    Review Sherlock (2010)

    Not really a surprise unfortunately. I was surprised they managed to get a 4th series done, given how successful everyone involved seems to have become. As much as I'd love to see more of the wonderful cast together we're probably better off with it just being left alone.

    Fun THE TV DEVELOPMENT HELL THREAD: Where Abandoned TV Show Ideas Go to Die!

    If that image is indicative of the animation quality this will look incredible.

    Review Bull

    Finally managed to finish the final three episodes and you're right. Eliza Dushku was fantastic. Her and Michael Weatherly have great chemistry. Definitely planning on watching season 2. I got the impression from the way they set up the finale that Eliza will be back, maybe not as a regular but...

    Review The Tribe

    Low budget, cheesy writing, generally terrible acting. And kept me watching the whole way through.

    Review The Tribe

    'Where the virus came from, no-one knew... from deepest space, bacterial warfare or some nation's scientific experiments gone horrifically wrong? All the Adults are gone... All the teachers are gone... All peace and regular meals are gone... Just tribal instincts and war paint survive. If...

    Review The Mist (2017)

    I don't actually have a problem with that. I think there are a lot of concepts that are too big for a 2 hour movie but perfect for 6-10 hour long episodes. The problem is that too many of those ideas are then forced into a second season that isn't needed. Prison Break was a perfect example of...

    Fun The Trek Franchise!

    Correction. It sounds like a combination of the worst aspects of those films (although I'm not convinced that there are any other aspects to ST5)

    Review Jumanji (2017) Dec 22nd

    Looks to me as though someone's written a stand-alone screenplay about kids getting sucked into a video game and someone in marketing has decided it would sell better with a "familiar" name.

    Review Classic Doctor Who

    I'd disagree with him there. I think he's served the legacy extremely well. The stories on the other hand ....

    Fun Marvel Shared Universe

    I'd absolutely love Fantastic Four to be part of the MCU, but I'm not so keen on the X-Men being part of the same universe. The MCU is already very crowded and to add the X-Men to that would, in my opinion, make it overloaded. At the very least, if the rights were to revert to Marvel, I'd prefer...

    Review Classic Doctor Who

    I've mostly enjoyed PC's episodes, both from a performance and story perspective. But regardless of individual opinions about the quality of this particular era, I think we can all hope that it's only the end of PC's Doctor from a television perspective and that we can look forward to his...

    Review The Eaters of Light (2017)

    That's one of the things I liked about Thin Ice. The "bad guy" actually treated Bill in a manner that would have been considered perfectly acceptable in that time period. As opposed to all the other people who took a far more 21st century approach.

    Review Classic Doctor Who

    I'd recommend Deep Breath, Robots of Sherwood, Listen, and Mummy on the Orient Express from series 8 (most importantly, whatever episodes you choose to watch, stay away from Kill the Moon and In the Forest of the Night if you don't want your IQ to be dangerously depleted). For series 9 almost...

    Review The Eaters of Light (2017)

    I was a little put off by that as well and I'm not a fan of the show's continued (?)whitewashing(?) of history rather than showing how bad things could be for minority groups in the past. However a very quick bit of research online suggested that the Roman's were pretty good at assimilating with...

    Yeah disappointing but predictable.

    Fun Star Trek: Discovery (2017)

    Well it certainly isn't now that they've told us its going to happen. :emoji_angry: Wouldn't it have been far better (and have had much more impact) to let people be surprised?

    Review Blade Runner 2049 (2017)

    Probably a good attitude to have. Even if, against all expectations, they manage to come up with a film equal to the original, there would still be plenty of negative criticism simply because it's a sequel.

    Review World Enough and Time / The Doctor Falls (2017)

    This is the first time watching John Simm playing the Master that I truly felt he'd captured the essence of the Classic Master. None of his usual ADD sillyness. Just pure evil. At the same time Missy has never felt less like the Master (although overall I've been a fan of Michelle Gomez's...
