    Review Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    I think the idea of trying to replace Harrison Ford as Han Solo is where this film will struggle. The concept of a prequel showing a young Han Solo is reasonable. The clips I've seen look like it might even be a decent story. It certainly looks good. And I suspect that the issue will only be for...

    Fun Star Trek: Discovery (2017)

    So I finally finished season 1. Just as I started to enjoy it, it went a little downhill again. Once they escaped the mirror universe the final couple of episodes felt like bit of a let down. The finale I found very disappointing. The idea that the title ship's crew defies Starfleet's orders and...

    Review Ant-Man & the Wasp (2018)

    Not that I'm complaining or anything, but I'm struggling to understand why Marvel even bothers with trailers any more. Surely they could just do a 5 second ad with the title and release date and people would flock to see the movie.

    Review Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    I suspect that this will be the first Star Wars movie I haven't seen at the cinema. Unless it gets some exceptional word of mouth once its released, then I might change my mind. But given limited finances and a fair number of other movies I'm actually interested in it's unlikely.

    Review DISCUSSION- CATWEAZLE: "THE SUN IN A BOTTLE" - Episode 01

    Unfortunately not. It's one of those shows that I always thought I'd enjoy but have never quite got around to finding time to watch.

    Review DISCUSSION- CATWEAZLE: "THE SUN IN A BOTTLE" - Episode 01

    I'm not really sure what I think of this show yet. Like @Mad-Pac I've never seen this show so I'm coming into it without any real frame of reference. I imagine that as a child I would have probably enjoyed this. It's similar in concept to Worzel Gummidge which I did see and enjoy. But I imagine...

    Fun Star Trek: Discovery (2017)

    That's a great theory and that's how I'm going to accept the show. Star Trek but from a drastically altered timeline. No need for the continuity to match up that way.

    Fun Star Trek: Discovery (2017)

    So I've made it up to episode 12 now and I have to say, this show is growing on me. It's still not Star Trek but, watching it as a standalone sci-fi adventure series, I'm finding that I'm starting to enjoy it. The story is intriguing and well acted and the effects are gorgeous. Where the show...

    Review Ghostbusters: Answer the Call (2016)

    If women are being inspired by seeing the science that the women in this movie did, then I fear for the future of science. I suspect the fact that it was a pretty bad movie didn't help it either.

    Review Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    I'm amazed that, with all the characters and action scenes in this movie, they still managed to have a coherent plot and some quiet character moments. Absolutely worth the money. The only downside is that we've got a whole year to wait for the next part.

    Controversial Poor Old Jar Jar: Is All the Hatred Warranted?

    Only if its in a scene where he's painfully tortured to death.

    Fun Your Favourite Books & Authors!

    That was the problem with a lot of the Star Trek books. Many of them come across as badly written fan fiction with no real understanding of the characters. Although there are a few that were quite good.

    Review BLAKE'S 7: DUEL - Episode 08

    Well it's a pretty ordinary human that can't drink a dalek under the table.

    Review BLAKE'S 7: DUEL - Episode 08

    It seems to have been a common issue among BBC sci-fi writers in that era. I don't think they were completely clear on the differences between galaxies, constellations, and solar systems. Remember in The Daleks Master Plan when the Daleks created an alliance of multiple galaxies to take on one...

    Fun Marvel Shared Universe

    Thank's @Doctor Omega for your list. While I don't agree with all of your placements, its well thought out and explained. I might have to respond with my own list after I've seen Infinity War tomorrow. And in the meantime (not as a criticism but just because the OCD part of my brain can't...

    If that happens, take the trophy and run. None of this "giving it back to the rightful winner" shit!

    Review BLAKE'S 7: BREAKDOWN - Episode 10

    I have to say I have mixed feelings about this episode. There are a lot of good elements but they just don't seem to come together well for me. I was excited to see that Gan (who has been woefully underused so far) was getting a "day in the limelight" episode, but it turned out that he didn't...

    If you write the lyrics and I'm happy to do the score :emoji_relaxed: Might be a bit of a challenge convincing anyone to stage it for us though.

    Review Man of Steel (2013)

    I certainly hope so. In Justice League we finally got to see what a real Superman could be like with Henry Cavill in the role and I for one would definitely like to see more of that.

    Controversial The IMDF Conflict Zone!

    It's always astonished me that, in this era of reboots and remakes, no one has ever tried to bring Mr Squiggle back. It wouldn't be the same without the original voices but it still seems like the kind of kids show that would be a success in any era.
