Shaun Collins (3 KP) rated Script Doctor: The Inside Story of Doctor Who 1986-89 in Books
Jan 12, 2018
A wonderfully engaging, inside look behind the scenes of Doctor Who in the late 80s. Andrew Cartmel writes a fantastic peek at what was. Unfortunately the tone of the first half of the book is very matter of fact, chaotic production notes and bits of exchanged dialogue from the principles associated with the shows being produced. It's the second half of the book that contains the meaty stories and thoughts of what was trying to be accomplished and wether or not Mr. Cartmel thought they succeeded. While I miss the factoids in the second half of the book, I wish the first half was written with this kind of open honesty and optimism. Cartmel believed then (and now) that they were doing GOOD science fiction and GOOD Doctor Who at the time, and it's a joy to read his insights on the matter. (For the record, I agree with his assessment.) I just wish the tone of the book was constant throughout. If I were to be so bold, I'd suggest a special edition may be in order, to beef up and marry the two styles together.
Regardless, it's an entertaining read, and provides a rare look at a unique time in the shows history.

Not the best 4 doctor sesaon but not the worst by any means i remember first seeing this when I was at the time wasn't impressed by the new look new titles new theme tune new costume for the doctor. At the time I didn't realise this would be to. Bakers last season.
And it shows in his performance thru out the 7 story's I didn't realise at the time of filming he was really ill and it shows as he gives a moodier performance thru out in my opinion some of his best performances. Some of the storys werent great but both keeper of traken and logopolis stand out for me especially bringing back the master back for the conclusion.
Overall I rate the season 7 but as this also rating the blu ray as well so I give a it 8 it has never looked so good even the bad story's have been too look good as a bonus u get k9 and company as well highly recommend it

Clair (5 KP) rated After the Fire in Books
Sep 29, 2017
The second book based around a cult I've read so far this year. This one tells the story of Moonbeam, a 17 year old girl who lives in the Holy Church of the Lord's Legion. The story starts with the cult falling, people are dying and the Base is on fire. We then join Moon again in a psychiatric hospital where she is being seen by a doctor and we find out what has happened through a series of flashbacks. Events are shocking but it is a real page turner. I guessed the "secret" but it didn't spoil the book at all.

Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated The Disease in Books
Jan 12, 2018
[The Disease] by [George Hamilton] was a medical thriller that pits government loyalty versus the good of humanity. I would like to say this was a post apocalyptic story but sadly I can see events like this being possible today.
The characters of Olga and Ludmilla face choices that will not only affect them but possibly the entire world. The setting is an Eastern European nation while a pandemic rages. Ludmilla is a doctor and "Daughter of the Nation", while Olga her daughter is a dissident. Who can be trusted and what is the right choice are themes throughout this novel.

Micah Ulibarri (79 KP) rated Avengers: Infinity War (2018) in Movies
Apr 27, 2018
An extremely amazing film with an ending they tell you is gonna happen from the beginning, yet you don't believe it. Characters that get the most development are Thor, Vision, Scarlett Witch, Doctor Strange, Gamorra, Thanos, and the Hulk, which, when you think about it, is still quite a lot.
The ending makes you really feel like something has changed in the world. The acting is great. The special effects are really good. This is the first time I have ever noticed the score in a Marvel film. Go see it as soon as possible in theaters. This is an actual cultural event.
