DW: Twice upon a time

Hey Guys,

i finally watched the Christmas Special of Doctor Who – Twice upon a Time. There are many reason that i didn’t watched it before. At first i just forgot my Laptop so i could watch at my parents. Than a friend wrote me that her friend watched and she said that it was full of misogynist jokes. So i just didn’t watch it. Also i had alot of fears about this story and Moffats made them all real.

My favorite Doctor

Truth be told when i got be asked who my favorite Doctor is i still say it is the Tenth Doctor but i love the first one. He was soo different and grumpy and old. He was just not nice. Hartnell was perfect in this role and i was really afraid of what Moffats will do to him. First i think the Actor David Bradley did a really good job. But the way he has written… oh my god… now i hate the first Doctor. In this christmas special he is an misogynist asshole… the jokes are funny. The words ‘young lady’ feel like a … i am missing the word…

The first Doctor was an grumpy old man. Yes but he never talked to Barbara that way. He never talked to Polly – in the episode i could watch – like that. He never talked to Vicki like that. The young lady was mostly for Susan – his granddaugther – when she didn’t do what he says. Was he overprotect of her and sometimes didn’t take her serious. Yes, but this had many reason one is that refused to see that she has grown up. For him she will was be his little granddaugther.

Regeneration

The next think i hate is the Regeneration… the first one didn’t refused to regenerate. He accepted his fate. He knew he was going to die. He died because of old age. He was ready and Moffats just takes that from him.

That Twelfth doesn’t want to regenerate is okay. That i can live with. Than there is this nameless Captain that get involved in all that. And i just liked the idea that this captain was just some guy. At some point the first Doctor asked ‘why he so important’ and the answer was every is important to someone and i really liked this. But than in the end… he isn’t just one random guy. No he is the grandfather of one of the most important person in the Doctors life. Someone that new so many of regenerations and were so good friends… no random here… of course not.

Story with an anticlimax

The story was really weak. I saw the twist with Bill from start and i hate the idea of Testimony. The only thing i liked about it was that there was no evil master plan… i missed this. But Testimony can bring everyone and i really dislike that. We are more than memories. Sometimes you just has to let go of people. It is hard, but YOU have the memories about them. There is no need to bring them all back like that. But yeah we cheated death again… and we could bring back Clara… and Bill. Don’t get me wrong i love Clara and i love it when they bring people back like memories or they met again…

But i can live with the story and i can live with Testimony. Also i can live that Bill and Clara were back for the goodbye of the twelfth Doctor.

Unnessassary

What is way harder to live with is the whole unnessassary bunch of stuff… like Rusty… it so doesn’t make sense. There was so much more but i forget about it while i was writing this stuff… but in the end it doesn’t matter. I really, really dislike this christmas special… oh yeah Polly and Ben were unnessassary too… i don’t mean the original part. I mean the three seconds with new actor who looks totally unreal? Like they are wearing really bad wigs…

So yeah back to what i was saying in the end i am just happy that is over. I wasn’t a big fan of the the Doctor is a woman idea. But i am so ready for it now. She is a great actor and i can’t wait to see what Chibnall is doing with it. Maybe… Doctor will really become one of favorite shows again…

DW: Season 10

Hey Guys,

this season of Doctor Who started really good. The stories were not bad and Bill is an amazing companion. But than again there is the big storyline and again it is about the Master. Sorry i really loved the Master and i loved Simms Master but this Missy story got on my nerves…
Make the Master good… really why… Simms Master already had his moment of change. It was when he died for the second time. And i was already annoyed that they brought the Master back after that but just to tell the story again?

I actually don’t want to say to much about this season. Because of the reason that i just don’t have much positive things to say and i hate my own negative. Also i already said all that stuff in the last season. Because it is all the same again. But at least he didn’t destroy the cybermen further.
But than again there was an easy way out. I don’t get why he always brings Companions in situation were there is no way out to just find a way to reverse it. There is not always a way out. Sometimes people just die… that is live and you have to deal with that.
I really hope that the next season will be better.
Even when i am sad that we have to deal with a new Doctor, a new companion and a new writer.

Class: Episode 1-2 (Doctor Who Spin-Off)

Hey Guys,

everyone i am sure heart about the Doctor Who Spin-Off Class. Actually i loved many spin-offs. Torchwood was an amazing and really crappy show in the beginning. The first episode was the worst i had seen in a while. As i remember correctly the first episode i liked was the fourth episode. I also loved Sarah Jane Adventures and i have to say here i fall in love way faster. It had an amazing friendship between Clyde and Luke and it had Sarah Jane. Some episode were way deeper and more horrible than Doctor Who and it didn’t even try to be such dark show.
So with all that and the fact that Doctor Who just lost so much for me in the past years, i was really excited about this new Spin-Off. I am not sure what to think about this serie but it did a lot right and also wrong.

Can a Spin-Off work with out the Doctor

Let’s start with the point i disliked about the first episode the Doctor. It is not the Doctor per se. I love the Doctor and i love Capaldi and he does a good job in this episode as the Doctor. But i think the Spin-Off would have worked fine without him. I hate the i make you to the protect of that rift… this is stupid and they are just teenagers. He is like ‘hey guys, aliens that want to kill you will come throw that thing and you will deal with it and protect the others. Use your heads.Bye.’ How stupid is that? They know nothing about aliens about aliens or how to fight them, how to get information about them. Nothing. UNIT, Torchwood, Sarah Jane they all had sources and stuff to figure things out… but teenagers don’t need any of this just use your heads?! Sure this is what makes this so bad…

The choosen group

I like for now everyone of that group especially Ram and Tanja and their friendship. Is it to much to hope that they just stay good friends? Tanja is the brain. She is intelligent and way younger than the others. Ram is the sportsman, which have to deal with a robotic leg. These two were be friends before all that stuff happend. I think they didn’t talk in school about when they are at home they are chating and talking alot. Than we have April the nice girl. She is dealing with that crap alot better than others. Because she has a great role model. She just accept that there are things you have to take because you can’t change them.
The last two are aliens. Charlie is a prince of a race that good murdered. He and this protector are the only ones that survived. He is the nerdboy that doesn’t know anything about the world. Luke asked his friends and Charlie is googling everything he don’t understand. The last of the group is Ms Quill. She is the protector or slave of Charlie. Even when i think she deserve punishment i agree with here that this is like a slave. But Charlie doesn’t treat her like that and she doesn’t act like that. So i don’t know what to think about this all.

What i don’t understand why Charlies boyfriend is not part of this group. He was there too when everything happend. He tried to help too and he was there when the Doctor tell them that they all now in charge. But it seems that he is just the boyfriend what excatly is a point i dislike about these two episodes. He could be part of the group and there is no reason why he isn’t.

Watching or not

The story is still needing time to find their way. The show is still struggling for what it wants to be, but i think every Doctor Who Spin-Off did that. So i will give the serie a few more episodes. Beside the episodes are way better than the start of Torchwood…
The characters are sympathic and you can really understand all of them. The serie make sure to make the characters believeable and loveable and does a very good job in my eyes with it. So it is for me a totally watching.

Doctor Who: S09x12

Hey Guys,
here we go with the final of Doctor Who. I have to warn everyone i really dislike this episode and i don’t think that i would this time something good to say about it. One thing is clear for me know this season will never stand in my shelf. That i will just read and listen episodes and i don’t know. I can’t just give up on Doctor Who just know… but i really lost the fun of watching it. For me it is just something i need to do so that i can say that i dislike it…please…let this change again.

Biggest Mistake?

What is the worst about the episode? That can be answered easly. It is that the again took the end of a really good character and destroyed it. They did in the classic serie with Peri and it was a mistake. Claras death was important. She got reckless and risk her own life easily. She died because of that and that she couldn’t let Riggsy die. It was a end that showed us what person Clara was and what she became. It was a good end for her. But no… consequence are nothing for Doctor Who. They took this decission from her. She is not really alive but also not dead…
Clara made a decision and the Doctor took it from her. But what is even worse is that this Clara is not fighting him. She says the Doctor goes to far back is walking with him and in the end she is of to adventures with Ashildir…

Hybrid

The whole story about it is… dump. Sorry. But what should that be? We don’t get an answer for this question but one is more likely like the other… it could be the Doctor or Ashildir. Or that is what the ‘consequence’ came in Clara and the Doctor. That is really stupid. They were never dangerous not more than others. And what is that consequence that the can’t travel together and that the Doctor have to forget. The reason for that was just not logic. This was not emotional. They were emontial scenes most of them was with Clara talking… but this was not nessassary. The whole episode just makes no sense to me.

Sorry, i wish i could still love Doctor Who like i am used to.

DW: S09x11

Hey Guys,
welcome to the new Doctor Who episode and the negative rant about it. It was not everything bad but as whole the episode doesn’t get me. There are so many things i really disliked. So you all know this is just me ranting over one of my favorite series that i don’t want to watch anymore but can’t stop.

One-man-show

Peter Capaldi is A+ actor and can totally rock a one-man-show but i am not a fan of it. It’s like a X files with just Mulder or just Scully… not the same and boring. The Doctor needs someone but i can overlook that he hasn’t one in this because the companion in this episode was still Clara. The way they let her play in this episode made me afraid that they would bring her back, but until now she is still dead. So this all alone thing is not my thing. But on the other hand my fears put aside, i like the way they made the Doctor talk with Clara, when she isn’t their anymore. With Adric death the Doctor was defeated. But here the Doctor is angry. Also the words of Clara are a highlight in the episode.

Boring…

Nothing happend… this is what happend in this episode. The Doctor is talking and wandering around… nothing more. He doesn’t know what all this is about and we don’t know. This whole construct doesn’t make any sense. They say that all rooms get set to zero or the starting point when he leaves… what can’t be. Because when it is that way how can he write brids in the sand, how can he find his clothes? Everything should have been away too. But it isn’t. The Doctor dies over and over again… just starting new everytime he dies…
But of course the crystal wall he is breaking is also not reseting…something here doesn’t make any sense.

Confessions

The Doctor has to confess thing to stop the monster from killing him. So he is talking about the time war, about being afraid, about a hybrid. Two things about the confessions. The idea is not so bad, but the confessions are. The Doctor tells us about a hybrid of a Dalek and… I hated the Dalekhybrid episode. This was a human-dalek Hybrid and that episode was so bad… and they weren’t really dangerous.
In the end he tells us or them that their of course is no dalekhybrid. What the heck? They got the prophecy wrong. They should be afraid of a Dalekhybrid. The hybrid that will stand in burn down grounds is me/ the Doctor. The way he says it i thing he really means himself. But i actually doesn’t like the human-timelord-hybrid eiter and ignored it. The Doctor is no on the way to destroy? He still has friends in Gallifrey. Some people thing he means ME, but we will see.
I don’t remember the scene. But i read a few posts about it that the Doctor left Gallifrey because he was afraid… i choose to forget that. Because he was not afraid. William Hartnells Doctor was a hard and closed old man. He was bored out of his mind. He could just see the world, he needed to experience it. He doesn’t thought of the races as bad or good. He just was interessted in them. All that… came when he started traveling with his first two companions. He was not afraid… and also William Hartnells Doctor dead because of old age. So stop with that crap.

Hey Guys,
welcome to the latest episode of Doctor Who. This was one of the better episodes this season. It is really embarrassing that i needed over the half of the episode to actually get that Rigsy is Rigsy. That we know him from another episode, i think it was Flatline. Just to make sure this review will have a big spoilers.

Story

Rigsy is calling the TARDIS. He hab forgotten the whole last day and has a tatoo that counts down. That is never a good thing. The Doctor things that Rigsy had contact with aliens. He tells us that there are whole streets which just vanish. In such a street was Rigsy. This street is like a refugee camp of aliens and of course the leader is Me. This side of Me is making her really unsympatic… when she told the Doctor that she will protect the world from him. I think everyone thought that this wasn’t such a bad idea… but we didn’t meant it like her. What she did this episode is for me – i want to say unforgiveable – but that is not the right word.

The end of a journey

We heart everyone talk about it the death of Clara Oswald. This is it. Clara got this season after the death of Danny more like the Doctor than ever. She got cocky and now she pays the price. Clara thought that what ever happends she will be saved, she will survive. So she got Rigsys death sentence. He is a father of a little baby and Clara wants to make sure that he will go back to his girl at the end. But this time the Doctor can’t save her. This time their is no magical solution, no back door. At least i hope their isn’t. I loved Clara. She was a strong character and she and the Doctor had an interessting relationship. I wished her nothing more than to have a long and happy live. But i really hope that there isn’t a backdoor. That she is really dead. Death is sad and cruel and unnessassary… it will never be somethingelse for these who are left behind. But the last few season made us forget what death means because the Doctor always changed it. I don’t want another Rory… just let her be.

Hey Guys,

i will excuse myself right now about everything i will say about this new episode of Doctor Who. The first thing i wanted to do after i looked the first minutes of the episode, was to turn the tv off. Everything about the episode was horror in a bad way. After this episode i thing this season will not find his way into my dvd-cupboard.

You can’t unsee it

The whole way the story was told was annoying and bad. This first few minutes that tells us how bad everything is and that this will be so dramatic that i just want to turn it off. Than we saw a few camera scenes from the resue mission and the Doctor. And this stupid unsympatic and crazy person telling us the story.
And i really wish that i could unsee it. Why didn’t i listen to him…
The story is not better than the episode was told.

Sandman

So it seems like the invention of the Morpheus-capsel, that change something in your brain and let you make 5 minutes power sleeping instate of a good night sleep. Of course there is a sideeffect. This sideeffect is that your sleepsand is eating you and becoming a monster. That is Doctor Who logic i am okay with. But now it comes. This monsters are blind but they are cameras… which are everywhere and the Doctor can hack them. Of course Clara was in one of the pods. Is just waiting for the sand to eat her… this whole sceneario is senseless…

and than…

Than it all just ends. It doesn’t make sense. Because Clara is in facted. The bad guy got is signal out… and than it just ends and next episode seems to be something totally different and i really hate everything about it.

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.

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?
