DW: Something inside

Hey Guys,

here we go with the 83 adventure ‘Something inside’ form the big finish main range. This adventure is playing somewhere after the Divergent Universe – in which this story should original take place. I assume that it also plays after Time Works. Inside the Story is no time given. So it would be a perfect fit for the Divergent Universe.

Here we go again

Big Finish want to make fun of me. This story is again a story with the future and than going to listen what happend. It feels like the story got to the start very fast. But i still dislike this way of telling stories. Again C’rizz, Charley and the Doctor lost each other again. I love it when every character can shine and this time it would be Charley. But here we see that there must be something new to be an interessting story.
The human nature is always the most interessting and this team around the time lord are amazing characters.

The human nature

There was a war that the humans couldn’t win. Everytime the humans can’t do something they found another way. This time the made a mashine that turns humans in telecnatic persons. After the war was over they tried to reverse the progress what didn’t functioned. The only other solution the humans can bring up is to bring this people into a special prison. Isn’t this a typical story about our nature. The story is really good and it makes a lot of fun to listen too.

DW: The Settling

Hey Guys,
here we go with the 82 adevnture ‘the Settling’ from the big finish main range. The seventh Doctor, Ace and Hex are landing in 1649 were Cromwell set an ultimatiom to Wexford. This is Hex first adventure in the earth past. So where do we start.

The Beginning of the end

I am not a way of the way the story is told. This is something i always say when we start in the present and than have something like two days before. But i have to say the way Hex is speaking, i forget about this way of telling the Story. Hex is thinking about what happend and seems to be very bad because he sounds a little broken. Everytime Hex is talking in the present, i just want to hug him.

Travling with Cromwell

We have two story parts. One is Hex who travels with Cromwell and is trying to make him a better man. He is trying to make a difference. Than we have the Doctor and Ace, which are searching for Hex. The Doctor and Hex have a pregant woman with them and which brings them in a difficult situation.
Can History be changed? This is a interessting theme and we know the Doctors opinion about it. You can’t change History. But maybe you can make a difference.

Did we make a difference

Hex is feeling for the first time. That he couldn’t save people like he wanted. He can’t change history, people are dying around him. Where Ace is seeing the positive side. They made a difference, they did the best they could do and they saved the pregnant woman.
But Hex don’t sees it yet as a difference. Thausands died and they saved one. He is not ready to see that one is better than none. He still wants to save everyone and that makes him so loveable but Ace is right. This makes a different. Hex is already thinking about leaving the TARDIS.

The Story is good but not more.

DW: The Kingmaker

Hey Guys,

welcome to the 81 big finish main range adventure ‘The Kingsmaker’. The fifths Doctor is traveling with Peri and Erimem. It takes place in 1483 and 1485 in England. For the Doctors timeline it takes place after the Planet of fire and after the Axis of Insanity.

Big start

The Doctor made a contract at his fourth Incarniation that he will write a kids book. This Books should be called The Doctor, Who decover… and it becames Doctor Who. It is a funny play with our title. But that is not what the story is about. The Doctor wanted to write about the mystery about Richard 3 and who killed the princes in the tower. The story plays with a lot of things. What is going on there and than there is the mysterious man ‘Mr Seyton’, which has a TARDIS and alot of knowledge about the future.

Different sides of view

This story gives us alot of time to see the different points of view of Peri and Erimem. That is actually why i love to have an companion like Erimem again in the TARDIS. We see how Erimem sees the death and how she sees alot very different. She is ready to learn new things and is eager to get to know all that stuff. But she has strong opinions and is ready to do things Peri would never understand. Which makes the story very interessting.

But that is the only thing that is interessting. The Story is not bad but not the best.

DW: Time Works

Hey Guys,

here we go with the 80 adventure ‘Time Works’ of the main range of Doctor Who. It is another adventure with Charly and C’rizz and of course our lovely eigtht Doctor. This story was planed as a story for the Diverenge Universe but it takes place now after that events.

Clockwork

What happends between the tick and the tock? The Story is really interessting. So what is it about? The story is about time. The three of them lands in a land where everything stand still. All the people just stopped and they all have watches. So time even when there isn’t one seems really important. Of course this not the only thing. The Doctor doesn’t want to stay. He wants to go back to the TARDIS, but on the way back something goes wrong like always with the Doctor. C’rizz and Charley are still trapped in the stopped time. The Doctor lands in the moving time again. So he is in the tock and the others still in the between. What gives us my favorite option to have the Companion alot of action without the Doctor. So the two try to find the Doctor again. The Doctor tries to save these two.

The two sides

They people in that land just live for anything anymore. There is just working and sleeping. How can not work or not work good enough get dispossed. This is making us ask what is life really about.
C’rizz has that talent to find the people the right people, that explain him what happend. This ‘computer’ is building a new world – rebuilt. The quest is to make sure there is still something for the next generation.
What i really like is that C’rizz have an good developement. He cut himself a little loose form the Doctor. He is like hiding behind him. Almost every sentence starts with the Doctor would say.

What i like about the story is that in between it is told like story. An Offspeaker is telling us about the clockworkman and the voice of the woman is really intimedating. She makes an amazing job. It is a good episode. Not special, not extraordinary but a good story and nice to listen too.

Torchwood: More than this

Hey Guys,

here we go with the last Big Finish Torchwood adventure – More than this – of the first season. It takes place after the 3rd adventure ‘Forgotten Lives‘ of this season. Gwen is actually doing what Rhys told her to do. She starts Torchwood again.

Seasonfinal – ordinary day

This isn’t a season final like we know it from TV stories. It is just a story like all the other. No big cliffhanger or something really game changing. But it is a start for the surviving of Torchwood. This is a story about Gwens ordinary working day. She is trying to rebuilt Torchwood and want a place to store all the aliens things. So she has to work with bürocrates and to explain what Torchwood is about. Gwen chooses the only way that makes sense to her and take the bürocrate out to work with her a day. So they met alot of different aliens. It is nothing special just an ordinary day what makes it in the end so special.

Special Guest

Gwen is this time alone with the bürocrates. But of course Rhys is still having a part in it. So they meet in some places Andi and we all know Andi, do we. In the end everything is about the bürocrate. He is telling us the story. He is lonely and he feels like humans are small and not insignificant. He lost his love and he doesn’t have faith anything anymore. It was just a accident. He forgot how precious life can be. This is a story about dealing with the pain and the ordinary day. About that we are not insignificant.

In the end i am really excited to listen to the next season. I hope that they are many to follow. Because this adventures are really amazing and i love all of them that are out now. So go and buy it and than listen to it and fall in love with Torchwood again and again.

DW: Night Thoughts

Hey Guys,

here we go with next adventure of big finish main range number 79 – Night Thoughts. This time we have the seventh Doctor with his companion with Hex and Ace. It takes place in Schottland 2006 after ‘Human Resources’. In the Doctors timeline would have been behind Survival (TV Serie). This adventure was the first adventure from big finish that was after a scrpit of the TV-Serie but never was filmed. After that big finish started the serie of Lost Stories. We start with a little information about Hex. This is my first adventure with him so lets see how he is.

Thomas Hector Schofield

His first appereance was in the 58 adventure ‘The Harvest’. He is human and works as a Doctor. He met the two when they came to investigate alien aktivity on the hospital he works. It seems like he saw Ace got into the TARDIS and want to know about it. Ace is showing him and is convinced the Doctor to take Hex with them. This is the fourth adventure with them so there is not much to know.
In the first two episodes i don’t think what i would think about Hex. He got scared and he is having this nightmare. But he made a few dump comments to and about the girl. So i did thought really highly of him but he changed my mind. He is actually really lovely, has a kind heart and his giving out hugs if they needed. So yes i am liking him.

Happy the rabbit

This episode is really good. Actually i would have loved to see this as an episode. Because this would made a perfect horror episode. All that amazing effects how could made with just so little… just that girl with the rabbit. This is really good stuff. Big finish did a really good job with the effects to create this horror atmosphere. First i thought the story would go in a different directions. We have Hex having a nightmare about a OP and Ace almost drowning in the river. This lead the three of them to a house somewhere in the nowhere. With 3 man and 2 woman and girl. There is going something going on. Someone is dying and that is just the beginning. Of course all are mistrusting each other, people get attack and so on. The Doctor is in the middle of it with his wondefull coments and ironic way of dealing with everyone. I can’t say anymore with out actually destroying the story for you.

This Story is amazing. One of the best horror stories in the last time. Just listen to it.

Psych: Season 8

Hey Guys,

i finally watched the last season of Psych. I was really sad about the fact that this will be the last season and heart just good things about the final so i had really high hopes for it. When you now that this will be the last season you watch the show with one eye crying and one laughing. If you haven’t watched it yet go and watch this season.

The cases

The first episode are mostly the most obscure episodes ever. When you watch something like Criminal Minds and a day later you start with Psych and their are Shawn und Gus -in a Harry Potter outfit – before a ganovor. You ask yourself what you are doing. But the episode is really amazing. It is about one of the most loved character on the show the art thief Despereaux with a totally new story about the character. But can we really trust him? The season is playing with a lot of things.
We got the new chief that is not a fan of Psych or Lessi. Shawn tries to go work, like you can think it doesn’t end well. Gus is got all he had together and changed something important in his life. It goes about Juliet and her partner Lessi, about becoming a father and of course about the friendship between Shawn and Gus.

Like we started

In the second part of the season they are concentrating on the friendship between Shawn and Gus. Often it is just them and in the end Lessi. Juliet is not having a big role in the last episodes. But i love it. Because so they have enough time to actually remind us of the fact that they both just need each other in their lifes. Season one started with a big change in Shawns life. He and Gus started Psych and i am sure it is the first job he does longer than… it is the first ‘real’ job he had. He made a step to grow up. This season ends with a big decission which will change his life – just like we started.

Just Psych – nothing more, nothing less (Spoilers!)

The last episode is the end of Psych. It is the end of an era. A end of so much amazing friendships – not that they really stopped. The last episode shows us a Shawn again that is running. He is making a decission to move to his girlfriend and leave all other back in Santa Barbara. He is trying to tell Gus that this is the end of Psych. The only one that really know why Shawn is acting so strength is Lessi and it is just perfect.
In the end we got Shawn runing but he is leaving them messages. They are so sad and sweet. It feels so much like goodbye. One of the most perfect scenes is the message for Lessi. He wants to tell him that he was right, that Lessi was always right about him. But before Shawn can tell him, Lessi stop watching and broke the CD. It shows so much without words or any out of character actions how much Lessi learnt to respect Shawn in a way. It shows us how much he actually cares about them.
But it wouldn’t be Psych if it just ends like that. We all now that and we are getting our little crazyness when Gus throw everything to run after Shawn. Because he is not leaving is best friend. What actually leads to the most perfect things. At first to the question if it really the end of Psych or just the beginning. The other thing is the most Shawn like way to hold on for Juliets hand.
We don’t see a perfect world. They all made decissions this season and they all need to live with them. But it is crazy like Psych always was. It is not totally dramatic, sad or funny. It is just like every other season. It is just like Psych. I never saw such a perfect end for a serie. The end is so fitting and feeling just right. It is the end and a start. I will miss them. I know their life will be complicated alone because Shawn will make it that way but they are together and they will find their way.
Everything changed but in a way everything stayed the same. Psych you out in the end…

Agents of SHIELD

Hey Guys,

i started rewatch Agents of SHIELD Season 2 with my father. The season even hurts more when you know what is coming. I love the second season so much and when i think about season 3 i got afraid what the will make out of all this. I had high hopes for this season and now i think that maybe i will not watch season 4 and that is a sad thought. I hope so much that they will make it good. Because i need someone that calls them out on what the do. That tells us that SHIELD are not the good ones. Someone how will call Coulson out on what he is a cold murderer. I will never respect him again. I started watching this show because of my love for him but now… i wished he would have stayed dead, because he changed so much and i can never love him like that again.

But what i wanted to say is that i will again write about Ward and Fitz character developement in season 2 like i did in season 1. I hope you like it.

DW: Pier Pressure

Hey Guys,
welcome to the Big Finish main range vol 78 ‘Pier Pressure’ it featured the sixth Doctor and Evelyn (Infos about Evelyn). It plays in Brighton in the end of 1936 and takes so place after Players. In the Doctors timeline it is betweeen ‘Thicker than water’ and ‘The nowhere place’. I promised me alot from that story because Evelyn is playing in it, sadly in the first two parts she got to sit on the sideline. But actually the guest stars are fun. The voice of the character Albert reminds me of David Tennant.

We will have enough time for this

The six and the seventh doctor are gotten darker again. When we got to know Albert and his girlfriend Emily, Emily said that they had enough time for all that nonsense. So my first tought was that Albert will not survive it. Albert is cocky and jumps to every possiblity to prove himself. He wants to get to Warner Brothers. Emily on the other hand is the voice of reason. It is important to have a job and don’t play around.
I really like these two and so i like that they are in the action with the Doctor, but why does that mean that Evelyn has to sit in the TARDIS.

He will come around

This is the first time i am a little annoyed by Evelyn. In the first episode she gives the Doctor shit and don’t take any shit from him. That is the Evelyn that i love. But in the second episode the Doctor send her with Max Miller to the TARDIS and she is just going. Because the Doctor knows what he does. I think it is established that the Doctor never knows what he does. This is something that Rose would do… (Don’t get it wrong i love Rose). But why does anyone does that?

The evil

This story is dealing with a darkness that is amazing. I love storys were you don’t know if you have a happy end or not. If it is just an endless circle or will be there a winner? Where light is has to be a shadow. That are the best stories. I don’t want to tell you more than this because the end needs to be heart not read. Just one thing this story has a darkness I love about he sixth doctor. There is no holywood solution just the truth. I promised me more of Evelyn but it is an good story and hopefully we have alot more stories were Evelyn got more to do.

Torchwood: Uncanny Valley

Hey Guys,

welcome to the 5th big finish Torchwood adventure ‘Uncanny Valley’, which is a typical season one adventure. This was the weakest story so far but that doesn’t mean that it is a bad story. The Story is playing after ‘The Conspiracy‘ but i am still not sure when it should play.

I know what you are thinking

Jack is like the last time telling the story directly to us. This time it is not explained like the last time with a phone call, what actually a little sad but it doesn’t really matter. The kind of narration is placing you in the story and it gets you. It is a really good story for Jack Harkness. I for myself have enough of all the sex in the tv shows and i don’t want to tell to much but we have some here. Big Finish is here again remembers us of one thing that got a little lost in the fourth season. Jack Harkness is not gay. He likes guys, women, alien, anything you can have sex with and that was always why i liked him. Because he doesn’t care about something like race or gender. Also his way of seeing beauty is not bound to our sight. It is good that this is not forgotten.

What makes you human?

The story is nothing new but Torchwood don’t has any rules or no goes. So this is a story about someone that get something like a robot. This is a copie of him, which should do his life in the world for him because after a accident that put him in wheelchiar. Of course in this story it goes how this robot becomes kinda like human. It is his job to become like his owner but when you see them interacted or acted. They are very different from each other. But this is not what the story is about. It is more about how life can change you and that everything can turn against you. Even the comitee is not on the focus here. The Robot has to do with comitee, but we never got real information about what their plan is or what they are. It is more a drawing of a relationship that grows and breaks in the end. It doesn’t ask big questions. It makes all this question seem like it is totally normal.

It was fun to listen to John Barrowman again. Can wait for the next episode and the second season!
