DW: Paradise Towers

Hi Guys,

lets talk about the second story with our new Doctor.

So we have different ‘tribes’ and the red one are meeting the Doctor. They live in the Paradise Tower how has at some point a place for visitors. Some things seems to happen – of course. So the met the red ones and Mel is wearing blue. So she isn’t very welcome to the red ones and it didn’t need a lot of time to get the Doctor and Mel seperated.

So there are pretty much strange people in that story. The caretaker remind me to much of the hitler time and i know that is the intant but i don’t like things like that. But there are also these nice old ladies. The first thought i had was that they want to eat Mel – do i really have to say, what happend. Also there is this guy Pex and he don’t be part of a group. He is a pussycat. Everyone is bullying him about it.

It is not a real surpires that to defeat the big bad, they all have to work together. Also the destiny of Pex is not really a surprise. So yeah the story was not mine and don’t know what i think about the Doctor. Maybe after the next Story i can tell more.

Torchwood: House of the dead

So this is a really horrible story. I love her. That is a good story but it is just to torture us. Ianto is by a seasson and tries to stop him, also Jack is there. Gwen is on the way to them. There is a medium that can let them see person their want to see. But a very bad thing reach out to come back to life and that what Jack want to stop.

Gwen thinks that something is wrong with Jack and Ianto thinks he is a little spuck. For me Jack is just like Jack. Ianto get visited by his father. The father is telling him that he waited for his call. Also she says that he should stop Jack and that everyone will be alive – Owen, Toshiko and so on. We see more inside in Ianto Jones. This is a really amazing thing.

Also it says that they can’t trust Jack and Gwen is saying that is right and Ianto have to stop it. She is totally talk Ianto into believing that Jack is mad. But Jack says that he should trust him.

So here it will became spoilers. There is a twist in the Story.

Jack tells him that he couldn’t talk to Gwen because his headset is not on and he totally trust Jack from this moment. Jack wants to close the rift forever but before they can do it. But the father of Ianto give him a chance. He tells him that they just can move away, that he can take Ianto and leave. Because can he really let Ianto die again? So he needs to tell Ianto that he is dead and it is really emotional. Because Ianto is breaking down and crying and Jack can’t just bear to look at him. Ianto is seeing through Jack. Jack wanted to close the rift but Ianto know that this is not the truth. He knows this is about Jack. This is about Jack. Because Jack can’t let Ianto go. He can’t live with the thought that the world is empty. He wants to do suicide so he never came back. But Ianto is so much more. Ianto tells him that they take the chance. But Ianto is just using this to get Jack to live. He is sacrefice himself and Jack needs to say these words. I love you… and it never break my heart like that. This Story is telling us to much about the characters. About Jack and about Ianto. If you want to cry or have a broken heart just listen to it.

DW: Echoes of Grey

Here we go to listen to the next adventure of ‘the companion chronicles’.

It is featuring Zoe Heriot and the third doctor. Zoe and Jamie had one of the heartbreaking goodbyes in the Doctor Whos histery. So this story after everything is what we all want. We want them to remember.

Zoe has a photographic memory. She was one of the companions, that was more intelligent than the Doctor. So this story starts really good, because you totally can see that this is like they tell, that she has the feeling that she forgot something.

Wendy Padbury is easier to listen as Maureen O’Brien but not so faszinating like Nicholas Courtney.

Zoe is meeting someone that know her from her time with the Doctor and she wants to help Zoe remember. Of course the story is about the adventure they met the girl. They are in something like hospitel but it is empty. Every patient get healed that is what the files say. The doctor is really suspicous about it. Zoe get separate from the Doctor and she finds a room with a few creatures. The Girl that wanted to help Zoe, tells her that she felt so connected to Zoe. I find her really suspicous.

So a journalist is search for her grandmother, who was healed but never came back. When Zoe and Jamie wants to talk to him, one of this creatures suck the life out of him. Also it seems that it know that Jamie and Zoe are hiding in that room and left them alone.

The Doctor wants to see the creatures but they vanished. So they go to search one creature in the workplace. They find something of a fluid that heals/adsorbs everything. Of course the Doctor goes to confront the people behind it.

What i don’t like about the story, that Zoe is not getting what happend. The Doctor explains it to her and the others. Zoe is so intellgent she should have get it before the Doctor explains.

But the story is really good and i love what they make out of it. The creatures are made to remove damaged zelles, and when the can’t take anymore they die. This is interessting because for one the damage zelles aren’t there they take good ones. And the second part is that the made them want to die… this is real cruel. The solution of the Doctor is also cruel, but without much choice. That is the third thing i love about the Story.

The ending of Zoe and Jamie losing all the memories where heartbreaking and i never thought that the can do that again. But the end of the story is breaking my heart and fills my eyes with tears. The offered Zoe everything, her memories, her life, to be whole again and she choose to give all that up, just to prevent this people to make this creatures again. Zoe Heriot this is an ending that take her justis. That is my Zoe i love.

i will totally buy the other stories with her.

DW: Time and the Rani

Hey Guys,

i am really excited to look this story. It is for me the start of the beginning. I will met the seventh Doctor and it is the last on that i don’t know. That means that there are only three season of classic doctor who left an the are not long seasons… I don’t know what i will do without a classic who episode everyday. First i think i will watch Sarah Jane Adventures… and maybe i will start again with the first Doctor. We will see, totally i will hear more audio dramas so Doctor Who will never really ends.

Let’s start with the story. The Regeneration is really sad… because you don’t know what happend an it is just over. But the start is a very good, because they brought back the Rani (from ‘The Mark of the Rani‘). The Rani, was a really interessting character. This time she gave the Doctor something that curse anmesia and is trying to play Mel.

Mel is make new friends on her own way. I think i really like her. Also the Rani is making a really good at her act of Mel. I love the faces she makes.  The Story i don’t i can’t say much about it yet. They actors doing an amazing play and it is fun to watch them.

The seventh Doctor seems to be sweet and really playfull. Mel is screaming a lot this Story. It is a little annoying. The Story is not so interessting but the person make it good. I hope will get the Ranis reason. Because she is not a bad time lord. She is just a cruel scientist.

I am a little disapointed i the Rani motives. She was so much better when she wanted to do her work and not playing god. But i really like her anyway. She is a great character.

I hope we will see such great characters also in the next story. See you than.

You, me & them: Season 1

Hey Guys,

i started to watch ‘You, me & them’. Of course because Anthony Stewart Head is playing the main role. I am not a fan of comedy series, but once in a while it is really nice. And i love to see Anthony.

Anthony is playing Ed and Eve Myles is playing Lauren. It’s start with Birthday of Lauren Mom’s. The family is not really a great fan of the relationship. Also they have the Ex-wife next door, a brother, how don’t like clothes, also a grandson how wants to get money from his grandfather.

It is nothing amazing but it is really a nice serie to get a pause from everything. It is fun to see the both interact with each other. Also i think that they speak about problems every pair has and of course the big one ‘do you want a baby’. What i really like is that they don’t is drama. They aren’t big misunderstandings, break ups or such thinks. It is just them and the life they try to live. They talk with each other and know what they want. There was never a situation where he thought about getting back with his ex-wife. It is really refreshing to have a show with not so much drama and overreacting. They don’t be happy all the time. They have fights and the family is not totally green with it. But that is life and thats what the show is. And of course I want to see if they choose to have a baby or if it just them. So lets wait for season 2.

Torchwood: Submission

This Story is like the other, i heart it some times but i don’t remember anything of it. Torchwood is hearing a cry under the water. The translate it and it is a call for help. Ianto Jones is calling a old friend from Torchwood 1 and they are going under water.

They found a man under the water, which move’s there. Without a suit and everything. Gwen goes out to talk with him and find out that they need a body.

The friend Ianto called was in love with him. There is a talk about Jack. Ianto is talking about Jack will let him go. She is telling him that is not person someone can easy let go and she is right. Jack can’t let go of Ianto.

The Alien is actually pretty intressting he wants to replace the memories of leaving his maide alone. He is speaking about a few things about when they know what Jack did, nobody will love him. Also about maybe Jack is crying more about Gwen then Ianto.

So it is a nice story.

DW: Rise and Fall

Hi Guys,

This is a story from the ‘short trips’. I really like the story. It featured the first Doctor and Ian Chesterton. Nothing happend in this story. Ian and the Doctor just stood there and watch. It is amazing and it is a really good described. The others, the aliens are living in a faster time line so you will get the whole story of there evelopement. The whole hystory of mankind. The Rise and Fall of a civilation.

I don’t know what i can say about it, because it only goes ca 30 min and it don’t happend much. But William Russel is doing a really good job reading the Story. I like how he read the Doctor. He has a good feeling for him. I really see the Doctor before me, when he is reading. So i can total tell you that this is worth your time.

DW: Harvest in time

Hi Guys,

after the big let down of the book with the third Doctor i got a recommend from felicityredbarrow  as a good book of the 3rd doctor. So i was really excited to read this book. It featured the third Doctor ( Joe Pertwee), Jo Grant and UNIT.

As i told you the last time, i am not a big fan of the 3rd doctor, but i love his Companions and UNIT so much, that i fall in love with this era and the doctor. One of the big negativ points in the last book were the way the characters are written. In this book the characters are really well written. Jo is never doing what she think is right, the Brig and Mike and the others are very fitting. The Part of Benton could been larger but you can’t have anything. But the best character was totally the master. You can see so much facetts of the master in this book all are totally the master. It’s totally amazing how the autor is playing with this character and the bond between him and the Doctor.

So~ the start was a bit much different perscetive, but it found a really good story flow. Everything was fitting. I really like the Story. Jo and UNIT are fighting against an invasion of aliens and the doctor has to save the master. It’s a great dynamic. The end is a little bit timeywhinny but i can live with it. So everyone who love UNIT or the master should totally read that book.

So thank you for the recommand.

See you later guys.

DW: The Trial of a Time Lord Part 4/4

Hey Guys welcome to the last part of the season.

The ultimate Foe

That is really good. Guys we have a a special guest: the master. I love it. Yeah, totally because i love the master. So the master brings Mel and one of the first adventure to the trial to ‘help’ the Doctor. He is perfect and also let slip how the Valeyard really is.

It is a really good thing, but i don’t get the Valeyards intentions. I don’t really understand how the Valeyards plan could work. Mel isn’t not a person how waits until thinks happend. She go for her sell, she has a little from Jo.

I liked the season, but the end was really bad. He is saving their lifes and everything is forgotten and the take away the strong end of Peri. They telling the Doctor in the truth Peri is alive and living a life as a warrior queen. That is totally one of the worst thinks that they did to a character.

It was made it really bad for me, just this sentence. But we know the Valeyard is still out there and in controll of the matrix.

The next episode is with the new Doctor. The last Doctor i didn’t know. We will see what i think of him.

Torchwood: The Devil and Miss Carew

Hey Guys,

i heart it before but i am not remembering anything from it. So it is now like a totally new story. This story is with Rhys. Rhys uncle died and they go there. There is something that overs people, which are dying a deal.

They are blackouts and everything seems to have to do with a Miss Carew, which seemed like she did that deal, wich Rhys uncle refused. It shows us a side of the old we don’t want to talk about. Miss Carew is an independant woman, but her illness and age make her a prisoner in her body. She needed 24 hours care and it was a horror for her.

The characters are really in character. I love the banter between Jack and Ianto. One of the best thing in the Story is Rhys noise when he tried to work on the computer.

So i totally knew why didn’t remember it. It is a nice story, nothing really deep, nothing really interessting, you can listen to it and that is okay and nothing more. That is my opinion.
