DW: Season 10

Hey Guys,

this season of Doctor Who started really good. The stories were not bad and Bill is an amazing companion. But than again there is the big storyline and again it is about the Master. Sorry i really loved the Master and i loved Simms Master but this Missy story got on my nerves…
Make the Master good… really why… Simms Master already had his moment of change. It was when he died for the second time. And i was already annoyed that they brought the Master back after that but just to tell the story again?

I actually don’t want to say to much about this season. Because of the reason that i just don’t have much positive things to say and i hate my own negative. Also i already said all that stuff in the last season. Because it is all the same again. But at least he didn’t destroy the cybermen further.
But than again there was an easy way out. I don’t get why he always brings Companions in situation were there is no way out to just find a way to reverse it. There is not always a way out. Sometimes people just die… that is live and you have to deal with that.
I really hope that the next season will be better.
Even when i am sad that we have to deal with a new Doctor, a new companion and a new writer.

Ascension: Season 1

Hey Guys,

i watched the SciFi-Serie Ascension. Actually i don’t know what to write about it, because everything will tell you to much and the serie is way to short for spoilers. First things first. The serie as offical three episodes. It get aired that way but Netflix (and i thing other streaming services too) have made it into six episodes. So we have Episode One Part 1 and Part 2. Just so you can avoid spoilers.

What to expect

I watched the serie with cleat expections. Stop right here. Don’t watch it with expections. It is totally not what you thing it is. It changed his game and i actually not sure what thing about the serie. There are a few real good characters. At first i just liked a young boy James from the lower decks. But after the six episodes i like way more people. THey are all not the most sympatic persons. They are amazing in there deeps. What they make people believe about them and how they really are. What they thing about the rules and how they deal with it. What will humanity be in a box with limited space, in a real small world.

One important thing

There is just that one season. There is no second one and there will not be a second one. This is the end you have to deal with and without telling you too much. It will be open. So many questions will go unanswered. We will never get to the bottom of the reasons behind. It has alot potential in the last episode to become a great or really bad story. We will never find out what it would have been.

Torchwood One – Before the fall: Uprising

Hey Guys,

welcome to the last part of ‘Torchwood One – Before the fall’. This is the story were everything comes together. Yvonne found out what Rachel is after and is making herself ready for the war. I will not write very much about it. Because this is not very different form the two adventures before. We still deal with the same characters. The focus is still on Yvonne and Ianto.

The way of telling the story is still the same of the other two. Yvonne is show how good she is and his doing her dirty work herself to take back Torchwood One.

Ianto one the other hand needs to deside on which side he is. Does he believes in Yvonne and help her or does he choose to stand with Rachel in the final fight?

So yeah the story is great and amazing. I don’t want to spoil you anything so just go and listen to this amazing 3parter.
It made me smile and cry… it has everything a good story needs.

Torchwood One – Before the fall: Through the Ruins

Hey Guys,

welcome to the second part of this Torchwood adventure – ‘Torchwood One – Before the Fall’. The first part was out of the sight of Rachel. Now that we actually now that Rachel is not what she seemed and she got Yvonnes job, the second story is mostly about Yvonne and Ianto.

Ianto Jones and his day out

This is why i really love this story. Because we got to see alot about Iantos life. We met is roommate and what he tells him about his life. We see him interact with his friends at Torchwood. Ianto is with his two friends out on ‘field day’ for team training. To see Ianto so full of life and without that darkness in him is everything. I love the Ianto we met in the Torchwood serie. But this Ianto is not broken and it is so good to listen to it.

Yvonne cleans up

The other part of the story is not any less good. I really love Yvonne. The way she handles things. You never know if she is really good or not. She isn’t for killing innocent but she also is ready to do everything. Yvonne is such a great and interessting character. In this story she is the ‘good’ one. She is trying to find out what Rachel is up to and how she can stop her.
Also what i really love is the respect that Yvonne has for Ianto. Since Torchwood is her whole life, she doesn’t have many people in her life. But she has a deep respect and trust for Ianto. This i really love, because it shows how much she cares about people. It shows has another side of her.

Listing or not

The solid story became an amazing story. Because now the focus is on the best characters in Torchwood One. Really this story is everything i hope from this adventure. So yeah this is a definitly need to listing to this amazing story. Ianto and Yvonne are the best.

Dark Matter: S03X01/02

Hey Guys,

welcome back to the new season of Dark Matter. I really missed that show and most of all the Characters. The start of the serie was everything I excepted from it.
Truth betold i don’t watch it for the story – not that the story is soo bad. But there is nothing new, nothing surprising about the serie. I watch Dark Matter for the family – the characters and the way they are growing closer is amazing and fun.

Three is back in action

It was the first time I really missed One. Because Three had such a great scene with an old friend of Six that made me thing of the potential that their relationship had. One and Three would be amazing and somehow i don’t give up hope yet. But who knows. Back to watch what really is happing on the show. Sadly Three hadn’t such a big part yet. But the way they actually care for each other… yeah i am really just here for the family feelings.
I love to see them all together. I also love the way they portät the relationship between Three and Five. This is actually why i love the serie so much. The first two episode are alot about Two and Five. Two is griefing and blaming herself for the loses they have to bear. She is questing her decisions and is out for revenge.
Five has problems with her memories. Six and Three don’t have much place in it. But there are these little scenes between them. They may don’t have big parts rigtht now but they are there and it always shows that they care for each other. These little moments when it is Three that ask if the android had told Five about her condition and is touching her to confort her even she doesn’t is conscious.
It is the way the talk about the android and spaghetti tuesdays. That is why i love the show and it is all there.

Four is dead

Four is continuing on his journey. He is ready to sacrifice a lot of people for his corse. But you see he is struggling to actually deal with his friends. I think he still thinks of them as his family and that will bring him in problems. The others on the other hand are dealing with Four gone forever because of the death of Nyxs.
I am sure the Razza will continue to fight against Four. But Four or Ryo has other problems. Mizaki is doing what she is thinking is right. She is on Ryos side in this war but she is not really on his side. She will go against his comand. Like she killed Nyxs because she thought Nyxs would be a distraction. She is taking matters in her own hands and that makes her really dangerous.
Also Ryo is bringing back his teacher and nobody except Ryo seems happy about it. I am not sure but i don’t believe that the Sensei has anything good in his mind.

The course for the next season is set. So lets enjoy this season.

Doctor Who: S10x01/02

Hey Guys,

Doctor Who is back on again. I wasn’t really excited about this season. Truth be told i thought about not watching this season and just start when Chris Chibnall is taking over. Season 9 of Doctor Who was soooo bad and the two christmas special were soo boring that i had very low expections.

So why watching this season when i am so disapointed in Doctor Who for seasons?

Because i am one of the watchers that don’t think you can start with any season. I am a watcher that think that Everything the Ninth Doctor was he was because of the War Doctor. Everything the Tenth Doctor was get backs to what the ninth Doctor was going through and so and so. I am not a fan of Matt’s Doctor but he was the logic developement from the Tenth Doctor.
I think that everything that makes the Doctor the Doctor is found in the season before. So if i just don’t watch a season i miss a part of who the new Doctor will be and i just can’t do this. I watched every freaking Doctor and i didn’t love all of them but i always loved the show and Moffats nearly ruined it for me. I know there are people out there who loves what Moffats did to Doctor Who and that is there right. Also i don’t think that he is a bad writer for single episodes i just don’t think he can write an overall story i like. Also he has a different way to see the Doctor than me.
For me the Doctor never was a hero… for me he will always be the grumpy old man, who run away with his granddaugther and learnt from two amazing teacher that you should help people. He is deep down a good person. He believes in the good but he also knows how the world function. He knows that sometimes there need to be sacrefices. He was a person who never looked back on the sacrefices he made to save himself and his companions or he couldn’t stop looking back.
Sometimes he is a lonely god… but never a hero – or at least not in the way most people use it.
There was always a time something doesn’t sit right with me. I disliked the third Doctor but the way he was with his family with UNIT made him grown on me even when i disliked his character. I was so annoyed by the fourth Doctor. The way the epiosdes with the sixth Doctor was made was just horrible and boring to watch.

I never stopped watching i don’t stop now and i got surprised

Like i said i had so low expections. But episode were not bad. I was surprised in a good way. There is a few stuff i don’t get or don’t remember. That promise thing. Who did he promise to stay on earth – i tried to remember if he promised Clara or Me – but after that he already traveled with River and with Nedal. Soo i just feel like i forgot something.
Apart from that the first episode was really not bad. Losing Clara and River had changed him and i like the way he tries to make Bill – the new companion – stay save. Of course it never is going to work. Both stories function pretty good and the best thing about them is there is no big bad thing. It is just different.

A new student

I liked Bill from the start. She is totally sympatic and speaks her mind. Sometimes there are silly questions and she get stuck on the smallest things but that is what i love about her. We are in a colony away from earth with emoji robots with out any sign about life and she hangs on the fact he has two hearts. So yeah i really like her. Everything i heart about her before was that she was a lesbian – point taken i didn’t informed myself about anything about the season. The first lesbian in the TARDIS as a companion. My first thought was that why the first one? Doesn’t nobody remember Tegan and Nyssa?! But yeah they never said that they were together. They just always seemed like it.
My second thought was who cares. Don’t get me wrong this isn’t about the fact that she is a lesbian. This is about the fact that it was said like it was a characteristic. With Clara there were words like smart, adventures… and with Bill lesbian? If she likes man, woman or both has nothing to do with her character and that is what didn’t sit right with me – like i said i didn’t informed myself so maybe there were really characteritcs know.
But Bill is amazing and her character is great.

The episodes

The story of ‘the pilot’ was good. I liked it. What i didn’t liked was the way the Daleks were used. It was just unnessassary and doesn’t make them scary again. Also i am happy that they are not more in the episode because i am afraid what Moffats will do to them next. He ruint my favorite enimies and make them a laugh number. He rewrite the story to make Davros bad… and totally changed the way the Daleks were made… but this is another theme.
Beside the Daleks the story were great.
The story of ‘Smile’ was good too. I hate the idea of the emoji-robots. I am really annoyed by the emojis in general. But the idea is great and like the way it is told. It has no surprising turns but it is sad and human. The robots reacted more human than it is said in the story. Feelings are always very difficult and the way it is dealt with in this episode is good. It will never be one of my favorite but i would watch the episode again and have fun doing it.

In the end…

Expanse: Season 1

Hey Guys,

since i am into Sciene Fiction and i can’t get enough of it i thought why not try ‘Expanse’ Netflix gave it a really high rating for me and what can go wrong with a show in space. It has space ships and space. So what could totally go wrong?

The answer is easy – Everything.

Who pulls the strings

Expanse takes place in a setting that is close to war. There are earth and there is Mars and the worker colonies and everyone is against everyone. Mars and earth are not on good terms and the worker colonies – the belt – has really bad life standards are about to start a big revolution. The times are hard and the lines really clear. Just who is actually the bad guy it is not. In expanse we got a big conspiracy and we don’t really get the whole story in the end of season one. What is not totally a bad thing and not really a surprise since i know that there will be a season two.

The Belt

Expanse is built up with different stories and people. We got the people on the belt. Here the focus is on a cop that always is in confrontation course. He doesn’t have a high stand with his colliges. He got the case of a missing girl or woman. She ran form home and tried to change the world.
For me this of the borings part of the whole serie. The character is unsympatic and so obsessed with that missing woman and his way to handle things are… i don’t know i really dislike it. I liked his partner but he doesn’t have a big role, because this main character just don’t do team work.

Earth

Than we have this woman on earth. She is a high position on earth – UN Assistant Undersecretary of Executive Administration. She tries to find out what is behind the attack on an space ship by a war ship that has mars all written over it. We see her as a nice person with her grandson but when she is working she can’t lose and is ready to do everything to get what she wants. Everything.
In this part they talk alot. It is about the conspiracy and what all this stuff means for the peace in the universe. It is also mostly boring.

Surviors of the Canteburry

Here comes the only half way interessting part of the show. The Canteburry is the ship that get attack and destroyed by the war ship. A little crew of five people survive because they answered a call for help. They have to look how all the people they work and maybe love or like dies. These people doesn’t get along so good. But the characters here are kinda nice. We have the typicall good one – Jim – who always want to do the right thing. I really like him. Than we have the woman – Naomi – who is the engineer and got herself the comando.
With her is Amos which is the most interessting character on the show. He is totally loyal to Naomi and does everything she says. She seems to be a little afraid of him at times. Amos is a also a person that is always on confrontation curse. He just shoots people when he thing it is nessassary. He doesn’t make a big thing about this stuff. The world is like it is.
Than we have the pilot Alex which is okay but not so much more and the doctor of the team.

This group has a really interessting dynamic and i like them. They are involved in what is going on and try to find out why they actually were attack.

Watching or not

For me the answer is quite simple. Don’t watch… the serie is boring and the story is just not so interessting. The conspiracy behind it doesn’t actually make me want more. The only thing i cared in the serie was the survival of the Survivors of the Canteburry Crew.
Amos is a really nice and interessting character and would be the only reason to even thing about looking into the second season. But i am totally not watchin season two.
Maybe if i really have nothing else to watch… but before that. The Expanse is for me nothing more than a really boring story were i had really strong problems to stay awake.

Torchwood One – Before the fall: New Girl

Hey Guys,

there was no way i couldn’t listen to the radio play Torchwood One – Before the Fall. It is a full-cast drama with three parts. It is the normal packaging as the other Three-Parter. Ianto Jones alone is a good reason to actually listen to it. But after the Torchwood Drama ‘One Rule’ i totally fall in love with Yvonne. So two lovely person in one adventure about the fallen Torchwood One. How could i say no?

I am Rachel Allen

The first episode is out of the perspective of a new girl. Rachel Allen seems like a nice girl that is totally exceited about working for Torchwood. I am not a big fan of her but she seems interessting enough. She interacts alot with Ianto Jones so this not really bad. We also good a few hints of Lisa. The Story is about how she deals with working in Torchwood. Friday night the colleges met and enjoy the evening. At these event Rachel hears a rumor and after that get Reconed. Someone in Torchwood seems to work for someone/something else.

Listing or not

The story is solid enough. It has alot of Ianto and alot of Yvonne in it and that are good reason for actually listing to it. Ianto is Yvonnes personal assistant and him working with Yvonne is one thing i actually need more about. The story is okay. It is nothing special. I am not really into the character of Rachel so it is not a story that completely captured me. But it is solid and has really amazing characters in it and there is more to everything than we thought. So yeah listen to it.

Torchwood Outbreak – Stage Three Invasion: Kill

Hey Guys,

welcome to the last part of Torchwood Outbreak were everything gets together. Everyone is coming to Cardiff Castle (which be the way really beautiful and totally worth a visit).

They warn people to…

The people in charge find out that Jack got infected and got his body to the place Andy is already. Gwen is on the way their and infected. Ianto met the first infected and make his way to the Cardiff Castle. Rhys aready figured out that Gwen wants to kill him…
The people in charge starts to ‘hand out’ the cure…or is there really one?
I really can’t say anything else without telling you to much.

Listing or not

It is the final episode of this story and it is amazing. Not so much fun like the second but it is quite the dramatic finale we know about Torchwood. Every episode is really good but as a whole story they are even better. Everything is quite clear in the end but there is just one thing that is still a mystery and maybe will always be a mystery: Norton Folgate.
This is Torchwood with everything we love and i can’t wait for the third season of Torchwood to start. With alot of stories i didn’t know i wanted sooo badly.
A word about the packaging. It is like the most Boxes of Big Finish. Three single CD-wraps and around them there is cardboard cover. Nothing special but good enough to look not bad.

Stargate Atlantis: Season 2

Hey Guys,

welcome to a few thoughts about season two of Stargate Atlantis. This season brings a lot of amazing characters and i love them all so much. I still miss Grodin and of course Ford but the second season is for me one of the hardest. Because of McShep. This season puts the relationship between them in dark place and i wish that it would takes so long to repair it.

New Team

The biggest change is the team dynamic. After the escape of Ford they got a new team member – Ronon Dex. Ronon is like Teyla not from earth and also was a long time alone. He lost everything to the Wraith. He is an really amazing character but he is not the sunshine Ford was. He is silent most of the time and when he talks it is bitting sacarsmn or just harsh worlds. Ronon doesn’t let people in easy but he cares about them deeply. That is what i love about him that even when he is not close to them he cares and respects every single one of them without compromise. Also he starts trusting his whole team and is so good to see.
But Doranda (which sadly is really early in the season) puts Sheppard and Rodney on a tough path. Rodney is trying to earn the trust of Sheppard back and get that easy friendship back. It is not so easy. The whole season is overshadowed by this accident. They are still almost everytime together but the closeness is missing. Rodney always awaits a hit and Sheppard always brings it up again. With everytime Rodney is ready to sacrifice himself for his team makes them come closer again but there is still the shadow of Doranda hanging over them.

My second in comand

Another gift of this season is totaly Mayor Evan Lorne. He is so great and amazing. I love him and the way he acts with Rodney. He is so annoyed with him but also accepting the fact that he is a genius. He never hides what he thinks about Rodney and in the end he is not calling him McKay but Rodney. That means something and i love that fact.
Mayor Lorne is the one that has always to deal with the crap of Sheppards team and as much as we love this team that is alot of crap. I am pretty sure nobody would do this job on on a voluntary basis. He doesn’t take any shit from them. He knows what he can and what his team can and nobody will give him any shit. He don’t back down and has many time sacrsmn as an answer for Sheppard and the others but he also always have Sheppards back.

Everything else

Also the season brings Caldwell and i love him. He is a good man and good at his job and really everyone would be annoyed by the crap of Sheppards team. Like i said many times before i just love everyone on this serie. But their is not much to tell about the season. Because it was over before i actually started. The final took me by surprise and i only got that it was the final because on the next disc was standing season 3. The season is just about the dark place of the McShep relationship… and all the other crap the universe throw at them.
