DW: Unregenerate!

Hey guys,
Wecome to the 70 big finish main range with the seventh Doctor and Mel. This Story take plae in London 1957 and 2007. In the Doctors time line it is somewhere after Time and the Rani. It must be shortly after the regeneration. This Story seems to have some significant to ‘The Doctor’s Wife’.

Starting

The beginning of the story is quiet irritating. We have a few jumps to people and situations we don’t understand yet. Their is someone making deals with people – like the devil – for research.
The doctor seems like also be test subject and he and mel are apart from each other.

More irritating

The voice kinds of irritazed me alot. Mels voice os very different and also the voice of the doctor is unfamiliar. In case of the doctor is because of the situation he is in -like he is crazy. But mels voice seems so different. For everyone who wants to know it is of course the same voice. But they somehow really feel different.

The end justified the means

This is what the story is about. The scientist want to create something new, for the safety of her kind and all time. Time Lords often have a special way to justify the means or just looking. These people know Time Lords or are they Time Lords? The Doctor is here the bad guy for them. Is security justify these experiments? Louis is an really interessting character which thing that the end is not always justify the means, but sometimes it does. His change and grow is good and he would be a good character to bring back.

After this story i think that i will start the Gallifrey Stories. They are just having the interessting themes.

Hey Guys,

here we go with the new Doctor Who episode. This Episode is a result of the big Special of Doctor Who. The peace between Zygons and humans are on the edge.

What happend to UNIT and Kate?

I can’t stop asking that question again everytime UNIT is on TV again. I am so happy that the Brig can’t play anymore in Doctor Who because when i see Kate, than i believe that it would be horror what they would do to the character. Kate as the daugther of him should be smart and understand better than anything the danger and the mistakes that can be made with Aliens. But her solution is attacking them. Her solution is ending the peace. Her solution is ignorant and dumb. What they say is just stupid nonesense? This is not nonesense this is a group of Zygons that want the whole earth to know about them. This what was totally clear from the beginning. Listing would be amazing and would actually stop alot of problems. Of course UNIT is going on single missions. Really Kate alone on a town the always talk about? Than again Clara leading a military mission?
I am sorry. I beginn to hate would UNIT become in New Who. UNIT’s people were smart and wanted to protect the earth from danger. They were ready to sacrifice themself, but they weren’t ignorant. The weren’t against aliens. Because their scientist was a alien and they know it. The Doctor was their friend… they did act on different occasions with violance but just when nothing else seems to work.

Good idea

The Story idea is good and of course right now acutal. But the episode is lacking of everything. The Doctor, Clara… UNIT and logic. And don’t answer me with it is Doctor Who. Of course many episodes are not logic but most of them are logic in the Doctor Who logic but this? I want to say something good, i want to like it. I love Peter Capaldi as Doctor but the storys are lacking so much…
This situation they created is so real and than the distory it with this unrealistic actions.

Osgood the questionmark

I never got what everyone liked about her. She is a fangirl and? She gots on my nerve with her Doctor clothes and her fangirling. I wanted characters that question the Doctor. Characters that make him think. Characters that say no to him. But Osgood does nothing but fangirling. Is she intelligent yes but she doesn’t use it to think for herself. She is just saying what the Doctor is saying like everyone else. I am tired of these characters. Not just Osgood… Clara is in the end not different, her trust in the Doctor is so big, like Amy or Rose. Even Martha und Donna didn’t question him enough but they actually question somethings…or say no to him in Marthas case.
I am sorry but episodes like that and Osgood are making me sentimental… but i want classic who back. Their were also characters that trusted the Doctor over everything but not every companion was like it… now it as to be a girl and in love with the Doctor… or talking about the underwear of the Doctor. This wasn’t funny or anything else… just unnessassary.

Hey Guys,
i know i am very late with the ‘new’ episode of Doctor Who. Next week and on the weekend i will have the early shift so i will have time to actually write you the article about the next episode on monday. But now lets talk about this episode. It is not that i have really much to tell about it.

The Doctor with out his better half

I loved it when David Tennant was without Donna in Midnight. The whole episode just worked because of that fact. When we had that with Matt Smith i was someone of the few people that hate it. I am totally not a fan of Craig and after he defeated the change of the cybermen i really started to dislike him. So now Peter Capaldi is on an adventure with out Clara. In the last episode the only thing i alwalys loved about the season was the developement of Clara and the relationship between them. So this isn’t in this episode. For me it was really not so good without her. But the episode is not bad. We had better but also worse.

She could be everyone

Ashildr is the important person in this episode. The episode function because it is about the feelings about the character. Ashildr is living over 800 years now. What happend to the lovely nice girl form next door. Because this is the really important point here. She could be everyone. It could be you or me or the girl from next door. She is calling her now ‘Me’ because every name is dying with the person she knew. That me, that she hasn’t a name anymore, is for me a sign that it could have your name. This is why the episode is working for me. What happend to her isn’t something special. It isn’t the story about Captain Jack Harkness with his complex to save the earth. The Doctor doesn’t influencend her. She was just herself and the Doctor did this to her. This is how we would be when we would be immortal.

Big question

But one time more i am asking the question why the Doctor did this? He lived that life. He lost so many persons, he loved. It brokes his heart to leave Susan behind. It hurts him that Ian and Barbara choose a life without him. A part of him died when Adric died. The lost of Rose totally made him a mess and she not even died. He knows how it hurts to live this life without people that are the same. He knows what it made out of Captain Jack Harkness and how it broke Jacks heart. But still not even thought twice about doing this to her. Really i don’t understand that. This is not saving her and the Doctor knows it but he still does it. But the worst is that he did it after he remembered want Donna told him. This was not what she ment.

Same old Story

‘Me’ is bringing us back to a very old storyline. Saving the world from the Doctor. We had this story before. This is the reason that Torchwood came to life. Torchwoods function was to protect the world from the Doctor. Now we have Me/Ashildr that wants to do the same. Of course she is right that someone needs to protect the world from the Doctor because he often forgot what sacrifice are nessassary.
We saw that she is already looking after the Doctor and Clara. I am not a big fan of that storyline. We had Torchwood and that was enough.

DW: Arrangement of War

Hey guys,
Here we go with he 57 advenure of big finish main range.It takes place somewhere between the stories ‘Rain of Terror’ and ‘Ticker than water’. I actually would say that this takes place for the sixth Doctor after Peri and before Mel. He travels with Evelyn a character big finish created.

Evelyn

Evelyn is a companion i would love to see in the tv serie. She is an old professor of history and apears the first time in the big finish main range adventure “The Marian Conspiracy”. The relationship between her and the doctor seems complicated. I read a summery of her story. I understand it like someone tried to remove her family from existince. In order to save her the doctor tried to eliminated the influence and she somehow created a paradox.
But she starts traveling because she wanted to learn more and see the history with her own eyes. Important to know is that before this story the Doctor could save a girl and that is something Evelyn is carring with her.

We are not getting involved

The doctor promiswd evelyn that this time everything will turn out okay without their help. Evelyn need time without saving tje World, without the doctor. Of course it is impossible for the doctor to keep that promise. It started so small. He just gave a man an adivise.
But these advise can lead to war and invasion. So the doctor starts a dangerous play which of course goes wrong.

What this is really about

This story is about relationships. How do you make a relationship work? Can we change? Should we change? With what decisions can we live with and with one we doesn’t. Can we give up our love, because it would better for the country? Can we acctually live with that consequences? What is more important love or the country and how can you make that choice.
Evelyn is struggeling with how the Doctor handles things, who he let not show how it hurts him. She is not sure she can live with the consequences anymore. She can’t change him and she can’t change herself. She realize that they have to find a way to live with each other.
We also see the Doctor break down and this is one of the saddest thing that happend. The way the love story ends. The way the Doctor reacts to tragic events, how Evelyn get how the Doctor works and what he needs. They learn to understand each other better. This story is just the life.

Hey Guys,
here we go about the latest episode of Doctor Who. It was not bad but not really good. This season totally don’t get me at all. It is sad but i think i really need a big change… a real change.
But let’s talk about this episode.

Ripples in the water

Most of the incarnations of the Doctor believe that History needs to stay in tact. That you can’t just go and change things easly. So the Doctor just tries to stay out of it, but not Clara. Clara was in this episode really stupid, why does she let the girl use the sonic sunglass? If she hadn’t done that maybe nothing would have been happend. But she did and the girl is just declarying war on the Aliens.

Remember who you are

So we got why he choose this face. This was so good to see and made my very emotional. Donna wanting the Doctor to save someone and i loved it how it is again Donna who in away safes the Doctor here. But the way he is dialing with the matter from that point isn’t what Donna was saying. Donna doesn’t wanted him to change Pompeiji fate. She wanted him to save someone. He saved the whole village and just the one girl died. It was sad but this should have ended there. Because the Doctor should know better. He knows how immortality feels like. He knows what it did to Jack and to himself but he is doing it to her with asking her. He didn’t save her, he damend her forever.

Immortality is everyone else dying

When the Doctor is talking about it with Clara is beneath the Donna moment one of the best. I really hope that this will be the theme in the next episode and it just don’t forgotten. Clara on the other hand is more and more becoming like the Doctor. Bringing people in danger, try to be everytime the hero. Will Clara find a bad end?

Hey Guys,
i am really sorry but i had no time for any Doctor Who thing this weekend…i was like a walking dead after all that Party and working so early and only getting two hours sleep. But now we can talk about the new episode. Like you will think i always have something negativy these days. But for the biggest part i was satisfied and really nostalgic. Let’s beginn to today with the start.

The starting point

The episode starts totally out of nowhere. The Doctor is holding a monologue. Yes Capaldi is great in it but i really dislike this beginning. In the end there is a connaction but this connaction doesn’t make my satisfied. I don’t know why because this is the big question that troubles me in most time travel films. But the way it is acted… like he is talking to us. The way all this plays out… i just really dislike it. I don’t have a better explaination.

Emotions over Emotions

I love emotions and here we have more than enough from it. Clara who can’t excapt that the Doctor has to die. She needs him. After Dannys death she built her life around him and that is not going to end well. One of the best parts was were Cass is asking Clara if the travels with the Doctor changed her or if she always bring everyone in danger. This is a good question. When we look at Clara, we see her not really emotional apart from the Doctors death. She has no problem send Lunn out in the danger. When she goes talking to Bennett he is talking about how much more there is in the world as if it matters right now.

Sacrifice

Bennett is the best thing on the episode and we need so much characters like him on the TARDIS. People who see the real face of the Doctor. Someone how goes against him. He reminds me a little of Hex. His girlfriend died so the Doctor can be sure of the meaning of a message. He isn’t ready to risk anything for her but everything for Clara. Clara and the Doctor are seeing people who died has a nessassary sacrifice. All this people had to die so he could save Clara and understands what is going on.
How far has the Doctor fallen from were we were at the beginning with the ninth Doctor. But truth be told that is why i love Capaldis Doctor. The Doctor isn’t the hero. He never was. It was always the people beside him. Just now is traveling with himself and he really don’t want Clara to be like this. But he can’t do anything against it.

DW: The Axis of Insanity

Hey Guys,

so ‘The Axis of Insanity’ is the 56 adventure from the main range. The Story takes place somewhere after the ‘Resurrection of the Daleks’. The fourth Doctor is traveling with Peri and Erimem. I excatly not pretty sure when this story or all the Erimem stories are set in the timeline after the Doctor. It seems like it has to be after the goodbye of Thourlough. If someone knows better tell me.

Erimem

So what do we need to know about this companion? She appear the first time in the story ‘The Eye of the Scorpion’, which is the 24 adventure of ‘Big Finish Main Range‘. She is an uncrowned Pharao from the ancient egypt. When she started traveling with the Doctor at the age of 17. She as a great wisdom and wants to learn more. The Doctor offered her the chance of doing that. Along the travels with the Doctor she and Peri built a strong bond like sisters.

Mistakes of the Time Lords

This story is one of the most interessting. I love all the theme about Time Lord and their mistakes. This Story tells us what happend to the part of history the Time Lord changes. The mighting Time Lords are making mistakes that left their traces. We learn about the way Time Lords deal with their mistakes. They hide them and lock them away. It shows us a side of the Time Lords that they try to hide.
Also we see the graveyard of the TARDIS’s. The way they create the atmosphere is really amazing. I could see it before my eyes the way Erimem sees it. Beautifull and so sad.

Insanity

What is insanity or what sanity? The story apart from the really good theme about the Time Lords is really insane. Many parts of it seem unreal and crazy and other way to much real. It is life and it is fantasy. It is a special mix that defines the whole story. First it seems like only the Doctor get screen time but than Peri is out of the TARDIS searching for her. And the two first episode you think that Erimem is just there. But than she can shine too. Erimem had too little time but that time she has were really strong and good stuff.

In the end i really like the crazyness and the reality of the story. I like the way Time Lords play there part without being really a part of the story.

Hey Guys,

i have a big problem with the Doctor Who episode and the writting about it. I don’t want to write bad about it. I know there are people out there that love this season and episodes. This episode wasn’t so bad but for me the magic that Doctor Who had vanished. I watched every season and he dislike every much. Sometimes i don’t like how the stories are writen, sometimes i don’t like the Doctor, sometimes the Companions going on my nerve. That is how Doctor Who is. Doctor Who is about changes and not every change you will like. Like the Screwdriver thing. I don’t miss the screwdriver but the sun glases are stupid – my opinion…
Something in never lost in all that time was the pull to watch it. Right now it is really difficult to bring me to watch the episodes. Like i said the episode was not bad but it has no pull in it – for me.

Here we go again

So i don’t want to talk about the thing i dislike. I can’t even really give it a name. The story wasn’t/isn’t mine. The characters are not really interessting. I can’t find it in me to care about any of them. What i really hat is the death thing again. Now it is the Doctor who needed to ‘die’. Of course he isn’t dead… but i had how they play with that theme over and over again. Moffats always does it. Rory is one of the best example of it, than a whole season about the death of the doctor, than a whole movie… now the kill Clara and Missy in the first epiosde, now the Doctor… and so on and so on. I am really tired of this.

I am Clara Oswald

What did i like about the episode. I like the problems the Doctor has with this feeling things. The Doctor is not nice or good and this is refreshing. Also i really like the Clara stuff on this episode. Clara seems to become adicted to the danger and the adventure. She wants action and danger. She is so much becoming the Doctor and that is actually pretty amazing. She wants to teach him how to be more ‘nice’. There are this little cards she wrote for him. But look at her, standing their and bringing everyone in danger.
The Doctor sees that and is trying in his way to talk to her. What of course is more than bad. Clara is so deeply hurt and i love everything about it and i hope this will be a big theme in this season before she leaves the TARDIS.

Than i hope for a new main writer, more than one companion, campanions like Zoe and Jamie, or Barbara, Vicki and Ian. I want the Doctor going after little problems maybe not even real problems… not saving the world please. Watch the classic stories and go back to them.

DW: S09x02

Hey Guys,
first of all i know that i was very negative about the last episode of Doctor Who. For everyone how really liked the first episode don’t let you take this away. This episode did a few things right in my eyes. But i just want Moffat to let the Daleks alone. He just can’t write them and for me he is distroying them. But that is just my opinion. I loved Doctor Who alot and i am happy for everyone who still do. I hope i am going there again. So let’s start with this episode.

Surviving

We got an explination for the survining of the Master. But i really dislike the way they did it. The way Missy is playing Clara is really annoying. Also Clara in a Dalek again is maybe a nice idea but it isn’t that funny. But i like how this plays out in the end. I had to thought the whole time about how Ian and Barbara with the first Doctor made this for the first time. So i really dislike that would they do with the Daleks languaes. I think Ian was in it and he could talk normaly. Not like they can’t tell something about love. This is stupid. That Clara can’t say ‘i love you’. The Daleks know the words but they forget what they means.
Also i have read somewhere the question why Davros devlopemt it with so much space. This is really easy and got forgotten alot. Because Davros doesn’t evelopet the Daleks. He just made the outside. It was to save their people. It was to save them from the radiation. Yes he made them also forget about that feelings because he see them as a weakness. But when the Daleks started they were like humans. That they are now like a little gnoms. Is because the beginn to live in that Daleks and also start to reproduce them on a different way.

Davros and the Doctor

The whole confersation between the Doctor and Davros are the only really good thing about the episode. His Davros telling the truth. Does he will that way. He is dying and thing about what he did. It is amazing. Because it is not surprising that Davros had planned something. It is Davros but maybe he meant something of it. Is he such a good actor? There is many trust in it. He does that stuff to save his people. So maybe yes he wanted to know if it was right. It would change anything but it is nice to know isn’t it? Doesn’t the Doctor do the same in one way? Here we go again with the Daleks and the Doctor. I don’t thing that Davros sees himself as the bad guy. I actually thing it is totally possible that he is asking the same question again the Doctor was. Is he a good man.
That the Doctor is also playing is a little anticlimax…but it gives us a Doctor that actually is ready to do genocide.

I am Clara Oswald

Missy is trying to play the Doctor. Clara is in the Dalek and doesn’t know how to get out and he can’t tell the Doctor. Because the machine is changing what he says what is still so stupid and i hate it. But this scene when the met each other is very good made. How she tries to tell him that she is it and he is trying to understand what is going on. A very lovely scene. Everything after that is going back to be not good. Clara can say mercy because Clara is talking… but in the way the episode is written the dalek shouldn’t say that. That means that Davros is knowing mercy. So the Doctor goes saving him, because so he can save Clara.
It is not a surprise that the Doctor save him, because like you said he survived. So the Doctor had to save him.

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.
