Reminded that one of my favourite episodes of Star Trek contains one of its worst visual effects
It’s very dry here and some rain would be most welcome
Better start preparing for some more podcasts… including one of these three!
The more I think about it, the more annoyed I am with the quality of the final product of the Voyager doc. They interviewed so many people but used very little of their contributions. I mean they had almost nothing on Seska and the Kazon. Naomi Wildman was totally absent.
David G-P@davidjgp1983.bsky.social · 4d agoAfter quite a wait the Voyager documentary arrived. And to be honest it’s not brilliant. It jumps all over the place, there’s some random bits that feel like padding and some of the really interesting behind the scenes stories aren’t given a lot of time or depth.

As it is @strange-cargo.bsky.social birthday we watched the Top of the Pops from the week he was born. Firstly it’s an episode was an amazing (and highly gay) episode. And secondly Peri turns up!
There’s a certain level of fun trying to follow #TOTP when you’re in the pub with no idea of what you’re all enduring
There is no greater TV theme tune/earworm than the theme to The Young Doctors
I don’t understand why but I’ve found that when I mention that I like ABBA to some people they feel they have to tell me how much they hate them. I get it with other groups are mentioned, but ABBA seems to bring out the ire in some.
Camp? Over the top? Maybe… but the end of Part Three of Enlightenment is simply glorious
For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of long before I knew

I think I’ve just spotted the point in Enlightenment where the Doctor works out Turlough is in league with the Black Guardian… Maybe?
I, Claudius is on BBC4 this week and the whole series is on the iPlayer. Highly, highly recommended to anyone who’s never seen it. Any volunteers for this one?
I loved Duggan from City Of Death. They should have kept him on as a companion. Better still, he should have had a spin-off... RIP Tom Chadbon (1946-2026) www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3L-...

Watched a video of suggestions on how to deal with The Reality War cliffhanger and the “ignore it (for now)” feels more and more like the best option. While leaving the cliffhanger unresolved is frustrating it feels like a blank slate is needed to coax audiences back
Okay… which one of you wrote this?
Anon Opin@anonopin.bsky.social · last wk.Series 1-3 of Blake's 7 is some of the best and most innovative scifi tv ever made. Astonishing, must-watch stuff. Series 4 is utterly dire and you should definitely not ruin your experience of the show by continuining to watch it beyond the end of series 3.
Tonight’s Secret Army was the episode Guilt. And things do not end well for Peter Barkworth. But I’m sure there’ll be no consequences to Curtis’ actions

Mystery treasure scavenger hunt type thing across Manchester. Super fun! And my team won!
Things kids today will never understand: watching the first hour of a film, then being forced to wait half an hour to see the ending
Out on Canal Street and by 22:30 it was time to either finish up or go inside. Is this a new thing when out at night or did I miss something?
Maybe I’m being a bit slow but I don’t understand how you can have a Scrooge prequel when his story was pretty much told in the original? It’s all about money isn’t it
