DW: Fear of the Dark

Hi Guys,

It is the fifths book of the 50th Anniversary Collection (Past Doctor Adventures) and is featuring the fifth Doctor (Peter Davison) with his companions Nyssa and Tegan. It takes places after adrics death, Tegans departure and meeting again and before they met Thourlough.

At the beginning we have a insight of Nyssa and Tegan. We will learn more about their feelings or so it seems. What is really interessting. But i don’t like the beginning of the book. I mean the written things are good, but the splitting is not my  taste.  For some stories this works well but here i don’t see the sense in it. I will try to describe what i mean. So the book start with Nyssa and the nightmare and than the next part takes place in a mine and Nyssa is hurt. Than the next part is placed after the nigthmare in the TARDIS and than we have the part in the mines with talking. Than we land after this talk thing on a moon and they go out and the earth crubbeld. Than again the mines and Nyssa is awaiking. We are jupping in time with no really reason because know we are in the same time. The earth crubbled and they fall in the mines and than the mine parts take place.

So form my taste it is just annessesary jumping in the time levels.

The persons i find interessting did have much screen time. We have an alien with the crew and find out a little about there life and culture. This is something i find very interessting. How they thing and feel. I just can’t get them totally but it is totally one of the strong points in this book. Also we see the Doctor getting near to lose. Nyssa was nearly dying in his arms. We can see totally what Adric had left in him. I really like to see this other side of the Doctor.

What i really find interessting is Nyssa. We totally get much more about her character, her feelings and so on. Even if she is not really doing anything. Also the book shows a side of the Doctor that everyone often forget. He is using Nyssa and her ill state for his goals.

So we also see the worst fear of the Doctor – losing his friends, letting them down.

I really love the book. After the confusing beginning it really is an interessting story and really amazing. The end is a little ansatisfied. But it is really worth a read.

DW: Revelation of the Daleks

Hi Guys,

i am really sorry if this article is badly written. I have two long days and everything hurts. So please don’t look to close at my writings, I have a little problem to concentrate. But I try my best to write this.

Sooo, it is a new story with the Daleks and Davros and I don’t know what this people are… they are..special… I don’t have a good impression of this story. But I have heard a lot of good things so I give it a chance.

The Doctor and Peri gets attacked and Peri try to save the Doctor and kills the attacker. I really like the scenes after that, because they talking before he is dying and he is forgiving her. She has a really hard time dialing with that and it is a really good scene. I hope that it not just despairs now from the story. I kinda don’t know what I should thing about the evolution of the Daleks out of human. I like the kind it seems but it remembered me of the new thing of the Daleks.

They are really interesting parts in this story again.  But it is all so superficial… it just scratched the surface. So yeah, that is what I say about. It is good and interesting some parts more than other but it never goes deeper… it much more potential.

So we will the talk next about season 23. If I am correct it is the trial of a time lord. I am really excited to see the story.

Bye 🙂

DW: About the Daleks

So guys,

i have say Dalek episodes and in the ‘Dark Eyes’ Adventures tthey take also place. So i decided that i want to talk about them. They are really one of me favorite Monsters in Doctor Who. My lovely peppershaker. Why? It is deficult to describe. The first time i say them i love them. The first Episode was Dalek in NewWho. A lonely Dalek and a existenz crisses. But i liked them a lot because of the story with the Doctor. Like the tenth Doctor said in one epiosde says. He is losing everything and they are always coming back. The Story of the Daleks and the Doctor is it what makes them so interessting.

Than i so the first Daleks Story and really liked the background story so my interesst in them are growing. They are always coming back. They are always finding new ways. What is important is that the Doctor is afraid of them. He hate them but can’t just destroy them forever. It is the relationship between Daleks and the Doctor is the really interessting thing. How different is the Doctor from the Daleks? How often have the said that the Doctor would make a great Dalek and how often have you believed that words from the Daleks? Nothing is just Black and White, or are the Daleks? This questions are what makes them perfect. It is what they could be and what the Doctor could be.

Everytime it gave story with them i am happy. Not every Episode is good, but they are the Daleks and that is what is important. But know i must also so say, that i dislike what happen with the Daleks in season 5-7 in the newWho Era. The Daleks are not afraid of woman with a weapon. Maybe they are afraid of the Doctor but they will never admit it and will never beg (if i am mistaken and it happen in a other episode before, tell me).  Also i think that all that questions and simualiers between them and the Doctor are kinda looked up. Also i hate that there are particles in the air which makes out of Humans Daleks (something simular is part of DW: Revelation of the Daleks) and the worst thing is that a Dalek is hidding in a human shape. Please? Who should that be posible?! That is so stupid and i hate it. Yeah, i am also not a fan of the humind Daleks in ‘Daleks in Manathan’ but it makes more sense than the other thing. So yeah, because of my love to the Daleks i hope that the will be not a part of season 8. Don’t make this worse… please.

So, know you know a bit more of my opinion about the Daleks and for everyone who likes the things in season 5-7. I am sorry, you will hear a lot of  complaints and worse from me if in the new season is something like that about the Daleks…

DW: Dark Eyes 2 – Time’s Horizon

Hey Guys,

we are back to part 3 of ‘Dark Eyes 2‘.

This is really amazing. I beginning to see what they do. In the end of the first part of the ‘Dark Eyes 2‘ the Doctor gave the Doctor all the Informationen the wanted. He actually helped them. But this part one is playing for the Doctor in the future and for Liv it is the past. The adventure with Molly part 2 of the ‘Dark Eyes 2‘ is playing in the Doctors time line befor part one. That is why the begining didn’t make sense to me. So in part 3 the Doctor and Molly meeting Liv at the end of the universe. But Liv didn’t trust or like the Doctor because for her part one was happing and she thinks the Doctor is a traitor. So we have a really ineressting senario.

Molly and Liv getting on very good. I like them both and both are not people how just sit down and wait. They do the things even without the Doctor. We also learn that Liv is ill. So she have to die.

The Doctor is meeting an enemy that he saw in a vision of the future or the past. They try to slave everyone and the Doctor do everything to prevent it and when i remember correctly at the end of part one the Doctor say that the Daleks need to figth with someone ‘The Eminence’ and that is exactlly the enemy the Doctor met in part 3. I think everyone is seeing the circle that is drawn here. It is really amazing.

DW: Season 6

So guys,
i just watched with my father the sixth season. My father is like me and don’t like the eleventh Doctor very much. They are only two things i really like is that they are more companions in the TARDIS a little more like the classic who and Rory. Rory is a really good. His story is really annoying and it is also one of my biggest bad points of not just the season 6 also season 5. Rorys Deaths… First of all why did he have to die? Everytime he dies it loose effect and i don’t be afraid to loose a character in the seasons because. They will just come back – like really bad fairytails…

Second i hate it who the choose to make fun of a really ernest theme. Death is not fun, death is nothing that should loose weight. It is important to talk about it, to show it, but not make not important anymore. That is something i really can’t work with.

So i am not a fan of Amy and i don’t like the did she mean the doctor or rory play. Yeah, she loves Rory but because of how she talk and so you just forget it. Because everything is about the Doctor and Rorys life is just about Amy, that is why many people don’t see what good character he is. Than there is this big death of the Doctor and everyone knows he can’t die there and there is this mystery about the murderer of the Doctor. For me that is totally not logic. Everything with the Doctor and River timeline seems in the serie not quiete right.

Do we actually have to talk about the River Story, because i hate the mystery behind it. It is not really the fact that she is their daughter. What i really have a problem with, that the gave her up and i don’t care what arguments you have. Rory and Amy gave her daughter up. They know that a crazy woman as their child and that she raise it to a murderer. They know that she will not have a pleasent life and they just stop searching for her. I am not a mother but i can say, not even the Doctor could stop me to search for my child as long as i find it. I will not just let it be, will not just forgive the Doctor… Sorry that is something that is impossible for me to understand and i think that Amy and Rory are characters, who would never do that… for me this seems really out of character.

But this season as also one really good episode. It is actually my favorite of this season: ‘The girl who waited’. I like what the make out of Amy. She can protect herself and she don’t need the Doctor. Actually she stopped waiting and that is really important. You see that she hate the Doctor for leaving her but she never hate Rory. For me this episode is really important to understand more about Amy and Rory and also about Rory and the Doctor. Rory is a sweet guy, who want to save everyone, who can’t lie and just want to believe that the Doctor tells the truth.

Amy sees all the good and important side of the Doctor, but Rory sees the other sides and that is important too. Because the Doctor is not good and didn’t save everyone. He makes bad decisions. That is how life works. The Doctor let Rory choose in the end. But he doesn’t really have a choice. This scene just broke my heart.

So the last three episode of the season are not mine. The God Complex is not bad, but there are a few things that are not my thing. Because the episode is about fear and faith. Also with Amys faith to the Doctor. Yes i think the Doctor is right. Amy thinks about him as a hero and he isn’t a hero. But you can just lose the faith in him in a few minutes because he told you what he thinks about themself. It was his fault what happends to her daughter and that they didn’t find her. But she not  stop believing in him. That is not so easy…

I don’t like the final. Because it is amazing how important you can make this stupid guy that just keep runing. He is not so important. There isn’t a whole universe, the whole everything circling around him. I don’t like it how the Doctor get pushed higher and higher. Also i don’t like how they disrespect what perfect persons his companions becoming. Look at how strong Rose is becoming. She is a strong independant woman who can grow old with a men she loved – not like she thinks but when did it happen like that?! Martha is also very strong. She is a medic how works at UNIT and than she is indenpantent. She is really amazing. She choosed to leave the Doctor on her on therms. She has a good life and Donna is also having a good life. Donna is a companion how really lost something because of the Doctor, but if she could remember she would never ever give him the fault. Because that is life. I really hate it…the Doctor don’t break them. He isn’t doing something bad to him.

So, before my father and i will watch season 7. We start watching Torchwood 4. So you will find my opinion here 😉

DW: Timelash

So here we go again,

Peri is trying a new wardrobe. But this time it looked good, she looked chic.

The Story is interessting and the people know the Doctor. He (the Third Doctor and Jo Grant) visited the planet before. I like thinks like that. The Story is nothing special or new. It is planet with a dicator(?) and a few rebels. Than the Doctor arrives and get mixed in. Excatly the story is kinda boring in his developement. George, who seems to be G.H. Wells, is a really good character. It is so much fun to watch him. He was a great companion for one story. He would totally worke well as a long term companion.

So, sorry that i have so little to say about the story, but yeah… i don’t what else to say and i must go to work. So we see us later.

Bye!

DW: Moffats for season 9

The day started so good and than that… No i am not a Moffats hater. He is just not my writter. I don’t like his seasons. That is a fact. I am not a big fan of Amy or River or even Matt Smith as the Doctor. Yes i love Rory but i hate the storyline with him. He brings my favorite monsters, but makes them laughable. He makes really good effects but his storys don’t make sense to me. I find that he wants to make the Doctor a hero but he is not a hero never was. That is just my personal opinion.

So yeah my and Moffats opinion of Doctor Who are going conform. But that has nothing do with what a person Moffats is or if he is a good or bad writter. I don’t know him. The only thing i can say is that of what i saw and read in interview don’t make him sympatic, but this is also my opinion. Of course this is one reason i want a new writter. Because i watched almost ever Doctor Who season and of course i don’t like every episode or every season.

I loved the first two. The Third get warm to, but the fourth i don’t like. And it is an endless run for Tom Baker. The first season with Colin Baker as the Doctor was for my taste to boring to flat. But never did i thought about stop watching. Season 7 did make me totally think about it.

You don’t have to believe me but the reason i really want a new showrunner is not that i don’t like Moffats writting or that i thought about stop watching. I know that there are people how like what i dislike. That is the thing with taste. The reason i think there should be a new showrunner for season 9 (but hopefully season 10) is that we need a change.

We needed a change after the fourth season. Not only in the Doctor, but i the point of view of the Doctor. RTD has different view as Moffats and all the other showrunners has a different view of him. This why Doctor Who was never boring. Everyone sees the Doctor a little different. Everyone thinks that a other part of the Doctor is more important. For me this is why it functioned.

And i just think that we are on that point that we need that change and it is sad that how ever decided it is not ‘brave’ enough to do it. And that is just my opinion, but i think if we don’t change this thing the serie will die. But maybe Moffats is totally suprising us did change the view of the Doctor, but i actually i don’t believe it.

I just hope that he will find something that will make me watch the show. Because i love Doctor Who and i want to love it for the rest of my life. In a few days i will have every episode that are released on DVD in my shelf and i start buying books over books and CD’s over CD’s. So i hope for the best and i hope that i don’t be right. I hope that we will become the new point of view in the next season. You totally will read it here. So we will see what happend in august.

DW: Old Soldiers

Hi Guys,

I was watching ‘The Web of Fear’. It is not a surprise that I love the story. I mean it has the 2nd Doctor and Jamie in it – how can you not love it. But the main reason I love it so much and that I am writing here about is the Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart. It is the first Story he appears and he is such a good character. I miss the adventures with him so much. So I bought the audio book ‘Old Soldiers’ from the Companion Chronicles. It is not only a story about the Brig. It is also read by Nicholas Courtney and he bring his character to life like we know it from him.

The Consequence

Than lets talk about the Story. It plays after the Silurian ‘Invasion’ (Doctor Who and the Silurian). Where he and the third doctor had their ‘quarrel’. A friend of the Brig calls him for help and when he comes see him, his friend had a breakdown and it seems like his mind turns against him. The Brig feels the need to find out why this happened to his friend and calls the Doctor for help.
The Story take the Brig and lets him question his decisions he did as a soldier to protect the earth. He had so many thinks to handle. The people feared an invasion and they distrust the Doctor. His job is to keep this people save.
I really love how the work with this things and decisions everyone makes. But the most I love the friendship of the Brig and the Doctor, which is really good to see.

I just can can recommend it. Everyone who loves the Brig should actually listing to it because it is a good story and perfect insight of his character.

If anyone can recommend other good stories of the Companion Chronicles let me know. Big Finish has me in his fangs 😉

DW: Two Doctors

So guys hear we go again,

with the best Story ever. Because Jamie McCrimmon is in it and the second Doctor. Jamie is one of my favorite companions. He is so good and i love how the play again and again in the classic Stories. I miss this. How cool would it be if the Doctor visited Jamie in the old days or Benton in the TARDIS. What would i give to see Benton traveling with the twelfth Doctor.

I like the beginning. It started with the second Doctor and Jamie in the TARDIS in black and white and than become colourfull. But the best is of course their interaction. What i can tell is that the benter between Peri and the sixth Doctor is really good. So we have two really good teams and i really can wait to see them met another.

Jamie worked quite well with the sixth Doctor. The Story is like the others. But the interaction of this amazing characteres are make it really interessting and exciting. And i really want to know the both Doctors work together.

The Story is one of the Story of season 22 with more than two episodes. It is amazing who well they all work with each other. It is really fun to watch them. So yeah totally the best story of season 22 so far.

Bye

DW: Dark Eyes 2 – The White Room

Hi Guys,

here we are for the next part of the Dark Eyes 2.
So what can i say? The Beginning is like what is happing? I wanted to hear the end of the first episode, because i didn’t get the jump. But it didn’t make it bad. It is a really amusing start. The Doctor met a guy, which threatened him with a guy. But the Doctor whould not be the Doctor if he would react like everyone else. The best thing is that Molly is back. She is like we know her. A big mouth, she don’t take shit from anyone and she wants to help. Molly’s eyes dark eyes are back and it seems to her like the Doctor did it. But she trust him anyway. It is really lovely to heat how the interact with each other.

It seems to go about a disease, that makes people to ghost. The becoming transparent and they are jumping back in time. Molly gets caught and the Doctor goes to help her and he used his old synonym John Smith. Everytime he used it i have to smile because it remembers me of the UNIT-Era. So perfect.

The Viyrans are behind it. They get infected by it and spread it accident in London. Now the search for a cure. Molly is imun so she is becoming their test subject.

Shawn seemed like a nice guy. He was the one Molly wanted to help and was infected. We see him turn into someone which needs revenge to feel better. It is a really interessting story part that is really good. The Viyrans are a specie that is really special and i don’t get them. But they will take place in different stories. The Story ends with a loop and it is really good actually.

It is totally a good episode. I am really excited for ‘Dark Eyes 3’… but before that we will talk about the thrid part of ‘Dark Eyes 2’.

See you later guys 🙂
