Hello Guys,

It is the sixth book of the 50th Anniversary Collection (Past Doctor Adventures) from Doctor Who and is featuring the sixth Doctor (Colin Baker) with his companion Peri.

The book is a little patchy. It goes about Churchil and a group of people trying to interfere with his history. They are trying to kill him and it seems like it is a kind of a game. We just don’t know the rules or the goal. This is the interessting part of it. The other part is Hitler again… Of course it is this time, but i have problems with the way the most medias deal with that topic. In that book it is not so bad. I don’t know much about that time in England so i don’t know who good the time is written, but it seems realistic.

What i really like is that we met old friends. The solider of ‘the war games’ for example. Also we met the second doctor again. This is an amazing good a idea and i love how they play with it. Peri have a little action for herself can totally shine. What i find a little sad is that this Doctor is so nice. Of course the Doctor lose a little of his ‘hard’ side but he is for my picture of the sixth doctor to nice. I hoped for little more sarcastic Doctor, a little snippy?!

It is nice to get a little history about Winston Churchill. I don’t feel the tension. It jsut walks slowly and it is not my thing. It is nice to have so many faces you know to see interact with each other but it is not enough.

The last chapter makes a good end. At first i thought that it was unsatisfying but i read the last few pages and thought about it, it is on of the best ends you can make i think.

The next book is Earthschock with the eighth Doctor, because the book of the seventh book of the 50th Anniversary Collection is just the book about the episode. So i watch it and i don’t need to read it.

Arrow: S02EP12&EP13

So let’s talk about the next few Arrow episode, which hopefully have a lot of Roy in it.

Teaching leasons

Roy isn’t a really good student or have any patience. Oliver can’t reach him and needs to go otherways but he is a captured in his memories of Slade. Roy isn’t good with controll, but one thing is important for him and that is the safty of Thea. So they both need a new way to get things with each other. In the right time Oliver is making the right choice and shows him, who he is and tells him to save Thea and for the moment Roy can controll it. This is maybe the first step to a function relationship between them. So he gets to know Team Arrow. I personally thing that is a good starting point.

Laurel on the edge

Laurel has a big problem. Now that he lost everything, she can’t admit that she has a problem. Her father tries to help her, her old college tried and also Olliver but nothing could go through to her. Olliver did the only thing he could think of and called Sara. We see a little more about the relationship between Laurel and Sara. Know that she knows that Sara is alive, she gave her the fault for everything and i get it. She needs right now someone to blame, because she is not strong enough to amit her problems. She tries to ran away and give her the fault is an easy way out. Also i think she is disapoint that Sara never came back or let them know that she is alive. She couldn’t be angry of her, because she was dead and she loved her. But know she is alive and ran away from her family, betrayed her with her boyfriend, let them alone with all the problem, let Laurel alone when she needed her. I think Oliver is right. All she need is time and maybe not an relationship between Sara and Olli.

New candidate

Moira is deciding that she will candidate against Blood. Why is she doing this? The reason is Thea. Thea believes in her and things that her Mom could beginn to save this city in her own way. But i actually don’t know what to thing about her. The way she is talking to Felicity is quite manipulating. But Felicity is stronger than that and tells Oliver. What makes him broke the personal relationship with his mother. He don’t know her anymore and don’t want to hear more of her lies. But also he decided to keep Moiras secret that Theas father is Malcom Merlyn.

DW: Battlefield

So, i love this episode because the Brig is playing in it and UNIT is there again. A UNIT without the Brig. I really have big expetations. The Brig is in retirement but he goes back when he hears that it is about the Doctor.

This Story had a cross over with other demension. With Arthur and Mordrid and they are knowing the Doctor as Merlin. So it is fun to see all people recognize the Doctor as Merlin. But the best part is that the Brig also recognized the Doctor.

It is really lovly to see the Doctor and the Brig interact. It is so sad we can’t see the Brig with another Doctor. He is perfect and he brings Bessie. The Story is for my taste a little to much magic, but i really like everything else. UNIT Stories where alway the best because of the characteres. And the Characteres have not losed anything. It is sad that Benton is not also back. But as long we have the Brig i am happy.

For everyone which love the Brig, this is a really good story. The Brig is amazing in it and it did him really justiz. The Doctor is really cold. He fight with words and that is amazing but he also is distant. He choose a side and don’t have any thoughts about the enenmy. He no longer tries to safe everyone.

Long live the Brig and UNIT.

Arrow: S02EP10 & EP11

So Guys,
we go back in time after seeing The Flash Pilot, this Arrow episodes play when Barry is in the coma. So lets see what happen in them. Felicity for the first time is watching Barry in the hospital.

Trouble in paradise

Team Arrow is tense. This serum Mirukso is still out there and the big bad also. Oliver can’t find any clue to find him. This is eating at him. Also that Roy has gotten the serum. Felicity is visting Barry what is the reason for a fight between them. Oliver tells her that she is not with the head in the game and that it is her fault that the bad get away. Is Oliver jealous? Maybe Diggle is also saying that this problem with Felicity started when Barry had interesst in her. What is going on is a good thing. He feals helpless. For a long time he fought alone and now he has people he trust and relay on them and when they are not there he isn’t feeling whole.

Adrealine

Roy changed after he got the serum. He has a lot of energy and is working very much. He is healing very fast and have power that are not natural. He saved Moira from steel beam. Thea is seeing this things but Roy just don’t want to talk with her. He goes to Sin and want to go after the bad guys on his own. This totally backfiring. Because when take him out he totally lost controll and nearly killed him. He didn’t let Thea help him but when the Arrow is coming and offering him help, he wants to get it. He is broken, he don’t want to hurt people. He never wanted to lose control like that.

New leagues

As the Arrow Oliver and Blood are want to make an leagues to save the city. We already know that he is the bad guy but Oliver don’t and he begann to trust him. Laurel on the otherside seems to be on his side but tries to find the dirt on him. Laurel is sitting now on the bench. Because they got caught because of drug property. Nobody is believing her now. To erase every doubt. Blood let kidnaped Laurel and let his right hand to take care of her and the sacrifice him. So everyone things that he did what Blood did. It functioned for now.

Arrow: S02EP08&09

Hi Guys,
i am really excited because i saw someone that just looked like ‘the flash’ what means that he will be in that episode of Arrow. This is the episode Barry Allan is coming.

Barry Allan

He is sweet. The first few scenes with him, let me like him. Felicity also likes him. They are totally sweet wih their flirting. Also is very interested in Arrow and he is getting a few things right about him. He is not totally what he says he is. But he have a tragic backstory that makes sure that he believes in something supernatural. He understands things when he sees them. He knows that Felicity is totally lost on Oliver and he gets it. What i love about it is that he don’t try to talk her out about it, or tries to win her over or somethings. He just calls her and tell that he understand and when ever she decide that Oliver is not her guy anymore, he will just a phone call away.

Dream-Team

Sin is calling Roy, because a friend of her vanished and she wanted the help of Arrow. But Thea tell her that Roy will help her and that she will join him. The find a clue that makes a conaction to Blood. Oliver shoot Roy to slow him down, but the three don’t want to stop. Thea goes to Laurel to ask her for help and she begann to see closer to thinks. The Dream Team is faster at the trust than anyone else. So Roy is going to find out more but they found him and inject him with the serum. He survived and that is a good thing.

The Island

Shado gets to know Sara and learns who she is. That means there is trouble in paradise. Also they tells us that the guys totally getting the same serum that they are searching on the island. Oliver tells them that everyone is died how get that serum. They gave Slade the serum but he seems to have died.

They got caught again and the bad guy wants him to choose between Sara and Shado. He can’t choose and tried to make him stop. When he wants to shoot Sara Oliver shield her, so the guy shoot Shado. It has such a great realtionship and i am really sad that it ended in such a way. Also it is sad that we won’t see much of her again. But we will see much more about Slade, because he is not dead. He wants Oliver to suffer for Shados dead.

Oliver and the three ghosts

Oliver starts seeing Shado and talk to her. She wants him to stop fighting, also to warn him that all his friends will die. Also he starts to see Slade and fight with him or is with his imagination. The last ghost he sees is Tommys and Tommy is so much my favorite. He tells him to fight back. To stand up and do what he always do fight for survive. He tolds him that he fought for Tommy. Rest in peace Tommy Merlyn, the best friend Oliver could ever have.

Arrow: S02EP6&7

Here we are again to talk about Arrow and what happen in the next two episodes.

Diggle and Deadshot

We learn more about Diggle in that episode. The agent we met before is his exwife. I am not a fan of that, because i liked his girlfriend. His Exwife is searching for deadshot and his getting into trouble. She lands in prison in Moskau. Oliver learns and goes to help Diggle to get her exwife out. So we get really much Diggle action because he needs to go into prison to get her out. Oliver has to sit back and wait. In the prison goes some wrong because of Deadshot and so Diggle was to work with him to find her. Also Deadshot tells him that someone payed him for killing his brother.

Unhealthy Relationship?

Thea is breaking up with Roy because it could put the trial of her mother in danger. This is why the relationship is for both sides not health but i really wish them luck. Her mother don’t let her do that and make sure they get back together. This is a really good decision because she knows what her daughter needs. But also he is the one that helped Thea to surivive this. Because he makes sure she let her anger out.

Malcolm Merlyn back in town

That is the best thing that happend. Merlyn is back in town. He make sure that Moira win her trail and talk to her. He is Thea father and that will be something that will hit Thea really hard, when she will find out.

The Island

Slade is real bad hurt and Shado is doing everything that she can do to help him, but it don’t stand good for him. Oliver learns that he can’t trust Sara, but also saves her anyway. The learn that the people of the ship search for serum. A serum that makes people supersoldiers. Maybe that is what can save Slade. Also it is 100% sure that this serum is also what Blood gives to the bad boys, who has now some guys who survived the serum.

Felicity

She get herself in danger again. She falls into the hands of the Count – the drugdealer, which wants to kill Arrow, like someone else Sebastian Blood. To save her Oliver and no choice to kill again. He never wanted to kill again. Felicity feels guilty about it. But Oliver tells her that there was no choice. That is so much stronger than what he says in german.

DW: The Greatest Show in the Galaxy

Welcome to a new story,

i like the beginning. It beginns with the circus director who welcomes as to ‘the greatest show of the galaxy’. Again we have very special costumes and special characters. The Doctor is getting junk mails. It is really fun to see the reaction of the Doctor and Ace. I didn’t get warm with Ace, but i really like the Doctor. He is a playful person and also really, really dark and i find it really interessting to see it.

We see this side never like that before. No Doctor destroys thinks and person with so much self-satisfaction than this Doctor. He is so proud of himself for all he did. That is really amazing to see this become the Doctor. I know i said that before, but i really love that fact.

Even if i don’t like Ace i like that the way she is shown in these story. She is really afraid about the circus und i like how insecure she is, but i don’t like that her answer to everything is violence. (Yeah, i know i write that before but this is what is important for me)

But i like the greatest show of galaxy. They are special characters and you don’t which is on which side and what they what. There is a mysterium and i really  like the play with all that things. We have professors, Harlekin, Werwolves and robots. There is something for everything.

This is my favorite story so far from the seventh Doctor.

Arrow: S02EP4&5

Welcome back to Arrow. This episode is all about Sara Lance and the weights of secrets. The new villian or hero is Sara Lance the dead sister of Laurel. It seems like Oliver didn’t know about her alive. He knows that she don’t drowned, but he thought that she died later. So he is surprised to see her again.

Sara Lance and her family

She came back to the city to see if her family was okay. But she doesn’t left after that an keeped an eye on her family. It seems that there is more about her than it seems. There are people that are searching for her but she don’t want to go back – whatever back is. She is fighting with the Arrow but she is not like him. She is like the Oliver in the first season maybe even worse. She showes us how different she and Oliver are. Oliver is letting the hurt go. He beginns to live again. Now in that season he understands that he is alive, that he survived. The don’t die on that island. Her family has big problems. Her father seems to face his but Laurel is running away. She is drinking and she didn’t let them help her.

We get to know more about Sara. After Oliver thought that she is died, she was rescuced by the wrong people and became part of the ‘League of Assassions’. This League is wearing the same clothes as Malcolm Merlyn. To protect her father she tells him that she is alive. He shows her that she is loved whatever she does. We see what family can mean.

Also we see how she survived the storm.

The Big Bad

The bad boy in this episode get captured by Arrow and Sara. So he will get into prison, but we will learn that this is not where he is coming. There is the big bad with mask, which gives him a neddle with something in it, but this one died. Whatever that is, it is not what it should do. Also we see how is behind that mask. It is Sebastian Blood. Just when you thought that maybe is not so bad like he seems. We see that he will be totally the bad in that season. We don’t know if he is the big bad or if he had someone above him.

Roy and Thea

Roy met the friend of Sara. Sin knows that Roy works for the Arrow. Of course Thea don’t know that. But the get involved in that shooting. Roy and Thea don’t get hurt but Sin is. Roy is reacting fast helped her and send Thea to call the ambulance. So he saved her. Thea is telling him that is still a hero, because he saved her. I think it is really important that Thea believes in him.

Arrow: S02EP3&4

Hi Guys,

the second season of Arrow arrived and now i am watching it on DVD. The Box with both season are not really beautifull but better than what we can be here in Germany. So yeah i am back at watching Arrow in english. I can tell you that it is a big changeover again. But i love to hear Colton Haynes original voice again. I will watch it like it is to see in German. So every week two episodes.

But now let’s talk about the new episode.
Roy Harper totally my favorite character after that tragic death of my favorite character Tommy Merlyn. Roy is a stupid little boy that want to change the world. He wants to make a different. He wants to protect them all. He wants to stop losing people. He loves Thea and he wants to be with her but he never can just watch. He needs Thea, do be his rock. Do be the one that holds him back. Thea needs him as her rock and him to help her let her anger and fear out. They need each other. But they are really bad on the other side. Thea lost so much people in her life and had to live on her on. That she can’t lose someone again. She needs someone, which don’t bring himself in danger again and again. Also to protect the one she loves she is ready to do anything also let him go. But he needs someone, which don’t let him go.
To take him a little out of the line of fire, Oliver as the Arrow is making him his informant. So the team Arrow is getting bigger. I really excited to see him interacted with Felicity and the others.

Laurel has changed sides. She is hunting the Arrow and wants him caught. Because she gave him the fault of Tommys death. The ironic is that her father, which tried the whole season one to catch him is now taking his side. He wants someone to help him making the city better and saver again. He don’t care who is helping him. That is an interessting dynamic.

Sebastian Blood is the hero in shining amor. But he has something on him that makes him totally unsympatic.

So the second part of Arrow is the past on the island. We see more interaction with the three. We see a really good and deep relationship between Oliver and Shado. This is really nice to see. Slade seems to be jealous of them. Also of course there are coming new bad guys to that island.

DW: Survival

This is the last Doctor Who Story for me. That is really sad. I am at the end and i don’t want it to end. But after that i will rewatch the film, because he is the real end and i will write about it. But i  can tell you i am not a big fan of the movie but of the Doctor. Paul McGann is an amazing doctor.

Okay, i like Ace a little more in the Story. She is anouyed at one point of the Doctor. He is havening problems with Cats and is not a real surprise that the Master have a play in it. I love stories with the master. Ace wanted to know what her friends are doing. So they go back to eart in the preesnt. People vanished into. There are this creatures and also it seems like thereis something like a sickness. The Master get yellow eyes and not just the Master. Everyone. It is a really good Story. Doctor Who would be awesome when it when it would be going on.
