Torchwood: Visiting Hours

Hey Guys,

here we go with the new season of Torchwood – Visiting Hours . I was really excited about it because really Rhys William deserves his own adventure. He is amazing and such a great character that definitly deserves the screen time. Truth be told Rhys is one reason i hate Gwen so much and the only reason i can accept her. The way she treated Rhys in the first two seasons was… alone for that. But Rhys loves her and that makes her acceptable.

On his own

Rhys always gets his stuff done. We have seen him deal with alot. When he found out about Torchwood his whole life changed but with all that shit going down, he never stoppt being himself and believe in the world and see the good things.
Look at Owen or Tosh Torchwood made them cynical. Torchwood changes people. Rhys is not looking away. He is always trying his best. Yes i love him. Here he got now is adventure on his own. Sadly i think the could have done more with it. Rhys is alright on is own. Of course he is not totally alone.

What happens

Rhys is spending a night in the hospital with his mother. He runs into something suspicious and is trying to find out what is going on. So he ends with his mother on the run in the floors of the hospital. That is the sad stuff. I really like the Mum stuff. She is just right mix of annoying and totally lovely. The story is not bad also… it is just… it could be more. This story just scratched the survice.

This is actually the first time i listend to a Torchwood adventure and thought that could have been more. So i am really sad that this is a adventure with one of my favorite characters that really didn’ got enough time to shine. He is amazing and i hope we will have alot more adventures with him.

DW: The Girl who loved Doctor Who

Hey Guys,

I couldn’t resist and bought me bundle of digital comics of Doctor Who on Humble Bundle and one of the comics were ‘The Girl who loved Doctor Who. This comic is with the 11th Doctor. It is a titan comic by Paul Cornell and drawn by Jimmy Broxton. The Story is 40 pages long and is a story stands alone. It takes place somewhere after the goodbye of Amy and he doesn’t have a new companion yet. So it is somewhere before Clara or when he already met her but not traveled with full time.

Thats how the story goes…

The story is quite easy and actually nice. The Doctor has again problems with his TARDIS and lands in a parrallel universe. This parallel universe is our real world, where the Doctor is just a story, a TV-Show. Everyone is thinking of him as Matt Smith. There is a 10 year old girl, which met him and take him home to show him everything. She is angry with him because she knows the Doctor is not real and want that Matt Smith stops playing. This girl is a full time fan. Because she watched and have every episode of Doctor Who even the classics. Of course there is monster and also the little girl gets bullied by a few boys.

Reading or not

You can read it. The story is sweet and nice. But it is nothing more than that. The story is not really deep. I mean the plot is promising and could have been really deep about facing your problems and things like that, but it isn’t. This story could be alot better when they got deeper into it. Also i have a problem with the drawings. Truth be told i like the Manga drawings and Comic drawings are quite different. But here my biggest problem is that this girl doesn’t look like 10 years… she looks so much older at times and i really dislike it. But that is just my taste.

Torchwood One – Before the fall: Uprising

Hey Guys,

welcome to the last part of ‘Torchwood One – Before the fall’. This is the story were everything comes together. Yvonne found out what Rachel is after and is making herself ready for the war. I will not write very much about it. Because this is not very different form the two adventures before. We still deal with the same characters. The focus is still on Yvonne and Ianto.

The way of telling the story is still the same of the other two. Yvonne is show how good she is and his doing her dirty work herself to take back Torchwood One.

Ianto one the other hand needs to deside on which side he is. Does he believes in Yvonne and help her or does he choose to stand with Rachel in the final fight?

So yeah the story is great and amazing. I don’t want to spoil you anything so just go and listen to this amazing 3parter.
It made me smile and cry… it has everything a good story needs.

Torchwood One – Before the fall: Through the Ruins

Hey Guys,

welcome to the second part of this Torchwood adventure – ‘Torchwood One – Before the Fall’. The first part was out of the sight of Rachel. Now that we actually now that Rachel is not what she seemed and she got Yvonnes job, the second story is mostly about Yvonne and Ianto.

Ianto Jones and his day out

This is why i really love this story. Because we got to see alot about Iantos life. We met is roommate and what he tells him about his life. We see him interact with his friends at Torchwood. Ianto is with his two friends out on ‘field day’ for team training. To see Ianto so full of life and without that darkness in him is everything. I love the Ianto we met in the Torchwood serie. But this Ianto is not broken and it is so good to listen to it.

Yvonne cleans up

The other part of the story is not any less good. I really love Yvonne. The way she handles things. You never know if she is really good or not. She isn’t for killing innocent but she also is ready to do everything. Yvonne is such a great and interessting character. In this story she is the ‘good’ one. She is trying to find out what Rachel is up to and how she can stop her.
Also what i really love is the respect that Yvonne has for Ianto. Since Torchwood is her whole life, she doesn’t have many people in her life. But she has a deep respect and trust for Ianto. This i really love, because it shows how much she cares about people. It shows has another side of her.

Listing or not

The solid story became an amazing story. Because now the focus is on the best characters in Torchwood One. Really this story is everything i hope from this adventure. So yeah this is a definitly need to listing to this amazing story. Ianto and Yvonne are the best.

Doctor Who: S10x01/02

Hey Guys,

Doctor Who is back on again. I wasn’t really excited about this season. Truth be told i thought about not watching this season and just start when Chris Chibnall is taking over. Season 9 of Doctor Who was soooo bad and the two christmas special were soo boring that i had very low expections.

So why watching this season when i am so disapointed in Doctor Who for seasons?

Because i am one of the watchers that don’t think you can start with any season. I am a watcher that think that Everything the Ninth Doctor was he was because of the War Doctor. Everything the Tenth Doctor was get backs to what the ninth Doctor was going through and so and so. I am not a fan of Matt’s Doctor but he was the logic developement from the Tenth Doctor.
I think that everything that makes the Doctor the Doctor is found in the season before. So if i just don’t watch a season i miss a part of who the new Doctor will be and i just can’t do this. I watched every freaking Doctor and i didn’t love all of them but i always loved the show and Moffats nearly ruined it for me. I know there are people out there who loves what Moffats did to Doctor Who and that is there right. Also i don’t think that he is a bad writer for single episodes i just don’t think he can write an overall story i like. Also he has a different way to see the Doctor than me.
For me the Doctor never was a hero… for me he will always be the grumpy old man, who run away with his granddaugther and learnt from two amazing teacher that you should help people. He is deep down a good person. He believes in the good but he also knows how the world function. He knows that sometimes there need to be sacrefices. He was a person who never looked back on the sacrefices he made to save himself and his companions or he couldn’t stop looking back.
Sometimes he is a lonely god… but never a hero – or at least not in the way most people use it.
There was always a time something doesn’t sit right with me. I disliked the third Doctor but the way he was with his family with UNIT made him grown on me even when i disliked his character. I was so annoyed by the fourth Doctor. The way the epiosdes with the sixth Doctor was made was just horrible and boring to watch.

I never stopped watching i don’t stop now and i got surprised

Like i said i had so low expections. But episode were not bad. I was surprised in a good way. There is a few stuff i don’t get or don’t remember. That promise thing. Who did he promise to stay on earth – i tried to remember if he promised Clara or Me – but after that he already traveled with River and with Nedal. Soo i just feel like i forgot something.
Apart from that the first episode was really not bad. Losing Clara and River had changed him and i like the way he tries to make Bill – the new companion – stay save. Of course it never is going to work. Both stories function pretty good and the best thing about them is there is no big bad thing. It is just different.

A new student

I liked Bill from the start. She is totally sympatic and speaks her mind. Sometimes there are silly questions and she get stuck on the smallest things but that is what i love about her. We are in a colony away from earth with emoji robots with out any sign about life and she hangs on the fact he has two hearts. So yeah i really like her. Everything i heart about her before was that she was a lesbian – point taken i didn’t informed myself about anything about the season. The first lesbian in the TARDIS as a companion. My first thought was that why the first one? Doesn’t nobody remember Tegan and Nyssa?! But yeah they never said that they were together. They just always seemed like it.
My second thought was who cares. Don’t get me wrong this isn’t about the fact that she is a lesbian. This is about the fact that it was said like it was a characteristic. With Clara there were words like smart, adventures… and with Bill lesbian? If she likes man, woman or both has nothing to do with her character and that is what didn’t sit right with me – like i said i didn’t informed myself so maybe there were really characteritcs know.
But Bill is amazing and her character is great.

The episodes

The story of ‘the pilot’ was good. I liked it. What i didn’t liked was the way the Daleks were used. It was just unnessassary and doesn’t make them scary again. Also i am happy that they are not more in the episode because i am afraid what Moffats will do to them next. He ruint my favorite enimies and make them a laugh number. He rewrite the story to make Davros bad… and totally changed the way the Daleks were made… but this is another theme.
Beside the Daleks the story were great.
The story of ‘Smile’ was good too. I hate the idea of the emoji-robots. I am really annoyed by the emojis in general. But the idea is great and like the way it is told. It has no surprising turns but it is sad and human. The robots reacted more human than it is said in the story. Feelings are always very difficult and the way it is dealt with in this episode is good. It will never be one of my favorite but i would watch the episode again and have fun doing it.

In the end…

Torchwood One – Before the fall: New Girl

Hey Guys,

there was no way i couldn’t listen to the radio play Torchwood One – Before the Fall. It is a full-cast drama with three parts. It is the normal packaging as the other Three-Parter. Ianto Jones alone is a good reason to actually listen to it. But after the Torchwood Drama ‘One Rule’ i totally fall in love with Yvonne. So two lovely person in one adventure about the fallen Torchwood One. How could i say no?

I am Rachel Allen

The first episode is out of the perspective of a new girl. Rachel Allen seems like a nice girl that is totally exceited about working for Torchwood. I am not a big fan of her but she seems interessting enough. She interacts alot with Ianto Jones so this not really bad. We also good a few hints of Lisa. The Story is about how she deals with working in Torchwood. Friday night the colleges met and enjoy the evening. At these event Rachel hears a rumor and after that get Reconed. Someone in Torchwood seems to work for someone/something else.

Listing or not

The story is solid enough. It has alot of Ianto and alot of Yvonne in it and that are good reason for actually listing to it. Ianto is Yvonnes personal assistant and him working with Yvonne is one thing i actually need more about. The story is okay. It is nothing special. I am not really into the character of Rachel so it is not a story that completely captured me. But it is solid and has really amazing characters in it and there is more to everything than we thought. So yeah listen to it.

Torchwood Outbreak – Stage Three Invasion: Kill

Hey Guys,

welcome to the last part of Torchwood Outbreak were everything gets together. Everyone is coming to Cardiff Castle (which be the way really beautiful and totally worth a visit).

They warn people to…

The people in charge find out that Jack got infected and got his body to the place Andy is already. Gwen is on the way their and infected. Ianto met the first infected and make his way to the Cardiff Castle. Rhys aready figured out that Gwen wants to kill him…
The people in charge starts to ‘hand out’ the cure…or is there really one?
I really can’t say anything else without telling you to much.

Listing or not

It is the final episode of this story and it is amazing. Not so much fun like the second but it is quite the dramatic finale we know about Torchwood. Every episode is really good but as a whole story they are even better. Everything is quite clear in the end but there is just one thing that is still a mystery and maybe will always be a mystery: Norton Folgate.
This is Torchwood with everything we love and i can’t wait for the third season of Torchwood to start. With alot of stories i didn’t know i wanted sooo badly.
A word about the packaging. It is like the most Boxes of Big Finish. Three single CD-wraps and around them there is cardboard cover. Nothing special but good enough to look not bad.

Torchwood Outbreak – Stage Two Prodromal: Love

Hey Guys,

welcome back to the second and amazing adventure of Torchwood Outbreak. The second episode is amazing and i love it. I am already listing to it the second time in a row. It is fun and dramatic. It just have everything i love about Torchwood and everything i learnt to love about Torchwood when Big Finish started.

Pretty Boy against Pretty Boy

The second part of the story of Outbreak is mostly about Ianto and Jack. Jack is infected with the virus and looked himself in but something got wrong and Ianto is no trapped inside with Jack. Jack has a few flashbacks and we learn that he knew Norton Folgate and seems to be responsible for the ‘virus’ the first time.
Ianto our pretty boy get the what-ever-protector to actually talk to the other pretty boy Norton Folgate.
Norton Folgate is an amazing character and is always fun. Norton is involved in the whole ‘Good-Thinking’-Projekt. The funny thing about all this is you never know if Norton is lying or telling the truth. We never know on which side he is on and that makes him so a great thing. You just don’t know what he will do next.

Others

Gwen doesn’t have a real role in this episode. I am sure that this will change in the third and last adventure. Like i said the most part is about Ianto/Jack and Norton. But we also got a little of Rhys and also Andi who gets himself in really bad situation. Of course Rhys tries to do something stupid.

Listing or not

Oh my god go and listen to this episode. Norton is a good reason to listen to it. He makes the story so much more fun. There is nothing i love more than Nortons unhelpfull coments.
Also it is a really amazing Ianto and Jack story. I got so many feelings about them. Sometimes the way the two love each other is killing me. Right now i have so many feelings about this pairing. Also my ship is sailing: Norton is asking for Andi.

‘You never will just be a blip in time, Ianto Jones. Not for me.’

Torchwood: Outbreak – Stage One Incubation: Know

Hey Guys,

welcome to the Torchwood Adventure ‘Outbreak – Stage One Incubation: Know’. I am so happy that i actually found the time to start listing to it. As many of you already know i am totally in love with Torchwood and even more with the Big Finish stuff. Outbreak is a adventure with three parts and also a full-cast radio play. It plays after the second season and before ‘Children of Earth’. So we have an adventure with Jack, Ianto, Gwen, Rhys and Andi.

Story

Like the name suggest it is about something that spreads like an epidime. We know not much about it. Just that one infected person got arrested by Andi and wants to talk to Torchwood. We all know that Torchwood is in Cardiff an open secret. This infected person seems to have killed someone because he is full of blood and he always asked for his wife – so i think he actually killled the wife about that is just what i think. Also the skin is twitching… and it spreads fast.

It doesn’t happen much in this episode. It is more of prologue were you got the feeling for the story and the whole action will be – hopefully – in the other two episodes. The episode is not boring far form it. Because we love all the characters.

Everyone gets their time

Gwen and Ianto are going to handle a few curios reports that escaleted pretty fast. We got alot of – i have problem finding the right word – snipping at each other like their were together.
Jack is going to the station and talk to the infected person. Jack gets to interact with almost everyone like always.
The amazing thing is that we got so little scenes not just about the story but about the characters. We got Rhys and we got Andi deal with everything. Everyone has their scenes.

Listing or not

It is hard to say more about the episode without telling to much. It is just Torchwood we love and the characters we love. So yes go and listen to it. The first part sets an interessting setting and i am really excited to see were they are going with that story.

DW: Dark Eyes 4 – The Monster of Montmarte

Hey Guys,

welcome to the second adventure of the Dark Eyes 4 Box The Monster of Montmarte. Again it is with the eighth Doctor and Liv which are now not searching for Molly but the TARDIS. So we are still in 1921 but they traveled to Paris. This story is bringing the first story into the whole Dark Eyes story. They are all conacted to a big story.

Welcome to Paris

Like I said before Liv and the Doctor are searching for their TARDIS. For that reason they split up to cover more ground in shorter time. When the Doctor met an artist which is telling him about the monster that is going around Paris and brings him to the Red Pagoda. Liv get followed by suspious peopel, which she of course notice every fast. They want to make a deal with her and the Red Pagoda is playing a role in it.
The Red Pagoda is like the moulin rouge and has this establishment something to do with the artists which vanish in Paris.
I can’t tell more about the story without spoiling the story.

Listing or not

I would say this is one of the weaker stories of the Dark Eyes Story. But Liv and Doctor have time to shine in it and go their own ways. The characters are nice and interessting. So it makes definitly up for the weaker story (it is still a good story). Also it makes sure to conacted the story of these box with the stories before. What makes the story so much better again.
