Doctor Who: Series Twelve Finale - The Timeless Children (REVIEW)

"Alien Invasion or Teen Angst?" - The Fandom of Doctor Who
During my second year of university in 2016, I came across (by accident) the Doctor Who spin-off Class, which focused on a group of troubled sixth form students and their reluctant rebel alien teacher charged to protect an alien prince. What struck me instantly was Patrick Ness's writing, which was so captivating and grounded - all of the characters had their light and dark sides, making them all have morally grey moments and complex developments throughout. After the first two episodes, I thought it was good for its genre and by the third episode I was hooked and fully invested in the series - coupled with brilliantly diverse characters, fantastic direction and moving score, Class was a show that really stood out for me.
BIG FINISH - Torchwood: Dissected (REVIEW)
As someone who was first introduced to the Doctor Who universe during Tennant’s run, Martha Jones always felt like the underdog - which is why I always loved her character arc and how she developed as a character. Martha had an intriguing arc that was shadowed in mystery when she left the TARDIS in Journey’s End and later returned in the midst of fighting a Judoon married to none other than Mickey Smith (Noel Clarke) – that one scene not only showed great chemistry between both beloved characters and gave a satisfying ending, it left a lot og questions. How did we get here?
Doctor Who: The Best Cybermen Episodes Of The New Series
Wow! After pushing the idea of a massive 'Two-Part' finale all season, Doctor Who threw a twist at fans in psuedo-historical episode 'The Haunting Of Villa Diodati', introducing the Lone Cyberman a week early. Unfortunately, The Doctor is unable to heed Captain Jack's warning from 'Fugitive Of The Judoon', forced to give the Cyberman the Cyberium it was seeking in order to keep History intact.

Doctor Who Series 12 has been filled with many shocks and surprises. A leap up from Series 11 as a whole. So far this series we’ve been treated to a number of familiar faces, including the Master (now played by Sacha Dhawan), the Judoon and the long-awaited reappearance of Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman).
Lewis JefferiesPublished 4 years ago in FuturismReview of 'Project Blue Book' 2.1
The pulpy science fiction that is Project Blue Book was back on the History Channel last Tuesday for the debut of its second season. I was kidnapped by a UFO so didn't get a chance to watch and review until now -- no, only kidding, I was really up in Boston last Tuesday, for a radio show in which my new album Welcome Up: Songs of Space and Time was debuted. That's true -- listen to this -- and I promise everything else I say in this review will be true, at least as far as I know it.

Jodie Whittaker’s second series as the Thirteenth Doctor is settling in nicely and shaping to be an action-packed series. With us now halfway through Series 12, it appears Chibnall has learned from previous mistakes, built upon those mistakes and added a unique vision on the way.

In 2018, Netflix released an ambiguous trailer about two individuals that volunteer themselves to undergo a pharmaceutical testing trial. What made this sci-fi preview interesting was it had something to offer. There were tense images of what was to become of these characters we haven't met yet, what made them want to be here, the ending of the trailer had Emma Stone dressed in a 1920's outfit. That was a unique twist to keep my intrigue, and I anticipated what questions would be answered when I watched it.

During the Wimbledon final, it was revealed Peter Capaldi will regenerate into Jodie Whittaker – the show’s first ever female Doctor.

Lewis JefferiesPublished 4 years ago in FuturismReview: 'Star Trek Short Treks' 2-4 & 2-5
After three live action vignettes, the second set of Short Treks presents a double bill of animated shorts, the first animated Star Trek episodes for forty-five years. It's surprising that the franchise hasn't explored the animated medium more often. After all, it's much easier to create alien life forms, spectacular ships and strange new worlds in cartoon form than live action. However, while Star Trek: The Animated Series has experienced a reassessment in recent years, it's long had a poor reputation, and this has likely put the blocks on animated Trek for years.
