    Review The Pertwee Doctor

    Three daleks are clearly more than enough to take over the world. Three daleks just about wiped out an army of cybermen in Doomsday. And the Doctor considered just one dalek a significant threat in Dalek.

    Review Doctor Who (2005)

    The potential for a flop exists every time the Doctor regenerates. It could safely be said that's what happened when Colin Baker took over the role. But if it does I doubt it would be because of Jodie Whitaker. Bad writing, poor promotion, poor budgets, etc. are all much more likely candidates...

    Fun Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987)

    Wesley Snipes as Geordi? Might have been interesting. Considering how his movie career hit its height a few years after TNG started it's hard to tell whether that role might have helped or hindered his career. Would he have been typecast? Or would his career have taken him away from the role?

    Review The Troughton Doctor

    I'm sure that Google would be working on something like that. Not for the benefit of retrieving lost episodes but for the data they could exploit by accessing people's memories. The side benefit would be the reconstruction of all of the missing episodes.

    Review The Cage (1966)

    One of my favourite Star Trek novels was The Rift by Peter David, which presented what was effectively a 2 part story of an encounter with an alien species on the other side of a rift in space that opens every 33 years. The first encounter was with Pike and his crew and 33 years later Kirk and...

    Review Where No Man Has Gone Before (1966)

    As I recall this was the offical 2nd pilot. Well on its way to being the Star Trek we know and love but still not quite there. No Dr McCoy yet and Spock in a command colour uniform rather than science. Overall though, it was quite a good episode exploring the corruption that results from...

    Fun Star Trek: Discovery (2017)

    Sadly this would still true even if they got the cast from the recent movies to make an appearance. I'm not a big fan of the movies but at least they were far closer to Star Trek than this is.

    Fun Marvel Shared Universe

    Sounds like a guaranteed winner and all the characters are already owned by Marvel and cast (although Medusa only on TV ).

    Review The Flash (2014)

    What old boards? I have no memory of such a thing!

    It's not that I hold them myself. I'm just compelled to attend under the threat that if I don't show, then everyone will come to my place instead. Much better to tolerate people at a place where I can leave than be stuck trying to get rid of them.

    Review The Flash (2014)

    Just a part of an interview with Andrew Kreisberg http://ew.com/tv/2017/10/03/flash-season-4-premiere-spoilers/ Interesting comments about Iris. It seems to be an admission that they haven't handled her character as well as they should have (which most viewers and comic fans would probably...

    There is no circumstance in which I'd want to hold my Christmas get-together early. If the world ends before then so much the better :emoji_alien:

    Review O. J. Simpson

    That's what would have happened a few years ago. In today's world he runs for President. #OJ2020 :emoji_anguished:

    I was reading about this earlier today. Problem is that they're not clear on what they mean by "relatively soon". In geological terms "relatively soon" could mean "in the next few thousand years".

    Review Harvey Weinstein

    I suspect there may be a few other big names quaking in their boots at the moment. It would be very surprising if Harvey Weinstein was the only one to abuse his power this way and now that women have had the courage to speak out it will encourage others to do the same.

    You know, I'd totally watch that.

    Fun The Birth of IMDF!

    Have you considered pitching that merger to someone in Hollywood?

    Review Halloween (2018)

    The first and second films worked so well together that I was honestly surprised to learn that the second movie hadn't been planned in advance.
