own

In this adventure the fifths Doctor is on his own on a holiday history ship. It is on his way through the story of the time lord Omega. So obviously this is the story about Omega. We find out the really story behind this man. He wants to go back in his own universe where he tried to escape from.
It is an interesting story about a man who didn’t wanted to be known. He wanted to give all time to the Time Lords. He became the bad guy in his own tragic story.

What is going on

Most of the time you just think what is going on. Who kills who in this story? What are the real plans? Or does he just want to go home? The first part I personally don’t find so interesting but the characters grown on me. Daland for example on of the actors of the cruise is really growing on me and the old ladies are going on my nerves. It really gets better.

Listing or not

Omega like I said before is at first not mine. But the story about Omega is really interesting. How time works? How time changed the way we see history. The second part of the story is amazing and I love it. I also fall in love with this idiot Daland and he really is an idiot. So go and listen to the story of a foolish and a very powerful time lord who did a terrible thing and the heroic time lord how discovers what he did.
