DW: Sirens of Time

Hey Guys,

welcome to the very first adventure of big finish – Sirens of time. It is not just the first adventure of the main range, it is the first episode they produced. This is the start of amazing stories. They start with three Doctors in one adventure. We have the fifth, sixth and seventh Doctor.

Always the time lords

They time lord see themself facing a enemy that is uncredible strong. It seems like they are totally powerless against this enemy. But they find out that the Doctor is involved and send warnings to him or are they are trying to kill him? Both is possible and believeble. The three Doctors faces all their own adventures.

Seventh Doctor

The seventh Doctor seems to be travling alone. The story of the Seventh Doctor is playing in the year 3562 on a not existing planet. The Doctor saves a girl – Elenya. Everything doesn’t seems quite logic at the beginning. On this planet is also living a man and woman. The woman needs to take care of the man. But she is not satisfied with this work and tries to make a deal. A deal were everyone will die.

Fifth Doctor

The fifth Doctor is traveling with Tegan and Turlough but they don’t have a big role. This adventure takes place in 1915 on a submarine. He gets closed of of his TARDIS and met a girl – Helen. The submarine got attackt and the a german submarine is saving them. It seems like someone is trying to take controll of the crew members and try to kill the Doctor who seems to thing the time lords are behind it.

Sixth Doctor

This story of the sixth Doctor is playing in the year 3562 on a spaceship. There is a conferance at that spaceship. His TARDIS get caught in an explosion and he strands on the spaceship. There he mets a girl which get him in the conferance room. A time distortion gets everyone in trouble.

Listen or not

The story is really not my thing. It all ends of course in a big story but the story are to short for my liking. But this is totally a listen to it story because the three Doctors are working together and that is the best. This three Doctors are not my favorites. I mean i love these three but my favorite Doctors are the tenth, first and second but these three together have just the best chemistry with each other. It is so much fun listen too them. This story also made very clear that the Doctor is the same in all incarnations but also shows us all the differents between them and they are very different. It is really lovely to listen to so well writen Doctors.

DW: 100

Hey Guys,

here comes the 100th adventure of the big finish main range with the name ‘100’. This adventure has four sperate episodes. With the sixth doctor and Evelyn Smythe. The stories might be short but really amazing itself.

100BC

I can’t say much about the stories. They are short and don’t want to spoil them to you. The first story is about the two visiting Rome and the parents of Julius Caesar 9 month before he should be born. The story tells as alot of character of Evelyn and i really like the story.

My own private Wolfgang

This story is about Wolfgang Mozart. How seems to lived little bit longer than he should. So what behind that mystery. The story is not mine but it is not bad. It is about life and if could be that genius be a genius forever or does the forever take the genius away?

Bedtime Story

Someone is telling his child a bedstory about the Doctor. He is telling about his meeting with the Doctor. These someone is a father and when he get child his grandparents would die. It always been like that and nobody is question it. Of course the Doctor is questioning it.
This is my favorite story of this volume.

100 days of the Doctor

The Doctor crossed a species and they are taking revenge. He got infected with a virus that will shut his body down in 100 days. They travels in his own past to find out when he got infected.

DW: Son of the Dragon

Hey Guys,

welcome to the 99th adventure – Son of the Dragon – of big finish main range with the fifth Doctor and his companion Erimem and Peri. They visited 1462 and lands in a war against the son of the dragon. What actually is really exciting because the son of the dragon is the really Dracula. I was always a fan of the Vampires. They real Vampires that can’t live in the daylight, don’t like garlic and drinks blood. The old vampires…without glitter. The cruel Vampire that really existed in our world. A monster who is nothing else than a human. This is not just a story of Dracula but it is also a historical story which i really love.

Quite a mess

The story is quite changing. Our lovely people stumple over a little armee that wants to defeat Dracula. But they get attackt by Dracula and his people. In the chaos of the fight Erimem saves Dracula. When Erimem is living with Dracula. Peri and the Doctor are searching for her and than try to save her. So the first two episode are quite a mass and a chaos for her.

The reason too love Doctor Who – listen or not

What i can totally promise all of you is that all characters have an amazing deep. Dracula is not just the monster the books do. You can understand him. He has his reasons. The good brother is not so much a good guy either. This is a really important thing is to never forget two things. Thing one is that you always have to see the things in their time and second all monster are nothing else than humans. We are the monster. Doctor Who shows this alot of time that everyone of us can become this monster. We should never forget that. This story shows us this. This story is totally a go and listen to it.

DW: Frozen Time

Hey Guys,

here we go with the 98th adventure of big finish main range – Frozen Time. It plays in 2012 in Antartica with the sixth Doctor again totally and uterlly alone. Something is frozen in ice and my first thought was Silurian. But the person frozen in ice is the Doctor, but maybe there is more in the ice than just him.

Whats going on

The Doctor seems to have lost his memories in his time frozen. He instinctly knows the names like Mel, Ace and Hex. People that are not longer with him. An Expitition is searching for a expition that got lost in 1929. But what they found was a blue box and a Doctor without his memories and something really bad.

Like always

I really like the crew that found the Doctor. The are many so different people. It is fun to listen to them interact with the Doctor. Sadly i am one of the few people that wished that this time it wouldn’t be the woman that run with Doctor in the show down but with some of the guys. It is always a girl or woman…

Listen or not

The story is really good and even when the Doctor don’t remember gets kinda old. The story function well and the characters are really interessting. So yes go and listen to this story.

DW: The War Doctor: Agents of Chaos – Eye of Harmony

HEy Guys,

let’s get to the last adventure of the third box of Agent of Chaos – Eye of Harmony. This adventure is for me the hardest to listen to. It is about Helenya what she is doing and why she is doing it. In the last stories i liked her but here she is – i don’t know how to discribe it. So let’s just start it.

Sacrifices in the war

Helenya has lost her grandfather in the beginning of the time war. She is right that many people lost their lifes in this war and alot will follow. That is what war is about. Dead people…killing. Some wars have to be fought and other you don’t understand. The Daleks offer Helenya a way out of the war. A way to bring the dead back. A way to prevent the time war for ever happening. I understand that this is tempting but really doesn’t she know anything about the Daleks. Why would the Daleks prevent the time war? Or would they by just defeating the time lord, but this would mean alot more death in rows time lord. She most know that there has to be more behind it. Why is everyone always falling for the promises of the Dalek?

The real heros

The story is not the best not the worst. This is mostly what i think about all the adventures in that serie of the War Doctor. But this adventure have a character that i really fall in love with. It is a young boy that help the other in the adventure before and now is with the other on this battle TARDIS.
What makes this story so good is that we have the time lords that are fighting in a war. They resignated to what it means and are ready to make these sacrifices. Other time lords are at the end of there power and can’t live with this war anymore and than there is this young boy that knows so little about war and sacrifices and yet does know so much more about what life is worth.
This story shows us the different between the people and that is what it makes such a great story.

Listen or not

So apart from the fact that you need to listen to this story to get the end of the adventure before and listen to the next Box. I would say this is definitly a listen to it story. Like i said before it is not the best story but it are the little things that makes this story great. One of them is the young boy and the other things have all to do with him. So yeah i really liked the story.

DW: The War Doctor: Agent of Chaos – The Eternity Cage

Hey Guys,

welcome to the second part of the Agent of Chaos – The Eternity Cage which starts at the same point the other adventure stopped. Heleyan, who works for Ollistra is telling the Doctor that Ollistra is captured by the Sontaron. Now the Doctor needs to help rescue her. Of course we all now the Doctor and is of course helping. It is amazing how much more he is the Doctor than some of the other Doctors.

Sontoron as part of the war

I don’t just understand that part. It is clear why the Sontoran want to be fight in this war. They just live to fight. If they want to be part of the war, than just attack one of the parties or both. Why do they need permission? Also the time lords and Daleks infollow every planet in this war but the Sontoran they just ignored? This bit is not really making sense to me. Sontoran will never be allowed in the time war… wow… good. Why is earth allowed to be part of the war? Maybe we can exchange this with them. Just thinking…
So we have the time lords, the Daleks and Sontoran all in one adventure and all three are trying to figth each other and maybe there is also a traitor in the mix.

Listen or not

It is obvious that you need to listen to the story when you want to listen to the other adventures of the war doctor. This adventure give us a few point you need to know for the next adventure. This box is like the first bound together. The second box were more stand alone than the stories now.
But i like this adventure because they point out something really good and it is a Dalek that did it. Who started the time war? The time lords that just fight to survive protect the time lines? Are they really? Didn’t the Doctor used them against the Daleks in the adventure before (The War Doctor: Agent of Chaos – The Shadow Vortex and what did they do when the Doctor to destroy all the Daleks before they became a threat…
That is why i always get back to listen to the War Doctor story. Because of this little things.

DW: The War Doctor: Agents of Chaos – The Shadow Vortex

Hey Guys,

i started to listen to the third box – Agents of Chaos – of ‘The War Doctor‘ and the first adventure ‘The Shadow Vortex’. It plays on earth. The Doctor and someone else who goes with the name Lara get arrested in East Berlin 1961. What is of course suitable with east and west are in the cold war.

The nameless name

This story is a typical Doctor Who episode. In this episode the Doctor is so much the Doctor. The Time Lords (Ollistra of course) is sending him to earth to stop the Dalek invasion. When the time war started a few planets got protected by the time lords. One of this planets was the earth. That is the reason the earth didn’t take place in the time war. But this is now in danger. Because the shield around earth got weaken and the Daleks are taking advantage of this. They send some one who did everything for the right price and she is really good at her job.
The Doctor take one of the stazi with him on this adventure to stop Lara. It is just like the old times. But i promise you this is totally and with everything the war doctor and that makes it such a good story. It is was so the Doctor and at the time everything he hates.

Listing or not

Yeah i know i write everytime less. But the war doctor story are all in the same way. This one is a little different because it feels like on old doctor who story. But it is like all the others in this serie a good story and i would say one of my favorite so far. So yeah go and listen to it. The other two adventures will follow.

The Torchwood Archive

Hey Guys,

it is here The Torchwood Archive. I must say that i was a little disapointed when i saw the how small the CD is. The Cd box is really small and i also dislike the way the CDs are stored. But apart from this CD box is beautifull. It is totally Torchwood and embossed silver. Look at it your self.
Torchwood Archive

What is Torchwood

This is a story about the History of Torchwood. The Basic of this story is that Jeremiah – just one guy from a future – that is visting the Torchwood Archive. He is there to shut it down but before he does it he wants to know what Torchwood and Object One is.
So he got lead through the archive by our love Andy which promised fun. But before that he also met hologramms of Ianto and Jack. Which give me so much feelings. This hologramms – more like computerprogramms – are so much like they original were.
But back to the story. Andi is leading him through to different scenes that are explaining what Torchwood is and what that Object One is. So we got scenes in different times and different characters. Some scene are really short others are longer, some seems so useless but everyone is amazing.

What we got

We got a story that i think almost everyone can listen and understand without knowing everything else, but it has so much goddies for the fans. Really got Captain Jack Harkness in his best form. We got Ianto Jones and we got both of them together. We got Gwen and Rhys. Also we have Suzie, Yvonne, Andi, Tosh and many others. Also we get my new favorite Character Norton.
But we got so much. We got an idea of what Tosh and Owen could have been. We finaly got a picture why Hopkins has killed everyone in Torchwood. Also we got a few Information about the Committee. We just got everything you need to love the story.

There is not one thing that i would change about it or what i would bad or could be better. It is just everything. You got the characters you love, get more background stories, hints future stories. One of the best thing was Yvonne scene were the Torchwood Archive couldn’t give information out because it is classified for Torchwood. I just can’t wait for the next adventure with them. The only thing i still need is Owen Harper back.

Listing or not

Suprise, suprise The Torchwood Archive is for me a totally listing too. I mean not tha i every said something else about the Torchwood stories. But none aless this is an anniversary celebration how it should be. It was everything in it. So go and buy this Cd and celebrated the 10 anniversary of Torchwood. It were amazing 10 years with amazing stories. So why are you still reading this, go listen to this story.

DW: The Wishing Beast

Hey Guys,

here we go with the 97th adventure of the big finish main range – The wishing beast with the sixth Doctor and Mel. The wishing beast is three parter and the other story on the CD – The Vanity Box – is kinda a prequel and sequel at the same time.

They sounded nice enough

At the beginning of the story the Doctor resived a recording, where two siblings invite everyone to join them and visited them. The Doctor who told that his time of running into problem without thinking is over and at the same time he goes visiting the siblings because they sound nice enough. But of course it is never so easy. On the way to the house something like a ghost is warning them to go there. The siblings of course tell the Doctor and Mel that the ghost are the bad. Which one is right?

The great time traveler

The siblings are waiting for special people. A great time traveler, a hero. Of course the Doctor thinks that they mean him but they are actually talking about Mel. They want her to go to the wishing beast and get granded their greatest wish. This is a really interessting thing because Mel is a person that is actually very satisfied with her life. She has nothing like a big wish. I mean Rose wanted her dad would be alive, Nyssa would have wanted to save her father and people and everyone of his companion had something they wished for. But Mel is one of very little people that traveled with Doctor that is just satisfied. Or at least this is how i saw her and remembered her.

A

Of course it is nothing like a wonderfull and peacefull place. In that Town is a Vanity Box that makes the woman younger and more beautiful. This is something i never understand why people want to look younger or try to change how they look. I am not happy with everything i look but i would never even try to change it. But many people see it different. This little story is just what it is a little story. But the best thing is we get to know what Mel would have wished. This wish just got me because it is not just everything i thought about Mel. It is what i would have wished too. I really miss someone…sorry i am just emotional right now.

Listen or not

It is a really good story. I like the way they tell the story. Who is the bad guy and who is the good guy or is there anything like that? Is it all just about love or hate? It is a story about wishes and what they can do to people. So yes go on and listen to this great story.

DW: Valhalla

Hey Guys,

welcome to the 96th adventure of the big finish main range – Valhalla with the seventh Doctor. This is one of the adventures were the Doctor is without one of the companions and plays around the year 2345.

Retiered

The Doctor retiered and is visiting Valhalla, where everything is for sale, and their job center. Also it seems like there power problems. A few people work in the underground at the power problems but they are not alone. The Doctor is telling himself that all that is not his problem and that he should just walk away. But we all know the Doctor can never retier. He can never just walk away.
For what i understand is Valhalla under controll of an artificial intelligence that doesn’t work after the ideas of the mayor anymore. She is cuting the power of the mayor and take over.

The Doctor all alone

Of course the Doctor is never really alone. He met the people in the underground a woman and a man and they trying to survive together. They have a good chemistry. But they are both characters that are more in the background. They want to go out alive and they ask much question. It is a shame. The seventh Doctor function for me just why better with a dominant character like Ace.

Listen or not

It is quite a good story. If you love the seventh Doctor go and listen to it. For it is more like i don’t have the feeling that i would missed something when didn’t had to listen to it. I think it is one of the adventure that will just stand in my cupboard and don’t get out again. But i can’t critizice anything, because it is a really solid story.
