    Review Doctor Who (2005)

    Good: We get an intelligent companion in Martha Jones, a medical student who proves herself to be quite brilliant. Another Liz Shaw, if you will. Bad: Ha, psych! You get another obsessed fangirl! She only utilizes her brain when she absolutely has to, and the rest of the time will pine for...

    Gavin took my answer, so I'm forced to concur. :emoji_wink:

    Review Video Rental Memories

    The most you could get at any of our video stores was a contact buzz. There was always a funny smell coming from the back room of the one video store that I could never identify until I got older.

    Review The Twilight Zone (1959)

    That sounds very familiar, but I don't know if I'm thinking of that episode or

    Review The Tom Baker Doctor

    My local PBS played this tonight. It had been years since I had last viewed it, and it's still a fun romp, if not exactly cohesive. It's sad knowing Mary Tamm won't be back, yet nice to see Lalla Ward brought in, if not actually Romana yet. Personally, my favorite stuff in this serial are the...

    Review Logan (2017)

    I just watched it last night, and it is incredible. After a shitty Wolverine movie and a good Wolverine movie with a shitty ending, this is just about perfect. It certainly earns its R rating, because the violence and language have been kicked up, but it isn't done in a cartoonish way or done...

    Review The Drumhead

    I would be comfortable placing this in a Top 10 list of TNG episodes.

    Review The Mccoy Doctor

    Sylvester spent many years in my number two Doctor spot. I loved him in the role, as he had elements of other Doctors, but still came off as his own incarnation. Parallels could certainly be drawn between him and Troughton, only because they both could play the clown when needed. But he had an...

    Review An Adventure in Space and Time (2013)

    Very well done story, for the most part. my biggest issue is that they go into a lot of detail with the beginning of the story, and then the really gloss over quite a bit of the last part of Bill's tenure on the show. Obviously, it was meant to tell the origins of the show, and the major points...

    Review Modern Who Companions

    I can't help it, I love the guy. He has a charisma that can't be beat. I wish they had gone into more detail about the "missing two years" of his life that he mentions in his premiere episode, but other than that, I thought he was a great addition to the show, and great in TORCHWOOD.

    Review Classic Doctor Who

    Is that before or after he attempted to defuse the situation by giving him a banana, claiming that one should "always bring a banana"? ant-mac. You green-blooded, inhuman, son of a bitch. You promised to never bring up that half-human crap about The Doctor ever again. Need I remind you I'm...

    Fun Foods You Won't Eat!

    I'll check the restaurants here in town, but I don't think any of them had it. Otherwise, I believe the nearest Cuban restaurant is up in Minnesota, but I'm not above a roadtrip for great food. Thanks, amigo!

    Review The Mccoy Doctor

    I re-watched this one about a year or so back, and it is a mess. But I love that they really attempted to do something deeper. The Doctor forces Ace to face her greatest fear, which is both admirable and also kind of a dick move. Ace does face her fears, and learns just what it was that made the...

    Review The Classic Who Producers

    He did really good things with the show. I do wish they had done more Gothic-feeling serials as they had done under Hinchcliff, but he was also under orders to cut the violence, so we got a much different tone, and it works. We say goodbye to Leela, and hello to two incarnations of Romana, both...

    Fun Foods You Won't Eat!

    @streak1981 I've heard about Tres Leches, but have never had the opportunity to try it. We have a big Hispanic community here in town, so there are five different Mexican restaurants (which is funny since I live in a town of only about 4-5000 people, but I digress), but no Cuban restaurants. Now...

    Fun FILM GENERAL: Anything To Do With Films

    @Carol The Comics are so much better than the movie, and that comes from someone who loved the movie. The books are so much more irrelevant, with more fourth wall breaking and goofiness. The Deadpool/Spider-Man crossovers are brilliant, because he has an obsession with Spidey. He's had some...

    Well, this should take your mind off of it. "I think so, Brain, but Zero Mostel times anything will still give you Zero Mostel."

    Review Cartoons

    Pinky and the Brain was great until they added Elmyra. I hated her.
