Extant: Episode 3

So guys,

i have looked the new episode and there is a lot of potential their. Ethan have his first day at school and it is not easy. The parents are against him there, because they think he is dangerous. Molly is having a really good speech about different. So yes that is it. Ethan is different. Also i think she can deal with these people better, because she was like them, before she start seeing Ethan as her son. For John it was easy.

Also she told John what is going on and actually he handled it pretty good. He is a really good father and a good husband. He believed her and he didn’t trust this guy and he is of course right. The things are getting a really fast turn. So the story is getting a little speed but also i think the take away much potential with Ethan and the school. But it seems that they are a run, so Ethan probably can go to school.

There is these woman, i don’t remember her name. I think she see herself as ethans mother. Because it was and is her project together with John. I don’t like her, she has such a special charisma. But i loved to see Tyler Hilton again. I know that he was in the last episode too, but i didn’t really realised it. I like is play.

I am really excited to see what they will make out of this situation.

Until next time 😉

DW: No place like home

Hey Guys,

the Big Finish is celebrate 15th years of Doctor Who releases. So they have a lot of special prices and so on. Also they have two audio plays on the first day for free. On is ‘No place like Home’ and the other ‘The ratings war’.  Of course i couldn’t resist. So here is what i think about the first one and tomorrow the other.

This audio play is featuring the fifths Doctor and the new companion Erimem. This is in the time with Peri traveling. Erimem is a human from the old egypt time. Peri is in his room and don’t play a role in this story. So this story take place in the TARDIS. It is really lovley to have all the hits of the other companions. We wander with the Doctor and Erimem through the TARDIS, it is really fun to find a few rooms.

Shayde is also a part of this story and Erimem has a cat on board on the TARDIS. The Story is about what means home and about lonliness. I like it. It is a nice entertainment. So go and hear it.

Torchwood: Golden Age

Welcome back,

i love the third radio play of Torchwood. ‘Golden Age’ is a story about Torchwood India. Jack shut it down 80 years ago. But he and his team find it full active with the personal from 80 years ago, which didn’t age a year. Of course Jack thinks there is something not right. Ianto and Gwen are searching for the deadly power field, they witnesed and found Torchwood and Jack is talking to his old flame.

It is a story about changes, about don’t leting go of the past. Some people think that the can make everything right, that somethings are worth to make sacrifces for. It shows how they find a way to justify their action to themself.

Jack has a different understanding than them. He says that he would made it different know, but he don’t want to go back and change it. He don’t want to sacrifce all this people. But he don’t want to see any harm to Ianto and Gwen. When he get that they are in deadly danger, he decided to do everything to save them even if it means to die with them. Okay, we must say that dying is for Jack different, but i think it say totally much about him.

I can just say listen to it! It is totally worth it.

Extant: Episode 2

Hey Guys,

So i looked the second episode. It has a lot of potential, but this episode is a little slow.

It is established that something happend on that mission and that it happend before. The people abouf her no about it or know something. You don’t know what the know or what this mission really was about. They are know more, their were planning something and the search for something and it seems like they found it. Also the established that she is pregnant and she couldn’t become pregnant. We know not much, just that it started before this other guy.

Also we have the family. The boy is in my heart. His eyes and face… i love it. He makes a really good job. But the don’t really used the potential. This whole kid can give us so much to discuss and i want all of that discussions. I really hope that the will make more about. Now that his mom is pregant there is even more potential. I love to see it when this happend.

I heard that the TV-ratings are not really high… that is not a good sign. But we will wait and see.

DW: The Trial of a Time Lord Part 1/4

Hi Guys,

welcome back for Season 23 of Doctor Who. We will see what it brings us. I like the idea of one big story over the whole season and also that the time lords take place in it. Also the 25 minute episodes are back. Yeah!

The Mysterious Planet

So the Story starts that the Doctor arrives at Gallifrey without Peri. The Time Lord accused him to at broken the first Law of Time Travling and take him to trial. They show all an adventure of the Doctor and Peri.

They visited a planet how is simular to earth. But this planet should be destroyed by a fireball. It don’t look like it and when the Doctor find himself and Peri in the old tunnels. He things that this is the earth. Peri is really upsad about it and the doctor really understand it.

I have read that the wanted to be more fun and not so much horror and i don’t like this very much. In the first episode is a scene, where the Doctor is placed in the room and should stand still and everyone is throwing stones at him. He tried to block them with his umbrella but get hit. That is not funny and i hope that they don’t make such scenes into ‘funny’ ones.

I like the idea of the season, but the stories are for me like the other not deep enough… i mean i don’t feel with it. But that is just me. I just really noticed who set up the trail for the Doctor. The Valeyard… this is a really good one.

So we will read us at part 2

Torchwood: Asylum

Good evening everyone,

let’s talk about the second audio play of Torchwood. It is about a girl. She is from the future and don’t remember what happend probably. You find out that she is an alien and Torchwood send her back. For me it is not sure if really Jack have something to do with it. But i know that many people have that theory that Jack himself send her back. The radio play is really well done. I love the sound and the effects. The voice of the girl did a really amazing job. But for my this just was a kind of prologe for the really story that never comes. That is a little sad.

Gwen is in the mainrole here what is for me also not a perfect thing, but also Andy was a bigger role and have a opportunity to shine. I like him and he shows us how people react. He goes from a little girl needs help, to she is dangerous and everything is her fault and then to the understanding that she is a little girl even if she is an alien. What i think is that this understanding is coming to suddenly. I mean it is Andy and of course Andy will understand it and help the girl, but after that outburst i just needed a little more to say yeah of course he understands now. But this is the only thing i really critisce here. It is a good prologe.

The next radio play is one of my favorites. We read us. Bye

DW: Dark Eyes 2 – The Eyes of the Master

So Guys welcome to the last part of ‘Dark Eyes 2‘,

so the story has many conflicts between the characters. Molly and Liv are getting along very well, but Liv and the Doctor have troblems. Because the Doctor helped the Daleks and she can’t forget that. Also Liv is ill, she can die anytime and the doctor didn’t know.

Also there is this company that seems to be behind it. And in this time there is an Eye Company, that is really a good thing. We learn fast that one Doctor there is a time lord. Because he also has a TARDIS. When we look at the Titel i think we just met the Master and he want Molly.

Molly want to check on a friend. So the Doctor and Liv have time on there own. It is not a long time, until she and the Doctor were split. But Molly is finding on her own without knowing were she is searching. I think it is not a good think, that her friend is going in alone. So he is in the hand of the Mater and he just healt is sight… we will see what is behind  all this.

The Master is working for the Time Lords, which offered him a new time circle. They want to use the Eminece to destroy the Daleks. Also they want to controll  the Eminece, some people are imun against them. So the time lords are at the starting point of a really great war. This is really amazing when you see this as the start of the time war. This is really amazing.

Also the Eminece seems to live in the Doctors Mind. The Doctor let the Emenice in but he losed the controll. The Eminece is escaping with the Masters TARDIS and they going to the Planet from the first Story. So the circle is completed. The Daleks are set up for the Eminece and the Doctor is in prision.

We don’t know what happend at the end. We just know that the Doctor is set free and the Daleks aren’t there anymore. Also the Master is captured Molly. This is a really awesome story. Even if some parts are weaker at the whole picture the Story are all so great. I love them. I can’t wait to hear ‘Dark Eyes 3’. Why isn’t November yet?!

So yeah you can totally count on it that i will order it as soon as possible. We will see as then 🙂

DW: Ten Little Aliens

Ten little Aliens is a doctor who book from the ‘Past Doctor Adventure‘-Serie. It got reprint for the 50th Anniversary Collection.

The book featured the first Doctor (William Hartnell) and his companions Polly and Ben. Many of the adventures of this three are partially or complete missing. So it is a good thing to have some action with these characters.

I am sorry i think for a real critic i need to read it again. But what i can tell us is:

At first i needed a little time to get the story of the other ‘characters’ of the Story. But there are a few really interessting people and they have a real role. The interaction with Polly and Ben or the Doctor are really good and entertaining. Also the book is kinda sad, it has some heavy staff in it ( as far as i remember). It was a really interessting book. It was good to read with well written characters.

Just one thing i didn’t like it was how Ben interacted with Polly in a few scenes. I don’t know if this is his charcter and i just don’t like that part of him or it was the writer.

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.
