DW: Cryptobiosis

Hey Guys,
this is the third adventure of the special subscriber releases. At first it was only available for subscriber that get ‘Other Lives’ but now everyone can buy it. It is a nice adventure with Sixth Doctor and Peri in 1901 on the ship Lankester.

Sometimes i forget

You all remember that i am not a big fan of Peri but she is a good character. Which has a lot screen time in this adventure. She is one that just is amazed by the miracles of the nature. When she met a mermaid, she just want to help her. Peri always want to help. She makes fast friends. But not all are like her. This adventure is about human nature. A guy wants to get rich for selling the mermaid. This happens when people she something amazing. Not just that he wants to do this, we also see how far he would go to get what he wants – like murder.

The Doctor and the Captain

At first the adventure doesn’t seems not very logic and the character dump. There is a murder on the ship and the captain arrest the Doctor even when he could be the one. I don’t understand why he did this charade because this isn’t making much scenes for me. But this is the only thing that is here not right. Like i said before it is a nice adventure for now and then.

Are other species better

Peri is a good human. She has a really good heart and doesn’t want to let anyone die. We all know how humans mostly just save their own skin. But are other species better. The mermaids are not. They want to let everyone die, so they are save. Does Peri get them to change their mind.

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.

DW: Destiny of the Doctor – Trouble in Paradise

Hey Guys,
welcome back to the 6th adventure of the Destiny of the Doctor serie. This story plays on the Santa Maria in 1492 with the sixth doctor and Peri. Just from the start that is not my story…

Characters

Everyone, who follows me know that i am not a big Fan of Peri. It must set place after the ‘timelash‘ because she mentioned it in this story. It is really hard for me to say if this adventure had captured her correctly or not, because i don’t remember much of her character, because she wasn’t one of my favorite. But it seems to be right. The Doctor is kinda… boring…
The met Columbus, who is not really sympatic. We hear a lot of him. The whole story over we hear his logbock entries. Which is in this story for me really annoying. Maybe because Columbus is so an unsympatic character.

Heros that doesn’t must be heroic

Columbus is a hero of the Doctor. Acctually i don’t understand that. For this theme, that hero is not what he seem, could be more suitable characters. So i don’t care about him and Peri didn’t care. Also Peri didn’t see him as a hero at all. But this is a part of the fight they have. They only help the people which counts and not the little ones…

omniparadox

The whole story is not really logical… omniparadox is a thing that the eleventh Doctor needs. I do understand that it is a paradox that… yet where i think about it, it doesn’t make anysense. It is Paradox…
Back to the theme… One of the crew saw the devil and that devil is a Bovine, which tries to change the future so his herd will survive, but he is not realy good with the time travling thing.

Not my story…

DW: Players

Hello Guys,

It is the sixth book of the 50th Anniversary Collection (Past Doctor Adventures) from Doctor Who and is featuring the sixth Doctor (Colin Baker) with his companion Peri.

The book is a little patchy. It goes about Churchil and a group of people trying to interfere with his history. They are trying to kill him and it seems like it is a kind of a game. We just don’t know the rules or the goal. This is the interessting part of it. The other part is Hitler again… Of course it is this time, but i have problems with the way the most medias deal with that topic. In that book it is not so bad. I don’t know much about that time in England so i don’t know who good the time is written, but it seems realistic.

What i really like is that we met old friends. The solider of ‘the war games’ for example. Also we met the second doctor again. This is an amazing good a idea and i love how they play with it. Peri have a little action for herself can totally shine. What i find a little sad is that this Doctor is so nice. Of course the Doctor lose a little of his ‘hard’ side but he is for my picture of the sixth doctor to nice. I hoped for little more sarcastic Doctor, a little snippy?!

It is nice to get a little history about Winston Churchill. I don’t feel the tension. It jsut walks slowly and it is not my thing. It is nice to have so many faces you know to see interact with each other but it is not enough.

The last chapter makes a good end. At first i thought that it was unsatisfying but i read the last few pages and thought about it, it is on of the best ends you can make i think.

The next book is Earthschock with the eighth Doctor, because the book of the seventh book of the 50th Anniversary Collection is just the book about the episode. So i watch it and i don’t need to read it.

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: The Trial of a Time Lord Part 4/4

Hey Guys welcome to the last part of the season.

The ultimate Foe

That is really good. Guys we have a a special guest: the master. I love it. Yeah, totally because i love the master. So the master brings Mel and one of the first adventure to the trial to ‘help’ the Doctor. He is perfect and also let slip how the Valeyard really is.

It is a really good thing, but i don’t get the Valeyards intentions. I don’t really understand how the Valeyards plan could work. Mel isn’t not a person how waits until thinks happend. She go for her sell, she has a little from Jo.

I liked the season, but the end was really bad. He is saving their lifes and everything is forgotten and the take away the strong end of Peri. They telling the Doctor in the truth Peri is alive and living a life as a warrior queen. That is totally one of the worst thinks that they did to a character.

It was made it really bad for me, just this sentence. But we know the Valeyard is still out there and in controll of the matrix.

The next episode is with the new Doctor. The last Doctor i didn’t know. We will see what i think of him.

DW: The Trial of a Time Lord Part 3/4

Hello Guys,

lets look part 3 of the trial of a time lord. The adventures of the seventh Doctor are on there way to me, but know we will talk about part 3.

Terror of the vervoids

So now it is the Doctors part and he is showing an event of the future. So we have a new companion, which is just there. We don’t get how they met or what happend. She is just there and i don’t know what i should think about her. Mel is a little cute and her voice is a little getting on my nervs. In some scene i really find her sweet and other i just think what is that. She is believing in the Doctor like he knows everything and that is something i don’t like very much.

It irritates me a little how close both are. Without we seeing them getting so close. Also it is disturbing not to see any feelings about Peri. I know it plays in the future and so one and in the present the Doctor is in the court. But i just exspect something more.

So again to Mel, i think i can like her. She is intellegent and is springing around. Sometimes she remembers me of a flummie.

So as we get the Story goes about experiments, moral question experiments. They create a species out of plants and it goes out of hand. So it is humans against plants. Actually a pretty amazing theme. Because what is very important to me, Mel is showing the normal part she is schock of the brutality of the plants, but the Doctor shows how you must see it. They just doing what we do with our weed in the garden. They Doctor choose a side here and i totally understands it. There is a decision to make, but i can’t really deny that the valeyard is also right.. a little bit.

So we will see how the season ends in the next part. See you then.

DW: The Trial of a Time Lord Part 2/4

Welcome to Part 2,

‘Mindwarp’

The Sky looks pretty amazing in the Story.

So but the Valeyard is saying that people are dying because of the Doctor and is taking an adventure of the Doctor as example where he kills accidentillya a creature and should be punished for it. But the Doctor and Peri can escape and find werwolves (not really, but something like that). Also we the this one creature again from the story ‘Vengenance on Varos‘.

We see the Doctor changing. He isn’t the Doctor how tried to save everyone. He is the one who helps the bad ones with their experiments. For Peri this is a relly interessting situation. Because she sees what the Doctor do, but she still cares and tries to protect him. In this episode she can prove that she is really a strong character. I don’t like her very much, you know that but she has my respect.

SPOILERS

Yeah i know everything i write is a little spoiler, but this is about Peri and wht happend to her. I think that this is not the last time we see her, because we have herad if it end like that. Because long before i watched the adventures with adric, i know how it will end.
So at the end of the Story Peri died. The bad ones have transfered the brian of Sifs ‘King’ into her. The actor did a really good job with it. For me i had to wish for a more emotional end. I don’t want to rewritte it. Just make it more emotional. Because i want to cry when companions die, if i like them or not.

I am really interessted who they end this story. In the next part we will met a new companion Mel.

DW: The Ratings War

So guys,
here is the promised article about ‘the ratings war’. It featured the sixth Doctor.

It plays at earth and took place at a radio station. They have a reality show and the finale is right now. The Doctor is coming to complain about this reality shows. There is this creature ‘the beep of the meep’. I have looked at the comic and it is really good not to see the creatured. They say it should be cute and it tried to take over the audience.

I must say it is not my story. It is almost just this conversation between the ‘beep of the meep’ and the Doctor. So i find it really not interessting. I know that in the other stories are not much more but they had something that faszinated me and this story didn’t.

I looked at Offer four and there is a story that really intrest me but i can’t promise that i will write about because i have to wait for my UNIT Stories to arrive. But maybe we see what will be in Offer five.

DW: The Trial of a Time Lord Part 1/4

Hi Guys,

welcome back for Season 23 of Doctor Who. We will see what it brings us. I like the idea of one big story over the whole season and also that the time lords take place in it. Also the 25 minute episodes are back. Yeah!

The Mysterious Planet

So the Story starts that the Doctor arrives at Gallifrey without Peri. The Time Lord accused him to at broken the first Law of Time Travling and take him to trial. They show all an adventure of the Doctor and Peri.

They visited a planet how is simular to earth. But this planet should be destroyed by a fireball. It don’t look like it and when the Doctor find himself and Peri in the old tunnels. He things that this is the earth. Peri is really upsad about it and the doctor really understand it.

I have read that the wanted to be more fun and not so much horror and i don’t like this very much. In the first episode is a scene, where the Doctor is placed in the room and should stand still and everyone is throwing stones at him. He tried to block them with his umbrella but get hit. That is not funny and i hope that they don’t make such scenes into ‘funny’ ones.

I like the idea of the season, but the stories are for me like the other not deep enough… i mean i don’t feel with it. But that is just me. I just really noticed who set up the trail for the Doctor. The Valeyard… this is a really good one.

So we will read us at part 2
