DW: Season 7

Hey,
i just rewatch the seventh season of Doctor Who. The season that made want to give up on this serie. The season i fought me through almost every episode just because it is Doctor Who. For everyone that find the season good i am sorry, but for me it was bad so, so, so bad. It was the worth Doctor Who season ever. The rewatch don’t make it better… it make it worse to telling the truth.

First Part

The first part of this season is all about Amy and Rory. I was so excited for the first episode, because Daleks and than that… Amy and Rory want to get divorced can it come worse… yeah the episode is just so bad… that is real life and at the end everything is back to the perfect little life they had. Not just the first episode in every episode i have the feeling that there is no love for the characters anymore. There is character developement, and the don’t get time to shine. They just there so the Doctor can look good. This fight between Amy and Rory this could have been something great, something that they can fight for. We could have seen them proving themself to each other and not just erasing it like it never happend.

The only not bad episodes are ‘Dinosaurs on a spaceship’ and ‘the power of three’ but you just can look to close. The power of three is not logical at all, but everything else is good. Why i like the dinosaurs on the spaceship is a thing that i totally miss on Doctor Who. A group of people so different that have to interact with each other. I am still thing what a great season we could have with them as companions.

Amelias Last Goodbye

This episode could have been so good. The Weaping Angels and a big dramatic final for this amazing pair. I am truthfull i also cried by the rewatch but it could have been so much better. If the angels where just like ever and when the statue of liberty would have moved… what the fuck?!
Why had they showed this as a tragic end, why must the doctor so childish and imature to see that as losing? Amy and Rory are living a good life, a happy life, that is an happy end. They would have stopped traveling with the Doctor, they almost did the last time and we all know the Doctor stays never when they stop traveling with him. Never. He left Jo, when she got married, he never visited Ian or Barbara or even Susan.

Clara Oswin Oswad

I liked Clara a lot in Asylum of the Daleks and she was fun in the really boring Christmas Special. She is an nice character and i was really happy that she would become the Doctors Companion. I thought she become a little after Zoe. But than the first really episode came with her and Moffats takes all that away. All that knowledge she has was just a gift from her time uploaded…not herself. Also after that we don’t she her use any of it. She is just like every other companion in the new Who…doing what the Doctor expacts.
I just wanted a companion like Zoe. Which is more intelligent than the Doctor, one that things faster than him, just someone that totally can win a fight with him.

The second part

Is much worse…Clara is nice to see and they are many good ideas in it. The second episode is with the singing emotional, but the story isn’t really good. I am not a big fan of the eleventh Doctor but in that part will dislike him even more. All that impossible girl talk, all that why are you special. She is special. She is special because she is just a totally normal person. An ordinary girl with choose to travel with a stranger, which wants to see adventures, a girl that don’t run, a girl that stops and fight, a girl we see struggle with the death she is seeing. That is what makes her special and the Doctor never understand that is what makes her special not that he met her three times.

Old enimies…

The ice warrior is back. What lovely monsters they are. Than the bring them back and make everything they are wrong? Why bring him back, if you change everything? A icewarrior that left his shell and is super fast? A icewarrior you reason with. He is a warhero. An icewarrior of a team they wanted war, they loved war. When the Doctor tries to reason with him, if he wants to be know as the destroyer of earth the answer would be yes. That is what the icewarriors were. That is why the Doctor don’t like them, that is why the Doctor never believed the started peace.
So we have Daleks, Ice Warrior and that is not enough… lets make a bad story about cybermen… Cybermen that are fast and upgraded so fast… it was stupid and not scary… I dislike everything in that episode. The cybermen. The Doctor and the way he fights with the cybermen…it is nice to see all the faces but that is the only thing. Also i dislike Clara here a lot. The Doctor is at fault that the children are in danger and she just accept it? He has a time maschine. He could have brought them home and than came back. But no lets bring the kids in danger and Clara is jsut standing there and says okay. She just let him search for them and became a warrior… that is not Clara… not the Clara i like…she don’t struggle anymore.

The final

It is not so bad, but they are a few points that are stupid… and i don’t talk about the Great Intellegent stuff(which still don’t remember) that was totally stupid. I like the idea with Clara, because that is something Clara would do. But i hate that the whole season is a big friendly button. Nothing in that season has consequenzes. Jenny dead, but that Strax bring her back. Than Strax and Jenny dead again and they come back to life. Clara springs in that time stream to die but of course the Doctor brings her back. The Doctor should never visited Tranzalore but it just have no consequenzes…
Also i dislike that final wasn’t a final. It just was a prologe to the 50th anniversary special.

SJA: The Mark of the Berserker

This episode is about Luke and Clyde. It’s lovely to see them.

Sleepover

Luke and Clyde have a sleep over and we see a new side of Clyde – so is Luke. We learn that he cooks and can really good draw. Also he witnessed his father get back after five years. It hurts to see him like that. We see him hurt and he is talking about that he was blaming her for it. Even more hurtfull is it that his father looks like its all a joke. We also get a look at his pinboard with pictures of Luke.

Father and son

His father left him and his Mam and run away to germany with her sister. Now he is back and wants to see him. But Clyde don’t want him near but the more they talk he tells him that he save the world. He wants to show him that is special, that is father did a mistake by leaving him. He wants to prove himself. That is so sad.

The pendant

Rani finds a boy using a pendant that will let the people everything he wants. She get it and brings it to Sarah Jane and Clydes father steal it from there. He orded Clyde to forget Luke and Rani. Also he make him forget to call his mam. He take everything from him. His feelings for him and for his friends, for his Mum. He his so selfish and take everything that matters to him.

Special Guests

So one more good thing about about the episodes are that it have special guests. Because Sarah Jane is away, Luke is phoning Maria and his Dad for help. I love to see them. I really miss the two. The did such a good team. I really want to see them more often but that is not going to happen.

So Laurel knows know that Oliver is the Arrow and she wants to tell it her father. But her father don’t want to know. He doesn’t want to see Arrow as a human. He thinks that the man under the hood is not important. That just the Arrow is important. Laurel realize that it is different. That Oliver is important. That Oliver counts. She goes to Oliver and tells him that he is important.

StarLabs

Here we met for the first time Caitlin and Cisco. This is fun to see. I love them, they are so sweet. They seems so naive and innocent in comparison to the Arrow Cave. But they know how to protect themself. They not waiting for someone to save them. They try to find way for themself.

New recruits

Slade is going to make new supersoldiers. But he doesn’t make it with his blodd. He does it with Roys blood. Of course Oliver is saving him but it makes Roy losing control. Until now Roy had control over himself but now he lost it. He is hearing Thea, which tells him to kill her. He is totally losing it. He nearly killed Thea.

DW: Destiny of the Doctor – Smoke and Mirrors

Hey Guys,
so here we have the fifth adventure of the ‘Destiny of the Doctor‘-serie with the fifth doctor, Tegan, Nyssa and Adirc read by Janet Fielding and Tim Beckmann. It plays in England in 1920s. Adric is still alive so it must play before Earthschock.

An old friend

The Doctor meets up with an old friend: Houdini. He met the third Doctor and Jo and on another occasion he met the first Doctor, Ben and Polly. So he knows about the incarnation and the time travel. He wants to know the future. So he is an easy target for the master to set an trap for the Doctor. Her we go with another old friend the master. I like the master but this story is just a little boring.

I heart the story just a few minutes ago but it still isn’t stay with me… there is a thing with a tiger, the master taking control, the Doctor almost died and so on.

SJA: Secrets of the Stars

So we go forward in the second season. It goes about the stars and destiny.

<h2>Destiny</h2>
Many people think that stars tell you alot who you are and what your life will be. Which partners you should choose. The Story is about all that and a person that will use that to controll people. With the knowledge of the starsigns he can controll the people. First he is upsetting Sarah Jane with the talk about the Doctor. It is lovely to see a throw back scene with tenth doctor. It is sad that it was just the tenth and not the third and the fourth. Than he will take over Clyde.

<h2>Relationship</h2>
Clyde is in controll of the stars and is threathing Sarah Jane. Luke and Sarah Jane are trying to get him back. When Sarah Jane things that she needs to go, she goes and tells Clyde that he never could do it. You see him struggle but when Luke touched Clyde the power vanished. But it shows us how important the relationship between these three are. Never get tired of telling you that is such a great thing it is that they show us so much more of the relationship between Clyde and Sarah Jane.

<h2>Birthday</h2>
All that talk about birthday and starsigns Luke get upset because he didn’t  have this thing. He isn’t born. So all that makes different from all the others. He feels seperated and lonley in a way. But this will allow him to stop the ‘agend lights’. It makes him special, it makes him the savior of the world. Luke accepts that he is different and that is not a bad thing.

January 12

Arrow: S02EP17&18

Hey Guys,
this is a episode about the Huntress.

The Huntress

I don’t like her very much. She is so tiring and the whole episode is in that style. Because Oliver also becomes tiring when she is coming. He is right that she is his mistake. But i am not alone with that, because again Sara and Felicity are on my side with that.
But we become good scenes with Laurel and the Huntress. This is an episode where Laurel can shine again. Her character was on the deepest point. She hit the bottom. But know she is working again and everything seems to be good. Of course it is not so good.
Laurel is figthing with herself and she almost lost. This is where she comes in contact with the Canary.

Another of Oliver mistakes

We see one of Olivers mistakes and he is still is making them. He tells Roy that he has to break up with Thea. Roy is a person, which is like Oliver. He would do anything to protect Thea, even give her up. He believes in Oliver. Oliver is his hero, so he will do what Oliver says. This is so sad. He tries to break up with her but Thea don’t accept that, that is why he betrays her.

Thea and lies

That brings Thea in a really bad situation. Everyone is lying to her. Her life was not bad but know she is losing all that again. Roy was her pilliar. The one that helds her upright. But she still thinks that Oliver is telling her the truth. It will kill her to realize the truth.
Slade kipnapped Thea and in the end he let her go and tells her that Oliver knows that her father Malcolm Merlyn is. That will make her close up. She cuts everyone out of her life.

Roys doubts

When Thea is kipnapped, he is sitting on carbon. He wants to help her, he wants to be out there und do something. But Oliver is doing the things his way and everything Roys says is not gonna happen. Roy beginns to doubt Oliver. He things that Oliver is at fault that she is in that situation. When Thea is back, he goes and left the Arrow cave.

Everthing else

Also Lance is going into prison for the Arrow. They want him to tell the police who the Arrow is. But Lance don’t know it and even if he knows he wouldn’t say anything.
He and Moira coming clean.

DW: Companion Chronicles – Star Born

Hey Guys,

here we go with the new adventure of Vicki and the first Doctor in ‘the Companion Chronicles’-serie. It is the 9th adventure of the 8th season and play in London early 20th centuary. In the timeline of the Doctor it most be shortly after Rome, that would be ‘the romans’. That means Ian and Barbara are on board of the TARDIS. This is one of my favorite travel group.

A story about Vicki

It is like that. Of course it is really good that Vicki has such a big role because it is her story, but Ian, Barbara and the Doctor completely changeable. The role are so little that it also could be Dodo and Steven… or someone else. But Vicki is really well written and can totally shoulder the story on her own. The Story is a nice idea. Vicki get warned that when she will step in the TARDIS again she will die. The person that whats to save her is nobody else than herself. Vicki is an interessting character and make that story work really nicely.

Time

The only point i have is the time thing. How much time did they spend on that planet to develope that friendship? For me this friendship thing is to fast and not really believeable for me. Also Vicki seems to know the Doctor very well, what is a little special because she doesn’t know him very long. ‘The Romans’ is the second adventure together and Vicki hasn’t seen many side of the Doctor at that time, but she knows him in that story good enough to know he will do anything to save them. This is what takes a little away from the story. But this can only be me.

Fazit

The first story read by Maureen O’Brien (DW: Frostfire)was for deficult to listen to. This story his more pleasant to listen too. It is a really good story and Maureen did a really good job reading the story. It is sad that the role of the other are so little but it don’t take anything form the story. Vicki is shining in this episode and i can recommand it. It is a really good story.

SJA: Day of the Clown

So,

a new family moved in the Bannerman Road. Rani is the new girl and Luke and Clyde like her from the start. Even Luke has a little problem with her because he feels like she is replacing Maria. Also her father is the new headmaster, who don’t like Clyde very much.

Many children vanished and the beginn to see a clown. But not everyone is seeing them. Just the ones that have a ticket for the museum. We learn something new from Sarah Jane. She is afraid of clowns.

Rani is very interessted in the case and just can’t let it go. She is even more persisted than Maria. She is getting on my nervs with her i need to do the thing. But of course they decided to tell her the truth.

The Clown makes a big mistake. He takes Sarah Janes son and a mother don’t get defeated by fear when she can save him. They also find the weakness. Everyone have to fear something and the clown is afraid of laugther.

A good thing about Marias departure is that the relationship between Sarah Jane and Clyde is getting more time.

January 5

Arrow: S02EP15& 16

So here we go again with the next episodes of Arrow season 2.

Slade and Oliver

This episode is really fun. Slade is at Olivers home. Oliver and his mother still not talk with each other. So everytime he tries to get Slade out, she take at a attack against her. But he just want his family save. He is trying to make Slade go, but Slide is just laughing at him. Everything thing he takes to hint what happend. It is really fun to see. This is a villian like i love them.

Arrow-Team

Oliver calls the Team. It is nice to see the team work so good together. Sara realize that this is Slades voice and that he his not dead like they thought. The make a plan to take Slade out and bring the family of Oliver to savety. What ends in a really funny and suspicious scene at the end. Where Roy is coming to get them out and Sara came from above. Slade seems to surprise to see Sara to.

The fight on the Amazo

The three has a good plan to take the Amazo and it works just fine until the moment Slades finds out what Oliver did. Actually i don’t see it like the all do. Slade gives him them fault of what happend to Shado. But i don’t think that Oliver decide for Sara. He just did what he always did. He goes for the weakest. Weakest in the way of body strenght. Shado is strong, she can fight, she teached him, she always could protect herself. Sara is the one that in Ollis eyes isn’t strong enough to protect him. So he goes for her. If you watch closly you’ll see him to that all the time.

Marriege Counsling

The second season is totally only that. Lyla and her blind obedience is a big point of fighting with John Diggle. She does what they told her and there are many corpse on that way. She has point when she tells Diggle that this is not different from Oliver and Sara. In a way she is right and i always think that murder should never the answer. But what A.R.G.U.S. do is unhumanity. The professional killer is more sympatic than the organisation.
That is not just my thinking. John Diggle is also in that situation. He also saved the life of the murder of his brother. Deadshot is an really interessting character and the relationship between Deadshot and Diggle became interessting. I hope we will see alot more about it.

The reason i hate superheroes

Oliver do what he always do, he goes distance to everyone and tries to do it on his own. Most heroes do that stuff and i hate it. But this is why Sara is such an amazing character because she is don’t let him push her away. She makes him stay in the reality. Something Felicity also does from the beginning. That is why the woman are so strong in that serie because they let the man not go on their own.

Castle: Season 6

Hey Guys,

i watched with my parents the 6th season of Castle. So what to i think of it?

Long distance

I really, really love that they brought Castle and Beckett together i love them as a pair and they work just fine. But the season starts with a big problem. Becketts new job is in another town. So they start to have that longdistance relationship but it doesn’t really work. He has to do and can’t came a weekend and than she has something to do and so on. I think that is really realistic. Also we see another problem her job itself. Her job is topsecret and she can’t tell Castle any of this. This is one thing that bothers him and also that he is to curious and wants to know all the secrets.
We see this and there is just one solution and i am really happy that they never made it over a break up. The only solution is that Castle is moving to her.

Her job and the first episodes

What we see will not make her happy. This is not about not working with Castle or something like that. Because i think she really appreciate her new partner and they work good together. The Problem is that for one she don’t get the full picture. Beckett like to see the full picture. She don’t like things in the dark. Also when she worked for the police, she was angry about the people that decided to close a case because of what ever reason and now she is on the side to do that. That is something that would never made her happy. She doesn’t have more power. She is powerless against all the politics like she was with the police nothing changed.
I am happy that they brought her back. So Ryan and Esposito have a bigger role again. But for me i don’t see what this was all about?

The marrige

They whole serie is about planing the wedding and making this relationship work. It is fun to see them interact. Also it brings a lot of fun scenes, like Ryan and Esposito are fighting over being the best man for Castle. I love it. They have their problems and on one or two situations they thing if this is what they want. But what ever stands in there way, they getting over it. It is refreshing to see a relationship on TV that has the mean focus function like that.

The End

I watched the serie with my familie and my mother thought that that was the last season of Castle. She was starring at the TV when the end flicerd over it. “This is the last season! This is the last season!” It was dramatic but i could stop myself from laughing. She really believed that the serie Castle ends with his death on his wedding day. That would be such a sad end for the whole serie. But lukily this is not the last season and we all know that Castle is still alive.
