Torchwood: More than this

Hey Guys,

here we go with the last Big Finish Torchwood adventure – More than this – of the first season. It takes place after the 3rd adventure ‘Forgotten Lives‘ of this season. Gwen is actually doing what Rhys told her to do. She starts Torchwood again.

Seasonfinal – ordinary day

This isn’t a season final like we know it from TV stories. It is just a story like all the other. No big cliffhanger or something really game changing. But it is a start for the surviving of Torchwood. This is a story about Gwens ordinary working day. She is trying to rebuilt Torchwood and want a place to store all the aliens things. So she has to work with bürocrates and to explain what Torchwood is about. Gwen chooses the only way that makes sense to her and take the bürocrate out to work with her a day. So they met alot of different aliens. It is nothing special just an ordinary day what makes it in the end so special.

Special Guest

Gwen is this time alone with the bürocrates. But of course Rhys is still having a part in it. So they meet in some places Andi and we all know Andi, do we. In the end everything is about the bürocrate. He is telling us the story. He is lonely and he feels like humans are small and not insignificant. He lost his love and he doesn’t have faith anything anymore. It was just a accident. He forgot how precious life can be. This is a story about dealing with the pain and the ordinary day. About that we are not insignificant.

In the end i am really excited to listen to the next season. I hope that they are many to follow. Because this adventures are really amazing and i love all of them that are out now. So go and buy it and than listen to it and fall in love with Torchwood again and again.

Torchwood: Uncanny Valley

Hey Guys,

welcome to the 5th big finish Torchwood adventure ‘Uncanny Valley’, which is a typical season one adventure. This was the weakest story so far but that doesn’t mean that it is a bad story. The Story is playing after ‘The Conspiracy‘ but i am still not sure when it should play.

I know what you are thinking

Jack is like the last time telling the story directly to us. This time it is not explained like the last time with a phone call, what actually a little sad but it doesn’t really matter. The kind of narration is placing you in the story and it gets you. It is a really good story for Jack Harkness. I for myself have enough of all the sex in the tv shows and i don’t want to tell to much but we have some here. Big Finish is here again remembers us of one thing that got a little lost in the fourth season. Jack Harkness is not gay. He likes guys, women, alien, anything you can have sex with and that was always why i liked him. Because he doesn’t care about something like race or gender. Also his way of seeing beauty is not bound to our sight. It is good that this is not forgotten.

What makes you human?

The story is nothing new but Torchwood don’t has any rules or no goes. So this is a story about someone that get something like a robot. This is a copie of him, which should do his life in the world for him because after a accident that put him in wheelchiar. Of course in this story it goes how this robot becomes kinda like human. It is his job to become like his owner but when you see them interacted or acted. They are very different from each other. But this is not what the story is about. It is more about how life can change you and that everything can turn against you. Even the comitee is not on the focus here. The Robot has to do with comitee, but we never got real information about what their plan is or what they are. It is more a drawing of a relationship that grows and breaks in the end. It doesn’t ask big questions. It makes all this question seem like it is totally normal.

It was fun to listen to John Barrowman again. Can wait for the next episode and the second season!

Torchwood: One rule

Hey Guys,

it is a little late, but i got so many new radio plays that i doesn’t know were to start and end. Also it is totally the christmas caos getting the best of me. So here we go with the new big finish Torchwood ‘One rule’.
When i first heart about this radio play i was disapointed. There is no of our Torchwood members, but it is one of the best. It takes place before the Canary Warf accidient. Obviously because Yvonne Hartmann is still alive.

Yvonne Hartmann

Yvonne Hartmann is a really interessting character. She is not the typicall good character. Her moral is more than questionable and how she handles problems are too. But she has really good intentations. She wants to protect England. I never thought i would say it but i would love to her more of her story. There is much potential. Also she seems to know alot more about the comitee than anyone else from Torchwood Cardiff.
She also brings as a new way of getting more of Ianto. Because he is working for her.

Monster in Cardiff

Cardiff is standing shortly before an election for the new major. This monster is killing people who wants that job. The story isn’t a very special or new story nor is it very surprising but the character totally carries the whole story. They way she interacts friendly with Helen Evans and angry with Barry Jackson. It is very interessting to see the different facetts of her character and the story gave her enough room to show many of them too us.

Torchwood: Forgotten Lives

Hey Guys,

welcome back to a new adventure of big finishs Torchwood ‘Forgotten Lives’. This time we know when it takes places. It plays five years after The Miracle Day and Jack is away for that time. Rhys and Gwen are living a good and normal life until an old Woman calls and talk about Jack.

Good pair

I am not a big fan of Gwen and i will never be ready to love her like i do all the others on Torchwood. But Rhys and she became a real good team and that is really amazing. I like these both together. Also i love Rhys. Rhys is someone that never really agreed with Jack and that is what he does it here again. What is really good to listen too. This adventure is different ot the others. The first two had just one of the Torchwood team as a acting character. Here we have Gwen and Rhys. But here we also have Captain Jack Harkness not has John Barrowman but has a role in it.

Like Sense8

The idea that is played with here is simular to the idea of Sense8. It is that people can jump into other bodies. The can’t stay in one. It is like you are every day in a new body. The race that has invented that, doesn’t ask other races if they want this, they just do it to them. They thing that they are the good people, that they are so protecting the weak. I think we can discuss about it. But to be sure is that, doing it to them is not the right thing.

This story is not bad for a Gwen Story and the end is like a goodbye to Jack but also a new beginning. A new beginning for a new Torchwood.

Torchwood: Fall to Earth

Oh my god guys,

this new story ‘Fall to earth’ of the big finish Torchwood serie is amazing and our lovly Ianto Jones is back. My life is back to perfect. That Torchwood and Ianto is back and i waited for it since the moment he…
The last time i thought about were the stories are taking place. Now we know that Tosh and Owen are also still there. From what Ianto tells it has to be somewhere in season one after Lisa.

Ianto on his own

Like Jack told them in the first adventure, he left to actually go after the conspiracy. The others are left to do the normal Torchwood stuff and Ianto is alone trying to find something important for the Conspiracy. Of course everything goes wrong. Why did he do it? Because he wanted to be accepted by the other what is one indicator for season one. Also he kinda want Jack back – even when it is not really told in this story. But when his phone ring he assoumend/ hoped that it would be Jack.
So he is on Board on a spaceship with all the other passngers died and something is really wrong with the ship. Ianto is trying to get the ship back undercontroll, but of course he has no idea how to do it.

Lucky accidents

Just right on time Ianto got a call from the call center. The woman Zeyneb wants to buy him insurance. Ianto get her to help him. Together they face a lot of trouble on the way. They have an amazing chemistry. She and Ianto have alot in common. So just the two of them works really well. It is much fun to actually listen to them. I want so much more of Ianto Jones right now.

I don’t want to say more, just listen to it.

Torchwood: The Conspiracy

Hey Guys,
today the first adventure of the big finish Torchwood story ‘The Conspiracy’ arrived and ineeded to write about it right now. Because nothing is more lovely than that. Oh yeah it is, because they had anounced that Ianto will be back. Everything is perfect. So lets actually talk about what the first adventure holds for us.

See again

First of all the first adventure is just with Captain Jack Harkness. We don’t have anyone else the team. But it plays when there still was a team. He talked to Gwen on one point. I am not sure when it plays. Torchwood seems to still exist and Gwen is part of it. So technically it had to play before Children of Earth. Which would mean Ianto is still alive. But other than that i don’t know. I am listening again right now to find a date.

Back to old times

It started like we all know Torchwood ever start. So you are from the line totally back into Torchwood mode. They way the adventure is built is a little special. I don’t like the way. Jack is talking to us. He is telling as happend and there are just scene played by them. We have Jack talking than a scene and than talking again. Than we also a youtube blog between the interview Jack is holding. It’s not a real flow. But that is just my liking. And to be honest it give alot worst than listening to Jaohn Barrowman.

The Commitee

I don’t want to talk to much about the story. Because you all should be buy it and hear it for yourself. But we have talk about it a little bit. So it goes about a guy named George Wilson. He talks about an alien invasion form the inner circle. There is theis group -the commitee – that will destroy human race and take the earth. There are not coming and attacking with spaceships. They are doing it buy getting their man into all positions like in the goverment and so on. So it will be a big story fight them. Which could really interessting and worthy opponent. There is not much happing in the first adventure. It is just like a long prologue for a bigger story and you just got the important information.

I can’t wait to hear the next adventure. The next adventure will be out in october.
