    Oh, if only this could have been made!

    Fun Doctor Who Collector's Corner

    Not sure if this belongs here or not. I'm sure @Doctor Omega will move it if necessary. I can't find an actual Doctor Who collections thread.

    Review The Classic Who Writers

    Unfortunately, this is because of our cowboy mentality over here. Sci-fi has gone from great moralistic stories set in fantasy to military stories. At one point, Star Trek was as left wing as you could get in American sci-fi, and even that has gone from being about bringing about a better future...

    Review The Cage (1966)

    For some, I don't know if it was failings or limited talents, so much as a combination of typecasting and racism (limited parts for Asians and Blacks outside of stereotypical roles, at the time, and even today). Nimoy was a great actor, and had rave reviews for his stage work. But in the minds...

    Review Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    I just thought it was because he was robot from the waist down and couldn't jerk off.

    Review The Cage (1966)

    I have no doubt that Shatner was, indeed, hired on as the star. However, I find his attitude towards others during the time to be self-indulgent. The aforementioned moments where he pulled rank to get more attention drawn to him because of his jealousy of Nimoy's popularity, his insistence that...

    Review Classic Who Companions!

    I was rather surprised to find out that his son was Alfred Enoch, who played Dean Thomas in the Harry Potter movies. Talented kid.

    Fun Worlds of DC

    I actually liked him in the role. I just didn't like how the role was written. Snyder repeatedly insisted on doing things his way, and fans be damned. I don't mind them injecting some pathos into Superman, or being deep in their story telling, or even getting a little dark now and then. But what...

    Review Marvel's Iron Fist (2017)

    Just finished season 2. Wow! It definitely worked out the kinks from season 1, and the action is great. Ward is much more likable this time around, and Danny is still struggling with how to be a hero. Also, the change from 13 episodes to 10 helps pacing and works much better (as I understand...

    Review Dragonfire (1987)

    That's okay, love. I like you more than Trump. So you have that going for you. No comment. :emoji_wink:

    I would give anything to see this. Wait, so his father and the Brig's father were in WWI? What are the odds?

    Controversial Trump

    I'm certain he and former President Luthor have much in common.

    Review Doctor Who (2005)

    The surprise was that Matthew Waterhouse waited until his last line in the series to finally give a line delivery that didn't make me want to slap him. Hey-OH!

    Review Doctor Who (2005)

    I'm okay with not seeing the Daleks or Cybermen in any capacity for a while, and I'm definitely okay with not seeing the Weeping Angels. I will miss The Paternoster Gang, but I would rather see them get their own series, like The Sarah Jane Adventures. Missy died, so I'm good there (I figure The...

    Review Dragonfire (1987)

    You gotta remember, though. We got those adventures over here in the States around 89-90, and I was a hormonal teenage boy. Here's this quirky, funny Doctor with a young girl who didn't seem to appear much older than me, running around with explosives and a baseball bat, dressed like some...

    Review Dragonfire (1987)

    What could have been a pretty good story is brought down by poor direction and no budget. I still enjoy it, but for three important reasons. The return of Glitz, the departing of Mel, and the introduction to my favorite companion of all time, Ace. The story isn't that bad, but we get a really...

    Mulberry

    Of cult TV note, Miss Farnaby is played by Geraldine McEwan, who played AI Cassandra on the Red Dwarf episode of the same name. Her servant Bert is played by Tony Selby, who played Glitz on Doctor Who and appeared in an episode of Catweazle.
