    Fun Edgar Allan Poe

    I thought it was wonderfully done. Yes, the animation is quite good. Not worthy of the bad reviews I had read.

    Controversial Does God Exist?

    Of course Bacchus is real. Where else could wine have come from? After all, Cabernet Sauvignon made me the man I am today. Well, and good scotch, bourbon, vodka, beer, stout...

    Review Sherlock Holmes

    I absolutely love Holmes. I enjoy seeing how his analytical mind works. I also enjoy the relationship between Holmes and Watson. They are the quintessential Victorian dude bros.

    Fun Edgar Allan Poe

    The first literature I read, other than comic books, was Poe. He is still my favorite author of all time. THE TELL-TALE HEART and THE CASK OF AMONTILLADO are ones that I read very young, and still chill me. THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER terrifies me, not only because of the idea of premature...

    Review Classic Who Companions!

    She was my companion. I had been watching for several years, and I was entering my teens, and really noticing girls. And then there was Ace. Lovely Ace. Self-reliant Ace. Carries explosives and beats Daleks with a ballbat Ace. Ahhh...I need some alone time with my stuffed unicorn now.

    Review Deadpool (2016)

    I saw this in the theatre with some friends, all of us being people who read the comics, and we didn't stop laughing the entire way through. I watched it on Blu-Ray a couple of times since, and it just gets better every time I watch it. Gold.

    Review Classic Who Companions!

    As much as people want to complain how DOCTOR WHO writers have never known how to write for women, they certainly didn't know how to write for men, either. We had a long run of male companions who were really good, both smart and resourceful. Then we had Harry, who was a doctor by training, but...

    Review Torchwood (2006)

    I'm a Yank, and I'm in complete agreeance on this. Although, one of my favorite scenes was when Gwen and the American chick were discussing the differences between UK and US terms and foods. Gwen going on about how she couldn't find sparkling lemonade, and the other gal makes some comment about...

    Review The Eccleston Doctor

    If we were to skip him, then RTD should have forgone the destruction of Gallifrey. He was a battle weary Doctor, who had seen the horrors of a terrible war, and that's what made his relationship with Rose work so well. He needed someone to bring light into the darkness, and she brought him that...

    Review The Colin Baker Doctor

    I used to believe he was. But after several years, I went back and watched a few of his stories again. He really is a layered Doctor, and had there been better writing and a better costume, he might be remembered better in the role. Someone in costuming seemed to miss the fact that, over all...

    Review President Reagan

    National debt tripled, massive tax hikes for the poor with massive tax cuts for the rich caused a massive class divide, the war on drugs was a failure, and also caused more incarcerations for people of color than for whites, the Iran-Contra affair...

    Yes! @High Plains Drifter you are my hero!

    Review The Classic Who Producers

    I don't think that all of the blame should be placed on JNT, but he was the showrunner at the time, so it falls on his shoulders. Maybe it is nostalgia on my part, but I still have fond memories of that era of DOCTOR WHO, and still find myself watching a lot of those episodes and enjoying them...

    Review The Tom Baker Doctor

    Definitely a great send off for my favorite Doctor. Probably my favorite of the regenerations, as well. It was so well done, with The Watcher being himself, preparing for the event. Like something Serling would have written had be been a writer for the show.

    Review Titanic (1997)

    Technically, the video version is the album version, which makes it the "real" version. I've never heard the radio edit, but I heard one a few years ago that someone made with Simple MInds' "Don't Forget About Me", which used lines from THE BREAKFAST CLUB. I wish I could find that one somewhere.

    Review Family (1990)

    It's like I was just talking about this one. Deja vu! :emoji_grinning: Picard goes back home to an estranged brother who disagreed with his decision to leave home and join Starfleet, and his wife and son. Along the way, he debates leaving the life he has known for years and staying grounded...

    Review The Best of Both Worlds (1990)

    Picard as a Borg! Brilliance! This was such a wonderful story. Riker is thrown into the deep end by inheriting the Enterprise, and dealing with a second-on-command who is entirely too brash and doesn't take orders well, but pushes him to be a better captain. The resolution is also very well...

    Review The TENNANT Doctor

    Great two-parter. I still haven't read the original book, but there were those on the old IMDb boards who had read it who hated the TV adaptation (even though it was adapted by the original author). They claimed things were changed for no reason, like John allowing the older boy to give Thomas a...
