DW: The City of Spires

Hey Guys,

welcome to the 133rd Big Finish Main Range Adventure ‘The City of Spires’ with the sixth Doctor and Jamie McCrimmon. What can be better than another Doctor meeting one of the best companions ever. I really love Jamie. Jamie is like the Doctors best friend. The dates in this story are really complicated and I can’t say so much about the time with telling to much. What I can say is that Doctor things that Jamie looks like it was twenty or thrity years ago. It is taking place in Scottland.

The most alive person he met

Jamie and the Doctor parted in ‘The War Games‘. The Time Lords made Jamie forget everything about the Doctor except the first time they met. For Jamie it is like he never choose to travel with the Doctor. I still think that his and Zoe (and Donna) have one of the saddest endings. But all that is not part of this article. The Doctor is meeting Jamie again. What puts the Doctor a little of is that Jamie don’t remember him or better the other him. There are no memories of Polly or Ben. Jamie is a little different. The Doctor says that Jamie was one of the most alive persons he met. But now Jamie don’t have much hope and even when he still fights he thinks that they are already dead.

Nothing made sense

All the information given doesn’t make much sense. The Doctor realizes which figths this are but this doesn’t work with the time he things had gone by since he and Jamie had to part ways. Jamie not remembering him is another thing. But since when is there a Overlord and why are there oil-pumping maschines. For people like me that know almost nothing about Scotlands history you got the big mistakes like I already mentioned but there are a few names that appear and doesn’t seem to fit. I really love how this story plays out. It is like the travels with Klein or the Mila storyline. It is a three parter. So we don’t find all the answer and let us want to know how this will all play out.
