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: Destiny of the Doctor – Smoke and Mirrors

Hey Guys,
so here we have the fifth adventure of the ‘Destiny of the Doctor‘-serie with the fifth doctor, Tegan, Nyssa and Adirc read by Janet Fielding and Tim Beckmann. It plays in England in 1920s. Adric is still alive so it must play before Earthschock.

An old friend

The Doctor meets up with an old friend: Houdini. He met the third Doctor and Jo and on another occasion he met the first Doctor, Ben and Polly. So he knows about the incarnation and the time travel. He wants to know the future. So he is an easy target for the master to set an trap for the Doctor. Her we go with another old friend the master. I like the master but this story is just a little boring.

I heart the story just a few minutes ago but it still isn’t stay with me… there is a thing with a tiger, the master taking control, the Doctor almost died and so on.

DW: Destiny of the Doctor – Babblesphere

Hey Guys,
so here we have the fourth adventure of the ‘Destiny of the Doctor‘-serie with the fourth doctor and Romana II read by Lalla Ward and Roger Parrott. It plays on the planet Hephastos. Also with all the hints from the story it seems that the story plays after the episode ‘The Leisure Hive’ before Adric is joining the group.

Story about our own world

This Story is about something that is called the Babblesphere that also could be called internet. Of course here in Doctor Who, the babblesphere is a room, where your conscious mind is and you can’t just go out anymore. No thought is private. For me it is like the internet just a little bigger and so on. They tell the story how everyone lost themself on this babblesphere. They just stopped wanting doing something else. The stop going to work and just shatter in the babblesphere.
There is going something more on, because at the start of the story someone get killed by the programm. Also it plays with the theme of computers take the power. The people built this programm to overview the babblesphere but this programm begann to think that he don’t know this people anymore.

Play a game

Romana is lovely and i think the characters are really well written. Romana have a lot of action the first part is mostly about her and this is a really good thing. Also it is fun to here they play that game. They play the game lists of 5 things to overwheel the programm. They are a few fun things in it. Romana list the former presidents of gallifrey or the 11th doctor give a list of his favorite foes and so on. It is fun.

Fazit

It is a nice story and it has some really atcual theme but i find at really hard to listen to it. I don’t know what it is but i always almost start sleeping when i am listing to it or i just began to blend the voices out. I need to hear it three times before i had the whole story. So for me it is one of the weekest part of the serie.

DW: Destiny of the Doctor – Vengeance of the Stones

This audio book is the 3rd part with the third doctor of the ‘Destiny of the Doctor‘- Serie and it is read by Richard Franklin and Trevor Littledale. It plays in the Doctors UNIT time and i would say it plays after Liz is going to leave the Doctor and before Jo will take his part. This is the story how the Brig and the Doctor will meet Mike Yates. Bentons role is sadly not big.

UNIT is needed

UNIT get called after two jets just disapears. Of course the Brig and Doctor are on the scene and they work really closly with Mike Yates – who we all know.
The most fun of this story is the relationship of the Brig and the Doctor. The Doctor is saying something and the Brig let him do what ever he wants and than behind the back of the Doctor he is doing the opposite. This is who the work and why we love them so much. So the audio book is doing a good thing here. The characters are in Character and lovly as ever.

Aliens against humanity

The Doctor founds out about the stone circle and the alien that are behind it. This aliens take Mike to get information to fight against the human. They hate them and want revenge for all the people that died thousands of years ago. The Doctor is trying to talk them out of it. Because all that humans that did this are not alive anymore. But when he had a step forward UNIT is stepping in and is ready to take weapons to save Mike.
This is where everything will go complicated.
They are UNIT which wants to save the earth and do this with fighting against this aliens and the aliens what to fire their superweapon at the humans. But the Doctor get form himself the job to find another solution.

Fazit

It is on of the best of this serie. The characters are fun and everyone that love Mike Yates most hear this audio book, because this is the beginning of Mike Yates in UNIT. I can only recommand that.

DW: Destiny of the Doctor – Shadow of Death

So here is the second part of ‘Destiny of the Doctor’. The second doctor is featured in this story with Jamie McCrimmon and Zoe Heriot. Both really amazing companions.

It starts with a really interessting question, who old are they. The Doctor is making fun of Jamie and tells him that he is thousand years old and of course jamie didn’t believed him. But when he tries to think how much time he traveled with the Doctor he could answer that.
When they land he is telling them the whole time that they are save and of course their not save. They are never save.

So it seems like parts of the planet there on are jumping in another timeline? So parts are moving faster than others. Also there are this shadows, that makes people age really fast and die. Thay think that this shadows murdered the civilasation on that planet.

The Doctor becomes of course a messages of the Doctor. The Story is nice. Really good to hear. Freazer Hinz is making a really good job with his readings. He really good at speaking the Doctor. It is really amazing how he did it. I like the turn they are making with the shadows, that they only wanted to comunicated. The Story is good but nothing really amazing – just a nice story.

DW: Destiny of the Doctor – Hunters of earth

Of course i couldn’t let out a 50th years anniversary special and of course i have the TARDIS version of this special in my room.

The first volume is about the first Doctor (William Hartnell) and his granddaughter Susan. I am not a fan of Susan. But the story is not bad.

The TARDIS is damaged and the Doctor is trying to repair it and in this time Susan is going to school of course on the famous school ‘Coal Hill School’. It is like what happen before they met Barbara and Ian. Susan is make a friend Cedric. Of course that is not the story. It beginns with that girl what goes kinda crazy and going to attack Susan and telling her that: she is different and that nobody wants her here, she should just vanished.

Also there is in the radio a song that is from the Doctor for Susan Foreman and Cedric with a very special message about Woodstuck and the Beatles. Also ‘it is all in the wind, Cedric’. What do we made out of it?

The Doctor tries to become a few parts for the TARDIS and there is a guy, who seems to know more about him. He thinks that the Doctor operation basis is in totterslane. Also a few teenagers are attacking the Doctor and tell him ‘that he should go to his own species’. So it seems that many people know about them. So it is not what it seems first. It is about the people who are afraid of the unkown and the desire to use the knowledge of this unkown persons. It is about the Doctor and his opinion about the humans, what has nothing to do with the opinion he had in the new serie. It is about fighting wars.

It is on of the better Stories from this series. Oh yeah, Carol Ann Ford is reading the Story.
