New episode title, characters and plot!

Well last night saw the completion of episode 5, which was previously entitled "The Door". However, due to a complete re write of this episode saw the episode change story, characters and title to something the audience are going to love. Its now called "The Seal of Rassilon"!!!
The episode which takes place straight after the encounter of Alien monsters onboard a spaceship, see's the return of an old enermy we haven't seen on screen (yet) since The End of Time canon story.
The Master summons the Doctor to the mysterious Island from the TV show LOST to gather his help in locating the orgin of the 6 numbers we've seen in all the episodes previous. When the Doctor realises the Master is infact in trouble, its a race against time to locate him.
We meet our Black Smoke Monster (again from the TV show LOST) but not on the Island, as well as a few familuar faces. Where is the Master? is it Gallifrey?

Kerian Twine; writer and director of the series says "This is certainly the Beginning of the end for the Doctor. Although its episode 5 out of a possible 14 - 15, we're certainly heading in the right direction for the ultimate end. This Doctor doesn't trust easily, but yet the Master offers him partner ship rather then rivialy. Could this be the fall of the Doctor?"

Edward Gizzi; who is moslty famous for his YouTube adaptation of "The Unofficial Doctor Who" in which he plays the title character has been cast for the role of the Master and quoted "I'm very excited to be joining the TLM Team along with Kerian. the script is great, and I can't wait to read more!"

Filming for this episode starts in the next few weeks

The Daleks

Many inside Second Life have commented on what they've heard of our series so far and the one question that has arisen more then anyother is "Are you going to feature the Daleks?" The answer is YES.

For arguments sake, the fate of every character in the final episodes will be explained. The one question on everyones lips when it comes to Doctor Who is: Why does the Doctor always fight his enemies on Earth? What is so special about the Earth? TLM are going to attempt to explain this question (obv to some degree its just a fan film) so the answer might not be exactly correct.

The episode was written not so long ago but is going through some changes currently until the final draft will be submitted. The Daleks as they're the most common enermy for the Doctor & the Time Lords seemed right to have them in the final stories.

Inside Second Life is a beautiful Gallifreyan sim called New Gallifrey. We've tried to get this sim to be featured in our series without having someone just pop back in time and land there, as we know its gone due to the time war and the events of The End of Time Part 2. So how will we return to Gallifrey? Just wait and see :)
The current episode title is known as "The History of the Time Lords" but this might change. This episode is not the final episode of the series, this is what you could call "the Beginning of the End"

New Who Episode Idea

Like many Doctor Who stories from the new series and some classic, the stories are predictable. We all know the Doctor will win, the companion will survive in some shape or form, and the monster will either be defeated or run away vowing to return in some other episode in the near future.
This whole idea of having an event so massive an so climactic, to then have one ship or person "fall through time" to another point in the past to only start again not only messes with the mind of Whovians and continuaty experts, but is also a weak idea for future story telling. So what will make Twine Light Media's Doctor Who any different you ask? The answer is simple....

we have a beginning, middle and end to the overall story of Doctor Who. Each episode will stand alone, but if you were to watch each episode in order from beginning to end the overall story would lets say...."speak for itself".
We don't have any of this "i fell through time on my own" crap no sir we don't! The origins of these characters are all explained weither they've time travelled to that point in time or even placed there by the player of the "game" is all to be revealed. Time is f**ked.

The fact the 11th canon Doctor has under unknown reasons (as the series has just started again) regenerated into the non canon 12th incarnation and then only to under apparent violent and mysterious circumstances to become the 13th Doctor we know in the SL series is lets say "all part of a bigger plan by someone bigger then the Doctor". If you imagine each episode has its own story, characters and setting the one thing that remains constant is the Doctor as well as his TARDIS. So, imagine a chess board and a player at either side of that board playing against one another, the pawns are the characters in the episode but the king is the Doctor and the other is the Master (black & white) would that mean the Master is bad and the Doctor is good? Not really. What happens when a player hits check-mate? Who are the players of the chess game we speak of? Could it be Rassilon in all his mighty power? Could it be Omega planning a revenge escape from his anti matter prison? Could elements of both these characters that we've come to love & hate all these years really be leading to something much bigger then themselves? What if the Doctor was ment to meet himself? Wat if the Doctor was ment to regenerate? Wat if the Doctor is a fixed point in time himself and he can't undo anything he has done or even going to do?

The answers are these. Doctor Who Second Life is more then a bunch of fans creating yet another type of story on the web in honor of their hero. But a group of talented writers and storytellers that combined prove to the world that anyone can write a great story with the right elements. The notion that every action has a reaction and that dropping a large bolder into a river can change its course is somehting that has always been a part of Doctor Who since it started. The fact that our new show will actually challange the audience into guessing what is happening or going to happen.

Each episode won't have its questions answered, but will in the long run. RTD stories had no point to them and were always left unanswered. The main episodes for this were Tennants last "The End of Time parts 1 & 2". But anyway...I truly believe Doctor Who second Life will reshape the fan community in terms of Who type stories.

Who are the players that sit either side of this "chess board?

A Tear in Time

Filming began last week for episode 3, A Tear in Time. The episode which featured 2 famous fan film Doctors Ryan Trallis & Julian Bane should be released in the late summer of 2010.
Scenes that have been shot include the TARDIS skipping inside itself and the final scene. The script has been re rendered and added more mythological mystery to our Doctor Who show which includes the mysterious worm holes that have appeared in The Angel and will do in Treasure Cove. The nature of the worm holes won't be explained until towards the end of the show, but strong suggestions will arise in episode 3 when the Smoke Monster from the hit ABC Tv Drama LOST comes through and scans all 3 Doctors.
I am a personal huge fan of LOST and its become my inspiration to write and direct my own series. LOST will feature heavy in our Doctor Who such as the Monster and the numbers. The Island will also be visited. Mainly because of the builds that exist in Second Life but also because LOST has never really been shown in any fan film productions of this nature. People have bade parody's and their own LOST series kind of, but never crossed with a TV show like Doctor Who.
Julian Bane is really excited to be joining Twine Light Media and their campain to create masterpieces of machinima inside the virtual world.
Also a mysterious women appears in the TARDIS and talks to the Docor (my doctor) about events that will happen and that have happened. Strong connections to his mysterious 12th Incarnation are revealed, because the 13th doesn't know how or why he regerenated and doesn't remember his 12th life.

A Tear in Time featuring Ryan, Kerian & Julian will hopefully be broadcast late July 2010.

Update: 12/APR/2010

Update from Twine Light Media

Last week saw the beginning to the shooting of TWO Doctor Who episodes back to back, Treasure Cove by Allan Rafferty & A Tear in Time by Kerian Twine.
DrWho Blinker, our site locator has been working very hard these past few days getting Treasure Cove sorted with locations and props.
Julain Bane, the star of the Alternate Empire Doctor Who series, has been in contact recently in regards to a Tear In Time in which his Doctor meets our Doctor. Shooting and recording for this episode should take a matter of days and could be ready to go inside a week. However the episode won't broadcast on YouTube until late summer 2010 along with hopefully the rest of the series.

The finale episodes which are planned to be 4 episodes in total are still in the writing stages and we're trying to break those stories and get them ready by June/July. By this time, hopefully the current episodes will be either shot or near the end of the shoot, so we can crack straight on with the finales. These are going to be the biggest, most epic stories of the whole Second Life series. We will confirm the finale episodes will feature Julian Bane once more as the Doctor.

ESCAPE Season One Episode One is slowly being shot as well. The story of a shuttle crashing onto a mysterious planet that appears out of nowhere in the Star Wars universe has been in the pipeline for a long time. The story for Season One and Season Two is complete, and most of Season One scripts are ready. Season Two is being written script wise, while also breaking the story for Season Three. A promo trailer was released back in March 2008 for the show, but nothing was ever done for alot of reasons. TLM recently picked up ESCAPE after ratings for Doctor Who went sky high and thought about releasing two shows at the same time. They are both very time consuming so only one at a time, but ESCAPE will happen.
Kerian Twine has been writing ESCAPE for 3 years now and is desperate to express the story to the world, but Doctor Who feels more appealing he says! The story of ESCAPE will offically be, along side Doctor Who SL, the biggest machinima series in SL history and also offically the first.

With the arrival of Matt Smith as the 11th Doctor, Doctor Who has now gone onto a higher plane! Goodbye Tennant, hello Smith. The first episode the 11th Hour was just a perfect introduction for Mr Smith and every went right. The new companion, Amy Pond played by the talented Karan Gillian is wonderful in her role and is so different to Rose Tyler. As much as i liked her, she got annoying after a while after leaving the show, then coming back, leaving, then coming back. It was nice to see her in Tennats final episode, but come on! GO!
The new TARDIS layout just stunned me for shock when conpaired to Tennant's console. I don't know about you, but the new exterior and console really is the beginning of something BIG and Mr Smith is the right man for the job. He really has created his own Doctor.
The new show, too me, as more of a classic series feel then the previous. The console is classic looking with Hartnell roundels above the rotor, the exterior and controls all look wonderful. I for one welcome Matt & Karen with open arms and bid farewell to Mr Tennat. Yes Tennant was my Doctor, and has been since he appeared in The Parting of the Ways back in 2005. Matt Smith has been on for 2 episodes so far, and is already heading for the gold.
