For my blogathon month, and not such a cheating post as yesterday, here's a beautiful listicle of entirely sensible opinions. So, the Original Series. Now, much as I wouldn’t call myself a Trek fan, mostly cause I can’t stomach the idea of being called a fan of TNG (I’m sorry, it’s a great show! Many…
So here’s the thing: I’ve been enjoying this season of Doctor Who very much, it’s fun and delightful and Bill is superb, HOWEVER, it has also been Wholly Unsurprising; other than the Doctor acquiring a professorship and more permanent Earth residence. Every story so far, I can more or less guess the plot beats if…
JUST OUT OF TIME (I finished writing just before this week's ep, but didn't manage to post it before I watched since PROOFREADING takes time; yes, I proofread these things, yes, I know I have many typos), this week’s rather late review type thing of Doctor Who.

It’s late, I know. And ACTUALLY late, not just in the same week, but not as timely as I’d like late. NEVER MIND. Let’s cast our minds back a week and a bit to what was at the time MAYBE my new fav episode of the series. But now it has definitely settled down just…

I'm a LITTLE bit behind in Game of Thrones, and this is actually the last episode I've seen. I may have caught a glimpse of a trailer for last week's though and OMG. But, yes, cast your mind back Some Weeks Ago to an episode that couldn't help but be a little bit of a…
Quite excited that Game of Thrones is back on the telly this week (or last week, if you are States-wise - we get our ep on the Monday); and ever so slightly more excited than last year, because last year I was really Quite Bitter that there was no more Charles Dance. Alas, there is…
Some time ago I finished watching season one of Lost, a mere decade behind the cutting edge of pop culture. Now, I've finished season two, ra, so at this rate, it will only be a few months before I'll merely be four years out of date, hurrah! Here be spoilers, for season two of Lost,…
