It was announced on May 16, 2018 that the old Sci-Fi classic Babylon 5 will be coming to Amazon Prime. This is very good. It is an excellent show, one that compelled both Lynn and myself. Lynn cries at TV all the time. I, however, do not. The final episode of this show really got […]
Back in 2010, I lost my job, and was unemployed for longer than I cared to be. During the belt tightening that always happens during times like that, I canceled Cable TV. I wrote about that elsewhere on this blog, so I won’t get into that in this particular post. As time passed, I saw […]
Forty years ago today (Jan 2, 1978) the original episode of Blake’s 7 was released. 40 years. Where the heck has time gone. This is a show that was the definition of “low budget”. It didn’t get much more low budget than B7. However, if you could get past that (a lot couldn’t) there was […]
I’ve been a Saturday Night Live fan since it started. I was 10 years old when it started in 1975, and I actually started watching it back then. Now, you can’t blame my parents for that. My parents divorced around this time, and my mom was wiped all the time from working. So I […]
I’ve had a TiVo for a long time (14 years), and one of the cooler features is that the service learns what you like, and will record other programs besides the ones you tell it to, thinking you’ll like them. So tonight I’m looking through the recorded shows, I found an episode of “Doctor Who”. […]
I’ve long been a fan of the old “Siskel & Ebert” movie review shows that I recall watching as far back as the late 70’s. Back then it was the only way to get reviews of that nature. However, as the years have gone by, there’s been a lot of politics, and changing of technical […]
This is text I wrote to go with an infographic I did that appeared in an article on Kasterborous regarding length of service time for each of the 11 Doctors. Here is my full, overlay anal text to go with the infographic.
My Review (01×07) The Sensorites is a story that for the longest time I used to skip. In my earlier days of Doctor Who fandom, I was into the 80’s stuff, and didn’t get a chance to see the Hartnell and Troughton era material until 1986. When I finally did, there was a lot of […]
My Review (01×06) For Doctor Who story #6, we come to one that’s in my opinion one of the strongest of the entire First Doctor era. The Aztecs was when I first started watching Hartnell era Doctor Who the earliest “perfect” story. In my mind back then (1986), it was perfect. Obviously, as I’ve […]
My Review (01×05) For Doctor Who story #5, we come to a story that I always had memories of liking, but upon recent viewing, I didn’t like it nearly as much. That’s “The Keys of Marinus”. As this story started, it was the fifth overall story, and the 21st episode of the series. Marinus […]
