DW: The War Doctor – Infernal Devices: A Thing Of Guile

Hey Guys,

yeah i know that i need a really long time to actually listen to the second part of The War Doctor – Infernal Devices namend A Thing Of Guile. I really liked the first box of The War Doctor – Only The Monstrous. The second box is not bad but something is missing. I really don’t know what it is. The Doctor is the Doctor and the stories are really good…
This story is playing after the ‘Legion of the Lost‘ and this time the Doctor is as a prisoner in mission with Ollistra and the other the Doctor get to know in the adventure before.

War efforts

The stories are all very simular. The time lords find a weapon and try to use it in the war. They found a weapon and the Doctor should find out how it works. But at the same time they find a Dalek projekt. Like the Time Lords the Daleks are trying to find a way/ a weapon to win the war. It is really hard to see the differents between the Daleks and the Time Lords in these stories. The War is making everyone the bad and a victim of the war.
Which is really interessting to see. What does the war make of the people. Also the double standards that never change. The Time Lord are shocked at the unhuman experiments but they are not better. Is the only thing that counts that you win the war or does it matter how you win the war? Is it worth to lose everything that makes you human?

I really love the dark athmosphere and deep question about war and humanity. About losing yourself and be forced to make decision nobody want to make. It is good stuff. But maybe the problem is that it is the same in all the adventures. I am not big fan of War Movies and this shows me that war audio plays are not mine either. But it is way to good to not get the third box… i think.

DW: Renaissance of the Daleks

Hey Guys,

welcome to the 93th big finish main range adventure – Renaissance of the Daleks. This adventure is with the fifth Doctor and Nyssa. They are not alone on this adventure. They have four new companions in the TARDIS everyone out of a different time. Mulberry is a knight of templar and met Nyssa in 1320. Nyssa and Mulberry are landing in Petersburg 1864 at the time of the american civil war and met Floyd. 1967 they save major alice hunniford and take her with them. The Doctor is traveling with Wilton how seems to be out of a parallel universe. 2158 a year after the Dalek invate the earth but it didn’t happen.

Big group

This is really good. So many characters in the TARDIS. They are all very different even when they all are soldiers in a way. There is so much potential in the conactions between all this characters. This is the best part of the story. All that stuff about the different times and characters. It is fun to hear them try to work together and find out what happend. There is way more potential between them than just this adventure. But sadly they will not travel together longer.

Same old

Okay, i know that every Daleks story is in away the same old story over and over again. But this one of the story i didn’t like very much. The story is in away very boring. I like the characters but everything else seems so act on the survice. So many things doesn’t make much sense to me. Also i am i not a fan of humind Daleks. So the story is not getting me.

I am really sorry for the short articles. I will give my best to change that again.

Torchwood: Made you look

Hey Guys,

i totally tried to listen to this Big Finish Torchwood Adventure – Made you look – way before but i always fall asleep when i started listing. It is not really bad. I am just really tired after the vacation and working again is tiring me out too. But it doesn’t help that this adventures is again with Gwen. I really dislike her. I love everyone in Torchwood just not her and everytime i rewatch Torchwood i dislike her more. So this story is like i told you already about Gwen and it plays in the present after the last adventure with her ‘More than this‘.

The long ride

The story is actually really good. Like every story of Torchwood from Big Finish it has a catch and it is really amazing. The Story works with so like stuff and it is soooo little happening but it is far from boring. It is like a long journey. The only problem with that is that it is Gwen. So everyone who loves Gwen will love the story even more. For me it just works because i don’t really care about her. So with every other character the story be more interessting for me. But like i said the story is good. It is nothing fancy, but just that makes it so good.

The problem with that is again that i can’t tell much about. Because everything i tell you will take something from the story. But just that you got an idea. Gwen found a video where a girl is telling that this one town is dying and Gwen is go there to check things out from there everything turns out bad like always.

So just buy it and listen to it! It is good and it makes me really want a season three. But as far i know there is nothing about that there will be one?! Please!! We need a third season. But what we will definitly will have is a Torchwood special with Gwen, Jack and Ianto. Also in the cast is listed Rhys and Andy. Listen to the trailer: here.

DW: Nocturne

Hey Guys,

welcome to the 92 big finish main range adventure ‘Nocturne. It plays around 2800 (by AHistory – the TARDIS.wiki is saying 2797) on the planet Nocturne. The Seventh Doctor is visiting this periode of time alot and in different incarnations. This time he brings Hex and Ace.

Implications

In my head i think about which adventures Tegan or Mel had on that planet. With which others the Doctor visited his friends. Sadly i don’t know about big finish having other adventures their. I would love to have a few short stories about this meetings. It is like there are not always big problems, just the Doctor visiting his old friends and is quiet lovely to think about it. That he is no capiable of it. Not like the third Doctor.

Trip to Venice

I really want to know what the trips was like. Hex is telling a few time that it becomes more and more like his trip to Venice. This is actually one of the best thing of this adventure. The close way Hex, Ace and the Doctor act to each other. How they talk about their past and tease each other. Also this epsiode is giving Ace someone to bond with and i really beginn to love her. How easy she is opening her heart to this people and how vulnerable.
The adventure was just like a schooltrip to Venice.

Just what it is

The story feels warm and confortable. It is inviting us to a nice trip with friends and you can feel it. The danger don’t have many schockeffects or action. It is just happening. The atmosphere became darker and sadder the longer the story goes. But it never lost the familiar feeling. The Music that have a big role in the story is just underpin this story. The Music is beautiful and kinda sad. It remembers me why i love sometime classic music on the piano. They are caring so much feelings.
So the normal story about someone or something is killing people is becoming something special and make it to one of my favorite stories.

DW: The War Doctor – Infernal Devices: Legion of the Lost

Hey Guys,

here i am a little late but better than never with the second Box of ‘The War Doctor’ and the first adventure ‘Legion of the Lost’. It plays after Box One and he is like always travling alone. Of course it doesn’t stay that way. This adventure he meets Collis. She is on a mission and is the last one alive.

Time Lords are better hands?

Collis and her team had the mission to get a weapon that is really dangerous. It earses people and things completely from existince. Of course the time lords want them but the Doctor doesn’t want it in the hands of the time lords. He is out to destroying it and Collis is dying.
This is were the story really begins. Because the time lords work on a new war advantage. They bring the warriors back from the death so they can die again in the war.

Cost of a war

Is it alright to win a war at all cost? How far can we go? Does we have a right to do everything? This is what are not just the questions in this story. This are the questions in the whole story of the war doctor. It is about war crimes, about sacrifices and moral. Even this Doctor has morals. He isn’t one to allow such things. He believes that their is a differnt cost to bringing someone back to live.
Of course he is right.

Torchwood: Broken

Hey Guys,

Big Finish showed me again why i love them so much the newest Torchwood adventure Broken is what i waited for. The first season of Torchwood is leaving so much holes. Sometimes you ask yourself what happend between the episodes. Their is a book ‘The Torchwood Archieve’ that gives us a little more background information about what happend between but it was never enough. But here we get everything that happend between Jack and Ianto.

Jumps

Normally i am not a fan of time jumps. I think it destroys the flow. But here i really like it. It starts after the episode with Lisa – ‘The Cyberwoman'(Episode S01x04). It plays after my favorite episode ‘Countryside’ (S01x06). Most of the story plays after ‘Greeks Bearing Gift’ and before ‘They keep killing Suzie’.
It shows us how Ianto is trying to deal with Lisas death and come to terms with working with Jack and actually start sleeping with him. We got so much more inside of Ianto Jones and that is always good. Because Ianto is so precious.

New friendships

Ianto find himself in a bar and talking to a bar maid – Mandy. She becomes someone he goes for advice. We see him deal poorly with what happend. He founds himself in a really dark place. We not see often that dark side of Ianto Jones. I actually don’t want to tell more. That just they are investigating missing people and it is just awesome.
Just get the adventure and hear for yourself. This is an amazing story about our broken Ianto Jones and how he get ready to fall in love with Jack. This is were they really start.

Ianto Jones and Jack Harkness forever. I always gonna miss them. I always gonna miss Ianto Jones. He saved Jack in very special way and his death has utterly broken him. I will always find tears for them.

The Tenth Doctor Adventures: Death and the Queen

Hey Guys,

here we go with my favorite adventure in this Volume of the Tenth Doctor Adventures – Death and the Queen. Of course it is again the tenth Doctor and Donna Noble and plays in Goritania. It is not clear in what time it plays.

Donna and the man

Donna is such a strong character but she always tried to define herself above a man. So he got often used by them. Like Lance did in the christmas special. Here Donna is meeting a prince that fall in love with her and want to marry her.
All Donna always wished for. But the life is not what she wants. She has armee, glamour and will be a queen. But everything is just to much for her. A fairytale that for Donna is more than a nightmare but she never let any of that show to the Doctor.

Goodbyes

So Donna is struggling with her fairytale life and the Doctor with getting to get left again. First Rose and than Martha. Donna was the one he believed would stay with him. Because he didn’t fall in love with her and she didn’t fall for him. They are just best friends traveling together. So the Doctor hoped that she would stay. This Doctor is such an emotional person that can’t deal with loneliness.

Why i love them

Both are dealing with their typical problems in such a way that is so them. But the best thing is the way the Donna always saves the Doctor and everyone around her. She doesn’t believe in herself. She needs to define herself above man but in the end she is stronger than everyone. She is ready to protect her kingdom at all cost. Not much persons care so much for people and are ready to sacrifice so much for people she just shortly know.
For a person that define herself about man, she isn’t getting any shit for them. She does what he things is right and is always showing them into their border. She can fight that war on her own and would win.

Hopefully we will get a Volume 2 of The Tenth Doctor Adventures.

DW: Circuliar Time

Hey Guys,

here we go with the 91th big finish main range adventure ‘Circular Time’ with the fifths Doctor and Nyssa. The story consists out four shot stories named after the seasons. The story very different and i like the last two much more than the first. This four stories plays to differnt times. But the last story plays in the same time like the last story of the fifths Doctor.

Spring

The Story is about a meeting with another time lord. A time lord that left his planet to see the world. He stays on a planet with birdlike people and become something like their god. In this culture see things different. When someone did something bad, the one that got the punishment is the one closed to the one who did it.
Nyssa is offend by this. Also she is really shocked that the Doctor was exciled.
This story is about how a time lord is take his place as a good and trick the Doctor.

Summer

This is totally differnet story it plays one earth the Doctor and Nyssa got arrested because they wanted to pay with the wrong currency. Because he got to met Issac Newton. Someone that stoped being a alchemist. He is a difficult person. Which overthings everything and also got just out of the currency that they are time travlers and from earth. He looks at all the details and set them to new picture.

Autumn

This is really quieted story. It is about Nyssa and the Doctor making a pause. The Doctor plays cricket and Nyssa is writting a novel about herself, about Traken. Nyssa is meeting a man who is interessted in her and is going out with her. They talk about her writting and he is interessted in her. Also is she telling him the truth about her home planet but he don’t really believe her. It is lovely to see this side of Nyssa.

Winter

The last story plays in Nyssa future. It is after Terminus. She has know a husband and little baby. She found her luck and it is nice. But than she beginn to dream about the past and something gave her a special feeling so she use the dream maschine of her husband to find out what it is. The Doctor lived in a farm house and has children and a wife. He doesn’t really remember her.

DW: Year of the pig

Hey Guys,

welcome to the 90th big finish main range adventure ‘Year of the pig with the sixth Doctor and Peri. The Story plays in the year 1913. It is a very special episode. It will never be my favorite. But it has something i can hardly explain.

Tobe and the inspector

Tobe is a pig that is always eating and his nurse is watching the other guests of the hotel and describe it to him. He is not just a pig, he is a famous pig and has a few very special fans. One we meet is an lady that infollwing Peri and the Doctor in everything.
The inspector is a very special person. He is really not sympathic. The Doctor and Peri saves him from drowning. So he searches the contact to these two. But he is hiding something.

The problem with this story is that it is so special that i am afraid that i write the wrong thing and everyone knows what is the solution to this abstruse story. About pigs, experiments, time travel, emenies and friends. I always have the feeling that i over heard something. How the go to place to place. For me it is a pile of chaos that does shows everything.

The Tenth Doctor Adventures: Time Reaver

Hey Guys,

here we go with the second adventure of the Tenth Doctor Adventures Vol 1 – Time Reaver. Of course this is the tenth Doctor and Donna who go and have another adventure. This adventure takes part in Calibris which is a space port. It is playing before the ‘Silence in the Library’. In the end of the story he tells her that her next stop should be the library.

What is going on?

A girl get lost and falls in the end of very bad aliens. It goes about a weapon that make a few seconds so much longer. It is like two seconds are two hours for the person. The girl is not the only victim of them. It is a terrible weapon and everyone seemed to want that weapon.
But also is this story like the story before. It is not what it seems. In the end there is something totally different go on with that weapon.

Relationship

Donna have a new way to shine in this story. I love Donna always the most when she shows us how she take care about the people around her. She is loud and direct but she really cares so much about everyone. Here we see her take care about the girl that got abducted. She doesn’t judge Cora for the stupid thing that she does. She understand her, what she wanted to archieve.

Spoilers – what weapon can do

This story is about two sides of the same coin. It is about what good can something do and what at the same time to more harm than good. A weapon that make out of seconds hours. The worst feeling when you are in pain but what happend if when you are happy – you are longer happy. Isn’t that a good thing when you know your time is counted? Is it worth the risk of some one using it for evil? The story reminds me of of the book we read in german lesson – the physicist.

I loved the first episode more but it is still a really good story. So listen to it. I try to write about the next and last adventure as soon as possible. It is my favorite story of the box.
