DW: The War Doctor – Infernal Devices: Legion of the Lost

Hey Guys,

here i am a little late but better than never with the second Box of ‘The War Doctor’ and the first adventure ‘Legion of the Lost’. It plays after Box One and he is like always travling alone. Of course it doesn’t stay that way. This adventure he meets Collis. She is on a mission and is the last one alive.

Time Lords are better hands?

Collis and her team had the mission to get a weapon that is really dangerous. It earses people and things completely from existince. Of course the time lords want them but the Doctor doesn’t want it in the hands of the time lords. He is out to destroying it and Collis is dying.
This is were the story really begins. Because the time lords work on a new war advantage. They bring the warriors back from the death so they can die again in the war.

Cost of a war

Is it alright to win a war at all cost? How far can we go? Does we have a right to do everything? This is what are not just the questions in this story. This are the questions in the whole story of the war doctor. It is about war crimes, about sacrifices and moral. Even this Doctor has morals. He isn’t one to allow such things. He believes that their is a differnt cost to bringing someone back to live.
Of course he is right.

The Tenth Doctor Adventures: Death and the Queen

Hey Guys,

here we go with my favorite adventure in this Volume of the Tenth Doctor Adventures – Death and the Queen. Of course it is again the tenth Doctor and Donna Noble and plays in Goritania. It is not clear in what time it plays.

Donna and the man

Donna is such a strong character but she always tried to define herself above a man. So he got often used by them. Like Lance did in the christmas special. Here Donna is meeting a prince that fall in love with her and want to marry her.
All Donna always wished for. But the life is not what she wants. She has armee, glamour and will be a queen. But everything is just to much for her. A fairytale that for Donna is more than a nightmare but she never let any of that show to the Doctor.

Goodbyes

So Donna is struggling with her fairytale life and the Doctor with getting to get left again. First Rose and than Martha. Donna was the one he believed would stay with him. Because he didn’t fall in love with her and she didn’t fall for him. They are just best friends traveling together. So the Doctor hoped that she would stay. This Doctor is such an emotional person that can’t deal with loneliness.

Why i love them

Both are dealing with their typical problems in such a way that is so them. But the best thing is the way the Donna always saves the Doctor and everyone around her. She doesn’t believe in herself. She needs to define herself above man but in the end she is stronger than everyone. She is ready to protect her kingdom at all cost. Not much persons care so much for people and are ready to sacrifice so much for people she just shortly know.
For a person that define herself about man, she isn’t getting any shit for them. She does what he things is right and is always showing them into their border. She can fight that war on her own and would win.

Hopefully we will get a Volume 2 of The Tenth Doctor Adventures.

DW: Circuliar Time

Hey Guys,

here we go with the 91th big finish main range adventure ‘Circular Time’ with the fifths Doctor and Nyssa. The story consists out four shot stories named after the seasons. The story very different and i like the last two much more than the first. This four stories plays to differnt times. But the last story plays in the same time like the last story of the fifths Doctor.

Spring

The Story is about a meeting with another time lord. A time lord that left his planet to see the world. He stays on a planet with birdlike people and become something like their god. In this culture see things different. When someone did something bad, the one that got the punishment is the one closed to the one who did it.
Nyssa is offend by this. Also she is really shocked that the Doctor was exciled.
This story is about how a time lord is take his place as a good and trick the Doctor.

Summer

This is totally differnet story it plays one earth the Doctor and Nyssa got arrested because they wanted to pay with the wrong currency. Because he got to met Issac Newton. Someone that stoped being a alchemist. He is a difficult person. Which overthings everything and also got just out of the currency that they are time travlers and from earth. He looks at all the details and set them to new picture.

Autumn

This is really quieted story. It is about Nyssa and the Doctor making a pause. The Doctor plays cricket and Nyssa is writting a novel about herself, about Traken. Nyssa is meeting a man who is interessted in her and is going out with her. They talk about her writting and he is interessted in her. Also is she telling him the truth about her home planet but he don’t really believe her. It is lovely to see this side of Nyssa.

Winter

The last story plays in Nyssa future. It is after Terminus. She has know a husband and little baby. She found her luck and it is nice. But than she beginn to dream about the past and something gave her a special feeling so she use the dream maschine of her husband to find out what it is. The Doctor lived in a farm house and has children and a wife. He doesn’t really remember her.

DW: Year of the pig

Hey Guys,

welcome to the 90th big finish main range adventure ‘Year of the pig with the sixth Doctor and Peri. The Story plays in the year 1913. It is a very special episode. It will never be my favorite. But it has something i can hardly explain.

Tobe and the inspector

Tobe is a pig that is always eating and his nurse is watching the other guests of the hotel and describe it to him. He is not just a pig, he is a famous pig and has a few very special fans. One we meet is an lady that infollwing Peri and the Doctor in everything.
The inspector is a very special person. He is really not sympathic. The Doctor and Peri saves him from drowning. So he searches the contact to these two. But he is hiding something.

The problem with this story is that it is so special that i am afraid that i write the wrong thing and everyone knows what is the solution to this abstruse story. About pigs, experiments, time travel, emenies and friends. I always have the feeling that i over heard something. How the go to place to place. For me it is a pile of chaos that does shows everything.

The Tenth Doctor Adventures: Time Reaver

Hey Guys,

here we go with the second adventure of the Tenth Doctor Adventures Vol 1 – Time Reaver. Of course this is the tenth Doctor and Donna who go and have another adventure. This adventure takes part in Calibris which is a space port. It is playing before the ‘Silence in the Library’. In the end of the story he tells her that her next stop should be the library.

What is going on?

A girl get lost and falls in the end of very bad aliens. It goes about a weapon that make a few seconds so much longer. It is like two seconds are two hours for the person. The girl is not the only victim of them. It is a terrible weapon and everyone seemed to want that weapon.
But also is this story like the story before. It is not what it seems. In the end there is something totally different go on with that weapon.

Relationship

Donna have a new way to shine in this story. I love Donna always the most when she shows us how she take care about the people around her. She is loud and direct but she really cares so much about everyone. Here we see her take care about the girl that got abducted. She doesn’t judge Cora for the stupid thing that she does. She understand her, what she wanted to archieve.

Spoilers – what weapon can do

This story is about two sides of the same coin. It is about what good can something do and what at the same time to more harm than good. A weapon that make out of seconds hours. The worst feeling when you are in pain but what happend if when you are happy – you are longer happy. Isn’t that a good thing when you know your time is counted? Is it worth the risk of some one using it for evil? The story reminds me of of the book we read in german lesson – the physicist.

I loved the first episode more but it is still a really good story. So listen to it. I try to write about the next and last adventure as soon as possible. It is my favorite story of the box.

DW: No Man’s Land

Hey Guys,

here we go with the 89th big finish main range adventure ‘No Man’s Land’ with the seventh Doctor and Ace and Hex. With Hex bad luck they land again in the time of war. This time it is the first world war it plays in 1917. They got an job to investigate a murder that didn’t take place yet in a militäry hospital.

Same Story over and over again

We know the Story. It is war and everyone wants to win it. Some people are ready to do anything for it. They want to make the soldier stronger. To give them a killer instinct, to take feelings away… in the end the humans always end to create something like cybermen. Of course their are no cybermen in this story but they are on the way. It is a step to this path.
But it is almost everytime a good story. We know what will happen and we know the Doctor is against it. The Doctor that wants to stop it.

Strength

This is about strength. What is strength and this is what i love about Doctor Who. Because Doctor Who is always (almost) telling you that strength has nothing to do with killing people. Don’t kill people is a strength. Hex is a man that many people accuse to be weak. Hex is against war and killing. He hates this war times. But he is not weak. He maybe don’t can defeat a soldier in a fight but he strong because he wants to help people and save them. He wants to make the world better. He is not afraid of getting in danger. He does it when things that it will help. But he is not running into danger. Hex is an amazing character and i really love the stories with him.

DW: Memory Lane

Hey Guys,
welcome to the 88 adventure – Memory Lane – of big finish main range with Charley and C’rizz and of course the eigtht Doctor. The story doesn’t give us a particialar date. When you go after the names and things Kim – one of the astronauts that the Doctor meet in the story – know. She must live somewhere 2010 (that is where the AHistory put it) and the story takes places two hundred twenty-seven years after Kim and her crew are departed from earth. This means it whould be 2237 or something like this. C’rizz is telling about the TARDIS and prisons so it is shortly after ‘Something inside’.

Prison again

The three are finding themself in a prison again. But were the story of ‘Something inside’ was dark and deep. This story is light and funny. The land in the living room of an old lady which doesn’t react in anyway than that they stay in her way to watch tv or the Doctor go of to buy ice cream. At first they think they are on the countryside but than the find out that every house not just looks the same. In every house is living the same old woman.
So the atmosphere is totally different to the adventure before.

Cell changes

The Cell is creating a really little world. At some point the cell is taking Charlies memories and create her childhood home. So we find out a little more about her past life. Which is really lovely to know more about her. She was a sweet kid. The Doctors world is just him and the other two asking about the Doctors victory. Again here is C’rizz the one how saves them again. C’rizz mind is something special and get always shown to us.

There is not much to say about it. The story is nice and as funny scenes. But it is nothing special. It is just another not bad episode of Doctor Who.

The Tenth Doctor Adventures: Technophobia

Hey Guys,

here i go with the first adventure of Big Finsih ‘The Tenth Doctor Adventures’ – Technophobia. It is not just the tenth Doctor but this adventures are the best team back together again. Donna and the tenth Doctor are just amazing together. Out of the three companions of the tenth Doctor is Martha my favorite but she never have that amazing chemestry like Donna and the Doctor had. So i am really happy to get more action of the both of them. But i wouldn’t say no to more adventures of Martha?!

Special Edition

I decided to buy the special edition of the volume one of ‘The Tenth Doctor Adventures’. The packaging is amazing. It has the size of a DVD box. The box is made out of a stable carton. The DVD shell itself is like a book. Actually it is a book.

Inside you find five DVD’s. Three of this DVD’s are the stories of the Box: Technophobia, Time Reaver and Death and the Queen. The other two are bonus material: The Tenth Doctor Adventures Documentary and a documentary about the Audio Adventures of Doctor Who. I don’t have listen to any of them yet, but i will and i will also let you know my thoughts about it.
But this is not all that is in that book. We also have forwords from Dan Starkey and Terry Molloy. Also thoughts about the three adventures and Director’s Notes from Nicholas Briggs and at last the Prodcuer’s Notes from David Richardson. The other pages are filled with pictures from the crew.

So i thing this limited Edition is worth his price. I really like it and i wish other boxes whould follow this example.

Meeting dream team again

The best about these two is that the were never romantically involved with each other. The are best friends traveling around and getting into mess. Of course this time is not different. They just want to visit a technology museum. The Story doesn’t play far in the future for Donna. It is set on Earth in 2011.
It doesn’t take long and Donna already made new friends. It is so much fun to listen to Donna acting. Donna is getting here the most action the Doctor is just figuring stuff out. The characters has a great chemestry and i Donna and Bex – she works in the museum. They bound with each other over their jobs as a temp – which is most likely. After i start working in the backery and sell stuff, i always bickering with other Sellers when i buy stuff.

Our greatest enemie

Something seems to go on in that museum and the robots and computers. What this story does it. It does take a really common story the robots and computer are turning against humans. But the have a new twist in it that the technology is totally fine and working the way they should. We depent so much on the technology these days and what happend when they turn against us. This time it is the humans the problem. Everyone get really frightend about technology. For someone who don’t know technology it must seems very frigthend.
I really like the story. It is fun and get me in a good mood to listen to it. Just like most of the episodes did when the don’t left me heartbroken.

So i have really high expections of the other two stories. Which will of course follow over the next to weeks.

DW: The Nowhere place

Hey guys,
welcome to the 84 adventure ‘The Nowhere place’ of big finish main range. This story plays in 7th september 1952 and 2197 somewhere by earth. The Sixth Doctor and Evelyn is hearing a bell and are going to investigate.

The bell

The Story seems promising and a little mystirious. Some people are hearing a bell and seems to go crazy. The have panic. But what this the whole mystrious thing about it. Mainly the story plays in 2197 and their is were people are hearing the bell. A bell from the 7th september 1952. I thought that the actions on 1952 have something to do with the happing in 2197 but this is not really the case. Because the whole episode in 1952 just could have left out. It doesn’t really make sense. And the solution behind it is a liitle disapointing but it is kinda realistic.

Characters

Evelyn get a little more action than in the other stories i listend before. But the main actions is still on the Doctor. Tanya Oswin are a good character and i would have loved to have more time with her. She is really human. The other characters on 1952 are a little to mysterious. They worked at a secret facility. But we never got more information. This characters with a real story could be great but how this part of the story is played it is just to much.

It is not a bad adventure, but this is actually the weakest i have heart until know. But still nice to listen to.

DW: The Gathering

Hey,
welcome to the second part of the story ‘The Reaping‘. It is the 87 adventure ‘The Gathering’ of big finish main range with just the fifths Doctor. He is traveling with Peri and Erimem right now and left them on their own and go into the year 2006. But of course he is not completely alone, he met Tegan again on her birthday.

Questions be answered…

This story answers most of the questions that were still open after The Reaping. For example what did Tegan do after she left the TARDIS and the Doctor. The story is about Cathy from the adventure before.
She moved and tries to save her brother which has a broken neck. Of course she tries it with the cybermen technology. The Doctor comes to stop her. But this incarnation doesn’t have met Cathy yet. We know what happened to Cathy and his brother the Doctor don’t. So we got to know what that numbers everyone is saying mean. But who is the guy that helps Cathy?
The create a circle. There are this small things like in The Reaping the Doctor searches a book he lost at one point and here he lost this book.

Saving people

I didn’t like Cathy in the first adventure but there I hadn’t a real reason. She was just a girl who had lost a father and a best friend. But here… The last time I could understand her feelings. Here on the other hand I just grow to hate her. This is so… I don’t know. She is telling her story to the barkeeper and the story she tells isn’t the same that we hear. She doesn’t want to help Tegan. She is ready to kill people to save her brother and then she is telling everyone the Doctor doesn’t know what a life means? The Doctor cares so much even the sixth Doctor he just choose not to show it anymore. That Nate survived is like a miracle. But it would be more human to just let him die… The only one that doesn’t understand how important a life is Cathy and that is making her really unsympathetic. Even her half cybermen brother understand that more than anyone.

It is good to met Tegan again. Tegan is something I really miss in the NewWho. She has a life, a good life, a life she choose and she is totally okay with that. Even when she knows that her life is not perfect and knows that it doesn’t have a good end for her. But she choose this life over the Doctor… Tegan was never my favorite but here she proves how strong she is and that the Doctor isn’t making your life better…not always.
