DW: The War Doctor: Agent of Chaos – The Eternity Cage

Hey Guys,

welcome to the second part of the Agent of Chaos – The Eternity Cage which starts at the same point the other adventure stopped. Heleyan, who works for Ollistra is telling the Doctor that Ollistra is captured by the Sontaron. Now the Doctor needs to help rescue her. Of course we all now the Doctor and is of course helping. It is amazing how much more he is the Doctor than some of the other Doctors.

Sontoron as part of the war

I don’t just understand that part. It is clear why the Sontoran want to be fight in this war. They just live to fight. If they want to be part of the war, than just attack one of the parties or both. Why do they need permission? Also the time lords and Daleks infollow every planet in this war but the Sontoran they just ignored? This bit is not really making sense to me. Sontoran will never be allowed in the time war… wow… good. Why is earth allowed to be part of the war? Maybe we can exchange this with them. Just thinking…
So we have the time lords, the Daleks and Sontoran all in one adventure and all three are trying to figth each other and maybe there is also a traitor in the mix.

Listen or not

It is obvious that you need to listen to the story when you want to listen to the other adventures of the war doctor. This adventure give us a few point you need to know for the next adventure. This box is like the first bound together. The second box were more stand alone than the stories now.
But i like this adventure because they point out something really good and it is a Dalek that did it. Who started the time war? The time lords that just fight to survive protect the time lines? Are they really? Didn’t the Doctor used them against the Daleks in the adventure before (The War Doctor: Agent of Chaos – The Shadow Vortex and what did they do when the Doctor to destroy all the Daleks before they became a threat…
That is why i always get back to listen to the War Doctor story. Because of this little things.

DW: The War Doctor: Agents of Chaos – The Shadow Vortex

Hey Guys,

i started to listen to the third box – Agents of Chaos – of ‘The War Doctor‘ and the first adventure ‘The Shadow Vortex’. It plays on earth. The Doctor and someone else who goes with the name Lara get arrested in East Berlin 1961. What is of course suitable with east and west are in the cold war.

The nameless name

This story is a typical Doctor Who episode. In this episode the Doctor is so much the Doctor. The Time Lords (Ollistra of course) is sending him to earth to stop the Dalek invasion. When the time war started a few planets got protected by the time lords. One of this planets was the earth. That is the reason the earth didn’t take place in the time war. But this is now in danger. Because the shield around earth got weaken and the Daleks are taking advantage of this. They send some one who did everything for the right price and she is really good at her job.
The Doctor take one of the stazi with him on this adventure to stop Lara. It is just like the old times. But i promise you this is totally and with everything the war doctor and that makes it such a good story. It is was so the Doctor and at the time everything he hates.

Listing or not

Yeah i know i write everytime less. But the war doctor story are all in the same way. This one is a little different because it feels like on old doctor who story. But it is like all the others in this serie a good story and i would say one of my favorite so far. So yeah go and listen to it. The other two adventures will follow.

The Torchwood Archive

Hey Guys,

it is here The Torchwood Archive. I must say that i was a little disapointed when i saw the how small the CD is. The Cd box is really small and i also dislike the way the CDs are stored. But apart from this CD box is beautifull. It is totally Torchwood and embossed silver. Look at it your self.
Torchwood Archive

What is Torchwood

This is a story about the History of Torchwood. The Basic of this story is that Jeremiah – just one guy from a future – that is visting the Torchwood Archive. He is there to shut it down but before he does it he wants to know what Torchwood and Object One is.
So he got lead through the archive by our love Andy which promised fun. But before that he also met hologramms of Ianto and Jack. Which give me so much feelings. This hologramms – more like computerprogramms – are so much like they original were.
But back to the story. Andi is leading him through to different scenes that are explaining what Torchwood is and what that Object One is. So we got scenes in different times and different characters. Some scene are really short others are longer, some seems so useless but everyone is amazing.

What we got

We got a story that i think almost everyone can listen and understand without knowing everything else, but it has so much goddies for the fans. Really got Captain Jack Harkness in his best form. We got Ianto Jones and we got both of them together. We got Gwen and Rhys. Also we have Suzie, Yvonne, Andi, Tosh and many others. Also we get my new favorite Character Norton.
But we got so much. We got an idea of what Tosh and Owen could have been. We finaly got a picture why Hopkins has killed everyone in Torchwood. Also we got a few Information about the Committee. We just got everything you need to love the story.

There is not one thing that i would change about it or what i would bad or could be better. It is just everything. You got the characters you love, get more background stories, hints future stories. One of the best thing was Yvonne scene were the Torchwood Archive couldn’t give information out because it is classified for Torchwood. I just can’t wait for the next adventure with them. The only thing i still need is Owen Harper back.

Listing or not

Suprise, suprise The Torchwood Archive is for me a totally listing too. I mean not tha i every said something else about the Torchwood stories. But none aless this is an anniversary celebration how it should be. It was everything in it. So go and buy this Cd and celebrated the 10 anniversary of Torchwood. It were amazing 10 years with amazing stories. So why are you still reading this, go listen to this story.

Class: Episode 1-2 (Doctor Who Spin-Off)

Hey Guys,

everyone i am sure heart about the Doctor Who Spin-Off Class. Actually i loved many spin-offs. Torchwood was an amazing and really crappy show in the beginning. The first episode was the worst i had seen in a while. As i remember correctly the first episode i liked was the fourth episode. I also loved Sarah Jane Adventures and i have to say here i fall in love way faster. It had an amazing friendship between Clyde and Luke and it had Sarah Jane. Some episode were way deeper and more horrible than Doctor Who and it didn’t even try to be such dark show.
So with all that and the fact that Doctor Who just lost so much for me in the past years, i was really excited about this new Spin-Off. I am not sure what to think about this serie but it did a lot right and also wrong.

Can a Spin-Off work with out the Doctor

Let’s start with the point i disliked about the first episode the Doctor. It is not the Doctor per se. I love the Doctor and i love Capaldi and he does a good job in this episode as the Doctor. But i think the Spin-Off would have worked fine without him. I hate the i make you to the protect of that rift… this is stupid and they are just teenagers. He is like ‘hey guys, aliens that want to kill you will come throw that thing and you will deal with it and protect the others. Use your heads.Bye.’ How stupid is that? They know nothing about aliens about aliens or how to fight them, how to get information about them. Nothing. UNIT, Torchwood, Sarah Jane they all had sources and stuff to figure things out… but teenagers don’t need any of this just use your heads?! Sure this is what makes this so bad…

The choosen group

I like for now everyone of that group especially Ram and Tanja and their friendship. Is it to much to hope that they just stay good friends? Tanja is the brain. She is intelligent and way younger than the others. Ram is the sportsman, which have to deal with a robotic leg. These two were be friends before all that stuff happend. I think they didn’t talk in school about when they are at home they are chating and talking alot. Than we have April the nice girl. She is dealing with that crap alot better than others. Because she has a great role model. She just accept that there are things you have to take because you can’t change them.
The last two are aliens. Charlie is a prince of a race that good murdered. He and this protector are the only ones that survived. He is the nerdboy that doesn’t know anything about the world. Luke asked his friends and Charlie is googling everything he don’t understand. The last of the group is Ms Quill. She is the protector or slave of Charlie. Even when i think she deserve punishment i agree with here that this is like a slave. But Charlie doesn’t treat her like that and she doesn’t act like that. So i don’t know what to think about this all.

What i don’t understand why Charlies boyfriend is not part of this group. He was there too when everything happend. He tried to help too and he was there when the Doctor tell them that they all now in charge. But it seems that he is just the boyfriend what excatly is a point i dislike about these two episodes. He could be part of the group and there is no reason why he isn’t.

Watching or not

The story is still needing time to find their way. The show is still struggling for what it wants to be, but i think every Doctor Who Spin-Off did that. So i will give the serie a few more episodes. Beside the episodes are way better than the start of Torchwood…
The characters are sympathic and you can really understand all of them. The serie make sure to make the characters believeable and loveable and does a very good job in my eyes with it. So it is for me a totally watching.

DW: The Wishing Beast

Hey Guys,

here we go with the 97th adventure of the big finish main range – The wishing beast with the sixth Doctor and Mel. The wishing beast is three parter and the other story on the CD – The Vanity Box – is kinda a prequel and sequel at the same time.

They sounded nice enough

At the beginning of the story the Doctor resived a recording, where two siblings invite everyone to join them and visited them. The Doctor who told that his time of running into problem without thinking is over and at the same time he goes visiting the siblings because they sound nice enough. But of course it is never so easy. On the way to the house something like a ghost is warning them to go there. The siblings of course tell the Doctor and Mel that the ghost are the bad. Which one is right?

The great time traveler

The siblings are waiting for special people. A great time traveler, a hero. Of course the Doctor thinks that they mean him but they are actually talking about Mel. They want her to go to the wishing beast and get granded their greatest wish. This is a really interessting thing because Mel is a person that is actually very satisfied with her life. She has nothing like a big wish. I mean Rose wanted her dad would be alive, Nyssa would have wanted to save her father and people and everyone of his companion had something they wished for. But Mel is one of very little people that traveled with Doctor that is just satisfied. Or at least this is how i saw her and remembered her.

A

Of course it is nothing like a wonderfull and peacefull place. In that Town is a Vanity Box that makes the woman younger and more beautiful. This is something i never understand why people want to look younger or try to change how they look. I am not happy with everything i look but i would never even try to change it. But many people see it different. This little story is just what it is a little story. But the best thing is we get to know what Mel would have wished. This wish just got me because it is not just everything i thought about Mel. It is what i would have wished too. I really miss someone…sorry i am just emotional right now.

Listen or not

It is a really good story. I like the way they tell the story. Who is the bad guy and who is the good guy or is there anything like that? Is it all just about love or hate? It is a story about wishes and what they can do to people. So yes go on and listen to this great story.

Lethbridge-Stewart: Beast of Fang Rock

Hey Guys,

the Lethbridge-Stewart serie has confused me a little with the order of the books. I thought the whole time that the book ‘The Beast Of Fang Rock’ is the second volume but i wasn’t quite right. It is in truth the third book. So i didn’t get a lot of hints of the past of the Brig. But it is not really nessasary to understand this story.

This book is not as strong as the first book. It is has a nice flow but the story is not getting to me. I have to say that i wasn’t a big fan of the story ‘The Horror Of Fang Rock’ and also don’t remember much of it. What makes it a little harder to follow the events of the book and the persons.

They way to tell the story

The story has three different time zones. The first one is the present were the Brig and his team is working again together with Anne and also with Owaine Brigs Nephew. I like these two to interact and i hope the books will explore the relationship between them more.
The second zone is 1902. That are the events that take places when the Doctor is visiting Fang Rock. So there is not much story just hints for the Doctor and the episode.
The third zone is 1923. It explains who the story is connected. Also a lot of action is taking place there.
I can’t tell how well the book works around the story of the episode because i don’t remember much of it. But when i start my rewatch of Doctor Who i will try to look into it.

What it is about

There isn’t much to say about the story. If you know the episode you can think how the book is working. But for the others: Fang Rock seems to becursed. Ghosts are showing up and really suspicious lights were seen there in all three time zones. The Brig is still searching for evidence that there are alien threats out their and finds out that maybe other people know more than him.

Just another step closer to the Brig. It is feeling wrong to write about him as something else than the Brigadier. So i hope you don’t mind that i write about him as the Brig. Of course in the story he is not a Brigadier yet. In the story he is still a colonel.

DW: Valhalla

Hey Guys,

welcome to the 96th adventure of the big finish main range – Valhalla with the seventh Doctor. This is one of the adventures were the Doctor is without one of the companions and plays around the year 2345.

Retiered

The Doctor retiered and is visiting Valhalla, where everything is for sale, and their job center. Also it seems like there power problems. A few people work in the underground at the power problems but they are not alone. The Doctor is telling himself that all that is not his problem and that he should just walk away. But we all know the Doctor can never retier. He can never just walk away.
For what i understand is Valhalla under controll of an artificial intelligence that doesn’t work after the ideas of the mayor anymore. She is cuting the power of the mayor and take over.

The Doctor all alone

Of course the Doctor is never really alone. He met the people in the underground a woman and a man and they trying to survive together. They have a good chemistry. But they are both characters that are more in the background. They want to go out alive and they ask much question. It is a shame. The seventh Doctor function for me just why better with a dominant character like Ace.

Listen or not

It is quite a good story. If you love the seventh Doctor go and listen to it. For it is more like i don’t have the feeling that i would missed something when didn’t had to listen to it. I think it is one of the adventure that will just stand in my cupboard and don’t get out again. But i can’t critizice anything, because it is a really solid story.

Gallifrey: Weapon of choice

Hey guys,

like you know (or not) i supscribed Doctor Who stories and you can pick a gift if you do it. The gift i decided on was the first adventure of ‘Gallifrey’. I thought it would be the perfect oppurtunity to listen in the story and decide if i want to listen them. It was an really bad idea. Because now i want all other stories of Gallifrey.

What is going on

I loved Romana and i even loved Lalla Wards Romana even more. When she left the TARDIS i was really sad. But her story isn’t over. She have a lot of adventures on their own. Gallifrey is the story were she is the Lord President of Gallifrey. What i think is a very fitting place for her. But they not just bring Romana back. We also met again with K9 and Leela. Leela stayed behind in Gallifrey because she fall in love. Her Husband Andred died and she wants to know what happend. Romana is asking her for help when terrorist came in the possesion of a deadly weapon the Time Lords forget about.
I don’t want to say to much. But it is way more behind everything than you think.

Listen or not

The story is good. It is not that it is amazing. But the story works and it is really nice to have the old characters back in action. Romana as president is really amazing. I love everything about. Also i love how much Leela thinks of Romana and trust her. Torvald is one of the Time Lords that is working with Leela in this adventure. I really like him. He is an interessting character. Also the story has very politcal background. Not everyone is happy with Romana as president. Also behind the good story is alot more and that are the reason why i will listen to the rest of the story.

DW: The War Doctor: Infernal Devices: Neverwhere

Hey Guys,

welcome to the last chapter of the second Box ‘Infernal Devices‘ – Neverwhere. The second box thematics the question if the Doctor is still the Doctor. Ollistra is calling him this and also believe he does excatly what the Doctor would do. She manipulated him to do what she wants.

What the Doctor does

I believe the same things as Ollistra. He is still the Doctor and doing the same decisions than everyone else. The Doctor is trying to save everyone and is in away naive. Every Doctor is different. Every Doctor as his own way. The first doesn’t care about people. He doesn’t want to help or be nice. He just want to see new things.
The second would without a second thought earse the cyberman from existince, when the third just believes that their is always a other way. You can make this list as long as Doctors are their. For me the War Doctor is nothing to be ashamed of or not the Doctor. He is still trying to save people. He is still doing what he thinks is right. He is a fighter but not a soldier. He is not following any orders. He always makes his own way.
This is actually what i think is the most important thing to the Doctor. The one think that never change. The Doctor what ever he believed in, if he is bad or good. No matter if he is naive or manipulitave. The Doctor is always going his own way. He never let anyone else think for him. He thinks for himself. He doesn’t follow orders, he just follows his own believes. He always make his own way.

Living Hell

This time the weapon Ollistra is after is even more cruel than all the others and very simular to the other weapons. They created a place that can overcame everything. When you die you, you came back to live. You feel the pain. The Daleks and Time Lords fighting and nobody can win. They fight an endless battle. So the technology and the people himself is developing to make the most damage. It is a horrible version of horrible life without hope.

The story is not bad and like the whole box the story don’t get me. I will get the third of the war doctor. But it seems like just the first box got me this excited.

Goodbye Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (this contains spoilers for season 3)

Hey Guys,

it hurts me to actually say this, but i am done with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and will not watch the fourth season. I loved the serie from the beginning and my love only grew stronger. We had 2 1/2 amazing seasons. I know what many of you will think now. Just because they killed Ward…
But Wards death – even when this death made me cry the most and heartbroken – was not the reason for this. I found the idea of a creature like Hive in a head like Ward interessting and in away they were very simular. I know why people think the end of Hive wasn’t strong enough… that he turned in the background and that Lincolns death would be more important. I don’t say you are not right. I love Lincoln but later to that – now i want to talk about Ward. My lovely Ward. The end was for me in away perfect because we saw Hive understanding something. He understood that the connection he created wasn’t a real connection. He understood that the real connection was what Lincoln shared with the humans. We saw Hive tell Lincoln that he just wanted to make the world a better place and yes look at the world. The world is a terrible place. There is war and death and people killing each other. We hate on each other for being different. He wanted to change this. He wanted the world a better place. He did it the wrong way. He did everything wrong for this to happen. But he didn’t knew better. He just didn’t knew better. Ward wanted to make up with his team. He tried to earn back this family but he did it in the wrong way. In all the wrong ways but he didn’t knew better.
Ward and Hive got created be other people. They got tortured and manipulated and were very lonley. All they wanted was a connection, a family, not being alone. Ward and Hive were so much alike. This end showed it to me how simular they were and it made me so sad… because Lincoln understood that Hive wanted to make it better… and i just think all the time what would have happend if Hive or Ward really had someone who cared enough about them and to show him how love function, how relationships work. They both could have made the world a better place.
And that is the reason i watched the show… it is one of the reason.

I watched S.H.I.E.L.D. because i love this organisation. They are so right and so wrong at the same time. They want the right things and always do it the wrong way. They want peace and protection but using the new power to create weapons. They have people like Black Widow and Hawkeye working for them – they are for the kill. Every freaking S.H.I.E.L.D. agent has blood on his hands. This organisation is not good and it is not bad either. This is totally a gray area and every step can kipp the balance in one direction. That was the good thing about the serie. It always showed us that they are not the good ones. They showed us hope. I still remember Wards face when he realized that he just had saved Mike. That he could actually do more than killing. We saw the characters grow… we saw them falling. We saw them failing and winning.

The serie doesn’t make often the things i wanted to see but the character developement was always logic… and i could live with it. I actually loved the serie more for making me hate Coulson. And really in the midseason final of season three i really hated him. He became a person i couldn’t like anymore. A person that gave the victim back to his abuser, a person that wanted to delete their memories to make them better… he just got the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
All characters were so human… they had their flaws not to little… it was amazing to watch them deal with everything. I loved to hate them, i loved to love them. I cried for them and i screamed for them, i discussed about them.
Nothing can take that from me. The 2 1/2 half season were amazing and i will always love them and will always hold them close as my favorite serie.

But the serie made me hate Coulson and it made me hate May. The serie took Jemma and let her fall…she became so dark and really i love her and i understand her but the moment Jemma decided to kill someone in cold blood… i was so disapointed in her… she was a light… it wouldn’t be so bad if they hadn’t made Skye into a younger May.
When May took her training she made her into an agent…but Skye never was an agent. She was their light and their hope. She took the darkness and made it into light. She never looked at the dark, she always went looking for the light. She believed in the good of people, she believed power can change things, she believed that she can change things. Skye was so strong and Ward trained her to survive… he didn’t made her into a real agent… he let her be Skye.
May told her to keep calm to don’t let the feelings out… this wasn’t Skye anymore. When she started using the name Daisy i refused to call her that. But than was that episode were she told Lincoln that everyone should be turned that there shouldn’ be a cure for it. The episode were she went to interigate someone and used her power… that was the moment Skye died. Everything Skye believed in, everything she was… for me she lost it all in that moment. She became what she never wanted to be and that was the moment i accepted her name. That moment she became Daisy and Daisy is not a person i care about. Skye was… and yes maybe that is unfair. Because what ever Ward did i stood with him. But she wasn’t alone… she had so many friends, she had a family… I don’t hate her and i don’t want to made her the bad guy… she just isn’t my Skye anymore… Ward was always the broken boy for me that need to follow orders…

Since we all know that Ward died. It left me with not many people i care about. Bobbi and Hunter left the show. Lincoln died for Daisy…and i am really tired of watching people dying for Daisy… guys that is not a purpose… get a real life… but instead you go and save the earth… damm heros…

So i still care about Fitz. But Fitz is now happy with Jemma and this can be an end for me. As much i loved Fitz, i loved him the most with Ward or Hunter… were he grew above himself… and i will miss this so much…

I will miss the show. I will miss all the characters. But it is time for me. It is time… i hated that seeing the future thing and the every inhuman has a purpose thing (for obvious reasons) and i hated this who is going to die play… so all characters i care about are gone, dead or happy. So this is a ‘good’ end. For everyone who still love the show i hope that it will stay that way. I hope that you all have alot of fun with the show.

I would love to hear a few of your opinions abut the season final…about the characters. So feel free to write me! Please i love to write about this show about this characters. And i will always stand with Grant Ward. You were an amazing character. You were the most gray character i ever say. Grant Ward the broke boy that never had a real chance in life…rest in peace. You were from the first moment until the last moment my favorite character.

Goodbye Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. thank you for this serie, for this characters and thank you for Grant Ward.
