The Juggernauts
Is it wrong of me to be glad to be done with the Divergent universe and have the Doctor and company back in our universe? I think Paul McGann is both a really nice guy and a great Doctor but … Continue reading

Control
There was a recent game release called Control that looked like it would have been a game right up my alley, but somehow the trailer didn’t appeal to me. I don’t really have a good explanation for it. 3rd person … Continue reading
What Remains of Edith Finch
It’s been a while, but we’re back with some games that I got into while we were on a Twilight Zone kick! Some time ago, I picked up a game called Gone Home which one might call a walking simulator, in … Continue reading

Caerdroia
I’d be lying if I said I liked the name of this episode, but it’s not one of those weirdly spelled alien names as you might expect, but rather it’s a Welsh word for, essentially, a maze. That might not … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: You Might Also Like
When I watched Try, Try, I was disappointed and made the comment that out of 20 episodes, there were only 4 really great ones. I neglected Blurryman when I said that, which would have brought us up to 5. With … Continue reading

The Last
Not for nothing, but you have to give Big Finish massive kudos for some of their stories. The advantage of being in a different universe means they have the freedom of playing with the logic of the land. Add to … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: Try, Try
Well, I can’t say I’m disappointed that the series is coming to an end. We had a number of great episodes in a row, but for the penultimate one, Try Try, we’re back to heavy handed messages about the hostility … Continue reading

Faith Stealer
Some Doctor Who stories are good, if a bit mundane. I mean, it’s not an out-of-this-world story that has the Doctor’s friends under mental control of some alien influence that tries to kill them. Been there, done that. What is … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: A Small Town
I had mentioned during Downtime, that it felt like the programmers of the game that we call life had a reason for preventing me from watching season 2 of The Twilight Zone until after Eric Molinsky released his Imaginary Worlds … Continue reading

Medicinal Purposes
This is one of the rare times that I have to say, shame on you Big Finish! Medicinal Purposes left a very bad taste in my ears about Big Finish as a producer of Doctor Who merchandise. Thankfully, their success rate … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: A Human Face
Of all the episodes of Jordan Peele’s Twilight Zone, this is the one that had some of the most interesting discussion between me and my group of “penpals”. We’re a handful of friends that watch shows “together”, which is to … Continue reading

The Roof of the World
When I saw the title of this adventure, I was a bit put off because I know that refers to Tibet and I wasn’t up for an historical story. Still, I’ve been going in order, so I’d have to deal … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: 8
I’m embarrassed to say it took me until writing up this review to realize why the episode was titled 8. In fairness, it’s a testament to the writing, acting, and directing that the title just faded into the background. This … Continue reading

The Harvest
The Harvest opens with preparations for a birthday party for a chap named Hex who will be celebrating at The White Rabbit, and I can’t help but wonder: did I miss an Alice in Wonderland reference in Arrangements for War?? … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: Among The Untrodden
So far, this season has impressed me more than season one, but none of the episode really wow’d me… until now. I finally feel we have a strong episode that can hold up as an example of what The Twilight … Continue reading

Arrangements for War
I remember there was a lot of hype around this story when it was being released. It didn’t wow me then and it almost didn’t now. However, active listening is very different from passive listening and that may have saved … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: Ovation
Last week I mentioned just what a bleak place the Twilight Zone could be. While I stand behind that, it’s not really the Zone itself that’s bleak, but the people who we find entering it. The problem is often one … Continue reading

The Axis of Insanity
Fans of Doctor Who are used to the versatile nature of the show. If there’s one thing Doctor Who has always been good at, it’s mixing and matching different formulae to create something that works. Oh, that’s not to say … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: The Who of You
Sometimes The Twilight Zone feels like a very unpleasant place, doesn’t it? I mean, it’s bleak. We meet a guy who is just awkward to watch. He comes home to a miserable girlfriend who is unsympathetic. Not that he deserves … Continue reading
