The Omega Factor: Under Glass

Hey Guys,

welcome to the first adventure of the third Box-Set ‘Under Glass’. I had listened to the first 15 minutes on the Big Finish Podcast when they promoted the Box Set. I listened to it and thought it sounds very interesting. That is when started asking people if they know it and if it is good. I remember like yesterday how Cool-Stuffandthings told me that it is great and that I should listen to the first episode which is for free on Big Finish and I did. So the start of this story is the start of my big love for this series. Cool-Stuffandthings was right. Thanks for that.

What is trapped will never stay trapped

But let’s talk about this episode. It is about a picture that brings apparently the owner luck and maybe kills the owner at some point. Morag is trying to tell Adam that something is not right. But like always she talks in riddles. We all know that Adam is not good with riddles. The story is really interesting. It is inspired by ‘The Bottle Imp’. There are a lot of stories out there about this theme and that is ‘The Omega Factor’ take on it.

All kinds of ways to get hurt

We start this Box Set with Adam finally set in his life. He knows who the work with Anne works and he got a girl friend. His power doesn’t freak him out anymore. It is like normality for him. It is lovely to see Adam and Anne working together. The scene where Adam is telling Anne about his girlfriend is so sweet and it is a little like getting ready to introduce your girlfriend to his mother.

Superhero

Adams girlfriend Claire has a really interesting journey and character developement. She is a strong woman but has this view of Adam. She sees him a little as superhero and she see that he has problems but she doesn’t realize what it means. When she got all that luck she changed and the way she looks at Adam changes too. It is great and interesting story Claire lives through.
