    Fun Star Trek: Enterprise

    Season 2 Episode 2 - Carbon Creek What a weird episode. Vulcans living in 1960's USA. Seems like it should be the premise of a sitcom.

    Review Marvel's Iron Fist (2017)

    I enjoyed season 1, although I agree with some of the criticisms about the pacing. It might have worked better as a 10 episode season as there were a couple of episodes that really just felt like padding out the run time.

    Review The Orville (2017)

    Depends. If they focus on story and character with humour it could work ongoing. If they focus on spoofing Star Trek, they'll run out of jokes very quickly.

    Review Dumbo (2019)

    That's actually pretty creepy.

    News The Flash: Flashpoint Movie

    Seems an odd choice for the first Flash movie. Messing up the continuity before there is any continuity established. I'm guessing it will have to include other JL characters to show the timeline changes.

    Fun Star Trek: Enterprise

    Just finished season 1 (having tried 3 times before to get into this series, starting when the first season video cassettes were released). I'm determined to make it all the way through this time, but I'm still struggling with it. It just doesn't feel like Star Trek. Which, I know is kind of the...

    Review Series 11 (2018)

    Or promisingly like Torchwood: Children of Earth. A whole series story-line can work well. As long as the story justifies the full series length. Too often stories like that can be told over 5-6 episodes and need a lot of padding to fill out the full episode run.

    Review The "NEW WHO" Showrunners

    I find it pretty hard to disagree with what he was saying. He probably could have phrased it a bit nicer but that tends to not be how 16yo's think. But he's right to a fair degree. The stories of the time were very derivative and cliched. At the same time it's hard to blame Pip & Jane Baker too...

    Review Will (2017) July 10th

    I'd totally watch this. You need to get a Kickstarter set up for this so I can give you my money.

    Fun Marvel Shared Universe

    That's a bit disappointing, but at least we seem to be getting a reasonable amount of Hulk in other movies and hopefully this will continue.

    Review The Whittaker Doctor

    Even thought it's pretty clear that River Song's story is done, now I want to see her back to see how well she and Jodie work together.

    Fun Cricket

    Speak for yourself. I always enjoy watching the poms get thrashed.

    Fun The Trek Franchise!

    Maybe I'm just an optimist but I'm still holding out hope for Discovery. And maybe the rumours that they're bringing back Chris Hemsworth for ST4 are indicating that they're going to time travel and revert history to the original timeline? One can only hope.

    Review The Whittaker Doctor

    Be interesting to see how the new Doctor is received by fans. I'm a little ambivalent. Not because I've got an issue with a female Doctor or the actor they've chosen, but because the show hasn't always done the best job writing for female characters. Hopefully Chris Chibnall and his team are up...

    News JAMES BOND: No Time to Die (2021)

    Yes, absolutely. It was the combination of Daniel Craig and the theme song that made Skyfall so successful. Nothing to do with the story or direction or anything else.

    Fun Tolkien: The Life & Works

    I fell in love with first The Hobbit and then Lord of the Rings when I was introduced to them by a friend at 12. I picked up an audio cassette version of The Hobbit from the school library and started reading Lord of the Rings after my friend dragged me to the Bakshi animated movie. I've since...

    Review Irwin Allen

    I'm surprised there hasn't been any attempt to remake any of these series. Especially something like Lost in Space which would easily lend itself to a darker style re-imagining (in the style of Battlestar Galactica). They did try to go for that style with the movie but screwed it up by including...

    Review Stranger Things (2016)

    Looking forward to season 2.

    Review Kenny Everett

    I used to love The Kenny Everett Show as a kid/early teen. Sadly, my mother was not a fan so I had to sneak in my viewing when she was out of the room.

    Review Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em (1973)

    It's definitely worthwhile. Michael Crawford is incredibly talented and has wonderful comic sensibility.
