DW: A Thousand Tiny Wings

Hey Guys,

welcome to the 130th Big Finish Main Range Adventure ‘A Thousand Tiny Wings’ with the 7th Doctor. He is on his own. The story takes place in Kenia 1952. 5 women are hiding in an old farmhouse from the Mau Mau Uprising. One of this women is someone the Doctor knows from a past adventure with Ace. In ‘Colditz’ he had met Doctor Klein and here she is again in the life of the Doctor.

Doctor Klein

I haven’t listen to ‘Colditz’ yet. She comes from an alternative timeline and worked for the Nazis. From her view the Doctor destroyed the right timeline and wants to change it back. She has quite interesting view of the world. The Dynamic between the Doctor and Klein is great. She is not one of the people who look up to the Doctor or believe that he is a good man. No she sees him as manipulating and arrogant. She not that wrong. That is actually why I love the 7th Doctor. He is really good in manipulating people.
She is really intelligent and she cares about people. There are two world views crashing and it totally is the reason the story works so well.

Injured alien

The five women find an injured alien and bring him into the farmhouse. It is great who these women work with each other and are so different in her ways of seeing the world and the way the deal with it. Denise is one of my favorite. She saves the alien and gives him a name. She believes that just because everyone is acting crazy you still act like an english person. So one moment she holds a reveal in the face of the Doctor and the next she is inviting him for tea.

The mysterious death

Next to the Mau Mau uprising and the alien the Doctor and the five women have to deal with mysterious death. The victim is covered with tiny little stretch. It is amazing who all the part of the story work so well together. The characters work so well together with all there quarrel and different views. Also it is interesting to see the change in the people. I am really excited to listen to the other stories with the Doctor and Klein.

The Omega Factor: Under Glass

Hey Guys,

welcome to the first adventure of the third Box-Set ‘Under Glass’. I had listened to the first 15 minutes on the Big Finish Podcast when they promoted the Box Set. I listened to it and thought it sounds very interesting. That is when started asking people if they know it and if it is good. I remember like yesterday how Cool-Stuffandthings told me that it is great and that I should listen to the first episode which is for free on Big Finish and I did. So the start of this story is the start of my big love for this series. Cool-Stuffandthings was right. Thanks for that.

What is trapped will never stay trapped

But let’s talk about this episode. It is about a picture that brings apparently the owner luck and maybe kills the owner at some point. Morag is trying to tell Adam that something is not right. But like always she talks in riddles. We all know that Adam is not good with riddles. The story is really interesting. It is inspired by ‘The Bottle Imp’. There are a lot of stories out there about this theme and that is ‘The Omega Factor’ take on it.

All kinds of ways to get hurt

We start this Box Set with Adam finally set in his life. He knows who the work with Anne works and he got a girl friend. His power doesn’t freak him out anymore. It is like normality for him. It is lovely to see Adam and Anne working together. The scene where Adam is telling Anne about his girlfriend is so sweet and it is a little like getting ready to introduce your girlfriend to his mother.

Superhero

Adams girlfriend Claire has a really interesting journey and character developement. She is a strong woman but has this view of Adam. She sees him a little as superhero and she see that he has problems but she doesn’t realize what it means. When she got all that luck she changed and the way she looks at Adam changes too. It is great and interesting story Claire lives through.

DW: Fugitive

Hey Guys,

welcome to the IDW DW Vol 1 chapter ‘Fugitive’ with the tenth Doctor. He travels alone that means it is in his life between ‘Planet of the death‘ and ‘Waters of Mars‘. It is also following directly the end of ‘Silver Scream‘. Ahistory place the story around the year 2545.

Old enemies

The theme of the story is one that we have so often in tenth Doctor era. The power of the Time Lord, the consequences of his intervention. We meet old enemies of the Doctor. Krillitans, Draconions, Sotarans, Ogrons and Judoon. That is not enough the Shadow proclamation is bringing the Doctor before the court for his interventions. He is found guilty but someone is out to kill him before he lands in prison.

New friends

The Doctor finds himself on the run with a few races he never thought of fighting together. We see again that the Doctor has as any other person his prejudices. I love this story because the Doctor has to look at the consequence his intervention had on the people. Races that are warriors wanting peace. He finds unlikely friends. It is fun to watch these four race work together and learning at least the other – you can never be sure that the Doctor learnt his lesson.

Through all the adventures

These story drops names and stories everywhere. I smiled when the tenth Doctor talks about Charley Pollard but that was not the only thing that we have hints of. Do you know the feeling when you watch the first seasons of the New Doctor Who and the hint at every turn on the Classic Series? That is exactly what they do here. You have hints at stories like ‘Battlefield‘, ‘Paper Cuts‘ or the hint of the War Doctor. It is so much fun to search of all the hints of old or new stories of the Doctor.

DW: The Chase – rewatch

Hey Guys,

welcome to ‘The Chase’ the last adventure of Doctor Who season two with Ian and Barbara. Plays at a lot of place and times. In 2170 the Daleks create the first time maschine and used it follow the Doctor through time and space. The alien Mila we meet in ‘Patient Zero‘ claims that she got on board the TARDIS in this adventure.

Everyday life

What I love about the early Doctor Who is that you see so much of the life in the TARDIS. We see Ian read books, Barbara making dresses, Vicki being bored. It so much have just to see them have a normal life. When the found a planet with a lot of sand and two suns. Barbara and the Doctor just decided to lay in the sun when Vicki and Ian are of exploring. This is what I love so much. Yes there are adventures but there is also just the normal life going on.

Doctor against the Daleks

The story is practical is about the Doctor and his companions running from the Daleks and the Daleks chasing after them. The land in times like 1872 on the Mary Celeste, 1966 on the Empire State Building and 1996 festival of Ghana.
Festival of Ghana is actually the fun part. It was a theme park and one attraction was the Haunted House. But they don’t know that they are at the theme park. They all got really frightened.

Show Down

The showdown is in the year 3565 on the planet Mechanus. The Doctor and his companions are choosing this as a place to finally fight against the Daleks. It also featured Steven as a new companion.
Sadly this means that we have to say goodbye to Ian and Barbara. I loved them so much and the story is good and fun. A good goodbye to my little family.

DW: Mission of the Viyrans

Hey Guys,

welcome to the 102b Big Finish Main Range Adventure ‘Mission of the Viyrans’. It is the second story on the ‘Mind’s Eye’. This story is about Peri and the Viyrans. The fifths Doctor has a small role. Ahistory places the story around 2684 on the planet Grallista Social. It is a really short story but it still offers a lot. In the context with the other stories.

Meeting the Viyrans

This is actually the first adventure with the Viyrans. We get here the most information about the Viyrans. We get a bit of their history and what they do. I really like the idea of the Viyrans. They are a good enemy without really being an enemy. They want to help but have a really single-minded way to see the world. I really like to find out more about them.

This story gets concluded with the ‘Patient Zero‘. ‘Mission of the Viyrans’ is playing after the accident in ‘Patient Zero‘. I liked the story before. It is a short story and it focused on one Companion. The idea and the solution is great. But when you put it into context with the other stories. This little story get’s even better and more important.

I kinda like it that this story plays after ‘Patient Zero‘ and ‘The Bride of Peladon’ even when both are released later. So you have to revisited the stories and put them in the right order. You have to think when it happened, how every thing slides into the right place. The stories aren’t told in a line but a bit Timey-Wimey stuff.

So yeah go and listen to this story. It is a short great story. You don’t need any knowledge about the stories before with Peri. Erimem get’s mentioned but it is not important to know her or her story to understand what is going on in this story.

The Omega Factor: Awakening

Hey Guys,

welcome to the final story of The Omega Factor ‘The Awakening’. This story is where every Episode of this series come together and paint as the bigger picture and what is behind everything. Morag as obviously a big role again and her connection to Adam.
It is not only getting serious but it also starts to get personal.

The most important thing

Adams family has an accident. But are in a critical condition and Adam is on his way to them. This brings Adam in a really bad position. It also makes it really interessting for us to see how he deals witht the situation when so much is at stack. Bringing Morag into the play what make things hard for him. Because he has such a kind heart but with his daugther in danger he has really limited choices.

The mystery of Edward Milton

Anne is trying to figure out what happend in the last few month. She realized that something is wrong and puts the puzzle together. Not knowing that she used a false piece. The best about this is actually that Doyle has a bigger role. I really grow to love Doyle. So I really love to see him get some action. He is a none believer but even he can’t deny it. But I like the way he tries to deal with all this.

Everything starts fitting together

This story brings everything together. We have the story about Edward Milton, we have Morag and maybe we even get evidence that Tom was right and that there was a group active – The Omega. I really like it. It brings so much together and let so much open for the next season. I can’t wait to listen to the rest and see what they do with all the pieces that they put into place.

Top 10 – Fantasy

Hey Guys,

here comes the next Top 10 with the Fantasy. Good fantasy is even harder to find than Science Fiction. It is always great to find an amazing Fantasy World.

1) Believe
This is my favorite series. I really hate it that you can’t buy it on DVD. It is really hard to find to watch. It only has one season and it ended before it really started. But you can live with the ending. It is a really sweet story about a young girl with powers and a lot of people who want to use her and her powers. A story about a man who needs to find himself. I really love the series and will rewatch it over and over again.
More about the series can you find here.

2) Teen Wolf
Yes! This is differently the second place. The name is soooo bad. But the series is so good. It grows with every season and the characters are so great. Yes. I hate a lot of it. I mean I started to like Scott and Alison in the third season. The story about them was soo bad. Scott was such an idiot. I mean the way he treats Derek is impossible. But I love the other characters. They are all so strong on their own way. The last season is also really bad… I don’t know what they thought by making it. But most are amazing.
More about the series can you find here.

3) Merlin
This is another way of interpretations the saga of Merlin. It is amazing. The chemistry between Merlin and Arthur is so great and also I love how they play with the exception everyone had. The way the characters grow to become their part in saga is sad. But I get the feeling that I have a problem with last seasons. Because I am not a big fan of the last season. The story is great but the way the knights treat Merlin in the last season is not great.

4) Hunter x Hunter
How can you not love Gon? The little boy who wants to be everyone’s friend and I mean everyone’s. Human, animal or demon… he doesn’t care who you are. He wants to be friends. But if go against any of his friends. He will fight till the end. The adventure he and his friends live by realizing there dreams is fun. It is so light and fun but on the same time so dark and cruel at times. But Gon always makes you smile.
More about the series can you find here.

5) Supernatural
Supernatural is a difficult series. I love the first 5 seasons. Dean Winchester is one of the greatest characters ever. He is my baby and I will at sometime watch all the bad season just to know where his story ends. In the later season are still great episodes and great characters but most of it is just not great… But the first five season amazing.
More about the series can you find here.

6) Being Human
Being Human is one of the series one of my closest friends made me watch it and I fall in love with it from the first series. It is a series about a ghost, a vampire and werwolf share flat and their life together. I really have to rewatch it.

7) Sense8
I find it hard to explain what Sense8 is about. 8 people are connected with each other. They jump in the bodies and someone is hunting them. I really like the series. The first season is a really long introduction. The christmas special started really bad… and gave me the feeling had missed a whole season but I will start watching the last season of it.
More about the series can you find here.

8) Hamatora
There are sweet characters and a good story. It is about people with powers. They try to help people and are a little like detectives. Behind the powers is a bigger story and the characters had gone through a lot. I wish there would be more stories about the characters and there relationships.
More about the serie can you find here.

9) Buffy
Buffy is cult. I loved so much and it is also the first serie my family watched as family. I have a lot of good family memories with this serie. We all loved it and nobody wanted to miss this. I really miss the times my and family met around the TV and watched a serie we all loved and talked about. All this is Buffy for me. It is also a good series. I loved the characters and it always fun to watch it again and see how my view changes every time I watch it.
