Hey Guys,

welcome to the 101st adventure of the Big Finish Main Range – Absolution. It takes place on the planet Utebbadon-Tarria with the eighth Doctor, C’rizz and Charley. This story brings the storyline around C’rizz to an end. It is not my favorite story but it focus on C’rizz and his developement. Which is a good thing.

The Hell breaks loose

Charley opens the Medallion of C’rizz and hell breaks loose. The TARDIS has problems and the Doctor doesn’t seems to get it back under control. It happens what had to happen. C’rizz get seperate from the other two.
Charley and the Doctor lands inside a barrier and C’rizz on the outside. So we have two sides. The one inside the barrier that have the barrier to protect themself from the outsider. Than we have the outsider who wants to get inside the barrier.

Dark

The atmosphere of the whole story is dark and cold. There is nothing fun or light in this story. It is just really dark. It is about death, religion, believes, fears… and of course manipulation. The story shows us that there is not always a happy end. That there is not always something you can do to make it better. The story ends and left you to deal with all that grief on your own. There is no light offered at the end of the tunnel.

With all that grief

It is great story. There are no excuses, no step backs, no rewriting history offered. We get just the dark reality of life.  I felt at the end like Charley. I get the Doctor. We all know how he deals grief. He just doesn’t. But after this I still felt like her. All that makes it a great story. I also love C’rizz developement in this story. I love him so much. The story itself is not mine but everything around and atmosphere is just great.

Hey Guys,
welcome to the 75th adventure of the Big Finish Main Range – Scaredy Cat. The story puts the eighth Doctor, Charley and C’rizz on Endarra around the year 4.000.000. I am not sure were I got this information from – I believe recall that it was on the extras of Absolution. But this is one of the adventures that should have taken place in the Divergent Universe but got changed and now play in our universe.

SCaredy Cat, Scaredy Cat

What is going on here? That is the big question. The Doctor and C’rizz see a young girl and follow her to kind of shrine. This shrine as the girl they saw lying on dead and the app like natives are not happy that they are close to her. So the two of them traveling back in time to find out what happened there.
Charley is on the other hand on the facility that is making experiments on the natives to find the part of the brain that is responsible for being evil.

interesting set up

I like the setting. It has a lot of potential. I like themes like are people born evil or not and it would be a great story about this. But it is kinda gets more in the background the longer the story goes. Then we another interesting theme. The problem with getting involved with the events, with changing time. The interesting part is that C’rizz don’t really understand time and this means he doesn’t understand what the Doctor wants to protect. Which has a lot of potential but it also just got shortly addressed.

Great Team

There is lot I like about the adventure. I like Charley on her own. She is always the most sympathetic on her own. Also to see C’rizz and the Doctor team up is great. C’rizz who tries to understand the Doctor and this believe he has in the Doctor. You could do so much with this. But the story just kinda stays light-minded.
