Veronica Mars: Season 2

Hey Guys,

i wanted to make a break between the first season and the second of Veronica Mars. But with that ending i just had to look the next season. The gifs held there promise and Logan became my favorite person. I really love Logan over everyone in the serie even Weevil – who still have to little screen time.

My crazy love

Logan had a really hard time in season one and actually nobody didn’t really help him. His bestfriend is giving him up and what ever he said it was because Logans father has killed his sister. He left Logan alone the moment he got together with Veronica. It is really unfair that Logan tried to do everything right after the death of his Mum. They more i look the more i begann dislike Duncan. He is such a asshat friend. Also he has so little emotion… and i don’t see any chemistry or anything between him and Veronica. What he does remember me alot of stalking and then she was still with Logan.

You see that i am totally in love with Logan and i just want to hug him and tell him everything will be good. Because it seems like nobody is doing this. So i really cross with everyone that let him alone. Yes Veronica too… no i take that back i am extremly cross with her. Because she goes back to Duncan… can she not wait even alittle bit more than just a few weeks? She most totally be in love with him…Sorry you see how much i love him. This season will be so much pain for me. I just want him happy and maybe even a little Weevil Logan get back together and become kinda friends?

Big Cases

Like in the first season here is a big case. Okay kinda two cases. In the end of first season Logan got accused to killed a friend of Weevil. So this is one of the mystery of the next season. Also we have a bus crash, where many people found their death and Veronica was just lucky to be not at the bus. Sadly the first part with Logan and Weevil has way to little screen time. Am i objective? No totally not, i am so not objective.

Gallifrey: Weapon of choice

Hey guys,

like you know (or not) i supscribed Doctor Who stories and you can pick a gift if you do it. The gift i decided on was the first adventure of ‘Gallifrey’. I thought it would be the perfect oppurtunity to listen in the story and decide if i want to listen them. It was an really bad idea. Because now i want all other stories of Gallifrey.

What is going on

I loved Romana and i even loved Lalla Wards Romana even more. When she left the TARDIS i was really sad. But her story isn’t over. She have a lot of adventures on their own. Gallifrey is the story were she is the Lord President of Gallifrey. What i think is a very fitting place for her. But they not just bring Romana back. We also met again with K9 and Leela. Leela stayed behind in Gallifrey because she fall in love. Her Husband Andred died and she wants to know what happend. Romana is asking her for help when terrorist came in the possesion of a deadly weapon the Time Lords forget about.
I don’t want to say to much. But it is way more behind everything than you think.

Listen or not

The story is good. It is not that it is amazing. But the story works and it is really nice to have the old characters back in action. Romana as president is really amazing. I love everything about. Also i love how much Leela thinks of Romana and trust her. Torvald is one of the Time Lords that is working with Leela in this adventure. I really like him. He is an interessting character. Also the story has very politcal background. Not everyone is happy with Romana as president. Also behind the good story is alot more and that are the reason why i will listen to the rest of the story.

DW: The War Doctor: Infernal Devices: Neverwhere

Hey Guys,

welcome to the last chapter of the second Box ‘Infernal Devices‘ – Neverwhere. The second box thematics the question if the Doctor is still the Doctor. Ollistra is calling him this and also believe he does excatly what the Doctor would do. She manipulated him to do what she wants.

What the Doctor does

I believe the same things as Ollistra. He is still the Doctor and doing the same decisions than everyone else. The Doctor is trying to save everyone and is in away naive. Every Doctor is different. Every Doctor as his own way. The first doesn’t care about people. He doesn’t want to help or be nice. He just want to see new things.
The second would without a second thought earse the cyberman from existince, when the third just believes that their is always a other way. You can make this list as long as Doctors are their. For me the War Doctor is nothing to be ashamed of or not the Doctor. He is still trying to save people. He is still doing what he thinks is right. He is a fighter but not a soldier. He is not following any orders. He always makes his own way.
This is actually what i think is the most important thing to the Doctor. The one think that never change. The Doctor what ever he believed in, if he is bad or good. No matter if he is naive or manipulitave. The Doctor is always going his own way. He never let anyone else think for him. He thinks for himself. He doesn’t follow orders, he just follows his own believes. He always make his own way.

Living Hell

This time the weapon Ollistra is after is even more cruel than all the others and very simular to the other weapons. They created a place that can overcame everything. When you die you, you came back to live. You feel the pain. The Daleks and Time Lords fighting and nobody can win. They fight an endless battle. So the technology and the people himself is developing to make the most damage. It is a horrible version of horrible life without hope.

The story is not bad and like the whole box the story don’t get me. I will get the third of the war doctor. But it seems like just the first box got me this excited.

Tokyo Ghoul √A

Hey Guys,

the first season of ‘Tokyo Ghoul’ got me very fast, but the second season ‘Tokyo Ghoul √A’ is not so convincingly. When i started watching the second season i hadn’t read the Manga yet. So i can’t say if it is better or not as that. But what i can say is that the Anime is going a differnet way than the Manga.

Kaneki

The last season endend with Kaneki on a crossroad. He thinks that he needed to change and do bad things when it is for the rigth reasons.
So he eat Jason, who had tortured him and joins the group Aogiri. This decision is not really explained. It kinda comes out of nowhere. Jason, who also was a member of the Aogiri tortured him and Kaneki accepts not is Ghoul part but Riz from which he has the organs. This is a big differents. So he beginns to eat Jason, but why he came from that to joining the same group is behind me. I am sure that it has something to do with protecting who is important to him. Because if that is not the case it doesn’t get along with the character we already knew.
But we got very, very little scense with him.

Antique

We see alot about Toka and Himori. It is alot talking and very slow. Toka is not one of my favorite but it is alot about the girls living with Kanekis decision. Nishiki is getting also very little screen time.
But i definitly want more of Hide. He seems to know alot more than he let on. For me it is clear that he heart the conversation in the first season from Kaneki and the owner of the Antique. So he knows that Kaneki is a Ghoul. But it seem like i am the only one that seems to see it that way.

Alot of unanswered questions

We got alot new characters and the backstories are mostly really amazing. But i am sad that the old characters fall into the background and we got not enough information about the new persons. So much doesn’t make sense. Why are so many humans now Ghouls? Why would anyone do something like that? What has the whole storyline from the first part of the second season to do with the second part which is emotionally amazing and really good. Also it brings us characters back to the person they were.

Watching or not

Truth be told. If a season 3 will come i will be watching. This season was big let down for me. It is not that apparently the story is different form the Manga. I have no problem with that. My problem is that the decision is not logic and that we don’t get an explaination for it. We got so many new characters so many plotlines that ends nowhere. The last part of the season is emotionally bringing me down. It is final that makes my cry and break down it is for me the niveau of the first season but it doesn’t conacted with the first part of this season for me? Why is Kaneki now going back when we not even know he even started to leave. What was the reason for all the characters we never say again and never get really explained like the twins? Why are they Ghouls when they were human. Who made them Ghouls. Have i missed a few episodes? Because all that doesn’t make any sense for me. So yes i would watch it but it is totally a don’t watch this season…

Veronica Mars: Season 1

Hey Guys,

yes i started a new serie (or an old one) Veronica Mars. I had to look into the serie that got a film years later and i saw a lot of sweet gifs of Logan (don’t know how they can exist). From the gifs of the serie i thought Logan should have been my favorite character. A sweet boy… yeah no sweet boy – little asshole is the better discribetation. Of course there is alot more to him than that, but that is another story. Truth be told i know nothing about the serie expect for the fact that Logan and Veronica were characters in it and that there is that chemistry between them and the big question did the end up together. In season 0ne it doesn’t look like it.

First Look

So the first look at the serie is nothing i thought it would be. It is actually a little like a crime serie. The cases Veronica is taking are mostly just teenage problems but there is that big case. The death of her best friend that she wanted to solve even when the murderer had confessed. Okay back to the start. Veronica has some of the cool kids. She was dating the cool guy Duncan and brother of her best friend Lily. Lilys boyfriend is or better was Logan.
Veronicas father was the sheriff and when Lily got killed the sheriff suspect the father of her and Duncan. He couldn’t let that theory go. After a colleague arrest someone the case got closed and Veronicas father lost his job. Veronica got an outsider in the school and this is where we start of. Veronica is a taff girl, who actuelly is really good at making friends.
So who killed Lilly and will Logan and Veronica end up togther?

The group

There is no actuall group. We have Veronica and her best friend Wallace. Wallace is there to get the school files of the students for her. Than there is one of my favorite characters, who sadly have not enough screen time – Weevil. He is the leader of a motor bike gang. One of the big bad guys, who are actually really nice. He helps Veronica out a lot with infos or a little backup.
Later we also have Mac or Cindy, who is computer expert and does the hacking and programming jobs for Veronica. She is a pretty funny girl with a nice style.
Of course there is also Logan. Logan does provide help for Veronica. He is more of trying to annoy her the most he can. He and Veronica have a little war going on between them.
Than there is Meg, who is a really sweetheart. She is kinda the nicest girl in school and really popular. She can like everything – okay she can’t but she is doing a lot of stuff – muscial, news reader, cheerleader and so on.
The characters are all very sweet and loveable. Just Duncan is for me not really sympatic. He is way to passive. Yes, Logan is an asshole but he knows when he is done something wrong. He doesn’t hide that he is an asshole. He just hide that he has a really kind heart. He is the typicall teenage boy that tries so hard to be cool. After his girlfriends death he is getting even worse.

Watching or not?

When i would be still a teenager than this would totally one of my favorite series. Maybe the big mystery case would even be a mystery. Don’t get me wrong i don’t know what really happend. But the conlusions Veronica draws are things i suspected at least three episodes before her. So the story is nice and good but nothing that really can surprise me – maybe the finale can.
But the characters grow on you so fast. I love Weevil and Logan is growing on my every episode. In the second part of the serie he and Weevil are my favorite persons.
So good story. Even better characters. This is totally a go and watch the serie.

DW: Exotron

Hey Guys,

welcome to the 95 big finish main range adventure Exotron that featured the fifths Dotor and Peri. It takes place on distant outpost of earth, AHistory is setting it around 2350 somewhere before the Macra Terror. For the Doctors timeline it is somewhere before they met Erimem or after. Anyway Erimem is not part of the Story and they don’t explain were she is.

They protect us

This is beautifull story about missunderstanding about language in many ways. On that outpost of earth are of course humans, but there are als the Farakosh that don’t comunicate like humans. The humans just see them as danger and animals. Than there are the Exotrons. The are devoleped to protect the humans from the Farakosh. But is this really that simple? It never is. They are in a way three species that don’t understand each other. The just reacted to things without thinking what it would look like to the other.
This whole things to we got in a smaller version. Because it goes about a two people that loved each other on some point of their life. She got an affair and the got devorced. All this because of the undoubtly point that comunication is really complicated.

Atmosphere

The Story is really good. I like the themes and it works pretty well. The way the story is told serves to see the simualars between the little situation and the bigger situation. I love how the make this story about love without telling a love story. But something is missing. I don’t get in the story and i don’t know why. Because i like everything about the story. But it is like there is just no spark. I can’t tell you why this is.

B-Side: Urban Myths

The Story is a really nice idea, but i really dislike almost everything about it. Three time lords eats lunch and discuss about the event that lead to the discusion to kill the Doctor. Everytime the tell a little different story. The first time has a WTF-Moment when the tell a story were the Doctor isn’t acting like we know him. You asking yourself what is happend there… it doesn’t make seens like that. But we just get the same story just a little more like the Doctor and again… I don’t know, you wait for something big and different than in the end you just get a story were the Doctor is like always. I am not a fan of stories like that. I hated the endless loop episode of Supernatural…

Torchwood – Zone 10

Hey Guys,

welcome to the newest Big Finish Torchwood adventure ‘Zone 10’. This time we get our lovely Toshiko Sato back. So this have to play before the end of season 2. I would say it plays before the episode they met the real Captain Jack Harkness. Because she tells them that she hadn’t seen her family in years, but in this episode she gets ready to go to the birthday of her father. So when this isn’t a mistake, than Torchwood makes sure that she will see her family again.

First Solo Mission

The radio signal that Tosh is investigating says ‘Toshiko Sato the truth is in Zone 10’. This signal is over 40 years old. So long before Tosh was born. But she feels like it is for her and when you look at what the signal means, she is right. So she travels alone to russia to find the truth. The Story is simple and not really surprising. Of course everything has in the end to do with the Comitee.

I love Tosh and i want more adventures with her but this adventure is not feeling so familiar as the other storys. When you her the others you are feeling like your characters you love back. But with Tosh there is something missing. I don’t know what is. Maybe because she is not so good at the radio thing like the others. Or it is just to long i saw Tosh in action. The last time i watched Torchwood is a few years ago…maybe that is the reason. The only thing i know is that something is missing. But i hope that Tosh is coming back for other adventures and that this feeling will be gone than.

DW: Lethbridge-Stewart – the forgotten son

Hey Guys,

here it comes the first book of the new serie Lethbridge-Stewart or the Havoc Files. Like the name says it is about Lethbridge-Stewart so what can go wrong?

What is it about

For everyone who didn’t heart about it yet. The serie plays after the events of ‘The Web of fear’. This is his way to becoming the Brigadier and building UNIT. Which is a lovely idea. The Brigadier is an amazing character and one of the most important character in the arc of the third Doctor. So war he is also with Sarah Jane Smith the one that has seen the most reincarnations of the Doctor. I don’t know rigth now if the sixth Doctor met the Brig but one to five and the seventh of met the Brig – and that is just the tv serie. To make a serie about the person who not just become a close friend to the Doctor but also his boss, is an amazing idea – yes i know i said that before and it will be not the last time. Because the Brig is one of my all time favorites.
So the first book took place right after ‘The Web of fear’. When the Doctor left the town was still a mass. They people left behind had to clean up after the incident. The Brig is the one that is responisble for the repopulation of London.

Old enemies

The first case has to do with the Great Intellegent and the past of the Brig (in this story he is just an colonell but he just call him always Brig or the Brigadier). Best thing about the book is not the story itself, which is be no means bad, but the best thing is that we got to know more about the Brig, about his past, his daily life and his fiancee.
The most negative about the book is the way it is written. This story as way to many perspectives. We have the Brig, a dead soldier, the Brigs mom, an old friend of the Brigadier and twins and you look through everyones eyes. Which is making us understand the person itself better but it is just to much for me.

But you got a good feeling for all the characters. You like or dislike them. But there isn’t a character that seems flat. And a few of the characters will cross the Brigs way many times.

Close to the serie?

What is good and on the same time not, is that they actually are very close to the New Who serie. So it is mentioned that the Great Intelligence is followed everywhere by procelin girl – Clara Oswald. But that also means that they took also his last salute to the doctor. Which I really hate because I want to forget that it ever happens. This is destroying cybermen and the Brigadier.

But everyone who love the Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart should read that book.

Elementary: Season 3

Hey Guys,

here i go and watched the 3rd seaon of Elementary. The last season left me on really big high. I was judging Watson for not seeing in what dark place he was. That he was running away of the feeling of losing her. I had a great excpetions of this season and one was that we see Sherlock on a really low point in his life. It doesn’t happen like i thought… and i still have very mixed feelings about the third season.

First point: Time jump

The season starts month after the last season and Sherlock is already on a better place than i thought we would see him. He is already fighting his way back and i thought that we would see him fall. Joan built a life for her own. She is working for the police and got a boyfriend, making nemesis. Sherlock is running away and getting a new student.
I dislike the time jump. Because i felt betrayed a little of the fall of Sherlock. It is not that i want to see him fall. I wish him a really great and good life but that show isn’t a happy one. Beneath all the laugh and fun it is really dark and crappy place. The people are pretty broken and we left Sherlock at a place where he lost all ground beneath his feet. He fall…and we didn’t see that. Later in the season we got a flashback and see how worse he was but it was just not enough for me.

Second point: Kitty

Kitty is the biggest point why i have mixed feelings about the season. Just to be clear. I love Kitty. She is an amazing character and her story is really great and i really feel the hole she left. Truth be told I didn’t liked her the first two episodes but she really grow on me. She is a really strong character and utterly broken. That one point i love of her arc is the relationship with Sherlock. Both are so broken. Sherlock needs her to so he doesn’t drown. He concentrate everything on her. He needs her more than she needs him. She needs someone to help her heal and Sherlock is not the right one for it, he himself is to broken for it. But in the end he is it what really helps her heal none aless…
Between Sherlock and Watson it feels like the two has beneath Clyde adopted Kitty.
On the other hand is Sherlock so focused on Kitty that we see Bell just as a cop in the background. He has like zero interaction with Sherlock just with Joan. That is for me a really negative point.
You see my troubled feelings?

Third point: Everyone so broken

The second part of the season is all i missed in the first part. But now i miss Kitty…
Bell and Alfredo get interaction with Sherlock again. We see that fragile friendship grow and how broken they are. Sometimes i forget that Alfredo is a broken junkie like Sherlock. We see him not often struggle and episodes when he does are so good and sad.
Bell is such a lonley character but we never really saw many of that but in the second season it becomes so much clearer.
Also we have to deal with a Watson that is trying to isolate herself when everyone else is struggling to fight the loneliness.
One of my favorite scenes is were Bell and Sherlock through cards at the hockey-cup. Right now he needs just that.

I love the third season. But it is totally not what i thought i would be. But in a way this is better, isn’t it? Maybe i even love that i have such mixed feelings about the season because it is just like the life. It isn’t black and white. Everything is just gray…

DW: I.D.

Hey Guys,

welcome to the 94th big finish main range adventure ‘I.D.’. This is an adventure of the sixth doctor without a companion. The back cover says that it plays in the 32nd century. Ahistory is placing it around 3150 between ‘the brain of Morbius’ and ‘the beast below’. So for the Doctor it has been somewhere between Peri and Mel. Because he is traveling alone. If this is between or after Evelyn is hard to say.

Altering the character

The setting is interessting. The Doctor met a researcher. This group is working on recreate character treats. The do it with data. It seems like people are uploading their character and everything as data. It seems very interessting. What are the consequences of it and why whould people do such things. So this give us alot of interessting stuff to think about. But the first two episodes are not getting into this stuff. It seems like that zhr Scandroids want to transfer data and this data is killing people. So the maschines wander around and upload data into the humans brains and kill them with it.

On the surface

Except from the Doctor we know nothing in this story. We don’t know the time or the characters. We don’t no the big bad. Which means we are in this completely new world and his interessting background that don’t get used. It remembers me alittle of the cybermen and the end is for me a little to happy end. The characters are good and interessting but have way to little time to acctually get into your heart. This story is just to fast for what i could’ve been. If you understand what i mean. Sadly this is what i am telling about the most stories in the last time.

Bonus Story: Urgent Call

This story is the first one that have a short story on the disk. I had this story before it was one of the storys big finish overed to download for free when you have the right from the Doctor Who Magazine. I really like this story. It is different to the others. We have that character Laurel that doesn’t feel well and is calling her mother but instead the Doctor answered the phone. The only way the Doctor is playing in this story is when Laurel calls him be accidient. The whole story are just phone calls she makes and the story is in the background. She just got little parts of what happend from the Doctor.

The best thing in this story is that in the end she doesn’t know how it ends. The Doctor just vanished like always and let her with all the question back. Urgent Call is a really nice story and is totally worth to hear the story before on the disk.
