DW: Last Christmas

Hey Guys,
i hope you all had a nice christmas. I found the time to watch the christmas special of Doctor Who and to be honest i don’t know if i like it or not. It has a lot good things in it and a lot things i don’t like. So it isn’t easy to decide. But let’s just start.

Dreams

The start is rediculios. Santa is crushing on Claras roof and than the Doctor is coming and they both go to the nordpol expedition with an alien problem. I just can decide if this is just so Doctor Who or rediculios or just both. But the idea behind all that is really good. I love this theme. What is reality and what is a dream and how can you know what is real. This is really interessting.

Movie hommage?

Everyone can see that this is Alien. The monster that is jumping at the face and everything, but it is nice to watch. There are few nice dialoges and i don’t think this is a bad thing. The dream in dream thing remembers me a little of Inception and by the ‘Hohoho’ at the end i must think about Die Hard ( but this is just me – i think).
All that is not a bad think but it left me with a feeling like something isn’t right – what is maybe the best think about it, but like i sad i am not sure.

Clara and the Doctor

I love the relationship between Clara and that Doctor. They don’t can with each other and not without each other. They are lying and playing each other, but deep down the love each other and wants to protect each other. This is so realistic. The scene in the slide is heartwarming and the best in the whole movie.
I think that Clara should have stayed old. It would be a good and very Doctor ending for her. The second chance just doesn’t feel right. It feels of and yes you can say it is a christmas wonder and that we needed after all that a good ending, but i don’t think this had to be a bad end. Because Clara is strong woman and she knows that Danny wants her to live so she would have an good life even without the Doctor…

DW: Destiny of the Doctor – Babblesphere

Hey Guys,
so here we have the fourth adventure of the ‘Destiny of the Doctor‘-serie with the fourth doctor and Romana II read by Lalla Ward and Roger Parrott. It plays on the planet Hephastos. Also with all the hints from the story it seems that the story plays after the episode ‘The Leisure Hive’ before Adric is joining the group.

Story about our own world

This Story is about something that is called the Babblesphere that also could be called internet. Of course here in Doctor Who, the babblesphere is a room, where your conscious mind is and you can’t just go out anymore. No thought is private. For me it is like the internet just a little bigger and so on. They tell the story how everyone lost themself on this babblesphere. They just stopped wanting doing something else. The stop going to work and just shatter in the babblesphere.
There is going something more on, because at the start of the story someone get killed by the programm. Also it plays with the theme of computers take the power. The people built this programm to overview the babblesphere but this programm begann to think that he don’t know this people anymore.

Play a game

Romana is lovely and i think the characters are really well written. Romana have a lot of action the first part is mostly about her and this is a really good thing. Also it is fun to here they play that game. They play the game lists of 5 things to overwheel the programm. They are a few fun things in it. Romana list the former presidents of gallifrey or the 11th doctor give a list of his favorite foes and so on. It is fun.

Fazit

It is a nice story and it has some really atcual theme but i find at really hard to listen to it. I don’t know what it is but i always almost start sleeping when i am listing to it or i just began to blend the voices out. I need to hear it three times before i had the whole story. So for me it is one of the weekest part of the serie.

DW: Destiny of the Doctor – Vengeance of the Stones

This audio book is the 3rd part with the third doctor of the ‘Destiny of the Doctor‘- Serie and it is read by Richard Franklin and Trevor Littledale. It plays in the Doctors UNIT time and i would say it plays after Liz is going to leave the Doctor and before Jo will take his part. This is the story how the Brig and the Doctor will meet Mike Yates. Bentons role is sadly not big.

UNIT is needed

UNIT get called after two jets just disapears. Of course the Brig and Doctor are on the scene and they work really closly with Mike Yates – who we all know.
The most fun of this story is the relationship of the Brig and the Doctor. The Doctor is saying something and the Brig let him do what ever he wants and than behind the back of the Doctor he is doing the opposite. This is who the work and why we love them so much. So the audio book is doing a good thing here. The characters are in Character and lovly as ever.

Aliens against humanity

The Doctor founds out about the stone circle and the alien that are behind it. This aliens take Mike to get information to fight against the human. They hate them and want revenge for all the people that died thousands of years ago. The Doctor is trying to talk them out of it. Because all that humans that did this are not alive anymore. But when he had a step forward UNIT is stepping in and is ready to take weapons to save Mike.
This is where everything will go complicated.
They are UNIT which wants to save the earth and do this with fighting against this aliens and the aliens what to fire their superweapon at the humans. But the Doctor get form himself the job to find another solution.

Fazit

It is on of the best of this serie. The characters are fun and everyone that love Mike Yates most hear this audio book, because this is the beginning of Mike Yates in UNIT. I can only recommand that.

Doctor Who: The Seventh Doctor Volume 1 in Germany

Hey Guys,

i was walking through the Dvd-boards on the shop and what did my eyes see? The Adventures of the seventh Doctor in German. I heart that it should come, but i didn’t believe it. But there it is. I don’t understand why the started with the seventh Doctor, but i also one who don’t understand the question where to start with Doctor Who. Because for me there are just two posibilities with the first Doctor or the ninth Doctor. But that is just me.

So there is the seventh Doctor in german that is a good thing. I will not buy it, because i have all of them in my DVD-board at home in english. But this is a good developement for every Doctor Who Fan in Germany, who think about buying it – do it. The seventh Doctor is fun.

I can’t tell you about the quality or something like that, because like i said i will not buy it. But i can tell you what is on it and i will link my articles about the episode in the english episode name. Also the review that i read about it tells that there are a lot of bonus material in that Box.

On the DVD are the episodes:

„Terror auf Lakertia“ („Time and the Rani“) – 4 parts
„Der Fluch des Kroagnon“ („Paradise Towers“) – 4 parts
„Delta und die Bannermänner“ („Delta and the Bannermen“) – 3 parts
„Das Feuer des Drachen“ („Dragonfire“) – 3 parts

The Seventh Doctor

My problem with the seventh Doctor is that the stories don’t caught me. I love the characters. The Rani is one of the best time lords we ever met, also Mel and Ace are good characters even when i don’t like them very much. The seventh Doctor is a good Doctor. The Doctor is different from the others before and he is with the sixth Doctor the darkest of the old doctors. He often isn’t the nice understandble Doctor. He isn’t really nice to Ace (Ace will be in the last episode and will be the companion in the next season). She said she doesn’t want to go there and he will bring her there the second she says it. He force her to confront her problems, her fear and not on her terms – on his terms. But he has a charming art to play it with his umbrella and his way to walk and talk. It is a really interessting and amazing Doctor. So i just can tell everyone even when the episodes are not so good, he is worth it.

UNIT: Time Heals

Guys, i did it, i listend to the first volume of UNIT and i love it. I started it a few times before but everytime i lied down to just listen i begann to sleep. But not today i was awake to hear that really good audio play.

The Brig

I of course borght it because the Brig is having a part in it. I love the character and i totally love his voice. The role of the Brig is not that big. He wants to enjoy his retierment. But he don’t never just sit still when something happend and he did really good work. We can saw he sees things. Things the other don’t see so fast, because they don’t have his experience.

The changes at UNIT

UNIT is in a complicated position. IRIS are making their own thing and are the enimey for UNIT. The Miltary wants his own investigation team under their comant and the public wants to know everything about UNIT and the things that are going on. It makes it diffecult to interact like they did before. When this exident happend the CEO of UNIT got missing and the became someone new. Someone that knows the former incommant woman of IRIS. Someone that don’t believe in the impossible. Someone that wants answers but is not ready to except them.

This could make a difference

We have these two scientists that are investigate a mashine/spaceship. What they did have mass influence of the surrounding. They talk about sacrifice people for the greater good – for their scienes. Sometimes it could be worth it. But is it ever worth it? This scientist are working for IRIS and they decide to sacrifice people so they could do their job.

So yeah i love it, because it has the Brig and UNIT and yes the story is something new, but what is new. I hopefull find the time to hear the second volume.

DW: The Movie

It is a sad day because i have see all Doctor Who Adventures that are out on DVD… what am i watching know? First off all i will rewatch the movie for you. I was not a big fan of the movie but i love the eighth doctor with everything i have. Maybe i will change my mind now, we will see.

The first thing is i dislike the TARDIS in this movie. I really thing such a room would be in there but not in the consule room. I really dislike it. The Doctor have the remains of the Master in the TARDIS. Something happends and the Master can escape. The TARDIS lands her self on earth in a gangs fight. He got shoot and one of the boys get him into the hospital. It is fun to see, how he don’t know what to write on the paper and choose to name him John Smith. It is a nice hint.

The call the medic. she is in the theatre and has trouble about it with her friend. This Doctor can’t save the Doctor, what leads as to an incredable stupid Frankenstein scene with the Doctor. Also we have that stupid Master thing. He just is slime and possessed the people. Not a big fan of these things. The Master reminds me of the Terminator.

But i am a have of the third Doctor scene were the Doctor steals his outfit together. The regeneration is not going very good so he needs help and try to get the Doctor to help him. He doesn’t  remembered everything.

The scenes were the Doctor and Grace are out for a work are the best. He is telling her about Gallifrey and how amazing and wonderfull it was. No other doctor from the classic ever talked about it that way. The Doctor is sweet and full of energy.

There are a few hints of the other Doctors. There were the Jelly Bellys. These things are fun but than we the Masters green snake eyes and i want to turn out the tv. The Effects are really bad?!

But than there is that sweet talk and the bike about what her life will be. She is really sweet. I like her and like the interaction between the Doctor and her. Also the Master is funny with his dressed for the occissions. That is the Master we love. But this is deffintly the weakest master in the history of Doctor who.

The guy that helped the master changed his mind and it was a really good scene. Because it showed what this boy could be and the master killed him. that is what evil do. It is a good scene.

What i also like that the Doctor is in the trap of the master. He can’t do anything to help or safe the world. The one who must do all the work is Grace. She is the one who saved the earth, who saved the Doctor.  Also Grace is dying because that happends to heros. The scene are amazing and so dark, real and full of emotion. Such deep scenes i really missed in Doctor Who and than the Movie is making everything bad. The make a stupid happy ending. The TARDIS saved the boy and Grace. Everyone is alive.

The only thing what is good about that movie is totally the Doctor. He is really amazing and can just recommended the big finish stories with him for exmaple the Dark Eyes.

DW: S08x12 – Death in Heaven

Hi Guys,

welcome to the final of Doctor Who. Actually i don’t know what i think about this episode. There are two big negative points for me in this episode – apart from the death of a few people.

Cybermen

This cybermen thing is quite uncool. I didn’t like the Craig think in the other season and here again the same. The cybermen were something bad, something cruel, because you could come back from it. Love, a cybermen with out emotion can’t feel love, he doesn’t even understand love, so he couldn’t protect Clara. Because this changes everything… Okay i hate it because it takes away all the dramatic from Ianto and Lisa. Also the rain thing is stupid and i can’t really accept it has just the typicall stupidity of Doctor Who.

The Master

The Master is double-edged sword. I told you that i don’t like the master in that form. But i have to say, that i like the idea of the master just doing this thing to see the Doctor at the edge. To make them more like himself. This is something the Master does in all the season. They were once friends. But i don’t like how it is played. I don’t like that whiny i need my friend back. That is not the Master i love. Also it seems like the movie the never take place. And know the Doctor did what? Kill her? He never could kill the master. Even after all he did, he never could do it. Thats who they are.

The Deaths

Osgold is dead and now a cybermen. That is one of the stupidest things i ever seen on Doctor Who. Really why did they kill her? Why is she even in a room with the master? Why is UNIT, which as files like nothing else about the master just in handcuffs in a room with just to soldiers and Osgold? Who could the Doctor let that happen? Really the Master broke out of high-security prison with no one noticing – twice. UNIT and the Doctor of all people should know better. But there it is this dead girl which saved Kate. Also a scene that was totally unnessary? Why did they do it? It doesn’t really have an effect because right after it cames that emotional scene with Clara.

The End

They could have done so much more with that stuff. Also with the boy. Why was he there? Just so Clara don’t have an happy end? We don’t see any talks of them. He just goes back. What totally is stupid because, he was long dead. There are so many young people dead… i hopped for more. But the last scene with the Doctor and Clara is really good. I love that scene this is emotional. That is typical the Doctor and Clara. But really Santa Claus?

I don’t know what to say to it… So tell me what do you think about the final?

DW: S08x11 – Dark Water

Okay, so i watched the new episode of Doctor Who and this brings alot of unwanted themes up. So just to be clear from the start i am a woman and i am not an antifeminist or something like that and that i have problem with Moffats storys has nothing to do with Moffats.

It was ordinary…

So yeah let start with that. Clara told him on the phone that she loved him. I don’t really get all the pinups and what she is doing but she was thinking about everything and she wanted to tell him. This is a start of an really emotionally episode. She is saying that she love him and seconds later he is died. The scenes with her griefing a strong and really good. This is really hard emotional stuff and it is amazing. That is strong stuff, that is good stuff. She wants the Doctor to save Danny, she threaten the Doctor by destroying the TARDIS keys. Jenna is doning a really amazing job in that scene as Clara. The Doctor is like he always was. He can’t save him and when he told Clara that the destroying of the TARDIS keys where just her imagenagion – i see a little of the seventh Doctor in him. This is something the Doctor would do. This is an good start and it gets even better. Because the Doctor descided to help her, because she is important to him so important that her betrayal on him don’t change anything. This is one of the best scenes between them. I love every bit of it but this is also where my problems started.

Afterlife?

Half of the epiosde i thought, this isn’t really true… they could make that. This is stupid. When there is a afterlife than they can’t travel there and so on. The Story is just not really good… so much work for something that happend before with so much less? They don’t need souls for cybermen… i don’t get warm with the story. For me it don’t make any sense. The only thing i like about it is that it promise as deep emotion in the final. I hope for a scene between Danny and that boy. The scene between him and Clara are also amazing. To sides of view about one thing. To live on without the on you love. That is good stuff. The cybermen are not really… i like cybermen, when the were scary and dangerous. Now you can change back when you baby cries…That was the point when i beginn to hate cybermen.

Missy the mistress

The last part of the story… the timelady… First of all yes i love the master and mostly i am happy when he plays part in a story. But why is everyone bringing the Master back? Because the second time R.T. Davis brought him back wasn’t logic at all. But good i wished for the Master to apear in the special so it was clear that this wouldn’t be logic… Than this theme timelords change their gender… stupid. I hate it and they were so much better ways to make something special this episode. I mean look at that episode. Afterlife and firm that as techology…that could be the Rani (from stories like: Time and the Rani or The Mark of the Rani) make some of her experiments. That would be something new. They are so many amazing characters that could be it but they took the master. The way Missy act and the master are not confirm in my head… but as Rani it is a little different… i wouldn’t like her either… but it would be part of the Rani… she is to much. Bring someone different back…

There is nothing more i want to saw to this episode… what is your opinion about the episode?
