Torchwood: Serenity

Hey Guys,

welcome to the 5th adventure of the 5th season of Big Finishs Torchwood ‘Serenity’ with our both sweethearts Ianto Jones and Captain Jack Harkness. It is obviously between season 2 and 3. Because they official together and I love it. We got way to little about them being together. So I looked forward to this adventure and it is so much more than I hoped for. It is one of the funniest Torchwood stories in a while.

Ken and Ifan

Jack and Ianto go undercover in Serenity Plaza which is the most exclusive gated community in South Wales. The are sweet married couple and has to face normal problems like who does the dishes. These Serenity Plaza reminds us a like of the ‘Stepford women’ from the level of creepiness. The perfect little place. We have their charade outside and we have them getting crazy in doors. Ianto is the houseman and bored. So he binge-watched ‘Murder, She Wrote’.

Little Fighting

It is fun to listen to these two flirting and fighting. Because they are both on edge because of this situation. It is a life these can never have. Torchwood doesn’t allow such a normal life. It is so much fun to see them making fun of these things and Ianto is still so into it. That it scares even him. What I really love the most is about this relationship is that they just talk about everything. They are not hiding what the feel. When it cames up the say the things. What the want, what the wished and how reality is. It is really refreshing to listen to this honesty. I watched so many love series and the biggest problem is always the not talking and bottling all up. But these two they don’t do this. They call each other out on their shit and I love it. I want so much more of them.

Torchwood: The Green Life

Hey Guys,

welcome to the 2nd adventure of the 5th season of Big Finish’s Torchwood ‘The Green Life’ with Jack and Jo Grant. This was one of the adventure I really looked forward to. I really love Jo. She was such a great character and pairing her with Jack promise so much fun. This is a sequel to ‘The Green Death’.

Bickering

I could just listened to them bickering all the time. It is so much fun to listen to them. They they interact is so perfect and so Jo and Jack. Jo got older and she lived her live without the Doctor for a while and I always love the Doctors Companion who don’t regret leaving him. I really loved it when the show us that these people had great time with the Doctor and their miss him but the actually are happy in their life. Jo is one of the people who tried to make so much out of her life. She fought to make the world better, she traveled and never regretted leaving.

Difference

Jo left the Doctor and it has her decision and Jack got left and never got quiet over it. He also use to find a solution with a gun when Jo just don’t like them. It is quiet interesting to see them fighting with each other to find a way to achieve the same thing. I really loved this story. It is a typical Torchwood story. Torchwood itself like a big gray area and they never have a totally ‘white’ solution. Torchwood is just so imperfect and it is so love to see. Because Doctor sometimes things he so much better than the humans. The third Doctor for me had always this way of thinking that he has the only right solution. I think most solutions of Torchwood would get his approval. But they tried their best. So it is great to see Jo understanding that. She doesn’t like Jack solution but she listened to him and understands.

High Expections

I had such high expectations for this adventure and it was even better than I imaged it. I think they captured not just Jo’s character perfectly but also the feeling you had watching ‘The green Death’ and the UNIT. It shows the past and how it is now. I really love it. Jack and Jo are a great time and I had a lot of fun listening to this adventure.

Torchwood – The Death of Captain Jack

Hey Guys,

welcome back to the fourth season of Big Finish Torchwood and the first adventure ‘The Death of Captain Jack’. It is a story with Jack Harkness and John Hart. I had really high expectations because John Hart. I love this character and the episode are always fun. So this adventure could also be named ‘The many times John and Jack had sex’.

Dynamic

The important thing when John Hart was in an episode of the dynamic between him and Jack. This love/hate relationship. The friendship and the jealousy between them. They just cant without each other and definitely can’t with each other. This was what Big Finish got across perfectly. They are so similar in many ways and so different in other ways. This dynamic between when you never know if the will save or kill each other. That is so amazing about the John Hart character you never knew which side he will choose – except his own.

Changing History

The Story is about the relationship between John and Jack – what makes it really amazing himself. But it is also a story about John taking things, changing things in History. He is breaking all the rules of time traveling. He is marrying the queen and that are just a few of the changes he makes. Almost everyone has a short role in this. I doesn’t want to say more because you need to listen to this story.

Listing or not

Definitely listing to it! It is a great story. It doesn’t count to the best story and will not make it to my favorite list but it is still amazing. Also it brings John Hart back what is amazing on his own. I missed John Hart. It is a great start in a really great season. Because there are amazing team ups already planned. I can’t wait for the next one with Owen Harper and Ianto Jones.

The Torchwood Archive

Hey Guys,

it is here The Torchwood Archive. I must say that i was a little disapointed when i saw the how small the CD is. The Cd box is really small and i also dislike the way the CDs are stored. But apart from this CD box is beautifull. It is totally Torchwood and embossed silver. Look at it your self.
Torchwood Archive

What is Torchwood

This is a story about the History of Torchwood. The Basic of this story is that Jeremiah – just one guy from a future – that is visting the Torchwood Archive. He is there to shut it down but before he does it he wants to know what Torchwood and Object One is.
So he got lead through the archive by our love Andy which promised fun. But before that he also met hologramms of Ianto and Jack. Which give me so much feelings. This hologramms – more like computerprogramms – are so much like they original were.
But back to the story. Andi is leading him through to different scenes that are explaining what Torchwood is and what that Object One is. So we got scenes in different times and different characters. Some scene are really short others are longer, some seems so useless but everyone is amazing.

What we got

We got a story that i think almost everyone can listen and understand without knowing everything else, but it has so much goddies for the fans. Really got Captain Jack Harkness in his best form. We got Ianto Jones and we got both of them together. We got Gwen and Rhys. Also we have Suzie, Yvonne, Andi, Tosh and many others. Also we get my new favorite Character Norton.
But we got so much. We got an idea of what Tosh and Owen could have been. We finaly got a picture why Hopkins has killed everyone in Torchwood. Also we got a few Information about the Committee. We just got everything you need to love the story.

There is not one thing that i would change about it or what i would bad or could be better. It is just everything. You got the characters you love, get more background stories, hints future stories. One of the best thing was Yvonne scene were the Torchwood Archive couldn’t give information out because it is classified for Torchwood. I just can’t wait for the next adventure with them. The only thing i still need is Owen Harper back.

Listing or not

Suprise, suprise The Torchwood Archive is for me a totally listing too. I mean not tha i every said something else about the Torchwood stories. But none aless this is an anniversary celebration how it should be. It was everything in it. So go and buy this Cd and celebrated the 10 anniversary of Torchwood. It were amazing 10 years with amazing stories. So why are you still reading this, go listen to this story.

Torchwood: Broken

Hey Guys,

Big Finish showed me again why i love them so much the newest Torchwood adventure Broken is what i waited for. The first season of Torchwood is leaving so much holes. Sometimes you ask yourself what happend between the episodes. Their is a book ‘The Torchwood Archieve’ that gives us a little more background information about what happend between but it was never enough. But here we get everything that happend between Jack and Ianto.

Jumps

Normally i am not a fan of time jumps. I think it destroys the flow. But here i really like it. It starts after the episode with Lisa – ‘The Cyberwoman'(Episode S01x04). It plays after my favorite episode ‘Countryside’ (S01x06). Most of the story plays after ‘Greeks Bearing Gift’ and before ‘They keep killing Suzie’.
It shows us how Ianto is trying to deal with Lisas death and come to terms with working with Jack and actually start sleeping with him. We got so much more inside of Ianto Jones and that is always good. Because Ianto is so precious.

New friendships

Ianto find himself in a bar and talking to a bar maid – Mandy. She becomes someone he goes for advice. We see him deal poorly with what happend. He founds himself in a really dark place. We not see often that dark side of Ianto Jones. I actually don’t want to tell more. That just they are investigating missing people and it is just awesome.
Just get the adventure and hear for yourself. This is an amazing story about our broken Ianto Jones and how he get ready to fall in love with Jack. This is were they really start.

Ianto Jones and Jack Harkness forever. I always gonna miss them. I always gonna miss Ianto Jones. He saved Jack in very special way and his death has utterly broken him. I will always find tears for them.

Torchwood: The Victorian Age

Hey Guys,

so I am back from my vacation in Prague and here is already ‘Zone 10’ waiting, but i never wrote about ‘The Victorian Age’. So here we go with the first Episode of the second season of Big Finish Torchwood adventure. Here we have Captain Jack Harkness again and Queen Victoria. It plays on the 17 May 1899.

Alien Hunt

This episode is a hunt through London. Jack is hunting down an Alien that should have been died and broke out of Torchwood when the Queen is there to inspect the Institute. The fun in this Story is the Queen that is going with Jack on the hunt. She is a great character. She sees the world in a different way and is desperate to help her people. She is not running after Jack, most of the time the Queen is running into the action and Jack needs to follow. It is a great dynamic between them. It seems like her walls are coming down and she has fun on the adventure with Jack and on the other hand is shocked from all the pain and death she sees and want to close Torchwood down. They seem close in some scene but there is always a distance between them.

It is a really great story and it is fun. It has humor, really great music and i can just recommand it.
