The marathon continues tonight at 5:50 PM with the beginning of the John Nathan-Turner era and the Leisure Hive (episodic version.) An impressive start to the 18th series of Doctor Who. A new look, a new sound, an over all feel to the series. You can tell some one elseContinue Reading
It’s been talked to death for the past couple of days, and now for my $0.02 worth of web-space on the “wardrobe failure” incident of the Super Bowl. First off, I didn’t watch the event (just look at the TV Corner bLog – I was watching Doctor Who…) but withContinue Reading
My 40th anniversary Doctor Who marathon continues today at 2:45 PM PST Nightmare of Eden (commercial episodic version.) I’ve always enjoyed this story, and even years later it still holds up. A couple of ships locked together, monsters running amuck, and drug smuggling… 3.5/5Continue Reading
My, it has been a while – but the Doctor Who marathon continues today at 12:00 PM PST with Destiny of the Daleks (episodic version.) This story kicks off one of the silliest series of Doctor Who (must be the influence of the new script editor – Douglas Adams…) TheContinue Reading
I thought that today was going to be just your average day. Go to work, hang out with a bunch of like minded people (geeks like me…) watch some television. It pretty much was an average day, except that it was book ended by death. This morning I was e-mailedContinue Reading
My 40th anniversary marathon of Doctor Who continues today at 1:30 PM PST with The Key to Time, part three – The Stones of Blood (commercial episodic version.) Never really been a favorite of mine, but it isn’t that bad of a story. It’s Earth; there are bloodthirsty stone creatures,Continue Reading
It’s been awhile, but the marathon continued at 1:05 PM PST with The Sunmakers (episodic version.) One my all time favorite stories (well, I am the son of an accountant…) Man is now on Pluto, thanks to “the Company”, and their lives consist of working, paying taxes, and never knowingContinue Reading
Representative Ose (R) and his friend Representative Smith (also R) have introduced a bill (HR 3687) to amend section 1464 of title 18, United States Code, to provide for the punishment of certain profane broadcasts, and for other purposes. As it stand Section 1464. Broadcasting obscene language reads: Whoever uttersContinue Reading
Having taken the holidays off from my marathon, I now resume at 8:00 PM PST with Image of the Fendahl (episodic version.) A very good story, that doesn’t rely on special effects to tell it. Apparently man’s evolution was affected by something terrible that is recalled in Time Lord mythology.Continue Reading
My Doctor Who marathon continues tonight at 6:40 PM PST with Horror of Fang Rock (episodic version.) This series starts out with your typical horror story: a group of people trapped in a solitary location with a monster. A very effective story, with alot of infighting and distrust to makeContinue Reading
