DW: Planet of Giants

Hey Guys,

welcome to the second season of Doctor Who with the first story ‘Planet of the Giants’. The story is just to mock Barbara and Ian. The actually landed in the right time (June 1969) but they got a lot smaller. That makes everything more complicated to achieve.

Too small

The story is nothing special. Ian finds himself in a murder case. They try to get justice for the victim what is not as simple as it seems when you are so little. For me the story itself is a little boring but it is kinda funny and interessting to see how they try to get stuff done in that size.
Also it is really a hard hit for Ian and Barbara to be that close to home. Sometimes we forget that they just want to be home. They grow to love the Doctor and Susan and also the traveling and the adventures. But in the end they still just want to get home and back to her life as teachers.
That is another reason i love these two. They know who they were and what they want in life before they met the Doctor. Of course the travel change them but they only make them more aware of what they really want.

Lucifer: Season 1

Hey Guys,

because i don’t have enough series and amazon prime was having the advertising everywhere i started to watch Lucifer. Yes and four days later i need a new serie because i watched the whole serie. Somewhere in September as far as i know will come the third season and i am really excited about it. So yeah you probably can guess that i liked the serie. But i didn’t fall in love with the serie from the beginning. So here we go – just so you know i know nothing about the comics.

Luci

So Lucifer is the devil himself that took a vacation – with no intentions to ended it – on earth with his best friend and demon Maze he got to earth and built up a nightclub. When our story starts Lucifer is already 5 years there. What can I say about him? He speaks…i really dislike this way of speaking. But Lucifer is not a sympathic guy on the first look either. He is selfish and selfcentered and closed off. But most of all he is like a kid, a kid that tries to rebell against his father but in the end just wants his father to love him.
His attitude and his chemestry with the detective which he starts working with make the serie a amusing pastime.

God and the devil

But the serie got more than this. We didn’t get what acctually happend. Just that Lucifer doesn’t want to go back and want to play his father plan anymore. Than there is that one episode. It is with father Frank. The relationship in this episode between father frank and the devil himself is amazing. The way the talk about god and believes, about fate. How they got close to each other. It is amazing. The best his that the father Frank doesn’t change his opinion about god or did Lucifer. The discussed it and both still believe what they believed before. I really love that part.
Also i love the god is not the good one – not totally the bad one either. He is definitly a shitty father.

Go watch it

I love the serie. The humor is a little sex heavy but the characters are great it makes fun to watch them grow and grewing they all do. The Detective, Lucifers psychiatrist, his brother, his best friend and the detective Ex-husband. All of them grow over the serie and is fun to watch it. To go this way with them. I love it and think about it… is there devil sitting on your shoulders and tells you what to do… you decided and when you get to hell you will get your punishment for that.

DW: Reign of Terror

Hey Guys,
welcome back to the last adventure of the first doctor who season – Reign of Terror. Sadly to episodes of the story are lost. On the DVD these two episodes are reconstracted with animation. The fotoage is missing but both episode have the full-length audio soundtrack of the original. The animation is… I have seen why better animations. But the look of them are not bad. Just little passive? Just for information the missing episodes are the 4th and 5th.

The story plays in late July 1794. It tells us the Happings of the days before the 27th July. Ian finds out really fast that they landed in the France Revolution.

Welcome to France

I love stories like this. The Doctor and his companions are involved in this but everything would happen if they would be there or not. They don’t change history, they don’t save history or someone. Everything they do just is important maybe for the people around them. But the bigger picture is untouched by this. We learn about the down fall of Robespierre. There is so much information in this story about the history.
Also Barbara tells us something really important. Ian is quick to say ‘he deserved what he got’. Barbara points out that this is easy to say but not true. She makes clear that both sides have the right points. That you shouldn’t judge and with the knowledge they have the should know better. I really love her so much.

The End

This is the end of the first season of one of the most amazing series i have seen. I wish we would again get episodes like this. Episodes that just teach us about the History, about right and wrong and you time can change the view of it.

Psych: Rewatch

Hey Guys,

with all the talk about the Psych Movie the uninvetable happend – I had to rewatch all seasons of Pysch. The truth about the Serie is that i would have never watched that show without my best friend. I just had seen a trailer with all that stupid jokes. My friend told me that the show is really fun and that i actually should try it. Normally my other friend – She is just a serie junky like me – recommenand series for me. But this time it was my best friend and so i gave it a try.

Since I already told you that i rewatch the serie, you can tell that i fall in love with Psych. I love every bit about it even the lovely dump humor. Shawn is sweet as he is stupid. Shawn definitly has a charm and he got me from the first moment. I love the serie because so many things.

Psych is fun and most of the time crazy. The cases are not sooo serious but also the show has his serious moments. That is why i love the show so much. It is sad and tragic but it always makes sure that you laugh. There aren’t many episodes that ends with you not laughing.

What the serie is for me

Another reason to love the show and that is first of all the relationship between Gus and Shawn. They lie to each other, they use each other and call each other names. But they never let each other down. When it comes hard of hard they have each others back. They fight and don’t talk to each other but they always forgive each other. That what i love about it.
What brings me to another reason to love Psych Juliet and Lassiter. Lassi is amazing and a little problematic with the things he says. He gave Juliet sometimes a hard time. But he learns to respect her and as her back. He would do everything for her and the most important thing is there are no romantic feelings involved. It is complete platonic friendship.

Of course there are more amazing relationships. The other two are Shawn and his father. The show lives also from this little scenes about his past. His father wasn’t the father of the year but he tired to prepair Shawn for everything in his life. So the relationship between them is a little rooky but they love each other and we see them grew closer over the serie.

So the last relationship i really love is Shawn and Juliet. They grew closer and from the start there is this romantic undertone. The possiblity is always there and they really need a while but that is why i love the relationship. They go slow and built up over years and they work so good with each other.

Don’t ever grow up

I love the athmosphere they are creating and i love all the puns and hints of other series. I love that the don’t take themself so seriously. I love the serious moments as much as the silly moments. I love that they are refusing to grow up. Because i think that people do that to often. Hey of course you should a bit more serious about work. But i think it is a good thing to stay in many things a kid. Don’t take everything so serious. Look out there. There are so many adventures and beautiful things. I really believe that we all should be alittle bit more like Shawn and Gus.

The Final

The best thing about Psych is that it ended at a high and the serie final was everything Psych always was. I didn’t often saw such a perfect ending for a serie. Actually i try to think of one. Oh Person of Interest and White Colar were pretty good. One tree hill was not bad either but i still wait for the kiss betweeen Chris and Chase. But that is a different theme.
Truth is that there are not many serie finals out there which are not disapointing or better than okay. I literally just stood before my DVD shelf and thought about the endings in all shows that are standing there…
But back to Psych. I am sure i have written it here before but Psych is a perfect ending. This episode was silly and funny and i cried my eyes out about Shawns inability to do for once right thing in many important relationships for him and the worst of it is that he knows it and tries so hard. But it is Shawn and everything we love about him. Every character is amazing in this serie and every relationship Shawn had with the people around him gets his time. It tooks us back to all the fun we had with them.
And in the end it is just life. Another really ends it just changes. The life goes on and on. People leave and others stay behind. You will always have the memories you made with them. All this 8 years will always stay with Shawn and so will the 8 season stay with us. There is just a new chapter starting.

Why i am so silent these days and a goodbye to Teen Wolf

Hey Guys,

this year is not mine. I had alot of problems with my workplace and i kinda think that this will continue after i am actually back at work. Right now i am at home for nearly 6 weeks because of a tendonitis and it doesn’t seem to get better. That is also the reason i haven’t written much these days because it is so hard to type with just one hand.
I hope it will be better soon… it already takes long enough.

But now to a the reason i actually write this. Today i found myself very nostalgic after looking the two episodes of Teen Wolf of the last season. Sunday – for me monday – everything will be over. Teen Wolf will be over. All of you know that i loved Teen Wolf and also loved to write here about it and believe me when i say i will write about again and again.
This serie was one of the reason to get this blog. I made this blog to talk about Doctor Who and Teen Wolf. Now it ends and i am happy about it. The people who read my articles know that the last season wasn’t mine. I loved season 5 and the end but i almost disliked everything about season 6.
But there were so much about Teen Wolf i loved and this is the reason that i thought that i will write a little about it. I thought about something like a meme. Right now i am working on it, on what i want to talk about.
There would be the main things like:
favorite Character
favortite relationship and so one

but i wish i would be more creative about it. If someone of you have any ideas or things they wanted to know, write me and i will make them part of it.

Next Monday i will show you what i thought about and try to get you everyday a great answer maybe i even find the time of making a giflet but i don’t promise that. So start the work.

DW: The Sensorites

Hey Guys,

welcome to the next adventure in time and space with the story – The Sensorites. The Sensorites are an interessting alien race. In the future story ‘Planet of the Odd’ hinted at a possiblity of kinship. The story keeps place in the 28th centuary. There is no exact date give. In two of the episode we sadly has to do without Barbara because the actor was on holiday.

What is going on

The Doctor and his friends lands on a spaceship from earth. This Crew is in a ‘war’ with another alien race – the sensorites. The Sensorites are a kind race that didn’t know mistrust and murder. But when the humans arrive everything changes for them. This story is about fear and distrust and courage.

Susan and the sensorites

The Sensorites are a telepatic race and it seems like susan is very sensible in this kind of area. So she tries to talk with them. She tries to take the place normally the Doctor take. The Doctor doesn’t like it very much and i don’t think she is really good at it but you only learn by doing.
At some point Susan says that trust has to be earned and of course she is right but on the other hand why mistrust people how never gave you a reason to doubt them? Why is it wrong to trust? To have this trust in everything. In all the time before the humans came to the Sense- Sphere, there was no lying, no power fights, no murder. So why distrust his people?

Watching or not

I am not a big fan of the Sensorites and many things are very clear from the start. There is little in it to surprise us. But on the other hand is a solid story about what fear can do to a race. This story shows us how a race can change, how the human race brings out the worse in everyone. So yeah it is still a good story.

Tru Calling: Season 2

Hey Guys,

here we go with the second season of Tru Calling. The second season just has six episodes and no real ending. Sadly the second season took almost everything good out of the serie and than not even gives answers. So yeah i don’t like this season but it is not all bad.

Everything lost

After Lucs death Tru is working even harder to save everyone and Jack obvious is trying to prevent it. And here are we at the point that i dislike the most about the serie – and no it is not the absends of Luc. The season is about the fight between Jack and Tru. Sadly the stories about the victims became so much background that it really annoys me.
Than of course Luc is missing. But he is always part of the talks and stuff. So we never forget that he existed and that he was important to her.
But that brings me to the next part that don’t sit right with me. Lindsay was always part of Trus life. She was amazing and she always was just one call away. Now she got married – hated that part of season one – and is living in London – i think. We not ones see a phone call from her or a postcard – not even to Trus birthday.
I really hate it. Also they don’t talk about her. She is just gone and i really hate this.
But she has new friends now…
Also her big sister never get talked about again… did you forget that she actually had a bigger sister?!

So much hints…

The season is promising answers or at least we hoped she would. We know that her father killed her mother and that he is like Jack. But what is Jack and why does he think that he is the right one? Why does he knows rules? When the fater is still alive why has Jack now his abilities?
The father wanted to built a bond to his son so that he would go against Tru for his father. We never seen anything like it. We didn’t see a bond between them, we didn’t see the bond between Harrison and Tru ripping – nothing…
Is there a real reason behind all that. What price had Jack to pay for the death of Luc because his death was against the rules. Also when Tru saved someone she wasn’t supose to save what consequence would be there? We never see one – except that this guy really creeps me out after his survivel.

Highlights

The reason i still watched the show was Harrison. Harrison is still amazing and totally worth watching for him. Also there is one episode and i wished there were more episodes like this is the third or fourth episode were Jack got asked for help. We see a little more of Jack and what he thinks and feels. For the first time i liked him and felt with him. Jack starts overthinking his job. He thought of stopping…this episode was so amazing and i loved it so much. I really wished we could have seen more of that side of Jack.

DW: The Aztecs

Hey Guys,

here we go with a new historic adventure – The Aztecs. It takes place somewhere 1430 – where Yetaxa died and was – and 1480. You can find different dates but the book of my trust is setting it around 1454.

How the story goes

Like the title says the story goes about the Aztecs. The TARDIS lands in a tomb of Yetaxa. Barbara had written about the Aztecs and is faszinated. She leaves the tomb and her comrads follow her. Just to find out that it is a one way door. You can go out but not in. So they have to find another way to get back to the TARDIS. The Aztecs think that Barbara is a recarnation of Yetaxa and that brings Barbara in a situation were she tries to change the future and stop the human sacrifices.

Changing History

The story is a really interessting story but changing time. Can you change the future or not. Barbara is at that point were she tries to change the outcome. Every companion has the moment. Barbara is one of the companions that doesn’t want to change the outcome for herself. Rose for example tried to save her father. Donna tried to save all the people of Pompeji. But Barbara didn’t know the people she tried to save and there were no big event like the volcano. She is faszinated by the Aztecs and wanted them to change to stop unnessassary sacrifices.
I really love Barbara for it and i love that the relationship between Barbara and the Doctor revivels so much about the Doctor.
The Doctor become more open and friendly and is fun to see him change and grow closer to the people around him.

Tru Calling: Season 1

Hey Guys,

welcome to my opinion about the serie ‘Tru Calling’. Tru Calling is an older serie from 2003. At that time i had my Buffy phase and wanted to watch the serie because of Eliza Dushku but somehow i never did. After White Collar and The normal heart i am in my ‘I-watch-everything-with-that-one-actor’-phase. So this would be Matt Bomer. Like i said i watch White Collar, The normal heart, Magic Mike, Magic Mike XXL and the only serie i don’t like him in Chuck. For people who are like me, he doesn’t have such a big role, but let’s talk about this a little later.

For everyone who hasn’t seen it yet and things about watching it here is one thing you should know. There is no ending. There are no answers. The second season has six episodes and just ends – more about this in the article of season two. But if i had known i wouldn’t watch the serie or at least not the second season. But back to the point.

Calling Tru

Tru is the main character. She is a young girl which just finished High School and wants to become a doctor. She wanted a job in the hospital but ends up in the morgue. Not just that she is also the one for the nightshift. So great job and even better work hours.
Here also starts the really story. Some of the dead people asking her for help. When a dead person asked her for help Trus day rewind and she goes again.

Happy family

Tru is also the one of the three children that seen the murder of her mother. when she was young. The family is really broken. The father let his family down and married his affair and has new kids with this wife. He just stopped being a father for his childrens and always makes them feel bad. Trus bigger sister has a drug problem and her younger brother is a player, a small crook… and always in trouble.
Tru and her brother Harrison have a really close relationship. She always looks out for him and he is so loyal to her. He would do everything for Tru and she for him.

Other Accomplice

Of course Tru has more person in her life than her family. There is her best friend Lindsay and that is actually really amazing. I remember Izombie were the friendship starts ripping. But here it doesn’t. Yes Lindsay is not happy about her new job and sometimes she is angry at Tru for not showing up. But one thing never changed and that is that these two are best friends. They always talk to each other. The phone each other over small stuff. The friendship is amazing and totally one reason i love that show.
The other reason is Luc. Luc is a sweetheart. He works as a crime scene photographer and starts dating Tru. He is the nice guy everyone wishes for. Really i would take him! He is my favorite character. He is also the one with the really bad luck.
Harrison always has a bad day and his sister rewind the day she calls him and tells him what he can’t do. So he actually always gets a better day in the rewind.
Luc is the totally oppisite. Luc normaly has a really good day and everything starts fine and than Tru rewind and somehow fate always makes his day alot worse.
The last important character is Daves. Daves is the forensic doctor. He is a little special but a really great and good guy. He also knows a little about Trus secret.

Surprise, Surprise

Let’s be honest. The characters are great. The story is not bad but definitly can’t surprise you. The twist and turns are obvious and the fate of a few characters are clear after the second episode they are in. If you look for surprise you are wrong. If you look for variety you are wrong too. Every episode has the same structur. She get asked for help. The day rewinds. She get her family back on track, tries to help prevent the death of the person who asked for help und makes Lucs day bad.
But the serie is more about the relationships, about the people she tries to help. The stories are sweet and sad and sometimes tragic. You can just watch and feel with these characters. I really liked it.

DW: Keys of Marinus – Rewatch

Hey Guys,

welcome to the next adventure of the Doctor and his new family – Keys of Marinus. Sadly it is not really the next story. Between this story and ‘The Edge of Destruction’ is the story ‘Marco Pollo’. This story is not out on DVD. The story got lost over the time. Hopefully the will find it somewhere. Here in this story. The Doctor and the Crew are already friends and respect each other after the action of ‘The Edge of Destruction’.
Again this story is hard to set in the time line. There is no date given and also there is no indication were it might happen. My trusted source is setting it in the Prehistory time. For everyone that wants to know alittle more about it, i will writte about it in the last point it holds spoilers to future stories.

You need to help me

This story is built up a little different than the others. The Crew get asked for help and when they refuse they got backmailed. Our crew is send out to find the keys that got hidden in differents places. So this adventure has many mini-adventure and two of them are without the Doctor, because William Hartnell had a two-week-vacation. The story is alot faster than before and the last part comes a little short.

New pace

The story is really good. The whole atmosphere is different. Barbara and Ian stopped talking about going home. Barbara and the Doctor starting to become really close. We see a family growing together. It is fun to see them growing closer.

The History of Marinus – might have spoilers

There is a really interessting part of dating this story in a time line. Future stories about Marinus give the planet an interessting turn in History. The story ‘The World Shapers’, which is a comic strip from the ‘Doctor Who Magazine’ reveals that it has a big role in the History of another big monster in the Doctor Who Universe. Marinus will become Mondas the home planet of the cybermen. I don’t know if there are any indications for the time in Doctor Who (2005) Season 10 but before that the time is a wild guess. My source is saying that the story of ‘Keys of Marinus’ just make sense after the first rise of the cybermen in the story ‘The Cybermen’ and of course before ‘The World Shapers’.
