Wow…
Where do I even start with this book? Jennifer Uhlarik did an amazing job with the historical aspects of this book. I loved a glimpse into rural fort life and that of a female doctor during the turn of the last century. The emotions and actions of the characters were very engaging and believable. I so enjoyed the love story

2004.
Were still in pre-MCU era, and still have Toby Maguire in the dual role of Peter Parker/Spider-Man.
Loosely adapting the classic 'Spider-Man no more' comic run, this is also the movie with Alfred Molina's Doctor Octopus, and with the whole 'stopping the train' sequence, that still stands as one of the best superhero sequels to date!

Sarah (7800 KP) rated Doctor Who - Series 12 (New Season 12) in TV

Getting stale
When Doctor Who first came back into our screens, I loved it and loved it for quite a few series however the longer the show has been running for, the more tired of it I become. Like with any tv show, I think there comes a time when you should call it a day before it starts to become stale and people lose interest. I’m afraid to say that Doctor Who has gone past that point for me.
Don’t get me wrong, this was still a fairly enjoyable series. I adore Jodie Whittaker as the Doctor, I think she’s rather wonderful and I’m surprised at how many people don’t really rate her. I also find all of her companions quite bearable and probably the most bearable out of all of those that have come before - most likely because they haven’t tried to shoe horn in some cringey romantic aspects with the Doctor. Although I can only think of The Chase when I look at Bradley Walsh.
The problem is that the storylines are all getting a bit old and rather samey, whether they’re new enemies or old ones returning. Especially with the old foes returning, how many more times can we see the return of the Daleks or the Cybermen? It’s been done too many times. It was nice in this series to see the return of a familiar friendly face and it was nice in a way to see the return of a familiar and much loved enemy, however without spoilers I will say that this returning face isn’t quite as good as the one that came before it.
Overall this was an enjoyable series but not particularly memorable, and I really think they should consider giving this show a rest for a while.

Rache (174 KP) rated The Bright Sessions in Podcasts

Great plot (3 more)
Brilliant voice actors
Excellent writing
Unique universe
Definitely Atypical
Starting with the introduction of a new patient, Doctor Bright's sessions are recorded in her office as she runs a psychology service for "Atypicals" - people who have a variety of unusual abilities... and associated psychological issues.
The story unfolds, becoming far more involved as the episodes continue. As the story unfolds, the universe expands to involve not just a few Atypicals visiting their doctor, but a vast, shadowy network of government organisations, a population of Atypicals around the world, throughout history, a brilliant "bad guy", and so much more.
Immersive, realistic, unflinching in its poor opinion of much of humanity, dark, moralistic, and all-round fantastic, the only regret is that I didn't discover this podcast until it was already over.
Or is it?
I, for one, certainly hope not!

Just watched the first three episodes of this lost classic doctor who that was first shown in the 1960s but was junked by the BBC in the 70s but all that remains of the story is episodes one and three untill now we can watch it in full animated release is it any good so far yes the plot which takes place in and around Gatwick airport in which aliens are kindapping young people thru chameleon tours and replacing them with dupaites. The plot is very invasion of the body snatchers but on a BBC budget. Acting wise Patrick troughton is in his element as the doctor with support from the rest of the cast. Looking forward to the animated release later in the year fury from the deep that once a true classic
