    Review Smile (2017)

    One can only hope. Production values (and the Candyman) aside there were some deep philosophical issues explored in that story. And the scene with the Doctor talking the guard into putting down his gun is awesome.

    Review Modern Who Companions

    I'm enjoying having him around so far.

    Review The "NEW WHO" Showrunners

    I don't agree with all of what he said but he is right in some aspects. Some of the acting was pretty woeful over the years and, given that it was never a big budget show (and a significant percentage of what budget there was went to special effects), there was never much money to pay for top...

    Review Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016)

    The problem is that its only by using the technology now, while it's not perfect, that the continued development can occur so that in ten years time it is perfect. If we just say "its not perfect yet, lets wait" there's no motivation (or money) for the work to be done perfecting it. I hope that...

    Fun Getting Drunk on Easter...

    Too much effort for me High Plains Drifter - couldn't we just get the easter bunny to deliver?

    I'm there - just let me know when :emoji_alien:

    Review The Pilot (2017)

    It was a fairly "meh" episode for me. I like Bill and I enjoy having Nardole around but there was nothing in the episode that got me excited. At several points I even found my mind wandering. Hopefully that won't last.

    Controversial Jonesy the Cat: What Happened Next?

    Its a little known fact that Jonesy was actually the mastermind behind the whole thing. He secretly brought back an egg to earth and not long after Ripley and the others left, the earth was overrun with xenomorphs.

    Review The Davison Doctor

    Newspaper at McDonalds? I didn't know they had newspapers. I've only ever seen the Telegraph and I wouldn't even use it as toilet paper.

    Review Thor Ragnarok (2017)

    The Thor movies have only managed to be average compare to much of the MCU. This one looks like it may well be the best of the three.

    Review Aquaman (2018)

    Despite several missteps along the way, DC have managed some pretty good casting overall.

    Review Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016)

    But they didn't destroy the vent. They fired a missile through the vent and blew up the reactor.

    Review Blake's 7 (1978)

    In regard to this particular question I'd definitely go with the long one.

    Fun American Baseball

    Not being American, I've never really "got" baseball. It's not played widely here (we're a cricketing nation). I suspect that, like cricket, one's appreciation for the game depends on having an understanding of how it works and the benefit (or otherwise) of different plays.

    Review Doctor Who (2005)

    I'd completely forgotten that. :emoji_relaxed:

    Review Bull

    I agree. To be honest I was a little surprised that he didn't leave when Cote de Pablo left. It was clear by that point that the writers had no interest in developing any of the characters any further. DiNozzo was very much a flanderised version of himself by the time he finished. I guess he was...

    Fun The Trek Franchise!

    Star Trek has been fairly influential and/or prophetic in the development of technology since the original series. We've now got communicators (mobile phones) that are probably at a higher standard than those suggested by the original series. We've got laptops and tablets smaller and more...

    Review Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016)

    I've never understood those jokes. In what way was the weakness in any way ridiculous or unnecessary? Surely for any engine (especially the size of the Death Star) a thermal vent is vital to get rid of the build up of excess heat. And to do that it would need to run directly from the main...

    Review Doctor Who (2005)

    I hope there's some context that makes it clear that that's not actually his name. That would be a disappointing end to a 50 year mystery otherwise.

    Fun The Joke Thread

    Although shooting yourself in the head to stop a headache would at least be an effective solution.
