Veronica Mars: Season 2

Hey Guys,

i wanted to make a break between the first season and the second of Veronica Mars. But with that ending i just had to look the next season. The gifs held there promise and Logan became my favorite person. I really love Logan over everyone in the serie even Weevil – who still have to little screen time.

My crazy love

Logan had a really hard time in season one and actually nobody didn’t really help him. His bestfriend is giving him up and what ever he said it was because Logans father has killed his sister. He left Logan alone the moment he got together with Veronica. It is really unfair that Logan tried to do everything right after the death of his Mum. They more i look the more i begann dislike Duncan. He is such a asshat friend. Also he has so little emotion… and i don’t see any chemistry or anything between him and Veronica. What he does remember me alot of stalking and then she was still with Logan.

You see that i am totally in love with Logan and i just want to hug him and tell him everything will be good. Because it seems like nobody is doing this. So i really cross with everyone that let him alone. Yes Veronica too… no i take that back i am extremly cross with her. Because she goes back to Duncan… can she not wait even alittle bit more than just a few weeks? She most totally be in love with him…Sorry you see how much i love him. This season will be so much pain for me. I just want him happy and maybe even a little Weevil Logan get back together and become kinda friends?

Big Cases

Like in the first season here is a big case. Okay kinda two cases. In the end of first season Logan got accused to killed a friend of Weevil. So this is one of the mystery of the next season. Also we have a bus crash, where many people found their death and Veronica was just lucky to be not at the bus. Sadly the first part with Logan and Weevil has way to little screen time. Am i objective? No totally not, i am so not objective.

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.

Beijing: Summer Palace

Hey Guys,

here comes the second point on my list the summer palace. The summer palace is an amazing palace. The most important thing to know for this trip and i would advice to make it a whole day adventure, you need something like sport shoes. You have to talk any stairs and something like climbing… a little bit. Has you can assume now is that the summer palast is built on a hill what makes it so much more beautiful than the other temple.

Few first infos

If you want to have an audio guide you can take one on the start. You have of course chinese as a language and english. This is a big sightseeing so you have a lot of other languages for example german.
Of course you have to pay for the inlet. No matter if you visit the summer palast or the forbidden city it is all the same way. You can only pay for the main attraction here it would the summer palast or for the whole area.
Than you have to different price one for the peak season – that would be summer – and the low season – Winter. So for summer it would be 50 yuan and 40 yuan in winter. (For germans 1 yuan divide through 7 and you got Euros – in this case it would be 7,14 € and winter 5,71 €). So yes buy a ticket for everything.

Summer Palace
Summer Palace

The area

The area is really big. With the through ticket there are for 6 buildings you have entred to. Summer Palace, Garden of Virtue and Harmony, Wenchang Gallery, Suzhou Street and Tower of Buddhist Incense. But there is way more to see like the mamor boat and the kunming sea.

Kuniming Sea

The sea is taking the most of the area. It is a beautiful sea and you can get with about over it. The boat is driving you around a area with the look at a few pavilions. Sadly i hadn’t that look because we started at the wrong side and lost to much time at searching for the Tower of Buddhist. But my friend told us that it is absolutely worth it.
The buildings close at 17:00 o’clock. But the area is longer open. So we sit there in the park with the look at the sea. It is quite nice.

Garden of Virtue and Harmony

We think when we read garden about green grass and flowers, but this is not what you will find here. Actually you will only find a tree in the middle of it and a theater, what is actually the one thing that is to see their. The theater is really beautiful.

But you can find in the area a garden that is a little bit more like a garden. It is a really beautiful place is a little away from the main road so there are not so much people. So this is a good place to make pause.

Wenchang Gallery

‘The exhibits include bronzeware, jewelry, chinaware, furniture, paintings, calligraphy, ancient books, enamels, clocks, handicrafts made of gold, silver, bamboo, wood, ivory, horn and lacquer, and other miscellaneous items, representing almost all types of Chinese antiques.’
This is what you can read everywhere and you find there really beautifull things. But if you expect something like the juwelry in London for example you will not find them there. There is alot with jade in many forms. You should totally take a look in there.

Suzhou Street

My friend likes this part the most. This is a street around the moat with alot of little businesses. It is a sweet street. The way is really small but it has a nice atmosphere.

Suzhou Street

Tower of Buddhist

You can see the Tower from any points of the area but we had a few problems finding the right way into the building. It is on mountain/hill and you have to ‘climb’ many stairs to get to it but it is totally worth the sight.

So this is an amazing place and totally worth visiting. Hope this was hopefull. If you have questions you can always write me.

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.

Tokyo Ghoul √A

Hey Guys,

the first season of ‘Tokyo Ghoul’ got me very fast, but the second season ‘Tokyo Ghoul √A’ is not so convincingly. When i started watching the second season i hadn’t read the Manga yet. So i can’t say if it is better or not as that. But what i can say is that the Anime is going a differnet way than the Manga.

Kaneki

The last season endend with Kaneki on a crossroad. He thinks that he needed to change and do bad things when it is for the rigth reasons.
So he eat Jason, who had tortured him and joins the group Aogiri. This decision is not really explained. It kinda comes out of nowhere. Jason, who also was a member of the Aogiri tortured him and Kaneki accepts not is Ghoul part but Riz from which he has the organs. This is a big differents. So he beginns to eat Jason, but why he came from that to joining the same group is behind me. I am sure that it has something to do with protecting who is important to him. Because if that is not the case it doesn’t get along with the character we already knew.
But we got very, very little scense with him.

Antique

We see alot about Toka and Himori. It is alot talking and very slow. Toka is not one of my favorite but it is alot about the girls living with Kanekis decision. Nishiki is getting also very little screen time.
But i definitly want more of Hide. He seems to know alot more than he let on. For me it is clear that he heart the conversation in the first season from Kaneki and the owner of the Antique. So he knows that Kaneki is a Ghoul. But it seem like i am the only one that seems to see it that way.

Alot of unanswered questions

We got alot new characters and the backstories are mostly really amazing. But i am sad that the old characters fall into the background and we got not enough information about the new persons. So much doesn’t make sense. Why are so many humans now Ghouls? Why would anyone do something like that? What has the whole storyline from the first part of the second season to do with the second part which is emotionally amazing and really good. Also it brings us characters back to the person they were.

Watching or not

Truth be told. If a season 3 will come i will be watching. This season was big let down for me. It is not that apparently the story is different form the Manga. I have no problem with that. My problem is that the decision is not logic and that we don’t get an explaination for it. We got so many new characters so many plotlines that ends nowhere. The last part of the season is emotionally bringing me down. It is final that makes my cry and break down it is for me the niveau of the first season but it doesn’t conacted with the first part of this season for me? Why is Kaneki now going back when we not even know he even started to leave. What was the reason for all the characters we never say again and never get really explained like the twins? Why are they Ghouls when they were human. Who made them Ghouls. Have i missed a few episodes? Because all that doesn’t make any sense for me. So yes i would watch it but it is totally a don’t watch this season…

Veronica Mars: Season 1

Hey Guys,

yes i started a new serie (or an old one) Veronica Mars. I had to look into the serie that got a film years later and i saw a lot of sweet gifs of Logan (don’t know how they can exist). From the gifs of the serie i thought Logan should have been my favorite character. A sweet boy… yeah no sweet boy – little asshole is the better discribetation. Of course there is alot more to him than that, but that is another story. Truth be told i know nothing about the serie expect for the fact that Logan and Veronica were characters in it and that there is that chemistry between them and the big question did the end up together. In season 0ne it doesn’t look like it.

First Look

So the first look at the serie is nothing i thought it would be. It is actually a little like a crime serie. The cases Veronica is taking are mostly just teenage problems but there is that big case. The death of her best friend that she wanted to solve even when the murderer had confessed. Okay back to the start. Veronica has some of the cool kids. She was dating the cool guy Duncan and brother of her best friend Lily. Lilys boyfriend is or better was Logan.
Veronicas father was the sheriff and when Lily got killed the sheriff suspect the father of her and Duncan. He couldn’t let that theory go. After a colleague arrest someone the case got closed and Veronicas father lost his job. Veronica got an outsider in the school and this is where we start of. Veronica is a taff girl, who actuelly is really good at making friends.
So who killed Lilly and will Logan and Veronica end up togther?

The group

There is no actuall group. We have Veronica and her best friend Wallace. Wallace is there to get the school files of the students for her. Than there is one of my favorite characters, who sadly have not enough screen time – Weevil. He is the leader of a motor bike gang. One of the big bad guys, who are actually really nice. He helps Veronica out a lot with infos or a little backup.
Later we also have Mac or Cindy, who is computer expert and does the hacking and programming jobs for Veronica. She is a pretty funny girl with a nice style.
Of course there is also Logan. Logan does provide help for Veronica. He is more of trying to annoy her the most he can. He and Veronica have a little war going on between them.
Than there is Meg, who is a really sweetheart. She is kinda the nicest girl in school and really popular. She can like everything – okay she can’t but she is doing a lot of stuff – muscial, news reader, cheerleader and so on.
The characters are all very sweet and loveable. Just Duncan is for me not really sympatic. He is way to passive. Yes, Logan is an asshole but he knows when he is done something wrong. He doesn’t hide that he is an asshole. He just hide that he has a really kind heart. He is the typicall teenage boy that tries so hard to be cool. After his girlfriends death he is getting even worse.

Watching or not?

When i would be still a teenager than this would totally one of my favorite series. Maybe the big mystery case would even be a mystery. Don’t get me wrong i don’t know what really happend. But the conlusions Veronica draws are things i suspected at least three episodes before her. So the story is nice and good but nothing that really can surprise me – maybe the finale can.
But the characters grow on you so fast. I love Weevil and Logan is growing on my every episode. In the second part of the serie he and Weevil are my favorite persons.
So good story. Even better characters. This is totally a go and watch the serie.

Htgawm: Season 2

Hey Guys,

yes i am really good at getting up to date here not just with Htgawm but everything else. I can’t tell you much about the season. One reason is that i totally forgot more than half of it before i watched the last few episodes. So here just a few words. After that amazing first season i had really high expectations for the next season and like most times when you have such high expectations it just don’t met up. The story this time is not getting me. It is kinda boring how Michaela got involved with the main suspect like Wes did in the first season. The whole Wes story is for me not really interessting. I don’t even get why we get so much about him. I want more about Connor, Oliver, Asher or Michaela… even alot more about Bonnie would be nice.
The season is for me a let down. With the first season i had to watch every episode when it is out… here i saw the last three episode one day after season three started.
This doesn’t mean that the story is bad. The serie is still good. I just hope that the third season isn’t built up the sameway the other two are.
The characters are the main reason for me to watch the show. Asher is getting a bigger role this season and i really love to see him as a real part of the group.
Also one of the best things these seasons are Michaela and Connor. Their friendship is the best thing about this season. Oliver is amazing and i am happy to hear that in season three he will even be main cast.

So yeah i am here for the characters… hopefully the next season will be not the same.

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.

This is us: Pilot

Hey Guys,

i watched the trailer of This is us month ago and didn’t even remember what it was about. But somehow the name stayed in my head and when i read at seriejunkie.de that the wrote about the pilot remembered that i thought maybe watch this show. This is what i did to day. There are so many serie i need to watch but this is just one episode out and so i thought let’s just watch this.

Crying like a baby

This show got me from the start. It is not a fantasy story or a crime serie. It is not big drama (at least not now). It is just life. It is a story about four people who all share the same birthday. The pilot is just taking us to the day of their birthday, their 36 birthday. They all have a life and their problems. The whole atmosphere they are creating with the characters, the pictures and the music is amazing and really emotional.
This serie made me cry. Okay it is not so much nessassary for me to cry… but this serie get me to the characters and made me love them from the first moment. It is just beautifull.

I just don’t want to tell you to much. Because i believe it would take something from the episode. So you should just watch it and see it for yourself. The characters are so lovely and well written. My favorite parts are the twins that are totall different. Kate is part of a suport group for adiposity and Kevin is a actor with sixth pack in a sitcom. But the conaction and the bond between them is so amazing and lovely. They are so great and sweet together.

You see that i tell you again and again the same. The pilot totally got me and i will watch the serie. So i hope that all the other episode are like the first one. Go and watch this serie because Kevin is right we need to expect more from our series. We are the publicum… we decide what we see and what we get. So start this. This is us…

DW: Exotron

Hey Guys,

welcome to the 95 big finish main range adventure Exotron that featured the fifths Dotor and Peri. It takes place on distant outpost of earth, AHistory is setting it around 2350 somewhere before the Macra Terror. For the Doctors timeline it is somewhere before they met Erimem or after. Anyway Erimem is not part of the Story and they don’t explain were she is.

They protect us

This is beautifull story about missunderstanding about language in many ways. On that outpost of earth are of course humans, but there are als the Farakosh that don’t comunicate like humans. The humans just see them as danger and animals. Than there are the Exotrons. The are devoleped to protect the humans from the Farakosh. But is this really that simple? It never is. They are in a way three species that don’t understand each other. The just reacted to things without thinking what it would look like to the other.
This whole things to we got in a smaller version. Because it goes about a two people that loved each other on some point of their life. She got an affair and the got devorced. All this because of the undoubtly point that comunication is really complicated.

Atmosphere

The Story is really good. I like the themes and it works pretty well. The way the story is told serves to see the simualars between the little situation and the bigger situation. I love how the make this story about love without telling a love story. But something is missing. I don’t get in the story and i don’t know why. Because i like everything about the story. But it is like there is just no spark. I can’t tell you why this is.

B-Side: Urban Myths

The Story is a really nice idea, but i really dislike almost everything about it. Three time lords eats lunch and discuss about the event that lead to the discusion to kill the Doctor. Everytime the tell a little different story. The first time has a WTF-Moment when the tell a story were the Doctor isn’t acting like we know him. You asking yourself what is happend there… it doesn’t make seens like that. But we just get the same story just a little more like the Doctor and again… I don’t know, you wait for something big and different than in the end you just get a story were the Doctor is like always. I am not a fan of stories like that. I hated the endless loop episode of Supernatural…
