Been a busy couple of weeks so I'm playing catch up now. Some initial thoughts as I watch the episode. Finally we get to see the crew starting to learn about how to control the Liberator, even if it is only a brief mention. Once again Avon makes perfect sense, while being ignored by all the...

I agree that the idea of firing people based on allegations is unreasonable, however I suspect that, given the nature of many of the allegations, the studios must have had some awareness of what was happening and been involved in cover-ups and they're only reacting now because it's become public...

Yeah but in this case there's definitely enough material for 2 movies in the book. Unlike the Hobbit which would have been perfect as a single movie or maybe 2 with the additional storylines of the White Council.

Yeah that's one of the 2nd century documents I referred to. Written around 117CE (almost 90 years after Jesus death) and it doesn't contain anything he couldn't have learned from speaking with Christians. There's no other obvious source for his information given that he was born 20 years after...

I watched the first few episodes but never really got into it. It didn't really feel like it was part of BSG. Later I found out that it had been developed as a separate concept and merged with BSG to get the brand recognition.

Actually, I have studied it quite a bit and there's actually no contemporary evidence of Jesus. The first writings about Jesus are Paul's letters about 25-39 years after his death. Then the Gospels (between 40 and 65 years after his death). The earliest non-Christian mentions are 2 brief...

Yeah, if he were to do it, it would only for a short, predetermined, time. I can see him committing to one season of a show but not much more.

Is it just me, or does that costume make his head look small?

With around 30 main characters that gives each character about 5 minutes individual screen time. Although I'm guessing we won't see much of any character on their own. Mostly they'll be doubling and tripling up for scenes.

I enjoyed the reboot. I wouldn't say it was "better" (or "worse"). It just took a different approach to the concept than the original. Both started in a fairly similar manner but the original continued in a more light-hearted, episodic approach (which was appropriate for that era) and the reboot...

It would have had to be a reboot anyway. There's no way to do a continuation of a 1978 TV show that has since had a TV reboot, without confusing the hell out of the audience.

Well based on DC's efforts to date it seems quite likely. Unlike Marvel the executives don't seem to understand what people like about their heroes.

I have to say I've never been a big fan of Shazam in the comics (or Captain Marvel as I knew him) but that costume looks exceptionally hokey for a big budget remake. I know people are always complaining about them not being true to the comic versions but I would have thought there was room for...

I think a lot of the authors took advantage of the novelisation form to really enhance the stories beyond what was seen on screen, especially in the era before video releases. I remember reading reviews of some of the episodes and wondering why people seem to hate some of the best stories that I...

I watched this initially because of Joss Whedon and Eliza Dushku. It started off with an intriguing concept but then took a few episodes to really find its feet. Once they started to establish a bit of an arc it really became enjoyable, especially the (initially unaired) season 1 finale. The...

Looks like we've got a trilogy of trilogy starters.

I won't disagree that he gave a great performance (as he does in everything he's in) and it was definitely an interesting approach to the character. It might be that I just need to watch the episode again to fully appreciate it. First viewing I was taken out of the story by what felt like an out...

Just looking at my Doctor Who timeline and I realised that this story is due to happen any day now. After the government managed to keep the 1986 Cyberman invasion quiet I expect this will be kept secret too. Perhaps this is why Trump is trying to build a wall to keep the Mexicans out. He's...

I think that's true. I'm struggling to remember anything else in the Hartnell era that could have been construed that way. There are probably some instances but only because of the era. The Doctor has generally been relatively progressive. The only similar line was when the 2nd Doctor told Polly...

Another good episode. The model used for the moon buggy was excellent. Like others I continue to be impressed with how predictive this show was about the future. Sure they're off in some areas (a laser gun - really?) but eBooks, computer viruses, ect. Unfortunately the mystery was a bit...
