    Fun The Birth of IMDF!

    Ranking Polls I can't see this has been suggested before and I have no idea how easy it is to implement. Basically I was hoping to be able to create ranking polls, for example: Question: How would you rank the movies in the Friday the 13th series? Being able to then select your favourite all...

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 9 "Hemeac"

    Oil was spilled in the corridor, was in Hemeac or the Janitor? Or was it even spilled at all? Welcome to Paradox. I'm was going to assume the girl who gets let go from the academy is called Hermeac. That would make sense and several times Hemeac says "Her" when he is referring to the girl. But...

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 9 "Hemeac"

    Cool so do you specialise in special needs? Is most of your work one to one or do you do full classes? My brother in law is a secondary school (11-16 year olds) teacher and one of my good friends is a primary school (5-11 year olds) teaching assistant.

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 9 "Hemeac"

    Heh I tried to figure out how to link to the thread and decided just to copy and paste instead. I've just remembered how simple it is to do now, do you remember having to learn markup language for the other site? :emoji_scream:

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 9 "Hemeac"

    I've been a little sporadic with my entries. Usually a week behind sometimes more. This is the DVD order of episodes if it will help with advanced warning: 01 The Girl Who Was Plugged In (5) 02 Our Lady Of The Machine (1) 03 Alien Jane (7) 04 The News From D Street (4) 05 Research Alpha (2)...

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 8 "The Extra"

    Heh is it Bee-ta or Bay-ta coins though? The morals in Betaville seem to be a little all over the place. Last week it was suggested that the mind fence would be scrapped because "we are humans too" this implies that human well being is still a concern. In this weeks episode you are allowed to...

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 7 "The Winner"

    Innovative and advanced prisons frequently pop up in movies and TV. From the recent Escape Plan to Fortress or the Running Man. The Running Man had a similar idea to this episode, no walls but cross a certain point and bad things happened. There are some nice futuristic touches like the black...

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 6 "Blue Champagne"

    Sorry I've fallen behind again. I am coming up to some leave so been working hard but should be able to get up to date soon. Catweazle included. Blakes 7 might be difficult but I shall try.

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 6 "Blue Champagne"

    In the future swimming regulations are extremely strict with 3 lifeguards required for an area no bigger than a paddling pool. The idea of the "Feelies" is interesting. It reminds me of a Doctor Who story "The Paradise of Death" where there was a technology called Experienced Reality. In that...

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 5 "Research Alpha"

    Ok lets see from the intro they are making a improved human and the wife is going to get accidentally affected by the experiment, perhaps even killed. Is this spoilers? we shall see. We get introduced to the Omega Serum which is an attempt to mutate the species and improve it. This sounds like...

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 4 "News from D Street"

    An excellent episode this week. As a general rule, don't let the powerful and dangerous boss know you are quitting, and have information he wants, before saying he will only get it over your dead body. Just disappear one day, or at least if you have to tell him do it from a long distance. I...

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 3 "Alien Jane"

    I was quite a fan of Blossom when I was younger. I think there is something about the fast talking kid who always has the answer that appeals at a certain age. Once you get pass that age you stop rooting for Bueller and start sympathising with Rooney. Once the setup for the episode became clear...

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 2 "Our Lady of the Machine"

    A tight little mystery this week and an excellent lead character. I really liked Angel's approach to the situation, he was methodical and didn't jump to conclusions to lightly. His arc in terms of his beliefs was well handled. In the end it really didn't whether it was just a hologram or...

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 1 "The Girl Who Was Plugged In"

    Realised at the very end of the episode that this show is called Welcome to Paradox not Welcome to the Paradox, strange how I added a definite article. A really strong concept to start off the series. Creating connections between the human mind and a remote avatar be it organic or synthetic...

    Review The Omega Factor

    I was wondering if any of you have given the Big Finish Omega Factor stuff a go. I just finished the audiobook "Spider's Web" which was excellent. It is read by Louise Jameson and tells the story of an investigation Tom and Anne undertook. It gets really creepy at time. The first audiobook...

    Review BLAKE'S 7: SEEK, LOCATE, DESTROY - Episode 06

    It seems the Liberator wardrobe room comes with coloured jackets for all the crew. Blake grey, Vila red, Avon blue, Gan brown and Cally green. I wonder if Jenna gets yellow or pink? I like the infiltration mission that begins the episode. It's nice to see the team planning and executing a...

    Review BLAKE'S 7: THE WEB - Episode 05

    Yikes it's been nearly a month. Well I've managed to square away Star Cops so I think 1 or 2 Blakes a day should get me right up to date, as the saying goes. Opening scenes were very creepy, looked like a few Rovers from The Prisoner hanging around and then a creepy head in a jar, good start...

    Review STAR COPS: LITTLE GREEN MEN AND OTHER MARTIANS - Episode 09

    So Star Cops is definitively the greatest show ever made, very interesting. :emoji_grin:

    Review STAR COPS: LITTLE GREEN MEN AND OTHER MARTIANS - Episode 09

    Yes that's exactly it. I kept thinking "ah now he see's where Nathan is coming from" only for him to push against him in the next episode or scene. I know someones character wouldn't change completely but he seemed to be making the same assumptions and mistakes again and again.

    Review STAR COPS: LITTLE GREEN MEN AND OTHER MARTIANS - Episode 09

    I always feel quite down when I reach the last episode of a tv series. The last time you hear the intro song, what will happen to the characters, what potential for future episodes has now been lost. This has been a great thing for many shows including Doctor Who. When I listen to them I...
