DW: The War Machines – rewatch

Hey Guys,

welcome the last adventure of the 3rd Season of Doctor Who ‘The War Machines’. Steven already left the TARDIS so the Doctor is traveling with Dodo. Dodo seems even through all she been through was capable of saving her joyful self. But the Doctor is not traveling long like this. We get introduced to Polly and Ben. I really love these two.
It takes place in July 1966 in London.

WOTAN

WOTAN is a computer who know everything even what TARDIS means and can think on his own. Something we got a lot of movies and series about. The machine deciding to take over the world from the humans. WOTAN get his helpers by hypnosis and let the human work for their own destruction. Also the computer seems to know about the Intelligence of the Doctor.

Ben and Polly

I really loved them from the first moment. She has kind soul. She cares about people and feels responsible from them. But she is also a very happy person. Polly likes fun and humor. Friendship means a lot to her. Even when she does know Ben for like two days, she cares and would not betray him. Ben is a little more… sullen? He is responsible and realize very fast when a situation turns dangerous. But he also tries to help and don’t let anyone behind.

A good end

This adventure changes a lot. We not just get new companions. The Doctor is taking sides and got involved on his own will. When we started Doctor Who the Doctor didn’t get involved. He just get himself into problems and tries to get out alive. Th Doctor don’t save people, he didn’t care about them. His travels with Barbara and Ian changed him.
Now we have a Doctor that actually try to save people and get’s involved in things. So this is a great way to end the 3rd Season because the 4th season with the 2nd Doctor. He will always get involved.

DW: The City of Spires

Hey Guys,

welcome to the 133rd Big Finish Main Range Adventure ‘The City of Spires’ with the sixth Doctor and Jamie McCrimmon. What can be better than another Doctor meeting one of the best companions ever. I really love Jamie. Jamie is like the Doctors best friend. The dates in this story are really complicated and I can’t say so much about the time with telling to much. What I can say is that Doctor things that Jamie looks like it was twenty or thrity years ago. It is taking place in Scottland.

The most alive person he met

Jamie and the Doctor parted in ‘The War Games‘. The Time Lords made Jamie forget everything about the Doctor except the first time they met. For Jamie it is like he never choose to travel with the Doctor. I still think that his and Zoe (and Donna) have one of the saddest endings. But all that is not part of this article. The Doctor is meeting Jamie again. What puts the Doctor a little of is that Jamie don’t remember him or better the other him. There are no memories of Polly or Ben. Jamie is a little different. The Doctor says that Jamie was one of the most alive persons he met. But now Jamie don’t have much hope and even when he still fights he thinks that they are already dead.

Nothing made sense

All the information given doesn’t make much sense. The Doctor realizes which figths this are but this doesn’t work with the time he things had gone by since he and Jamie had to part ways. Jamie not remembering him is another thing. But since when is there a Overlord and why are there oil-pumping maschines. For people like me that know almost nothing about Scotlands history you got the big mistakes like I already mentioned but there are a few names that appear and doesn’t seem to fit. I really love how this story plays out. It is like the travels with Klein or the Mila storyline. It is a three parter. So we don’t find all the answer and let us want to know how this will all play out.

The Omega Factor: Drawn to the Dark

Hey Guys,

welcome the last adventure of the 3rd Box Set ‘Drawn to the Dark’. I am really sad that the series end here. I informed myself that there is still one new adventure it is an audio book. As soon as I have new money I will get it. This is a really good last story.

Black Outs

Anne get asked for help. Grace has black outs. She doesn’t remember anything but comes back dirty and with strange bottles. It seems that something is buried and Grace is trying to find it. Adam has a bad feeling about it. Something is down there and it isn’t anything good. It seems that this something wants to break out.
This time Adam has to use his abilities different from before and even Morag has to use different approaches.

Doyle

Finally Adam and Anne realize that Doyle is acting weird or weird than he had in the second Box Set. I really wished we had seen how Doyle had handled all that but Vanessa has her own plans. She also seems to know what is buried down there and she wants to use it for herself.
Maybe this is the thing about Omega, that everyone actually just wants the most power for his own. It doesn’t feel like the group is holding together. It is more like everyone working for himself.

The Darkness

This time our friends are up against the Darkness. It really feels like the great showdown. A few mysterious are coming to light. It is not an end. It gives us so much more questions and possibilities. There is so much more ahead. I still hope that Big Finish will at some point bring it back. There are so much more stories left to tell. So many things happened at the end and I want to see how they handle the consequences of this adventure. But it is also end you can live with…and sadly has to.
