I'd agree that The Well is a classic. I really liked Dot and Bubble A LOT. I'm not sure that I would call it a classic. And Lux was half a step behind Dot and Bubble. I really liked it but not a classic.
I just think the hit rate in RTD1 was higher than in RTD2. Yeah, you can find good and even...
Maybe that's just in your area? I continue to get the new releases from my local Chapters, and they haven't missed a release in years.
At any rate, you can order the books online (at the website @The Wormhole provided) and have them shipped to your local Coles for pickup, for free...
...yet been commissioned by anyone, on any platform whatsoever.
2. Further episodes of Doctor Who beyond what we just got were dependent on the ratings / viewership for this season that just ended.
3. Viewership for Disney+ Season 1 wasn't particularly good.
4. We have reliable information that...
Yup, Davies's best work for Doctor Who has been his solo episodes, and not the grand finales/premiere/specials, which have a high fail to success rate (in my eyes, only "The Stolen Earth"/"Journey's End" are the only truly good ones in those sets).
Absolutely, though truth be told I think he has a pretty decent hit rate of enjoyable episodes to rubbish ones.
I wish he'd let someone else start and finish a season through! More 73 Yards and The Well please!
All you’re talking about is buzz and ratings. I’ve yet to hear anything substantive about a story that justifies a 94-year-old actor reprising a role he hasn’t played on screen in 31 years.
A franchise that’s only capable of looking backward is not one that’s thriving. It’s a move of...
...Apparently, there is a group of writers who agree with me and are drafting (or have drafted) a script to include Shatner. Why do you suggest it would be "vapid" or "pointless"?
Shatner's return would bring bigger ratings and more positive buzz than all of Lower Decks and Discovery combined.
I like to think that, at least in the continuity of TOS, that the Mirror Universe was somehow created during the events of City on the Edge of Forever.
...cast’s series finale at their expense?
O'Brien was no longer associated with TNG. And Worf was brought onto the show halfway through for ratings. By the time of WYLB, they were considered DS9 characters.
Barclay was not remotely the focus of the story.
Did anyone from TNG show up in the...
Keep in mind that Dead City is not on the same timeline as The Walking Dead's final season, The Ones Who Live, Daryl Dixon or the final season of Fear the Walking Dead, the latter's time scale finally matching the parent series, from what has been said of Morgan's final FTWD episode. That means...
...do that.
And finally, I know the phrase "jump the shark" has jumped the shark. But if anything epitomizes a random, bizarre stunt to jack up ratings, it's having Ncuti regenerate into BIllie Piper. It smacks of desperation, regardless of whether she's the next Doctor or something else.
This...
"Fairest Of Them All" - 4/5*
Stardate: Unknown - In the Mirror Universe Spock runs into conflict with the return of his universe's Captain Kirk.
This is a fun episode in many respects. Many if not all of us have wondered what might have happened when the Mirror Universe versions of Kirk and...
yeah Bigelow lost on that. Bigelow was planning on human rated vehicles being rated years before they really were, so he basically had no way to get to a station if he built one. He built two inflatable satellites and that one module on the ISS that's still there. They use it like a storage...
I know everyone is going to debate endlessly about whether or not Billie is actually The Doctor when we all she probably is, but I do like this one possibility. Billie has already played The Moment with a built-in explanation for her appearance so why not here with the Heart of the TARDIS?
When...
