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…

Beijing – Hot Pot

Hey Guys,

maybe it is not quite usual to say that the best thing in a town was the dinner but Hot Pot was special.

First of all what is Hot Pot?

Hot Pot has something from Fondue. You have a big pot not with fat but with some sort of sauce. We had to different versions. You can have pot with one ‘sauce’ or with two different ‘sauce’ in one pot. You can choose different ‘sauce’. We had one half of the pot with a mild milk combination and the other was a spicy one. Like the name says this get hot like the fat when you do fondue.
Then you can choose alot of different staff to throw into the pot. Just to say a few things: sweetcorn, tofu, meat (more like bacon), noodles, eggs and leaves.
But that was not all. Then you got a little soup and different sauces that you can mix on your own. Also you got melone to eat until everything is ready.

How to eat

This is really simple. You throw everything in there and wait until it is ready than you fish for it and took in one of the sauces and than you eat it. It is really delicious.

Happy Hot Pot

We were two times at the same restaurant, because it was just so much fun there. Most Hot Pot restaurants let you do all that stuff on your own. At the place we were they make alot for you. The make sauces for you (you can still make your own if you want) and throw the stuff in for you. At first we thought why would him bring us here. But than we had like ten different sauce from them. They came and asked questions. They were all really sweet and really interessted. They have little presents for you and when you sit long enough you get a lot of stuff for trying.
But the most special thing is that you can let them dance for you. It is really sweet and funny to watch them dance gangnam style.
It was one of the nicest evenings in beijing.

Torchwood – Zone 10

Hey Guys,

welcome to the newest Big Finish Torchwood adventure ‘Zone 10’. This time we get our lovely Toshiko Sato back. So this have to play before the end of season 2. I would say it plays before the episode they met the real Captain Jack Harkness. Because she tells them that she hadn’t seen her family in years, but in this episode she gets ready to go to the birthday of her father. So when this isn’t a mistake, than Torchwood makes sure that she will see her family again.

First Solo Mission

The radio signal that Tosh is investigating says ‘Toshiko Sato the truth is in Zone 10’. This signal is over 40 years old. So long before Tosh was born. But she feels like it is for her and when you look at what the signal means, she is right. So she travels alone to russia to find the truth. The Story is simple and not really surprising. Of course everything has in the end to do with the Comitee.

I love Tosh and i want more adventures with her but this adventure is not feeling so familiar as the other storys. When you her the others you are feeling like your characters you love back. But with Tosh there is something missing. I don’t know what is. Maybe because she is not so good at the radio thing like the others. Or it is just to long i saw Tosh in action. The last time i watched Torchwood is a few years ago…maybe that is the reason. The only thing i know is that something is missing. But i hope that Tosh is coming back for other adventures and that this feeling will be gone than.

DW: Lethbridge-Stewart – the forgotten son

Hey Guys,

here it comes the first book of the new serie Lethbridge-Stewart or the Havoc Files. Like the name says it is about Lethbridge-Stewart so what can go wrong?

What is it about

For everyone who didn’t heart about it yet. The serie plays after the events of ‘The Web of fear’. This is his way to becoming the Brigadier and building UNIT. Which is a lovely idea. The Brigadier is an amazing character and one of the most important character in the arc of the third Doctor. So war he is also with Sarah Jane Smith the one that has seen the most reincarnations of the Doctor. I don’t know rigth now if the sixth Doctor met the Brig but one to five and the seventh of met the Brig – and that is just the tv serie. To make a serie about the person who not just become a close friend to the Doctor but also his boss, is an amazing idea – yes i know i said that before and it will be not the last time. Because the Brig is one of my all time favorites.
So the first book took place right after ‘The Web of fear’. When the Doctor left the town was still a mass. They people left behind had to clean up after the incident. The Brig is the one that is responisble for the repopulation of London.

Old enemies

The first case has to do with the Great Intellegent and the past of the Brig (in this story he is just an colonell but he just call him always Brig or the Brigadier). Best thing about the book is not the story itself, which is be no means bad, but the best thing is that we got to know more about the Brig, about his past, his daily life and his fiancee.
The most negative about the book is the way it is written. This story as way to many perspectives. We have the Brig, a dead soldier, the Brigs mom, an old friend of the Brigadier and twins and you look through everyones eyes. Which is making us understand the person itself better but it is just to much for me.

But you got a good feeling for all the characters. You like or dislike them. But there isn’t a character that seems flat. And a few of the characters will cross the Brigs way many times.

Close to the serie?

What is good and on the same time not, is that they actually are very close to the New Who serie. So it is mentioned that the Great Intelligence is followed everywhere by procelin girl – Clara Oswald. But that also means that they took also his last salute to the doctor. Which I really hate because I want to forget that it ever happens. This is destroying cybermen and the Brigadier.

But everyone who love the Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart should read that book.

Elementary: Season 3

Hey Guys,

here i go and watched the 3rd seaon of Elementary. The last season left me on really big high. I was judging Watson for not seeing in what dark place he was. That he was running away of the feeling of losing her. I had a great excpetions of this season and one was that we see Sherlock on a really low point in his life. It doesn’t happen like i thought… and i still have very mixed feelings about the third season.

First point: Time jump

The season starts month after the last season and Sherlock is already on a better place than i thought we would see him. He is already fighting his way back and i thought that we would see him fall. Joan built a life for her own. She is working for the police and got a boyfriend, making nemesis. Sherlock is running away and getting a new student.
I dislike the time jump. Because i felt betrayed a little of the fall of Sherlock. It is not that i want to see him fall. I wish him a really great and good life but that show isn’t a happy one. Beneath all the laugh and fun it is really dark and crappy place. The people are pretty broken and we left Sherlock at a place where he lost all ground beneath his feet. He fall…and we didn’t see that. Later in the season we got a flashback and see how worse he was but it was just not enough for me.

Second point: Kitty

Kitty is the biggest point why i have mixed feelings about the season. Just to be clear. I love Kitty. She is an amazing character and her story is really great and i really feel the hole she left. Truth be told I didn’t liked her the first two episodes but she really grow on me. She is a really strong character and utterly broken. That one point i love of her arc is the relationship with Sherlock. Both are so broken. Sherlock needs her to so he doesn’t drown. He concentrate everything on her. He needs her more than she needs him. She needs someone to help her heal and Sherlock is not the right one for it, he himself is to broken for it. But in the end he is it what really helps her heal none aless…
Between Sherlock and Watson it feels like the two has beneath Clyde adopted Kitty.
On the other hand is Sherlock so focused on Kitty that we see Bell just as a cop in the background. He has like zero interaction with Sherlock just with Joan. That is for me a really negative point.
You see my troubled feelings?

Third point: Everyone so broken

The second part of the season is all i missed in the first part. But now i miss Kitty…
Bell and Alfredo get interaction with Sherlock again. We see that fragile friendship grow and how broken they are. Sometimes i forget that Alfredo is a broken junkie like Sherlock. We see him not often struggle and episodes when he does are so good and sad.
Bell is such a lonley character but we never really saw many of that but in the second season it becomes so much clearer.
Also we have to deal with a Watson that is trying to isolate herself when everyone else is struggling to fight the loneliness.
One of my favorite scenes is were Bell and Sherlock through cards at the hockey-cup. Right now he needs just that.

I love the third season. But it is totally not what i thought i would be. But in a way this is better, isn’t it? Maybe i even love that i have such mixed feelings about the season because it is just like the life. It isn’t black and white. Everything is just gray…

DW: I.D.

Hey Guys,

welcome to the 94th big finish main range adventure ‘I.D.’. This is an adventure of the sixth doctor without a companion. The back cover says that it plays in the 32nd century. Ahistory is placing it around 3150 between ‘the brain of Morbius’ and ‘the beast below’. So for the Doctor it has been somewhere between Peri and Mel. Because he is traveling alone. If this is between or after Evelyn is hard to say.

Altering the character

The setting is interessting. The Doctor met a researcher. This group is working on recreate character treats. The do it with data. It seems like people are uploading their character and everything as data. It seems very interessting. What are the consequences of it and why whould people do such things. So this give us alot of interessting stuff to think about. But the first two episodes are not getting into this stuff. It seems like that zhr Scandroids want to transfer data and this data is killing people. So the maschines wander around and upload data into the humans brains and kill them with it.

On the surface

Except from the Doctor we know nothing in this story. We don’t know the time or the characters. We don’t no the big bad. Which means we are in this completely new world and his interessting background that don’t get used. It remembers me alittle of the cybermen and the end is for me a little to happy end. The characters are good and interessting but have way to little time to acctually get into your heart. This story is just to fast for what i could’ve been. If you understand what i mean. Sadly this is what i am telling about the most stories in the last time.

Bonus Story: Urgent Call

This story is the first one that have a short story on the disk. I had this story before it was one of the storys big finish overed to download for free when you have the right from the Doctor Who Magazine. I really like this story. It is different to the others. We have that character Laurel that doesn’t feel well and is calling her mother but instead the Doctor answered the phone. The only way the Doctor is playing in this story is when Laurel calls him be accidient. The whole story are just phone calls she makes and the story is in the background. She just got little parts of what happend from the Doctor.

The best thing in this story is that in the end she doesn’t know how it ends. The Doctor just vanished like always and let her with all the question back. Urgent Call is a really nice story and is totally worth to hear the story before on the disk.

Beijing – Must See

Hey Guys,

here is my list of things that you should do or see in Beijing. Afterwards i will go into detail of the things in other articles. Soo the hardest part about it is to decided what i like the most. Everything we did was fun… okay except the Temple of Heaven. But i will talk about too. Sooo first things first what was my highlight of the vacation. It is really hard. But i decided for Food. My number one is:

1) Hot Pot

Hot Pot is a special way of eating food. It is little like fondoue. There are a lot restaurants for it. My friend visited two friend restaurants but we just got one of them, but it was amazing. It was super delicious and funny. But it is totally a group activity. You should be at least three persons. More infos will follow here.

2) Summer Palast

Of all the Palast and temple this was the one that i found the most beautifull. Mostly it looks like all the other places but the palast and everything what counts to this whole area is built on a mountain. Which means good shoes and it gives you a totally differnet view of the buildings. More infos will follow here.

3) Sport place at the Uni of my friend

Yeah, this one is weird one. But it was actually the place we spend the most time in Beijing. It is really chilly there. Of course i and my friends too didn’t make sport there. It is like a big stadium and when it gets dark all the students and other people came out to run or walk. We just got to sit at the tribune and watch them. It really were best nights out.

4) ShishaHai

It is the toury area but it is so amazing. The area goes around three sees and are little shops and restaurants. At night everything is colourfull and everywhere os live music. If you need a place to go, go there. More infos will follow.

5) Peking Duck

Okay, eating is really important and that peking duck is amazingly delicious. I never ate peking duck before. So i had no idea what to expect and it looked a little suspious when my friend showed me but it taste really good. More infos will follow.

6) Lamma Temple/ Confusius Temple

I love this temple so much because it is still used as a place to pray. What makes it really make special place in Beijing. More infos will follow.

7) The Forbidden City

It is the sighting in Beijing and i really love this place. It is so huge and beautifull. I could stay the whole day there and just watch the building. But there is just so much that makes the other places just a tiny bit more amazing for me. More infos will follow.
