If you look at any dates associated with the release of this comic, you may realise I'm promoting it a smidge late (it came out at the end of, uh, April). However, despite my lack of self-promotion on several projects, I am determined to make partial amends, and will be doing an Exciting Series talking…
April Approaches: Doctor Who, Flash Gordon, and the Battle of Agincourt
March has gone on a bit and not been my easiest month, not helped by some marvellously dreich weather, but we're about to tip over into April, where some smashing things I've written will be released, so that's quite cheering. Flash! He'll Save Every One of Us! My first professional comics credit! I co-wrote a…

Starfleet Academy – Further Thoughts
I had a wee Trek binge at the weekend and am now all caught up on Starfleet Academy. Cheeringly, I'm enjoying it more. Partly due to a standout episode and a half, but mostly because it immediately addressed several of the complaints I had after the first three episodes (click here for those exciting first…
Doctor Who Blasphemy: Curating Your Collection of Tat
This is going to be sacrilege to some Doctor Who fans, but over the past few years I've been curating my Doctor Who collection. I found I just didn't want to have boxes of plastic figures piled up in my attic anymore. I didn't want shelves of books I was never going to reread. I…

Paying the Ferryman at Threave Castle
Actually, you don't have to pay the ferryman, I think the National Trust of Scotland does (or possibly Historic Environment Scotland; one manages the castle, one owns it), but you do require the services of the ferryman in order to reach the castle. Threave Castle is one of my local castles, perhaps my local-est, and…
The Best Worst Lines In Doctor Who
Doctor Who is a television show with hundreds of episodes and thousands of lines of dialogue. Some of those lines are brilliant, inspiring, profound, they can lift your day and/or understanding of the universe. Some are so dire they drag you down into a very dark hole as you scream at the violence inflicted upon…
Star Trek Starfleet Academy – First Impressions
Well, not just first impressions, the first couple of episodes impressions, which in the terrible ways of modern telly is a third of a season. I'm currently having Voyager on in the background while doing chores and it's twenty-six episodes a season. TWENTY-SIX. I've stopped being bitter about Kes leaving because in modern terms she's…

Five Doctor Who Moments That Live In My Head Rent-Free
There are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of great moments in Doctor Who, but those here are a very particular sort of great moment. They're ones that hit me in the chest, made me hold my breath and lean forward as they seared themselves into memory. They made me feel...as though the universe had made a sudden…

Star Trek Discovery Seasons Ranked
Because what better way is there to mark finishing a telly series than by ranking it! And unlike some of its predecessors, I don't know Disco Trek well enough to do a good faith episode ranking, so it's seasons. But, alas, this ranking has no rancour, for I love this series. The characters, the relationships,…
Thoughts Upon Finishing Star Trek Discovery
Star Trek Discovery will always have a special place in my heart. I grew up with nineties Trek. After three shows hitting seven seasons a piece (and in the delicious days of 22 plus episodes seasons) this glorious era ended on a low of Enterprise being cancelled in only its fourth season with an finale…
