DW: S08x02 Into the Dalek

Hi Guys,

the first episode was good, but i had very low expectations for this episode. I don’t trust Moffats with my favorite Monsters.

So there is aparrently a good Dalek and the Doctor tries to help him. For that he, Clara and a few soldiers get minimize and get into the Dalek to repair him from the inside. Of course things don’t go like they want it to go. The Doctor repairs the Dalek and he is totally bad again. What i really like is that Clara tells the Doctor that he is wrong and that she totally see through the Doctor.

So i have to say that until the last 15 minutes i thought that the Dalek thing was bad. I mean like everything arround it. The Doctor is really amazing and Clara too. It is so much fun to see them interact and their relationship is really refreshing. But the Story about the ‘good’ Dalek reminded me of one story of the ‘Dark Eyes’ audioplays. But i love what they made out of it. The end is totally amazing. ‘You are a good Dalek’ That is what is the most interessting of these monsters. So yeah totally a fan of the episode.

I don’t like the Missy scenes. What is that woman? Why must she be there?

Also i don’t know what i should think about the Mr Pink thing. His character is nice, but it seems like just a new love interest for Clara because the Doctor isn’t anymore…

We will see.

DW: Frostfire

Here we are,

i have listened to a new story of ‘the Companion Chronicles‘. It featured Vicki and is also read by her actor Maureen O’Brien. Her voice is a little different, i needed a moment to really identify it with her.

She don’t have a audio book voice. I know i heard the brig and i couldn’t stop listing. But by her it is different. It is not so easy like others. But she is making a good job.

She is visiting someone and is reading him what she had written about her adventures with the Doctor. So it is sad that this story take place after Ian and Barbara left. I am not a big fan of Steven. I liked the family Ian, Barbara, the Doctor and Vicki so much. The landed on the earth and met Jane Austin.

It goes about an egg, a phoenix egg. Vicki is afraid of this egg, because she thinks it will come for her, but the egg get stolen. Also everyone is mention that it is cold. Also the person Vicki read her story to, is also telling that she is getting cold and so. He is also laughing on really special parts of the Story.

We see that all what happend to her still makes her feel bad. Also we get that the person that he read to have something to do with the Story. I really like the structure of the Story and the idea. But the Story on it own, just don’t enthral me.

The very interessting think is what we get to know about her life. The life she choose, but if she know what it would be like, she wouldn’t have choosed it. It is just not my story.

DW: Paradise Towers

Hi Guys,

lets talk about the second story with our new Doctor.

So we have different ‘tribes’ and the red one are meeting the Doctor. They live in the Paradise Tower how has at some point a place for visitors. Some things seems to happen – of course. So the met the red ones and Mel is wearing blue. So she isn’t very welcome to the red ones and it didn’t need a lot of time to get the Doctor and Mel seperated.

So there are pretty much strange people in that story. The caretaker remind me to much of the hitler time and i know that is the intant but i don’t like things like that. But there are also these nice old ladies. The first thought i had was that they want to eat Mel – do i really have to say, what happend. Also there is this guy Pex and he don’t be part of a group. He is a pussycat. Everyone is bullying him about it.

It is not a real surpires that to defeat the big bad, they all have to work together. Also the destiny of Pex is not really a surprise. So yeah the story was not mine and don’t know what i think about the Doctor. Maybe after the next Story i can tell more.

DW: S08x01 Deep breath

Hey Guys,

yesterday me and my friend, the one that brought me to all these series, were looking Doctor Who in the cinema. She didn’t look it anymore but she was there with me. Thank you for that.

Everyone, who reads this will think i am crazy, but i am disapointed from the athmosphere in the cinema. You know that i am coming from the anime fandom. When we watch Movies in the cinema like One Piece or Detektiv Conan, there is an amazing athmosphere. Because everyone is like you and everyone speaks it out. They comment things and i love this kind of looking. Also it is that you always will talk with the people which are siting next to you, if you know them or not. That is everything i didn’t had yesterday with Doctor Who. But lets talk about the Doctor and the Episode.

So first of all, Peter Capaldi is an amazing Doctor. You can see it in everything. The first to seconds were enough to except him as the Doctor. I like his kind of play. The regeneration isn’t going well. Not so bad like the fifth. The Doctor is a little confused and need to sort himself out.

I know everyone loves Madam Vastra, Jenny and Strax. I don’t like them very much and i don’t like that they play like they knew him so long. ‘Here we go again’ Madam Vastra says but she doesn’t know any other incarnation than the eleventh. The Brig had sad that, when she met a new doctor. But the Brig really met a few versions of him. Actually i miss persons like him. People they always come back for an episode.

The Doctor changed and Clara is in schock. It is really good and realistic. I really like who Clara is written in this episode and the actor make an amazing good job. I love the chemestery that is between them. What i love the most is that they actually be friends and nothing more, no flirts. Clara has problems with this new Doctor and she think she don’t know him anymore. I love to see them like that. The Regeneration reminds my of the sixth Doctor or the seventh with Ace. It isn’t the first time the Doctor is dark and don’t have much people skills or let his companion alone. I love how they brought that back.

The best thing about the Story is the interaction between him and Clara. The Story is a little boring and really good. The thing i really don’t like is the part with Matt Smith. It is not against his Doctor. I love to see old Doctors again and again. But i don’t like how the did it. I mean really, i am regenerating and call Clara to tell her do be there with the Doctor. That that is the Doctor? Who needs that? It was unnessassary and doesn’t do Matt or Peters Doctor justis. I love the scene after that. ‘You don’t see me’. But before is … no that is one of the scene i really, really dislike.

I don’t know what i can say about the Story because it was nothing special, nothing really good and i really dislike that Moffats tries to conact everything. We don’t needed something to do with madam pompadue. Also they speak about the woman how gave Clara the number of the doctor and so. It was fun until we saw the scene with this woman. What was that? Really just let it go. It was for the episode and i really don’t like the scene, this woman and how she talks about the Doctor. Please no. Also i didn’t like the ‘i have seen this face befor’ thing. I love ‘fire of pompeij’ and i don’t want that there is more behind it.

I want to Doctor Who not big, i want back my little small stories.

But i was positive surprised bey the episode. So i will watch the season. Let’s see what will follow.

DW: Echoes of Grey

Here we go to listen to the next adventure of ‘the companion chronicles’.

It is featuring Zoe Heriot and the third doctor. Zoe and Jamie had one of the heartbreaking goodbyes in the Doctor Whos histery. So this story after everything is what we all want. We want them to remember.

Zoe has a photographic memory. She was one of the companions, that was more intelligent than the Doctor. So this story starts really good, because you totally can see that this is like they tell, that she has the feeling that she forgot something.

Wendy Padbury is easier to listen as Maureen O’Brien but not so faszinating like Nicholas Courtney.

Zoe is meeting someone that know her from her time with the Doctor and she wants to help Zoe remember. Of course the story is about the adventure they met the girl. They are in something like hospitel but it is empty. Every patient get healed that is what the files say. The doctor is really suspicous about it. Zoe get separate from the Doctor and she finds a room with a few creatures. The Girl that wanted to help Zoe, tells her that she felt so connected to Zoe. I find her really suspicous.

So a journalist is search for her grandmother, who was healed but never came back. When Zoe and Jamie wants to talk to him, one of this creatures suck the life out of him. Also it seems that it know that Jamie and Zoe are hiding in that room and left them alone.

The Doctor wants to see the creatures but they vanished. So they go to search one creature in the workplace. They find something of a fluid that heals/adsorbs everything. Of course the Doctor goes to confront the people behind it.

What i don’t like about the story, that Zoe is not getting what happend. The Doctor explains it to her and the others. Zoe is so intellgent she should have get it before the Doctor explains.

But the story is really good and i love what they make out of it. The creatures are made to remove damaged zelles, and when the can’t take anymore they die. This is interessting because for one the damage zelles aren’t there they take good ones. And the second part is that the made them want to die… this is real cruel. The solution of the Doctor is also cruel, but without much choice. That is the third thing i love about the Story.

The ending of Zoe and Jamie losing all the memories where heartbreaking and i never thought that the can do that again. But the end of the story is breaking my heart and fills my eyes with tears. The offered Zoe everything, her memories, her life, to be whole again and she choose to give all that up, just to prevent this people to make this creatures again. Zoe Heriot this is an ending that take her justis. That is my Zoe i love.

i will totally buy the other stories with her.

DW: Time and the Rani

Hey Guys,

i am really excited to look this story. It is for me the start of the beginning. I will met the seventh Doctor and it is the last on that i don’t know. That means that there are only three season of classic doctor who left an the are not long seasons… I don’t know what i will do without a classic who episode everyday. First i think i will watch Sarah Jane Adventures… and maybe i will start again with the first Doctor. We will see, totally i will hear more audio dramas so Doctor Who will never really ends.

Let’s start with the story. The Regeneration is really sad… because you don’t know what happend an it is just over. But the start is a very good, because they brought back the Rani (from ‘The Mark of the Rani‘). The Rani, was a really interessting character. This time she gave the Doctor something that curse anmesia and is trying to play Mel.

Mel is make new friends on her own way. I think i really like her. Also the Rani is making a really good at her act of Mel. I love the faces she makes.  The Story i don’t i can’t say much about it yet. They actors doing an amazing play and it is fun to watch them.

The seventh Doctor seems to be sweet and really playfull. Mel is screaming a lot this Story. It is a little annoying. The Story is not so interessting but the person make it good. I hope will get the Ranis reason. Because she is not a bad time lord. She is just a cruel scientist.

I am a little disapointed i the Rani motives. She was so much better when she wanted to do her work and not playing god. But i really like her anyway. She is a great character.

I hope we will see such great characters also in the next story. See you than.

DW: Rise and Fall

Hi Guys,

This is a story from the ‘short trips’. I really like the story. It featured the first Doctor and Ian Chesterton. Nothing happend in this story. Ian and the Doctor just stood there and watch. It is amazing and it is a really good described. The others, the aliens are living in a faster time line so you will get the whole story of there evelopement. The whole hystory of mankind. The Rise and Fall of a civilation.

I don’t know what i can say about it, because it only goes ca 30 min and it don’t happend much. But William Russel is doing a really good job reading the Story. I like how he read the Doctor. He has a good feeling for him. I really see the Doctor before me, when he is reading. So i can total tell you that this is worth your time.

DW: Harvest in time

Hi Guys,

after the big let down of the book with the third Doctor i got a recommend from felicityredbarrow  as a good book of the 3rd doctor. So i was really excited to read this book. It featured the third Doctor ( Joe Pertwee), Jo Grant and UNIT.

As i told you the last time, i am not a big fan of the 3rd doctor, but i love his Companions and UNIT so much, that i fall in love with this era and the doctor. One of the big negativ points in the last book were the way the characters are written. In this book the characters are really well written. Jo is never doing what she think is right, the Brig and Mike and the others are very fitting. The Part of Benton could been larger but you can’t have anything. But the best character was totally the master. You can see so much facetts of the master in this book all are totally the master. It’s totally amazing how the autor is playing with this character and the bond between him and the Doctor.

So~ the start was a bit much different perscetive, but it found a really good story flow. Everything was fitting. I really like the Story. Jo and UNIT are fighting against an invasion of aliens and the doctor has to save the master. It’s a great dynamic. The end is a little bit timeywhinny but i can live with it. So everyone who love UNIT or the master should totally read that book.

So thank you for the recommand.

See you later guys.

DW: The Trial of a Time Lord Part 4/4

Hey Guys welcome to the last part of the season.

The ultimate Foe

That is really good. Guys we have a a special guest: the master. I love it. Yeah, totally because i love the master. So the master brings Mel and one of the first adventure to the trial to ‘help’ the Doctor. He is perfect and also let slip how the Valeyard really is.

It is a really good thing, but i don’t get the Valeyards intentions. I don’t really understand how the Valeyards plan could work. Mel isn’t not a person how waits until thinks happend. She go for her sell, she has a little from Jo.

I liked the season, but the end was really bad. He is saving their lifes and everything is forgotten and the take away the strong end of Peri. They telling the Doctor in the truth Peri is alive and living a life as a warrior queen. That is totally one of the worst thinks that they did to a character.

It was made it really bad for me, just this sentence. But we know the Valeyard is still out there and in controll of the matrix.

The next episode is with the new Doctor. The last Doctor i didn’t know. We will see what i think of him.

DW: The Trial of a Time Lord Part 3/4

Hello Guys,

lets look part 3 of the trial of a time lord. The adventures of the seventh Doctor are on there way to me, but know we will talk about part 3.

Terror of the vervoids

So now it is the Doctors part and he is showing an event of the future. So we have a new companion, which is just there. We don’t get how they met or what happend. She is just there and i don’t know what i should think about her. Mel is a little cute and her voice is a little getting on my nervs. In some scene i really find her sweet and other i just think what is that. She is believing in the Doctor like he knows everything and that is something i don’t like very much.

It irritates me a little how close both are. Without we seeing them getting so close. Also it is disturbing not to see any feelings about Peri. I know it plays in the future and so one and in the present the Doctor is in the court. But i just exspect something more.

So again to Mel, i think i can like her. She is intellegent and is springing around. Sometimes she remembers me of a flummie.

So as we get the Story goes about experiments, moral question experiments. They create a species out of plants and it goes out of hand. So it is humans against plants. Actually a pretty amazing theme. Because what is very important to me, Mel is showing the normal part she is schock of the brutality of the plants, but the Doctor shows how you must see it. They just doing what we do with our weed in the garden. They Doctor choose a side here and i totally understands it. There is a decision to make, but i can’t really deny that the valeyard is also right.. a little bit.

So we will see how the season ends in the next part. See you then.
