David (771 KP) rated Doctor Who - Series 1 (New Season - 1) in TV
Feb 20, 2019 (Updated Feb 20, 2019)
Great to have the Doctor and TARDIS back
As a Whovian, this review will be very bias.
If you have never seen any classic Who this was a great place to start. The mystery of a blue police box and its lone traveller in space and time still keeps you guessing on where we will be going next and who we will meet, friend or foe. Old enemies and new still keep you poised to jump behind the sofa.
The mix of humour, drama and Sci-Fi still makes this the best British series ever. It is a shame Christopher Eccleston didn't do more than one series but he certainly did a 'Fantastic' job at bringing this much loved character back.

I think this book is a great take on a world catastrophe event and seeing it from 2 different points of view from 2 of the most isolated places.
I felt it started off really slowly and picked up a few chapters in.
The writing is fantastic, you really feel as if your in the Arctic and space.
I loved the fact that in the end the last people alive already had a connection and they didn't know who eachother were when they connected by radio..... Its was bittersweet I think.
I do wish however that at the end of the book, when they land on earth i would have liked to know what happened to earth. That's going to bug me!!

Great features, with more added regularly (2 more)
Instagram community is awesome
Cool filters and editing functions
This is my favourite social media platform! I love sharing (mostly) nature photos with my followers. I love the photo editing tools, and the filters (though I don't use those as often).
Considering a huge bulk of my followers are internet strangers, the community is generally friendly and supportive. I love Instagram to microblog; it is so easy to engage with followers.
One issue I've been having is that the text field is hit or miss on my posts; when I try to space out my descriptions sometimes it just throws everything close together as if I didn't hit enter.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2464 KP) rated Space Case (Moon Base Alpha #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Dashiell Gibson is one of the first people living on the Moon colony, and he’s found life for the kids to be rather boring. All that changes when one of the residents is found dead outside the base. While everyone thinks it was an accident, Dash is certain it was murder. But can he prove it?
This is a great combination of mystery and science fiction. The setting is realistically done and really adds to the story. The target middle grade audience will love the characters and the humor. Personally, I never saw the ending coming. I can’t wait for the sequel.

I honestly don't have much to say about this book. It is simplistic and written very basically, yet it has a certain something that endears me to read it again and continue with the series. The plight of the Westward Pioneers is something I have a great personal interest and considerable knowledge so it is nice to know that Ingalls Wilder has not elaborated and 'tweaked' too much of her life to make this more exciting. It is a true representation of the daily life of those first brave Americans who went west to find space, fame and fortune; something that was iconic of the era and this book captures that beautifully. Very much looking forward to reading the next in the series!

Seen this too many times
I used to watch this movie a lot when I was in middle school.
Kind of a Star Wars/Logan's Run ripoff where an enslaved civilization lives underground doing the bidding of the evil Zygon never questioning if there is a world above or where they fit in the universe. The discovery of a mysterious sword hilt send Orin on an outer space adventure he would never forget.
It was always funny hearing animated characters says "damn" and "shit" when I was younger. Not a big deal now.
Originally released in 3D, you can tell when you watch, but it is still an entertaining animated thrill ride adventure.
