DW: Silver Nemesis

Hey Guys,

so welcome to a story to featured the cybermen,  two people travels from the past through time to find the power and a group of soldiers whats the same. In all this the Doctor and Ace standing.

It is an really interessting idea to have three groups fighting over the power. Nobody should win, but that is life. For me it is too short and not deep enough. I want more and i want deeper stories. The Doctor must of the time just sit in the green and hears Jazz music.

And here is a question ask by Ace, who are you.

DW: Happiness Patrol

Hey Guys,

now we are looking a new episode. It is from the design again a very special episode. There is the hapiness control and the literal candyman. I don’t like Ace very much and the last story don’t changed anything about it. Actually it seems like she does nothing. That is a step back for Doctor Who because the companions were ever the best of him. We don’t need someone how workship him and all she do is getting violant. I am hoping for more.

In this Story Ace is doing something. I don’t like her and she don’t get any real ‘action’ but she has something to do. The Story is not mine but the idea is pretty good. Because that’s how the world works. They want to controll everything. But you can just be happy if you can be sad. You need both. But i think the people will never learn that. What is really happiness?

At the end you have almost sympatice for the ‘villian’ and you must change your picture of the Doctor. Because how he saved the day, is cruel. This is a cruel Doctor and i like him that way. I can see the developement the Doctor was going through and the whole big picture is really amazing.

So see you for the next Story.

DW: Remembrance of the Daleks

Hi Guys,

i am really excited to see this episode ‘Remembrance of the Daleks’ because like the title already says it has Daleks in it. Also they promised me UNIT – I miss understood that. They mend a organisation LIKE UNIT not UNIT itself – and there is nothing i love more than them. So i have a high expectance for it.

So in the first episode we see the military that does hear what the Doctor says. Ace didn’t get warm with me and of course some Daleks. And for the first time in the classic we see that Daleks could climb stairs. But the second episode don’t is very interesting. Ace is not getting any sympathy. I hope there is coming a lot more to her character. She is brutal and a little dump.

So in the third episode you see a few things i don’t know what i should think about it. The little girl who is everywhere is working for the Daleks. It is – i don’t know – there is nothing in the episode I specially like. For me it is like they wanted to do something like UNIT, but for me they don’t succeed. There is not really a chemistry between the people and the Doctor. The character for me are to stereotype, to flat… there is totally no UNIT feeling coming up, just stupid army people. Even the ‘betrayal’ of someone don’t get me because, who cares. I don’t get any of the characters.

I hope for really good characters, I hoped for Mike, Benton, or the Brig. Characters like that make a story good. But this is for me (and of course some of the reasons are my ‘freudscher’ reading mistake) a totally disappointment.

You could make so much more out of the fight Daleks against Daleks… i am really disappointed. The only good think is that we see the dark side of the Doctor. The fourth Doctor had the order to eliminated the threat of the Daleks on the roots. But he couldn’t do it. He couldn’t do a genocide on the Daleks, even after everything they will do. But the seventh Doctor just destroyed Skaros. He destroyed a whole planet without much thought. That is a totally different Doctor that is a Doctor which is far away from the way he walked long ago. He wanted to see the galaxy, he wanted to explored the universe, than he wanted to make a differents, he wanted to save everyone and now he is becoming a warrior, he is becoming something dark. You can totally see that some day he will become the Valeyard.

DW: Destiny of the Doctor – Shadow of Death

So here is the second part of ‘Destiny of the Doctor’. The second doctor is featured in this story with Jamie McCrimmon and Zoe Heriot. Both really amazing companions.

It starts with a really interessting question, who old are they. The Doctor is making fun of Jamie and tells him that he is thousand years old and of course jamie didn’t believed him. But when he tries to think how much time he traveled with the Doctor he could answer that.
When they land he is telling them the whole time that they are save and of course their not save. They are never save.

So it seems like parts of the planet there on are jumping in another timeline? So parts are moving faster than others. Also there are this shadows, that makes people age really fast and die. Thay think that this shadows murdered the civilasation on that planet.

The Doctor becomes of course a messages of the Doctor. The Story is nice. Really good to hear. Freazer Hinz is making a really good job with his readings. He really good at speaking the Doctor. It is really amazing how he did it. I like the turn they are making with the shadows, that they only wanted to comunicated. The Story is good but nothing really amazing – just a nice story.

DW: Dragonfire

Hey Guys,

in this story we meet the new companion Ace. I am not a big fan of her. She is loud and noise, she is handling problems with brutality. But we will see what is beneath all that. Mel and her have a lot of time to get jused of each other. They seems to get along fine. But Ace don’t get me on her side.

The ice gardens are really nice to look at. Also we have an old friend. Glitz is back there and is part of the adventure again. The Story just shows our true nature. We think first of all on us and do what we get the order to. Just kill a creature how is if you don’t want to harm it is totally harmless.

There are so many little stories of person how really have anything to do with the story. The Characters are not really intersting and the stories are not so much interessting. It is to much for me. This little kid in the really horrible blue dress that has nothing to do with the story… and there is so much more. Also i am really sad that Mel is going. Because. I love more people on the TARDIS. Maybe it would be more fun than with Ace and her, but so we have just Ace on board of the TARDIS.

I hope she will develope into something i like.

DW: Destiny of the Doctor – Hunters of earth

Of course i couldn’t let out a 50th years anniversary special and of course i have the TARDIS version of this special in my room.

The first volume is about the first Doctor (William Hartnell) and his granddaughter Susan. I am not a fan of Susan. But the story is not bad.

The TARDIS is damaged and the Doctor is trying to repair it and in this time Susan is going to school of course on the famous school ‘Coal Hill School’. It is like what happen before they met Barbara and Ian. Susan is make a friend Cedric. Of course that is not the story. It beginns with that girl what goes kinda crazy and going to attack Susan and telling her that: she is different and that nobody wants her here, she should just vanished.

Also there is in the radio a song that is from the Doctor for Susan Foreman and Cedric with a very special message about Woodstuck and the Beatles. Also ‘it is all in the wind, Cedric’. What do we made out of it?

The Doctor tries to become a few parts for the TARDIS and there is a guy, who seems to know more about him. He thinks that the Doctor operation basis is in totterslane. Also a few teenagers are attacking the Doctor and tell him ‘that he should go to his own species’. So it seems that many people know about them. So it is not what it seems first. It is about the people who are afraid of the unkown and the desire to use the knowledge of this unkown persons. It is about the Doctor and his opinion about the humans, what has nothing to do with the opinion he had in the new serie. It is about fighting wars.

It is on of the better Stories from this series. Oh yeah, Carol Ann Ford is reading the Story.

DW: Delta and the Bannermen

Hi,

so this episode is quite different. If good or not i can’t say yet. The first scenes remember me of Star Wars, she looked a little like Lela. The Doctor and Mel are going with a travel group and everyone is a little different. They get stranded in Wales.

It has actually a special dynamic. I have the whole story i had the feeling i missed a thing. I don’t know what, but something doesn’t feel right. It is a really strange love story and it has a really interessting dynamic. The Music is really good. It has something different. I don’t know how to discribe it, it is really fun. Also this girl, i forget her name would have made a really good Companion.

I know it is not much. I write about it. But i don’t know what i should say about it… you just must watch it…

DW: Frostfire

Here we are,

i have listened to a new story of ‘the Companion Chronicles‘. It featured Vicki and is also read by her actor Maureen O’Brien. Her voice is a little different, i needed a moment to really identify it with her.

She don’t have a audio book voice. I know i heard the brig and i couldn’t stop listing. But by her it is different. It is not so easy like others. But she is making a good job.

She is visiting someone and is reading him what she had written about her adventures with the Doctor. So it is sad that this story take place after Ian and Barbara left. I am not a big fan of Steven. I liked the family Ian, Barbara, the Doctor and Vicki so much. The landed on the earth and met Jane Austin.

It goes about an egg, a phoenix egg. Vicki is afraid of this egg, because she thinks it will come for her, but the egg get stolen. Also everyone is mention that it is cold. Also the person Vicki read her story to, is also telling that she is getting cold and so. He is also laughing on really special parts of the Story.

We see that all what happend to her still makes her feel bad. Also we get that the person that he read to have something to do with the Story. I really like the structure of the Story and the idea. But the Story on it own, just don’t enthral me.

The very interessting think is what we get to know about her life. The life she choose, but if she know what it would be like, she wouldn’t have choosed it. It is just not my story.

DW: Paradise Towers

Hi Guys,

lets talk about the second story with our new Doctor.

So we have different ‘tribes’ and the red one are meeting the Doctor. They live in the Paradise Tower how has at some point a place for visitors. Some things seems to happen – of course. So the met the red ones and Mel is wearing blue. So she isn’t very welcome to the red ones and it didn’t need a lot of time to get the Doctor and Mel seperated.

So there are pretty much strange people in that story. The caretaker remind me to much of the hitler time and i know that is the intant but i don’t like things like that. But there are also these nice old ladies. The first thought i had was that they want to eat Mel – do i really have to say, what happend. Also there is this guy Pex and he don’t be part of a group. He is a pussycat. Everyone is bullying him about it.

It is not a real surpires that to defeat the big bad, they all have to work together. Also the destiny of Pex is not really a surprise. So yeah the story was not mine and don’t know what i think about the Doctor. Maybe after the next Story i can tell more.

DW: Echoes of Grey

Here we go to listen to the next adventure of ‘the companion chronicles’.

It is featuring Zoe Heriot and the third doctor. Zoe and Jamie had one of the heartbreaking goodbyes in the Doctor Whos histery. So this story after everything is what we all want. We want them to remember.

Zoe has a photographic memory. She was one of the companions, that was more intelligent than the Doctor. So this story starts really good, because you totally can see that this is like they tell, that she has the feeling that she forgot something.

Wendy Padbury is easier to listen as Maureen O’Brien but not so faszinating like Nicholas Courtney.

Zoe is meeting someone that know her from her time with the Doctor and she wants to help Zoe remember. Of course the story is about the adventure they met the girl. They are in something like hospitel but it is empty. Every patient get healed that is what the files say. The doctor is really suspicous about it. Zoe get separate from the Doctor and she finds a room with a few creatures. The Girl that wanted to help Zoe, tells her that she felt so connected to Zoe. I find her really suspicous.

So a journalist is search for her grandmother, who was healed but never came back. When Zoe and Jamie wants to talk to him, one of this creatures suck the life out of him. Also it seems that it know that Jamie and Zoe are hiding in that room and left them alone.

The Doctor wants to see the creatures but they vanished. So they go to search one creature in the workplace. They find something of a fluid that heals/adsorbs everything. Of course the Doctor goes to confront the people behind it.

What i don’t like about the story, that Zoe is not getting what happend. The Doctor explains it to her and the others. Zoe is so intellgent she should have get it before the Doctor explains.

But the story is really good and i love what they make out of it. The creatures are made to remove damaged zelles, and when the can’t take anymore they die. This is interessting because for one the damage zelles aren’t there they take good ones. And the second part is that the made them want to die… this is real cruel. The solution of the Doctor is also cruel, but without much choice. That is the third thing i love about the Story.

The ending of Zoe and Jamie losing all the memories where heartbreaking and i never thought that the can do that again. But the end of the story is breaking my heart and fills my eyes with tears. The offered Zoe everything, her memories, her life, to be whole again and she choose to give all that up, just to prevent this people to make this creatures again. Zoe Heriot this is an ending that take her justis. That is my Zoe i love.

i will totally buy the other stories with her.
