DW: The Creed of the Kromon

Hey Guys,
here comes ‘The Creed of the Kromon’ the second adventure in the Divergent Universe with the eighth Doctor and Charley (Sherzo was the first adventure). It is the 53 part of the Big Finsh main range and plays somehow after Sherzo.

New Characters

The Doctor and Charley get to know alot of new people. One of the C’rizz is a future companion. C’rizz is a really interessting character. He is loyal and intelligent. He do stuff on his own and don’t wait for the Doctor and his plans. He is not impressed with the Doctor talents, he just like him. The most i love his sacrsm. He is ready to do would has to be done. The Ooorg is another friend. That is a big help for them in the story.

Kromon

The Kromon held other species captive and make them their willing slaves with a fluid they have to drink. They let them work for them and breed for them. C’rizz escaped from them and met the Doctor and Charley. But he is not long free. The Kromon capture them all. The Kromon is a specie that is from the structure totally defierent from the humans. So the do alot of science. The planet they are living on has not enough water for the Kromon, because of the twos suns they have. So they want travel in Space and they also make experiments to clone them.

Break out

The story is alot about break out, get captured and break out again. All three characters have a lot time to shine and their own. Even when it is the same in the episodes it is never boring. C’rizz is making the story really interessting. This story shows us again that Doctor Who doesn’t live because of the Doctor. This story is carried by C’rizz and his interaction with the Ooorg and Charley. The chemistry between them is really amazing and also the chemistry between him and the Doctor is working really good. So we will have a lot of fun with these three characters.

DW: S09x01

Hey Guys,
the new season of Doctor Who started and i am disapointed. I dislike like almost everything but i seem to be the only one that thinks like that… if the season goes on like that it will definitly not find the way into my cupboard. This was one of the worst i have seen. And the Daleks are not the worst of it. Were do i start?

UNIT

What did UNIT become? When something happens they call Clara. This is stupid. Nothing against Clara. I like her very much. But there was for example Martha who really worked for UNIT. But when something happend the call a teacher. UNIT never waited for the Doctor. Yes the Brig made sure that the Doctor when he was there got to handle the big stuff but he made his own calls and could work without the Doctor. They didn’t call for help. They always did their own thing. That is their job. This not cool, not fun this is just stupid. I want UNIT back that is actually UNIT. People how don’t get everytime civilians involved. I like Kate but when i see how she handle UNIT i think we should actually go for a new head…

Genesis of the Daleks

Here the episode is give us something of a really good Dalek episode. The fourth Doctor with the mission to destroy the Daleks. He decide against it and how many time does he thinks back and would do it differently. The ninth Doctor would have done it… would he. Like everyone who follows me know is that i love nothing more about the Daleks than the simualarity to the Doctor. Here we have Davros as a young boy how needs help. Help which the Doctor don’t want to give after he knows it is Davros. He is leaving the boy for death. And the argument that he doesn’t leave him for death because he knows that he survives is bullshit. He leaves him for death and maybe he survives and maybe that is what makes him what he is later but that is all not true. Davros is developing the Daleks for a total different reason and we already know that form the Genesis of the Daleks.

Missy

This was a total grabbed the toilett… no explaination how she could survive. She is back does alot of stupid things without sense and wants Clara to find the Doctor for her. This is the master. The master the longest enemy of the Doctor and he can’t do this on his own? Really… why can’t nobody do anything without Clara? She is going on my nerves and i hate that i have to see the master that lost every character development of ‘the end of time’ again. Missy would have made a good master before Simm as the master but after… totally not.
The way the Doctor and everyone is acting with her is… i could scream. Also Kates don’t shot her is going on my nerves. Really i don’t think that someone should ever shot another person. But the Brig would have never let this slide. The Brig knows how dangerous the master is and would have take the steps…
But hey, let’s play after the master rules. Let her kill a few UNIT soldiers to make sure nobody thinks she is good and hold the fire… and watch how she kills your own.

The Doctor

The way the Doctor is acting… i hate everything about it. The Doctor was not always against weapons but he became a many that hate weapons and the twelfth was not different and he hated everything about soldiers and now he is playing with a tank? He rocks? More relaxed version of the Doctor? This is the eleventh Doctor not the twelfth. The childish, dumb things and the running away and hiding that was the eleventh and i am done with it. The last season the Doctor was deeper than that. Also a testament? Really? He has a new circle of lifes…
But yeah again we have the start with the Doctor will die tomorrow… nothing new… that was the six season.

Also do anyone really think Clara and Missy are dead? This was so stupid and anti-climax… Nothing of it makes any sense. Please…please stop…

DW: Sands of Time

Hey Guys,
i was fighting with this Doctor Who Book ‘Sands of Time’. It is the 22th book of the Missing Adventure Serie and get her print in the Monster Collection. The 5th Doctor is traveling with Tegan and Nyssa and it takes place after Adrics death. The whole is playing in very different time periodes.

Different Times and persons

The biggest problem of the book is that it has to many different times and views to tell. We have two sides of the view of different people. It springs in time and people and you don’t now where, when and who you are. Also nothing of this seems logic because everything the Doctor does he did because he did it before. So in this story doesn’t seemed to be a beginning and an real end. With the time everything gets clearer but i hate to read such little croutons…

An endless circle?

There is a lot of stuff not explained – just a few little things that bother me. Also this story is a circle kinda like the novel Festival of Death. It is not clear were the start point is and were the end, because the do things because they now they do it. But why did they do it in the first place? The bad people do things because they now they happend… but were did it all start.

Nyssa and Tegan

I am not a big fan of these both companions. But this book is not nice to the characters. Tegan has a little to do, but mostly she is bored and Nyssa just has do be a mummy… so they don’t have a good character arc any moments to shine. The only good thing about the book is how they play with the stories in tv serie – like Pyramids of Mars and Black Orchid

DW: Dark Eyes 3 – Masterplan

Hey Guys,
i know that it is weeks after the last part of the Dark Eyes 3, but i listen to the third part again and again. It has everything a good episode needs: Amazing Characters, the Doctor and the Master. The Doctor want to change the rules. The rules that should be changed. This is the amazing thing about the eightDoctor. The Eight Doctor is always an the edge.

Changing the Past

The big war is not come, it already started and the Doctor doesn’t have a solution, big wonderfull plan that makes everything good again. He is always losing. Every step on the way the Timelords using him, the master is one step ahead. So he choose to change the past, to prevant the events that lead to the emenience.
This is bringing us in a situation were the Doctor and the Master need to work. The bickering is really amazing. I love how the talk a little about their past.
Also here again the Master is judging the Doctor and with every right. The Doctor has seen too much, thats why he want to break the rules. The Master asking him what he thinks he is: Jury, Judge and Execution.
The is always the most interessting in their relationship. Their sumularity, the way they judge each other, the mistakes both do to fight each other, how the can’t with each and not without.

Liv

In the first adventure (Dark Eyes 2 – The Traitor) of Liv, I didn’t like her much but over the adventures with her i really beginn to love her. She is really interessting and good character. The relationship between the Doctor and her are unstable. It changes and it is amazing to see what it will be next. In this adventure the Doctor left her with the scientist, which work will be the beginning of the invasion of the Emeniece.

Missing someone

As much i love to have more of Sally the companion of the master. I miss Molly and i miss Molly and the Doctor interacting. But the interactions between Liv and Sally make up for it. Sally is an really clever woman and she really believed in the Master. Everyone will say that this was a mistake, but i don’t think so…not on a personal level of course.
Liv is talking to Sally about her relationship with the master. It is interessting that this are true for many relationships of the Doctor. He had alot of ‘her’ before, telling him how wonderfull he is and in the end their is someone more important – Molly. Yes it is the relationship from him and Sally, or later from him and Martha… it will go on and on. I love Vicki so much more than Susan but it started their. He take Vicki with him to fill the emptiness Susan left. The Doctor and the master are really simular.

This can’t be the end of…

This includes probably a big spoiler. This so sad and it was just perfect… this changes alot – i think. The scientist is crazy. He is doing a experiments. He traps Liv and Sally in two different chambers and let the coincendence decide which will die in the experiments.
Here we see the biggest differnet about them. Liv doesn’t want to die, but she accepted it when she knows that she can’t do anything. Sally can’t except it, she is crying, scream, fighting till the end.
When the Master found out he is depressed about it, but he isn’t showing it and moves on. He take Liz with him.

DW: Dark Eyes 3 – The Reviled

Hey Guys,
the second part of the ‘Dark Eyes 3’ is so much better than the last. It is an adventure like we know it. It is not the strongest story but it is a solide story.

Timelords handling problems

This is why the time lords are interesting and why i so much dislike them. They have their own way to handle problems. They are not the good ones. They have a wisdom about the world but they handle it with great sacrifices and they never try to justify their action. They don’t need to. To kill humans so they can’t fall in the ends of the enemy is an action that is okay. The Time Lords always have a level of the question does the end justify the means.

Reunion of the Doctor and Liv

The Doctor is on that planet to stand in the way of the master. The timecards using him as a chase stone. Liv is also there to help. The human are colonists and the other species is seeing him now in the war as a danger. The Doctor and Liv get together again and i love to hear them interact again. Also the Doctor get to know that Liv is ill and will die. This is bringing the Doctor to an idea. Which we hopefully see in the next episode.

The war

This is the beginning of a war. A real big war and in that the time lords are battling there own. Right now it seems like a play the master against the time lords and the doctor. All the other don’t play a big role right now. But this is what makes it so good and realistic.

DW: Scales of Injustice

Hey Guys,
i started to read the Scales of Injustice of the Monster Collection. The Story was printed as a part of the ‘Missing Story’-Serie. It featured the 3rd doctor, Liz Shaw and UNIT, it takes place between the Storys ‘Inferno’ and the ‘Terror of the Autons’. AHistory is ordering it between ‘The Blue Tooth’ (Companion Chronicles #13) and ‘the Devilgoblins from Neptune’ (Past Doctor Adventure #1).

Liz Shaw

I always like Liz. She is a good person, competent and really intellegent. But also very controlled and seems often a little cold. She is much alike with the 3rd Doctor. This way never get with them. They really devoleped a conaction to each other. They were colleges and nothing more. So simular to open up. I never was sad that Liz left UNIT. This book is the last adventure from in UNIT. At the end of the book she left and i think that is best decision she made in her life. She is better than be an assitent for the Doctor. She wasted her potential at UNIT. For Liz is example of someone which becomes better without the Doctor, better by leaving the behind. She moved. She really likes him and they could have amazing friends, but they never were.

Positive Thinks

I love the way we get an inside in every important UNIT member. We get a inside in the Doctor, Liz and most importantlly in Mike, Benton and the Brig. We see a part his private life. We see how it breaks apart. This for me the most important part of the book and the reason i like it. Also i love how the describe the relationship between Benton and Brig. Benton is always standing on the sidelines and often he is totally for gotten. We see the Brig or Mike from times but so less something of Benton. He was there from the beginning. He is so loyal and a good character and he needs more appreachiation.

Story

This whole thing with C19 and the Glashouse and so one doesn’t make much sense to me. It was chaos and everyone was special, changed and the story doesn’t get me. So we have that whole conspiracy and Silurian in the mix. The Silurian Story was also not the newest or best. But i love the last part when Liz is with them. It showed us that some people are better and Liz is one of them. I love how the take this story to give Liz a reason to leave and do good in her own way. She doesn’t run away from aliens and the danger. She choose to help them another way, maybe not direct way but an indirect way.

DW: Companion Chronicles – Memory Cheats

Hey Guys,
here we go to the second part of Zoes Story of the Companion Chronicles. It plays in Zoes present 2109 and the adventure take place in 1919 August. In the timeline of the Doctor it is placed between the stories Krotons and the seed of death.

the Company

We don’t know much about the company. Just that they are really interessting in her travelings with Doctor and that they intaned to use this knowledge but Zoe didn’t want to help them. So know she brought her in. But she doesn’t remember the Doctor anymore. The woman that question her know, believe she found the evidence for the time travel. So Zoe begann to tell the story.

What happend?

Children just disepair. They are trying to help them. They investigate the disapier. They found out that the creature was crashlanding there, because get shoot in the war. In the spaceship they found the children alive. The creature had seeing the war and everything that happend to that children. He wanted to save them. He wanted to make them safe. The Doctor agreed with the creature and told them that they never saw their parents again. That inflict a terror in the children and also in the creature. That is when everything turns bad.

I don’t want to tell here more because what Zoe did is amazing. I love it. This more about the present and Zoes Story than about the Story with the Doctor.

DW: The Glourious Revolution

Hey Guys,
welcome to one of my audiobooks of the Doctor Whos ‘The Companion Chronicles‘. This time it is about Jamie McCrimmon and of course Zoe and the Second doctor. It is read by Frazer Hines and he did really job. The Story takes place in London 1688, and Jamie tells it to a time lord 42 years after they take his memories away.
The Glourios Revolution plays between the adventures ‘The Space Pirates’ and ‘The War Games’.

Jamies time

This events brought Jamie to the place he was when he goes with the Doctor. He was fighting for King James II, he was believing in him and here we are and Jamie can met his King, that run away. All this events are part of Jamies life before he was going in the TARDIS. This is something important to him. That is why for the first time i remember (maybe i forgotten something) Jamie and the Doctor are fighting.
Jamie wants to change history. He wants that King James fights and don’t go hiding. The Doctor is trying to prevent it from happen. But Jamie don’t understand why. They are always changing things, they are always get mixed up in the events. Why is this different.

The Glourious Revolution

I love the Story because it shows us, what person Jamie is. He shows us that is not a warrior, that he indeed understood what was going on. He believed in his King and fought for him. It makes him angry that the call it the glourious revolution because nobody died … in England…
He referrse to to big battle: the masacer of glencoe and the battle of boyne. This is the second part i love about the story all the historic events.

Time Lords

It strart the same Zoes Story started and i was really sceptical and afraid that it takes something away form the ending of the war games, but it didn’t. It was well written and the choose that Jamie take in the end broke my heart again. It is sad. Sad that he become happy. He lived his life with no regrets. He didn’t lived his life thinking about what happen if he was going with the Doctor. He became a family and got happy. But with all the memories.. with all he had and lost, he knows, so cruel it is to his family, that it will never be enough. For Jamie this life was something more… that is why he decided to forget again.

Doctor Who: EarthWorld

Hey Guys,
it gets complicated in EarthWorld, if you haven’t read the adventures before. So this book is issue 43 from the ‘Eight Doctor Adventures’ and was reprint for the 50th anniversary Collection. What for my thinking was a bad decision. The book is really good but to that later. But it plays with the memories of Fitz Fortune (also know as Fitzgerald Michael Kreiner) and a memory loss of the Doctor. We you don’t know what happend it is a little irritating. This time i will start with a little get too know the companions:

Fitz Fortune and Anji Kapoor

Fitz Story is really complicated when you just read a summery of it. When he first met the Doctor, the doctor travels with Samantha Jones. His travels with the Doctor are like a hop on and off bus. What i definitly know is that Fitz had take is memories and placed them in a Remembrance Tank what rebuilt him. In EarthWorld they say that is not just a copy, that he has the essance of Fitz in him. This re-remembering Fitz lifes a long time away from the Doctor. When the Doctor found him in the end he let the TARDIS re-remember the Fitz he was when they met. So they began to travel again. Than their cames the part i don’t understand, because they are taking about Gallifrey being destroyed by the Doctor – that is why the Doctor forget everything. Again Fitz and the Doctor lost each other but remet in 2001 without memories of who he is.
Anjis Story is quite simple, this book is just he second adventure with the Doctor. She is twenty-eight and had a boyfriend, actor and science fiction fan Dave Young. But he died during a Kulan invasion of Earth. She met Fitz when her boyfriend get into it and he said that the Doctor can help her. But the Doctor isn’t quite himself without memories. When her boyfriend died, she just wants back to work and grieve. But the Doctor can quite find the right time. It is a little like Tegan.

EarthWorld

So the Story plays in the year 2800 on a planet New Jupiter, with people from earth. Most people or the king is an earth fan. They try everything to be like the earth and so on. But their are also the people against it. This terror group is called ANJI.
I like the idea of the book. The new jupiter built a theme park ‘Earthworld’ and the didn’t get the history quite right. So we have a few nice thinks on that. Like the king of Rock, becomes the king of the earth. It is funny to read what they think about the earth.

Everyone against everyone

We have a lot of different interesst groups. There is the king, that just want to be the best king he could be – and so like the earth as they could be. Than there are his 3 daugthers that have totally different plans and are a little crazy. Than there is ANJI that wants to sapotage the theme park, and two other person with different interesst, that i don’t want reveal here. Because the plot is not really surprising but it would take a lot of fun out of the story if you know everything. And between all that we have our heros.

The grief

Anji has the mean part in this book and it is nice to see what she thinks. She as really nice thought like get a T-Shirt with ‘i am the main character, don’t kill me’. She doesn’t want to travel with the Doctor. She just wanted back in her life. That is what makes her really sympatic. Also i like how the book handle her grief. So we can read little messages she wants to send to her dead boyfriend.

The parts with Fitz

These parts are quite confussing. Like told you above, we get much memories of Fitz and that deficult story. They are talking about people i don’t know, Sam, Fillpa, the Compassion… it sound all really interessting, but with out any background knowledge it is just like: ‘cool, i don’t get it.

So yes i can only recommand the book, but i would advise everyone to read the 42 books before that. Because the Fitz part is really confussing.

DW: Destiny of the Doctor – Smoke and Mirrors

Hey Guys,
so here we have the fifth adventure of the ‘Destiny of the Doctor‘-serie with the fifth doctor, Tegan, Nyssa and Adirc read by Janet Fielding and Tim Beckmann. It plays in England in 1920s. Adric is still alive so it must play before Earthschock.

An old friend

The Doctor meets up with an old friend: Houdini. He met the third Doctor and Jo and on another occasion he met the first Doctor, Ben and Polly. So he knows about the incarnation and the time travel. He wants to know the future. So he is an easy target for the master to set an trap for the Doctor. Her we go with another old friend the master. I like the master but this story is just a little boring.

I heart the story just a few minutes ago but it still isn’t stay with me… there is a thing with a tiger, the master taking control, the Doctor almost died and so on.
