DW: Cryptobiosis

Hey Guys,
this is the third adventure of the special subscriber releases. At first it was only available for subscriber that get ‘Other Lives’ but now everyone can buy it. It is a nice adventure with Sixth Doctor and Peri in 1901 on the ship Lankester.

Sometimes i forget

You all remember that i am not a big fan of Peri but she is a good character. Which has a lot screen time in this adventure. She is one that just is amazed by the miracles of the nature. When she met a mermaid, she just want to help her. Peri always want to help. She makes fast friends. But not all are like her. This adventure is about human nature. A guy wants to get rich for selling the mermaid. This happens when people she something amazing. Not just that he wants to do this, we also see how far he would go to get what he wants – like murder.

The Doctor and the Captain

At first the adventure doesn’t seems not very logic and the character dump. There is a murder on the ship and the captain arrest the Doctor even when he could be the one. I don’t understand why he did this charade because this isn’t making much scenes for me. But this is the only thing that is here not right. Like i said before it is a nice adventure for now and then.

Are other species better

Peri is a good human. She has a really good heart and doesn’t want to let anyone die. We all know how humans mostly just save their own skin. But are other species better. The mermaids are not. They want to let everyone die, so they are save. Does Peri get them to change their mind.

UNIT: The Wasting

Hey Guys,
welcome to the final part of this UNIT serie. This is one of the weakest parts of the serie and even more as the showdown. But the weak points will be forgotten by the many fanservice.

Weak Story

The Story before was so good and now that all is out in the open, everything seems forgotten. It goes about a virius that never get mentioned before and the rescue of Colonel Wood. We got no really answer what has the real reason behing everything, the grand plan or how they did it. We got something totally new. But the virius storyline is just for fanservice. We don’t really searching for a solution. The Brig let search. We don’t have anything to do with it not the Brig or UNIT. But we got fanservice. The best fanserves ever is the Brig himself. He let forget alot of weak points just for being part in it. But also he is calling Sullivan and mentionend Benton and Mike. It is really fun to hear him in action again.

Get us a doctor

Sadly we don’t get ‘The Doctor’ in the story, but we got a doctor. David Tennant is playing Colonel Wood. I really love his voice. You hear that he has fun to play that role. Listen to him is making me forget a lot points, because he just can caught.

It is really fun to hear the Brig and the colonel Wood. All the mentions of old things is amazing but the story is really weak not perfect for a showdown and last part. It is to sad for so many good characters.

DW: The War Doctor – Only the Monstrous: The Heart of Battle

Hey Guys,

here we go with the last part of the big finish ‘the war doctor – only the monstrous’ adventure ‘The Heart of Battle’. You can see this as a self-contained story but as far as i know big finish that it will be conacted to the other the war doctor boxes.

Paece with the Daleks

Seratrix believe that he can make peace with the Daleks. We all know the Daleks and know that this seems impossible but on the otherside is Seratrix not wrong. The War can only end in destruction of the universe and the Doctor is know for making the impossible possible. So why not peace?
What i like the most of the story is that on the surface you can agree with Seratrix but when you hear what he is ready to do for it. What is peace offering means. He is giving them thausand planets.

Sacrifice

What is okay sacrifice for the greater good? This is something we meet alot in Doctor Who and Torchwood. The Doctor had to make that call a few times, like Pompeiji, or in the genesis of the daleks. What the Doctor did in the time war – like we know out of his dreams. Isn’t what Seratrix did the same that the Doctor did? Or are this to many people to sacrifice? Does it really makes a different?
Do you need to be monster to do this decision? If you make that sacrifice are you monster. Can you be still a good man? This are so many questions that story throw up.

Will you be a coward or a monster

When i heart that question i had Christopher Eccleston in my ears and eyes. He is standing there and the villian is asking him this question and we see the Doctor stand there looking at us and see the battle in his eyes. ‘Coward any day’ That is the totally different from what he did in this story.

DW: The War Doctor – Only the Monstrous: The thousand worlds

Hey Guys,

here we go with the next part of big finish the war doctor – only the monstrous ‘The thousand worlds’. Of course the first adventure had to do with what follows. This story is taking place in the future of the nursemaid, where the Daleks and they enemies of the nursemaid race ‘the taalyens’ conquered Keska of her.

The new mission

The Doctor got send on a mission with a team form the Time Lords. In the first adventure the Doctor saved two time lords that voluntiered to the suicide mission the Doctor take over and told them that someone made sure that these two get that mission. So the question is what is it with the two of them? Someone want them dead. We know nothing about it just that them were part of special mission. I am sure that this special mission is having a bigger mean to the story. I would love to listen to the Doctor working with this two, but of course that is not we get.
The Doctor is abandoned the team and goes alone to the so named ‘Null zone’ to save an important time lord from the Daleks.

Null zone

When the Doctor enters the Null zone he arrived at Keska in a time where they are conquered and the nursemaids race slaved. So the Doctor is meeting her again and start working together. The Doctor finds the time lord he searched for every easily but it seems like he is not prisioner. The Daleks answer to him and he tells something about peace and the Daleks time.
So the question this adventure throw up is what is the plan the Cardinal Ollistra have.

This story is not bad. But i can totally just really get opinion with the last adventure. Because it is all about the bigger picture.

Doctor Who: S09x12

Hey Guys,
here we go with the final of Doctor Who. I have to warn everyone i really dislike this episode and i don’t think that i would this time something good to say about it. One thing is clear for me know this season will never stand in my shelf. That i will just read and listen episodes and i don’t know. I can’t just give up on Doctor Who just know… but i really lost the fun of watching it. For me it is just something i need to do so that i can say that i dislike it…please…let this change again.

Biggest Mistake?

What is the worst about the episode? That can be answered easly. It is that the again took the end of a really good character and destroyed it. They did in the classic serie with Peri and it was a mistake. Claras death was important. She got reckless and risk her own life easily. She died because of that and that she couldn’t let Riggsy die. It was a end that showed us what person Clara was and what she became. It was a good end for her. But no… consequence are nothing for Doctor Who. They took this decission from her. She is not really alive but also not dead…
Clara made a decision and the Doctor took it from her. But what is even worse is that this Clara is not fighting him. She says the Doctor goes to far back is walking with him and in the end she is of to adventures with Ashildir…

Hybrid

The whole story about it is… dump. Sorry. But what should that be? We don’t get an answer for this question but one is more likely like the other… it could be the Doctor or Ashildir. Or that is what the ‘consequence’ came in Clara and the Doctor. That is really stupid. They were never dangerous not more than others. And what is that consequence that the can’t travel together and that the Doctor have to forget. The reason for that was just not logic. This was not emotional. They were emontial scenes most of them was with Clara talking… but this was not nessassary. The whole episode just makes no sense to me.

Sorry, i wish i could still love Doctor Who like i am used to.

UNIT: The longest Night

Hey Guys,
welcome to the best adventure of the UNIT serie and the sadest, because UNIT – The longest Night isn’t afraid of anything. So what do we have? This is definitily with a lot of Spoilers. Because i can’t tell anything about the adventure without talking about it.

For our people

This adventure is about a few bombing attack. The people that took the bombs are people that never have anything to do or contact with such extremes. It is really fast clear that they get brainwashed. This is the highlight of the serie. It is give us a conspirisousy that end in the last adventure of the serie. The story take loose ends and gave a few answers. It is not that i haven’t anything to criticize.

Jump and Jump

This is what really often happend in the Doctor Who Stories. But this is something i really dislike. That are the many jumps in scenes, places, times. They are so short scenes and it gets on my nerv. Also the news that are again and again in the story, getting on my nervs. It is in this story a working style medium but i hate this things. But this is just my opinion. But all that can not stop me from loving this adventure and a little bit hate because last point that will come now.

Spoilers

The Story starts with a big death or maybe death? Hoffmann have a great start and i love this character. He was strong, intelligent and reacted so fast. My thought was why we don’t get him or Dalton in the Doctor Who serie in UNIT. Now we know. We start with this sad death. I am very emotional after that. But it is not the only thing. Dalton has the whole adventure to play himself into heart and when he not already was there, he would after the singing in the car. So we get to see this sides on him, see him closer to his comrades, start to understand and love UNIT, we get to doubt him and we hope that he will the good and the living and it ends with his death.
Now i am a emotional tailcout.

DW: S09x11

Hey Guys,
welcome to the new Doctor Who episode and the negative rant about it. It was not everything bad but as whole the episode doesn’t get me. There are so many things i really disliked. So you all know this is just me ranting over one of my favorite series that i don’t want to watch anymore but can’t stop.

One-man-show

Peter Capaldi is A+ actor and can totally rock a one-man-show but i am not a fan of it. It’s like a X files with just Mulder or just Scully… not the same and boring. The Doctor needs someone but i can overlook that he hasn’t one in this because the companion in this episode was still Clara. The way they let her play in this episode made me afraid that they would bring her back, but until now she is still dead. So this all alone thing is not my thing. But on the other hand my fears put aside, i like the way they made the Doctor talk with Clara, when she isn’t their anymore. With Adric death the Doctor was defeated. But here the Doctor is angry. Also the words of Clara are a highlight in the episode.

Boring…

Nothing happend… this is what happend in this episode. The Doctor is talking and wandering around… nothing more. He doesn’t know what all this is about and we don’t know. This whole construct doesn’t make any sense. They say that all rooms get set to zero or the starting point when he leaves… what can’t be. Because when it is that way how can he write brids in the sand, how can he find his clothes? Everything should have been away too. But it isn’t. The Doctor dies over and over again… just starting new everytime he dies…
But of course the crystal wall he is breaking is also not reseting…something here doesn’t make any sense.

Confessions

The Doctor has to confess thing to stop the monster from killing him. So he is talking about the time war, about being afraid, about a hybrid. Two things about the confessions. The idea is not so bad, but the confessions are. The Doctor tells us about a hybrid of a Dalek and… I hated the Dalekhybrid episode. This was a human-dalek Hybrid and that episode was so bad… and they weren’t really dangerous.
In the end he tells us or them that their of course is no dalekhybrid. What the heck? They got the prophecy wrong. They should be afraid of a Dalekhybrid. The hybrid that will stand in burn down grounds is me/ the Doctor. The way he says it i thing he really means himself. But i actually doesn’t like the human-timelord-hybrid eiter and ignored it. The Doctor is no on the way to destroy? He still has friends in Gallifrey. Some people thing he means ME, but we will see.
I don’t remember the scene. But i read a few posts about it that the Doctor left Gallifrey because he was afraid… i choose to forget that. Because he was not afraid. William Hartnells Doctor was a hard and closed old man. He was bored out of his mind. He could just see the world, he needed to experience it. He doesn’t thought of the races as bad or good. He just was interessted in them. All that… came when he started traveling with his first two companions. He was not afraid… and also William Hartnells Doctor dead because of old age. So stop with that crap.

DW: S09x10

Hey Guys,
welcome to the latest episode of Doctor Who. This was one of the better episodes this season. It is really embarrassing that i needed over the half of the episode to actually get that Rigsy is Rigsy. That we know him from another episode, i think it was Flatline. Just to make sure this review will have a big spoilers.

Story

Rigsy is calling the TARDIS. He hab forgotten the whole last day and has a tatoo that counts down. That is never a good thing. The Doctor things that Rigsy had contact with aliens. He tells us that there are whole streets which just vanish. In such a street was Rigsy. This street is like a refugee camp of aliens and of course the leader is Me. This side of Me is making her really unsympatic… when she told the Doctor that she will protect the world from him. I think everyone thought that this wasn’t such a bad idea… but we didn’t meant it like her. What she did this episode is for me – i want to say unforgiveable – but that is not the right word.

The end of a journey

We heart everyone talk about it the death of Clara Oswald. This is it. Clara got this season after the death of Danny more like the Doctor than ever. She got cocky and now she pays the price. Clara thought that what ever happends she will be saved, she will survive. So she got Rigsys death sentence. He is a father of a little baby and Clara wants to make sure that he will go back to his girl at the end. But this time the Doctor can’t save her. This time their is no magical solution, no back door. At least i hope their isn’t. I loved Clara. She was a strong character and she and the Doctor had an interessting relationship. I wished her nothing more than to have a long and happy live. But i really hope that there isn’t a backdoor. That she is really dead. Death is sad and cruel and unnessassary… it will never be somethingelse for these who are left behind. But the last few season made us forget what death means because the Doctor always changed it. I don’t want another Rory… just let her be.

DW: Singularity

Hey Guys,
welcome to the 76 adventure – Singularity – of the big finish main range. It plays it the 21th centuary somewhere after Warchild and before the Seeds of Death. In the timeline of the fifths Doctor and Turlough it is somewhere after the Resurrection of the Daleks. I love this story from the beginning.

Turlough

He is one of the most interessting characters on Doctor Who. Is at the beginning unsympatic, always thinks first of himself, he does what is best for him, he isn’t into the magic around the Doctor, he is kinda bored the travling, the adventures. He changes the most of all Companions i remember. He got alot scene to show this to us. He is the one that talks Lena out of changing history. He is conaticing to these people. I love him. He is also one of the Companions that likes the TARDIS. He never saw her as a thing, he always saw her as a living creature. This is again in this Story showing.

Lena

Lena is the reason why i love the stories with the fifths Doctor so much. She is losing everything. Friends of her die because, they got involved with the Doctor. Because travling with him she got make choices nobody have. She is always struggling from the first moment she met the Doctor. She is one of the companion that is at a point where she wish she never met the Doctor. She is a person we need more on Doctor Who. Because she is right. Most times he makes a great mess without really helping. He wants to help but he not always really does. This is something we need to remember.

Story

The Story is really good. We have amazing characters that works very well in the storytelling. The bad guys are not really what they seems like. It is a little surprising and it is bringing the question up of punishing for a crime before comitted. For me this is a pretty good story.

DW: S09x08

Hey Guys,

i will excuse myself right now about everything i will say about this new episode of Doctor Who. The first thing i wanted to do after i looked the first minutes of the episode, was to turn the tv off. Everything about the episode was horror in a bad way. After this episode i thing this season will not find his way into my dvd-cupboard.

You can’t unsee it

The whole way the story was told was annoying and bad. This first few minutes that tells us how bad everything is and that this will be so dramatic that i just want to turn it off. Than we saw a few camera scenes from the resue mission and the Doctor. And this stupid unsympatic and crazy person telling us the story.
And i really wish that i could unsee it. Why didn’t i listen to him…
The story is not better than the episode was told.

Sandman

So it seems like the invention of the Morpheus-capsel, that change something in your brain and let you make 5 minutes power sleeping instate of a good night sleep. Of course there is a sideeffect. This sideeffect is that your sleepsand is eating you and becoming a monster. That is Doctor Who logic i am okay with. But now it comes. This monsters are blind but they are cameras… which are everywhere and the Doctor can hack them. Of course Clara was in one of the pods. Is just waiting for the sand to eat her… this whole sceneario is senseless…

and than…

Than it all just ends. It doesn’t make sense. Because Clara is in facted. The bad guy got is signal out… and than it just ends and next episode seems to be something totally different and i really hate everything about it.
