DW: The Stone Rose

Hey Guys,
now that i sadly had read every book of the ‘New Serie Adventure‘ with the ninth Doctor, i started the Stone Rose the first book of the serie with the tenth Doctor. The Story takes place in the 120’s the ancient Rome. Rose and the Doctor are travling there because Mickey found in 2007 a statue looking like Rose. This first part the big family trip to the national museum is really funny. But watch holds the rest of the book for us.

Who is it?

I don’t know how it was when the book was publiced. But i think it was like now with the twelfth Doctor. That the author had to writte about the new Doctor without really nowing him. The get a little information and had to work with it. I hope that it is that way. Because i don’t find the tenth Doctor in that book. There are little things like the Doctor trying to adjust to the time he visit. I don’t think i can recall any Doctor that would’ve done that. The Tenth Doctor visit greek in his coat and chucks… he never change, the tenth Doctor is an extremly emotinal Doctor. Here i doesn’t see this in him. The tenth Doctor is the Doctor that is part of the family. He is staying for dinner with Rose and her Mam. He is building a conaction to Mickey. He is not the one anymore that goes out searching the adventure on his own.

Fortuna

We have Rose as goddess Fortuna, a missing person, a slave that seems to see the future or not, a artist that makes skupltures with out even working on it. We all know how is most suspecious to be the suspect in this missing case. In the end we have alot of stuff going on and the whole story becomes a big paradox. Too much for my liking but the book did something i really like. The Doctor got a lot of time to have an adventure on his on and Rose have hers too. That is not oven the case. Also i apprechiat the way Rose is portrayed from the Doctor. She is a lot like the describe Fortuna. This is Rose. She is not the perfect girl. She can be for a few people like goddess or just an ordinary girl, she can be nice and cruel. She left Mickey… i really like Rose, but to often people forget that she was cruel to Mickey. That she broke his heart and than always gave him hope for more. We should remember her good sides and her bad sides, and she had like every human being alot of flaws.

DW: The Clockwise Man

Hey Guys,
so here we go with the first adventures from the New Serie Adventures The Clockwise man. The ninth Doctor is visiting with Rose London in October 1924 to see the British Empire Exhibition. The Story takes place after the story The Unquiet Dead. Rose reverse alot to it in the Story.

Tick, Tock, goes the clock…

Tick, tock, this is also how the story goes it is stedy it have no ups and downs, it just goes tick, tock, … Also you may have sensed it, it goes about the clock-robots (what was their name?). We see them in episodes like ‘The Girl in the fireplace’ or ‘Deep Breath’ but they accured also in earlier stories like ‘The Mind Robber’. I never was a big fan of them but they work mostly in the stories very well.
They story has his turns but it turns so slow that you can see them coming in the long way. To be honest the ‘biggest’ twist i didn’t see but i wasn’t surprised because if you look clearly it was scream in your face. Most of the time you are just to focused on the kid.

The little Prince

The Story about the kid – Freddie – isn’t important at all. I love Freddie he is sweet and you can so feel with him. He is the best in this story and sometime i was very afraid that he will not survive. I most saw to my shame that i like Rose totally don’t make the circle but the haemophilia. This was really sloopy reading on me side. For Freddie it was worth reading the book.

So this book is some of the really weak books, but it has Freddie in it and he is a really good character.

DW: Dark Eyes 3 – Rule of the Eminence

hey Guys,
here we go with the last part of Dark Eyes 3 and it is a little let down, but we still have Dark Eyes 4.

Structure

This seems like it is the end of the story, so maybe it will look better when you know what happens in season 4. But this is built up like the last chapter. The story is built again like we don’t know what really happend. We are sometime after the war, that isn’t the end, because the master planed all that. Through the story we always get the little ‘newslashs’ that got really on my nervs.

The characters

Liv got healt in a sentence… i really dislike that. Molly is having his great showdown. She is totally amazing and all they write about her is totally in character and let her shine. Because she is Molly, just Molly. She doesn’t want to be a hero or save the world. She just want to keep is friends safe, she want to help people, she want to travel with the Doctor. But the Doctor says goodbye to her. I really hope that this isn’t the last of Molly.

I can’t say more about it… because what ever i really thing about it, is conacted the last for stories. For my the whole stories don’t seems to get in line… but we will see…

DW: Sands of Time

Hey Guys,
i was fighting with this Doctor Who Book ‘Sands of Time’. It is the 22th book of the Missing Adventure Serie and get her print in the Monster Collection. The 5th Doctor is traveling with Tegan and Nyssa and it takes place after Adrics death. The whole is playing in very different time periodes.

Different Times and persons

The biggest problem of the book is that it has to many different times and views to tell. We have two sides of the view of different people. It springs in time and people and you don’t now where, when and who you are. Also nothing of this seems logic because everything the Doctor does he did because he did it before. So in this story doesn’t seemed to be a beginning and an real end. With the time everything gets clearer but i hate to read such little croutons…

An endless circle?

There is a lot of stuff not explained – just a few little things that bother me. Also this story is a circle kinda like the novel Festival of Death. It is not clear were the start point is and were the end, because the do things because they now they do it. But why did they do it in the first place? The bad people do things because they now they happend… but were did it all start.

Nyssa and Tegan

I am not a big fan of these both companions. But this book is not nice to the characters. Tegan has a little to do, but mostly she is bored and Nyssa just has do be a mummy… so they don’t have a good character arc any moments to shine. The only good thing about the book is how they play with the stories in tv serie – like Pyramids of Mars and Black Orchid

SJA: The Gift

Hey Guys,
after a long pause i try to get my routine back and start to watch everyday a episode of Sarah Jane Adventures and after Doctor Who from the beginning. So here the final of the third season of Sarah Jane Adventures.

Old enemies

Like the Daleks and Cybermen always return to fight the Doctor, we have in Sarah Jane Adventures also such an enemy and this are the Slitheen. I don’t understand why but they always are back. The are not the best aliens they had. But the author seems to like them really much.

Illness

Luke is getting ill and is so taken out of the adventure. Sarah Jane is worrying about him. So this two are a little ocupied and Rani and Clyde have to find a solution on their own. This was nice to see, but it is not so good when you know what will happen in the next season…

Great Ideas

In the serie are great themes, they are always on the side. Like do we have the right to judge a species about a few we know? Are all Slitheens or other families from the planet bad because one is? Isn’t than the human race also bad? Because we have a lot bad people.
But it always goes about friendship and love and this is one of the reason i will always love this serie.

DW: The Blood Cell

Hey Guys,
i read the first book of Doctor Who with the twelfth Doctor – the blood cell. It is part of the New serie Adventure and take place somewhere when Clara and Danny are already dating. I would say it has to be after he was the janitor. Because she is talking about bringing the Doctor with her to school. I read the book in one day, i think that says alot about the book.

My Adventures with the Doctor

This book is complete written in the first person. It is little special, because the athor choose a person we don’t know. Also it is not real a sypampty carrier. He is the Governor of a prison, where the Doctor is send in. So the Governor as the pleasure of dealing with the Doctor. Also he has a lot of problems with his prison. All the systems are malefunction.

Twelfth Doctor

This book as a difficult task. Because they had to write the Doctor before they have seen him. So most of the time it could be the twelfth Doctor, but on other time you think that this isn’t what the twelfth Doctor would do. For example making baloon animals for the kids…but i will look over this because, all this was written before the athor has seen how Peter Capaldi played him. Most of the time it doesn’t show because of the first person way of telling the story.

Clara

I think everyone knows Clara i don’t have to tell you who she is. Here in this book she is our typical Clara. But it is a little sad that she got really little action. Just in the end she can run away with the Doctor and got captured. This is the only part that i don’t like about the book.

The story is not a great, special story. But it is good enough to work. It works just fine, it is a little different and interessting enough to keep me ready the whole night. So yeah read it.

DW: Dark Eyes 3 – Masterplan

Hey Guys,
i know that it is weeks after the last part of the Dark Eyes 3, but i listen to the third part again and again. It has everything a good episode needs: Amazing Characters, the Doctor and the Master. The Doctor want to change the rules. The rules that should be changed. This is the amazing thing about the eightDoctor. The Eight Doctor is always an the edge.

Changing the Past

The big war is not come, it already started and the Doctor doesn’t have a solution, big wonderfull plan that makes everything good again. He is always losing. Every step on the way the Timelords using him, the master is one step ahead. So he choose to change the past, to prevant the events that lead to the emenience.
This is bringing us in a situation were the Doctor and the Master need to work. The bickering is really amazing. I love how the talk a little about their past.
Also here again the Master is judging the Doctor and with every right. The Doctor has seen too much, thats why he want to break the rules. The Master asking him what he thinks he is: Jury, Judge and Execution.
The is always the most interessting in their relationship. Their sumularity, the way they judge each other, the mistakes both do to fight each other, how the can’t with each and not without.

Liv

In the first adventure (Dark Eyes 2 – The Traitor) of Liv, I didn’t like her much but over the adventures with her i really beginn to love her. She is really interessting and good character. The relationship between the Doctor and her are unstable. It changes and it is amazing to see what it will be next. In this adventure the Doctor left her with the scientist, which work will be the beginning of the invasion of the Emeniece.

Missing someone

As much i love to have more of Sally the companion of the master. I miss Molly and i miss Molly and the Doctor interacting. But the interactions between Liv and Sally make up for it. Sally is an really clever woman and she really believed in the Master. Everyone will say that this was a mistake, but i don’t think so…not on a personal level of course.
Liv is talking to Sally about her relationship with the master. It is interessting that this are true for many relationships of the Doctor. He had alot of ‘her’ before, telling him how wonderfull he is and in the end their is someone more important – Molly. Yes it is the relationship from him and Sally, or later from him and Martha… it will go on and on. I love Vicki so much more than Susan but it started their. He take Vicki with him to fill the emptiness Susan left. The Doctor and the master are really simular.

This can’t be the end of…

This includes probably a big spoiler. This so sad and it was just perfect… this changes alot – i think. The scientist is crazy. He is doing a experiments. He traps Liv and Sally in two different chambers and let the coincendence decide which will die in the experiments.
Here we see the biggest differnet about them. Liv doesn’t want to die, but she accepted it when she knows that she can’t do anything. Sally can’t except it, she is crying, scream, fighting till the end.
When the Master found out he is depressed about it, but he isn’t showing it and moves on. He take Liz with him.

DW: Dark Eyes 3 – The Reviled

Hey Guys,
the second part of the ‘Dark Eyes 3’ is so much better than the last. It is an adventure like we know it. It is not the strongest story but it is a solide story.

Timelords handling problems

This is why the time lords are interesting and why i so much dislike them. They have their own way to handle problems. They are not the good ones. They have a wisdom about the world but they handle it with great sacrifices and they never try to justify their action. They don’t need to. To kill humans so they can’t fall in the ends of the enemy is an action that is okay. The Time Lords always have a level of the question does the end justify the means.

Reunion of the Doctor and Liv

The Doctor is on that planet to stand in the way of the master. The timecards using him as a chase stone. Liv is also there to help. The human are colonists and the other species is seeing him now in the war as a danger. The Doctor and Liv get together again and i love to hear them interact again. Also the Doctor get to know that Liv is ill and will die. This is bringing the Doctor to an idea. Which we hopefully see in the next episode.

The war

This is the beginning of a war. A real big war and in that the time lords are battling there own. Right now it seems like a play the master against the time lords and the doctor. All the other don’t play a big role right now. But this is what makes it so good and realistic.

DW: Scales of Injustice

Hey Guys,
i started to read the Scales of Injustice of the Monster Collection. The Story was printed as a part of the ‘Missing Story’-Serie. It featured the 3rd doctor, Liz Shaw and UNIT, it takes place between the Storys ‘Inferno’ and the ‘Terror of the Autons’. AHistory is ordering it between ‘The Blue Tooth’ (Companion Chronicles #13) and ‘the Devilgoblins from Neptune’ (Past Doctor Adventure #1).

Liz Shaw

I always like Liz. She is a good person, competent and really intellegent. But also very controlled and seems often a little cold. She is much alike with the 3rd Doctor. This way never get with them. They really devoleped a conaction to each other. They were colleges and nothing more. So simular to open up. I never was sad that Liz left UNIT. This book is the last adventure from in UNIT. At the end of the book she left and i think that is best decision she made in her life. She is better than be an assitent for the Doctor. She wasted her potential at UNIT. For Liz is example of someone which becomes better without the Doctor, better by leaving the behind. She moved. She really likes him and they could have amazing friends, but they never were.

Positive Thinks

I love the way we get an inside in every important UNIT member. We get a inside in the Doctor, Liz and most importantlly in Mike, Benton and the Brig. We see a part his private life. We see how it breaks apart. This for me the most important part of the book and the reason i like it. Also i love how the describe the relationship between Benton and Brig. Benton is always standing on the sidelines and often he is totally for gotten. We see the Brig or Mike from times but so less something of Benton. He was there from the beginning. He is so loyal and a good character and he needs more appreachiation.

Story

This whole thing with C19 and the Glashouse and so one doesn’t make much sense to me. It was chaos and everyone was special, changed and the story doesn’t get me. So we have that whole conspiracy and Silurian in the mix. The Silurian Story was also not the newest or best. But i love the last part when Liz is with them. It showed us that some people are better and Liz is one of them. I love how the take this story to give Liz a reason to leave and do good in her own way. She doesn’t run away from aliens and the danger. She choose to help them another way, maybe not direct way but an indirect way.

DW: Dark Eyes 3 – The Death of Hope

Hey Guys,

Dark Eyes 4 is no out i am haven’t listend to the complete Dark Eyes 3. But no i started it and the first story started with the Time Lords. Dark Eyes is eveloping in an amazing big story about a war between Time Lords, the master, the Daleks and Emenice. Somewhere in the mix we have Molly and she is an amazing companion. But yeah, let’s start about the story.

Something new

This Story is taking a different approuch than the others before. The Doctor is with the timelords and has to look what happend. The story is completelly about the master and Molly. Also we see his companion Sally again. The Master took Molly and use her to make experience. She is not just imhuman, but can also make others immune. At first the Master seems to help the people that are attack by the Emenice. But we all know the master better than that.

The Doctor

The Doctor just watched. But he wants to help Molly. The time lord don’t want him to do without his permission. It seems like the Doctor is make this deal with him. But we all know that the Doctor is not good with rules and orders. That is not who he is and it will never be him.

So i don’t like this story as much as i like the other. But it is solide story and is leading to something bigger and i am really excited to see were this will lead.
