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.

Aos: S02x10 – What they become

So guys,
here we are the mid-season final of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and what do we have to say? My babies are all getting hurt and this is just the middle of everything. So where do we start?

Hunter and Bobbi

Bobbi gives herself the fault for what happend to Mac. That is pretty understandble and makes her – to me a lot more sympatic – but her actions after that, make me go a step away. I am a little like Hunter. I don’t love her, or like her very much, but i definitly didn’t trust her. Hunter didn’t trust her either. He finds her search Macs garage and take a harddrive(?). She didn’t want to tell him about and try to overplay it. But Hunter did see it, but he decide to be there for her. So we see them work together in this episode and it is nice. But i like him more in other combinations.
What is Bobbi planning. I think it’s clear that is actually something bigger than being pregnant – this is a theory i have seen a lot on the i-net, i don’t get how the came up with it. More important is, what ever it is, which side will be Hunter on?

Family reunion

Skye meets her father. She hates her father and she shows this in everyway she can. But her father just take it and tries to go from that. He tells her about her mother and what he was going through. He is a really good bad guy. He has reason for what he is doing and you can to a point understand him. But what i really hate about it, is that here comes a little of the old Skye through i loved. She beginns to see him a little different, what will be a really interessting dynamic in the future. But she is ready to see the reason of everyone except Ward. This is really … yes he hurt her. But really what did her father do, when he tries to kill Coulson or what he did to Trip? Or how he tried to manipulated her into going down there and change? But Ward is so bad…

Ward needs to move on

I love Ward and i am sure everyone knows that be now, because i tell you that every epsiode and i will do it again. Also i know that all that is totally in character but his fixation on Skye is getting on my nervs. Of course he wants her back and he actually believes that he can do it. But he needs to let go and i hope we will see another side of him know. He has a lot more potential and just saying that he has a really interessting relationship with Fitz with should be a focus again.
After he holds all his promises and saved Skye again. She shoots him and i hope that will make him let go a little bit. But the important thing is agent 33. He has a conversation with her about her reason to do things. It seems like he sees himself a little in her and after Whittehals death, Ward take her with him. So the question is what did he wants. Is he seeing himself in her and wants really to find a way to live or is he becoming like his abuser and manipulate her into working for him.

The change

Skye goes down to stop Raina, but she is to late. Coulson is not in time in that stone room but Trip is there and that also is the dramatic death. Actually a good finte. We all were fixated on what happend to Mac and if he could survive it and than they kill Trip. Trips death is a sideeffect of the reaction of the Obilisk. It turned everything to stone – Skye, Raina and Trip. But Skye survives it and will maybe have powers now, also i think that Raina survived to. But Trip not. To destroy all hope for him to survive this, we see the statue break. So we have a new superhero with a guilt complex?
Don’t be angry with me, but i am actually happy that it was Trip and not Mac. I know everyboby loved Trip, but i never get warm with him. Also i want to see more of the secret Bobbi and Mac have.

The last thing

Fitzsimmons is on his way back. We see them in the same room working together, but more important is the conversation between them. Jemma is thinking about a way that Mac survived this. Fitz is seeing this has Jemma being nice to him because Mac was important to him. But than he sees that Jemma actually is right and i think this is the moment they actually get a little closer again. He still has the feeling that he needs to prove himself. Back the can work together and get what the other is talking about and at the end they are hugging – Fitz is protecting Jemma again. This could be the new start we all wished for them. Also with Trips death, Jemma will need someone and i really hope that Fitz is helping her through that time.

So, we have to wait a long time for the next episode. Next year will first start Agent Carter. Actually i don’t know if i want to see it, but it is part of everything so i must?!

Luke tries to be funny and makes fun of a name and this is the child that went missing. So Luke things that what he did. We see here Clyde and Luke boned more and more. Clyde goes after him to be there for him and also he calls them friends. So we have a typical groups. Luke and Clyde and the second Maria and Sarah Jane. Maria and Sarah Jane are investigating and Clyde tries to explain the world to Luke. There is a lasertag game and Clyde just shows him, what it is like by going to it. Luke has pretty good reflexes and is really good at that game a lot better than Clyde. But the make a good team.

Of course they are so good that the get to the spaceship. Sarah Jane and Maria finds out what Kudlak is doing on earth. Kudlak, who take the children, is fighting in a war and they needs new soldiers. Childs like to play war games so it is totally okay to but them in a real war.

Clyde is the one that talks and Luke how tries to figure things out. It is really fun to watch them.

SJA: Eye of the Gorgon

Clyde brings them to a hunted house. Maria is at home and her mother is visting again. So she fights with her mam. Her Mam don’t want her to not hang out with Sarah Jane and Luke. Her father tries to be there for her and she is angry because he is just so calm about it. He is finished about it but Maria is not. That is what i love about sience fiction series. The real world problems. It is not easy to go through the divorce and this is really good shown in here.

When her father is turned to stone and Maria lose it. She was so strong all that time and know she lose it and gave Sarah Jane the fault for it. Of course she doesn’t really think that but is so human and it is really amazing.

Clyde and Luke beginn to form a friendship. They have totally different ways to deal with things but i think that makes them a really good team.

AOS: S02x09 – Ye who enter here

Hey Guys,

welcome to the new episode of agents of s.h.i.e.l.d. which made me think that i should totally stop caring about characters and couples. This isn’t good for me… never was. I am cursed.

Two Teams

The first Team is Coulson, Bobbi, Mac and Fitzsimmons – and it is lovly to see that Coulson still think about them as Fitzsimmons. The second Team is May, Skye, Hunter and Triplett which is for me not really interessting. The Second Team is to protect Raina from Hydra and that is why this part of the story will be interessting for me, because Ward is with Hydra. But the first Team is where the real interessting stuff is. Because they search for this temple that should be the key to amazing power that can destroy many people – a weapon.

Ward and Hydra

I think in this episode we see that Ward is not real with Hydra. He has his orders. Orders that say that he should bring Raina to Whitehall and shoot the s.h.i.e.l.d. bus down. But Ward change everything in that plan. He brings Raina but he also brings Skye so she can meet her father and the important think is he didn’t shoot the bus. That shows me that he use Hydra for his own plans and this is a comforting thing.
Skye and May see the report of Christian Wards death and it hurts me like they see the world black and white and really believe that that guy was one of the good. I don’t say that he should have killed him, but they never even acknowledge that this guy could abused Ward and that is what he did. Just one thought… this two characters are for me really disapointing.

Fitzsimmons… or what is left of it

Fitzsimmons don’t talk anymore. They try to go out of their way. Here we see once Mac talking to Fitz to talk to Jemma, because it is time. I think he is right they need to talk more than anything. Also i understand why Fitz don’t want this. He feels save with Mac and this is something he felt with Jemma but this feeling is lost. He can talk almost normally with Mac and with Jemma he can’t speak a sentence.

Bobbie is talking to Jemma. We see a little more what is going on in her and i think it was time for it. We never really saw how it looked in her, just her excuses. But here she talks about what happend for her and i understand her – even if it doesn’t change me opinion over her reaction. Jemma says that she only saw him as a friend and i believe that that is true but now it seems that there could be more.

The talk between them, which Mac forced them to do isn’t a really good one. Jemma wanted to explain herself to bring them back together, but Fitz is doing the oppiste. He wants to work with Mac in the garage and leave the laboritry to Jemma. He can’t work with her anymore. It seems somehow like a end for Fitzsimmons.

But down in the tunnels it is Jemma how helps him finish the sentence. What i think is also forced from Mac. Because he always tries to end the sentences and most times he can, but here he forced him to do it on his own so Jemma can help. So yeah for me this is Mac helping them to find a way back together.

The last of Mac

In this episode the bring a very interessting thing in about Mac. The last episode Hunter asked Bobbie what her plan is. He thinks that she is doing something on her own. He doesn’t trust her. When Coulson is explaining the plan and says that he wants to blow the temple up. Bobbie and Mac had that exchange that look and i think that they work together on that plan, what the plan is and blow the temple up isn’t good for there plan. This becomes underlined with the conversation the had in the plane. He is asking her about Hunter, about them back together. What is for me an interessting part because here we see how long this three know each other and this has for me really much potenial. But he asked the question if she told him about ‘that’ and she say that he don’t. So i think Hunter is right she is doing her own thing and Mac is in it with her. This has so much potenial.

Than Mac goes down to the temple and he touched an alien writting and he becomes really strong and kinda loose his mind. It reminds me a little of the staff from asgard, which Ward and May had. He attacks his team and Bobbie stops him, but than he falls down and Coulson wants to seal the tunnel, because he think Mac is gone. I hope is alive. Because this character has so much potenial and mysterys.

Fury would have

The last thing about the episode is the conversation from Bobbie and Coulson about that weapon. She ask him if he is sure that he wants to blow that up because it could be important. It could be good in the hands of s.h.i.e.l.d. and Fury would have wanted that weapon. Coulson thinks so too. He thinks that Fury would have wanted that weapon for s.h.i.e.l.d. but he is different. He wants to safe people. For Fury was a number of reasonable coltarol damage, for Coulson that number is zero.

Don’t let more people die i like! There are so many people i don’t care about or don’t care anymore. But of course those people just survive everything. But we will see what the midseason final brings us.

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.

SJA: Revenge of the Slitheen

So,
Maria and Luke go to the new school. Luke is of course the boy from the first episode Sarah Jane adopted. Luke is totally clueless. Clyde is a boy from school, who is interessted in Maria, but Luke is part of it.  Clyde found Luke special.

Luke feels like he don’t fit into all that. He don’t like school and want to stay at home. This is a problem many people have. He don’t fit in and that is a real society problem. I like Clyde but people like him make it for many people really difficult. But also he is totally interessted in him. He tried to talk with him, but Luke is just special. He doesn’t know anything about society. He has to learn all these things.

Science problems are interessting for him so. His first action on school is to give the Slitheen the solution for there problem.

Clyde  found about the aliens and handle it pretty well. Also he is actually pretty good at seeing the little things.

Sarah Jane did something we know from the Doctor, give them a chance to turn away.

In this episode you see why it is so much deeper than a few Doctor Who epiosdes. The Slitheen has a child with them. At the end they are trapped in the door and will die. The father is begging for his sons live and Sarah Jane wanted to save them. When Clyde was happy that the win, she is saying that it was a child. That is the amazing thing about Sarah Jane Smith.

Falling Skies: Season 2

Hey Guys,
i know that i didn’t write about season one of Falling Skies. This is not because i didn’t like her. It is because it is a while when i watched it. So when i rewatch it someday i will write about it. I bought it a while a go, but i didn’t watched. Of course i saw it already but it is always a little while ago.

Hal and Ben

The both has a complicated relationship. Before all that the where the brother that fighting with each others alot. But now the just don’t find a way to each other. They are fighting and they don’t understand what each other drive. They both just want the family safe. Both are struggling with the new life. Hal things as the oldest he has to keep everyone of the family safe, he has to protect them. Ben is fighting with changing of is body and mind and trying to find is own way.
After Ben left them, Hal has much time to think and i think that this is something that is a restart for the relationship.

Can we trust Tom Mason

At the end of the season 2 he get in the ufo and he didn’t really know what they maybe did to him. He didn’t trust himself. But Weaver wants to trust Tom and wants him back in the old position. For Tom it is not so simple. He wants that Hal shoots him when he is a danger for the others. Matt doesn’t reacted pretty well to it, but it also make Tom see a whole new side of Ben, what disturb him. Because Ben is just hating them and Tom wants him to change to make love the thing that let him survive.

Ben and Jimmy

Ben has found a friend in Jimmy and this is a good think. That is what he needs. I think not just Jimmy is important for him and his developement. Also the trust that Weaver puts in him is good of his self-esteem. Jimmys death is breaking something in him. Also it makes the the relationship between Hal and Ben more compliated. Ben thinks that they think that it is his fault that Jimmy died. The real problem is that he thinks it himself.

Bens situation

Ben was always different from the others, but after Jimmys death. Something changed he stoped hating the Skitters. He has contact with one of them. They tell him that they are always fighting against the overlords and they want a aliance. When Karen comes back the position of Ben is getting worse. Because he nows that there is something wrong with her. Ben don’t want them to talk to her. He knows that he is manipulating him. But this takes the problems with Hal on a new level. The real sad thing is that he trust Karen more than is own brother. That made us see how broken the relationship between them allready is. It needs Maggie to see through all of it. Even Ben falls for her, maybe because he wants someone which is like him. Someone that understands him. So he is not alone anymore. So is it ironic that he choose this way to go? That he choose to leave his family? I don’t thinks so. I think he understands something, about family, about fighting and sacrifices. He choose to go his own way.

Lourdes

She was always a shining person. Lovely, full hope and believing in god in the good things. She always saw the good side and never stopped believing and hoping. But this season we see her break and it breaks my heart. She found someone Jamil, someone she saw a future with and she lost him. This is the lost that breaks her down, she stoped believing, stoped hopeing. She just do what is nesassary.

Save haven

A flight is coming to tell them that there is a new parlament. So they take the chance and going to there. On the way they have to fight many problems. For the life of Weaver. I love the journal that Weaver is doing and the relationship between him and the Masons. But like you already know when you read this is that i care most about the Mason, mostly Ben.
But the safe haven isn’t like they thought. This parlament doesn’t want to fight anymore. The second mass had to give the weapons away and the kids don’t believe in the second mass. So Matt has big problems with them.
The second mass has a big advantage. They trust each other and they know what they want. They want to fight, they want to do it together and they will do anything. Nobody feels like this is his safe haven.

The last fight

The second mass – the task force of them – is going on the suicide mission. This is not surprising, this is what they always do. We saw this before when Ben was meeting with them. That the second mass knows so much more about the aliens as that new town. In that fight they lose so much Skitters that are on their side and Dye. Dye was such an great person, someone you always count on. This is a really big loss for the group. The Aliens did something with Hal and that will be in the third season. Also what the new aliens are that we see in the end. Also we know that Weaver and Mason decided that the second mass will leave this new town.

Now i want to watch the third season… mann…
