    Spoilers Russell T. Davies Returns to Doctor Who as New Showrunner

    I think Disney was an effort to globalize DW to a larger degree. I'm not sure that it was failing but I would agree that it was dwindling. But there's a difference between that and failing. I've often thought the pinnacle of DW's global footprint in terms of social awareness was Day of the...

    Or keep the real estate and keep running the show in tandem with Doctor Who. Dimensions in Time: The Next Regeneration!

    Spoilers Russell T. Davies Returns to Doctor Who as New Showrunner

    Can’t we just cancel Eastenders, sell the real estate that set is on, and get Doctor Who at 20 episodes?

    Spoilers Russell T. Davies Returns to Doctor Who as New Showrunner

    Is it? I was getting the be under the impression that at this point it was failing, and barely surviving on just enough of the hardcore fanbase to keep it on the right side of cancelation. Wasn't the Disney deal and whatever next deal they make with someone else, their last desparate attempts...

    Spoilers Russell T. Davies Returns to Doctor Who as New Showrunner

    ...become *more* prevalent because of the state of financial affairs in broadcast television. (See: Red Dwarf The Promised Land, and the cancellation of its next special over at U&) It’s a sort of life support option. Doctor Who really shouldn’t be as susceptible — it’s entire cast can be...

    News? Stories from Dubious Sources

    Thanks for the clarifications! It's been so long since I last watched DBZ I totally misremembered the complicated dubbing history.

    News? Stories from Dubious Sources

    4Kids never dubbed Dragon Ball Z. The first Western English dub was produced by Funimation partnered with Saban Entertainment who hired Ocean Productions in Canada to do the Dubbing. That lasted for about 50 episodes (edited down from 67). The Saban/Ocean Dub is also where most of the early...

    Does Maurice Hurley deserve more credit for his Star Trek work?

    I didn't know the man personally and neither did you. There are various versions of the friction between him and McFadden out there. She has never made a direct accusation and he has never been charged with anything. Since we have no idea what really happened behind closed doors, I prefer to...

    Non Trek Fic: Spider Quinn (Spider-Man/Daria)

    Part 5 “Daria Morgendorffer, please report to the principal’s office,” Ms. Li announced straight after Homeroom. Daria sighed. She knew that was going to happen. “How are you feeling?” Ms. Li asked when Daria had sat down. “My best friend has been kidnapped! How do you think I’m feeling?”...

    Revisiting the show Sliders

    If they bring back the original cast and creator, maybe. The show is an inverse of a reboot in a way - the main characters (a balancing act of archetypes) are the single grounding factor in new Earths that can be wildly different. Seasons 1 and 2 did excel, and some of 4 and 5 hold up well and...

    Does Maurice Hurley deserve more credit for his Star Trek work?

    Isn't he the guy who tried to MeToo Gates McFadden? If so then I'm fine with keeping him canceled.

    New StarGate series Prime Video.

    They weren't streaming shows, for one thing. And Stargate SG-1 actually had only five seasons on Showtime and five on Syfy. Five seasons was generally a maximum run for basic-cable shows -- no Sci-Fi Channel/Syfy show ever had more than five seasons on the network itself -- so SG-1 kind of got a...

    Poll Who Was Voyager's Best Writer?

    I can't vote on this. With the episodes listed each one of them has an episode I don't care for to cancel out the one I like.

    Was Star Trek one of Hollywood's greatest losers of 2025?

    SNW season 3 seemed on-par with 1 and 2, quality-wise to me. S31 was rubbish, but it's far from the franchise's worst year. That's probably when it was cancelled for the second time.

    Exclusive Clip

    Speculation on my part, but I think the partial reason for the clip is the negative reaction to the trailer/s so far. Though time will tell, will be interesting to see how the Nielson ratings track. If I were to guess it will have a strong openeing probably #7 and by episode 3 it will have fall...

    The curse(?) of small universe syndrome

    With some shared universes, I'd be inclined to agree (e.g. I feel Star Trek: Lower Decks went too far into implausible absurdity at times). But the MCU is just replicating what the comics have always done, lumping together wildly disparate genres and tones into a shared reality. I can't fault it...

    The curse(?) of small universe syndrome

    Largely due to DEADPOOL, perhaps. John Byrne's SHE-HULK seemed to me a pioneer. It beat her Stan Lee debut, most of her initial issues and her AVENGERS stint following the cancellation of her first '80s book.

    ST: TNG Rewatch

    +1 for me, these are fun reads! It's a little sledgehammery, but it feels like a story TOS wouldn't be able to do. The cast are strong and even Wesley isn't a stick figure saving the ship. A solid, if not narrow and basic outing since kidnapping 7 children isn't going to resolve their...

    Alphanumeric! A "ReBoot" (1994 - 2001) documentary series and remaster

    Yes, it's true. The Canadian TV industry is far more lenient on what it can and can't do. Less censorship for the most part.

    Revisiting the show Sliders

    How would you feel if they did a reboot of the show? I'd feel very cautious about this one having seen what happened to the Quantum Leap reboot. I really thought they had a good thing there but then it got cancelled due to ratings or whatever the reason was, I think it was declining ratings...
