Doctor Who tries it hand at a, well, two-hander, as the Doctor and Bill explore a seemingly deserted colony. Watch Stripes Streaming.

And I'll be honest, when I was first planning Vaka Rangi in 2. I had no intention of covering the Original Series, the Animated Series, the movies, Voyager, the Dominion War or anything else. That I've managed to stretch the project out for this long still quite frankly amazes me. The fact of the matter is I really don't have many more places to go with Star Trek. With Ill Wind, I've basically said all I wanted to say. I did what I set out to do.

Directed by Richard Clark. With David Tennant, Freema Agyeman, Ardal O'Hanlon, Anna Hope. The Doctor takes Martha to New Earth, where she is kidnapped by two. Series 3 of Doctor Who, which ran mostly during 2007, saw David Tennant joined by Freema Agyeman as Martha Jones for most of the series' episodes.

I do have some stuff to say about Enterprise and I'm working on the early stages of a rough outline of an .. The hypothetical situation is that someone who is new to the show and yet for some reason *doesn't* want to marathon binge- watch it as is the standard way of consuming TV these days could theoretically be interested in my recommendations for the best stories so as to emphasize the cream of the crop while avoiding filler and missteps.

Each entry has a link to my essay on the story for those who might want to revisit them. I first did something like this when, following a joke Kevin Burns made to me about Futurama, I was challenged to find . TOS fans will likely be annoyed as there's probably more episodes from that show one could recommend (and I *still* would have chosen different episodes after publishing Vaka Rangi Volume 1), but I wanted to limit myself to 2. I was far harsher in my choices than I might otherwise have been. I didn't do .. Gideon is a psychopath. Psychopaths are narcissists.

They rarely doubt who they are. DR. CHILTON: Tried to appeal to his narcissism. HANNIBAL: By convincing him he was the Chesapeake Ripper. DR. CHILTON: If only I had been more curious: about the common mind. HANNIBAL: I have no interest in understanding sheep.

Only eating them. One of Hannibal’s more bluntly callous secret confessions. Its unusual viciousness is probably explained by his understandable frustration at having to relate in any way, shape, or form to Chilton.

Also interesting is the selection of animals for the metaphor - a departure from the show’s default choice of pigs that flags the particular disdain with which Hannibal holds Chilton. DR. CHILTON: I thought psychic driving would have been more effective in breaking down his personality. HANNIBAL: Psychic driving fails because its methods are too obvious. You were trying too hard, Fredrick. If force is used, the subject will only surrender temporarily. Hannibal is, of course, obliquely ..

At this precise moment, a ton of threads that have been going on for a while are converging. Most immediately, we’re doing the trailered regeneration. We’re also at the climax of the trailered “the Doctor has joined the monks and Bill stands against him” plot, which is the hook this episode was previewed on since the initial Radio Times summaries.

And, of course, we’re at the halfway point of the climax of the ballyhooed “Monk Trilogy,” resolving fully three weeks of storytelling. What do we get, then? A scene in which a room full of people literally cracks up that we fell for any of it. It’s not, obviously, that I mind narrative substitution. I mean, I coined the phrase and all.

But the substitution has to actually mean something instead of just being an empty placeholder. The point of narrative substitution is that the second narrative critiques the first one. It’s not just chucking out a plot because you’re bored with it and laughing at the audience for .. There’s a new episode of Oi! Spaceman, in which I join Shana and Daniel to – for reasons that now elude me – talk about . HERE. And there’s a bonus mini- episode of Wrong With Authority, featuring myself in conversation with Daniel about the 2. David Fincher movie Zodiac.

HERE. We may do more of these (comparatively) short extra episodes in future, with just a couple of us chatting about a movie outside our main sequence. You can download it here. The Mestral is stunned, but not for long. Watch Ryde Online IMDB.

Rav implores that he only wants her “safe” (which the Mestral quite aptly reads as “tame”). He claims he's trying to protect her from the factions trying to assassinate and usurp her. But the Mestral sees right though his ploy- He's working for one of the other factions, and they're trying to use her own feelings of love and loyalty to cloud her judgment. And she can play the same game: Having directly threatened her, Rav must be arrested and tried, and the only way for him to escape sentence is to kill her. Which she knows he won't do, because he loves her.

The Mestral covertly opens an audio channel to the Enterprise, and, by cleverly rephrasing an exposition recap into a challenge (“You used that phaser on Venant, Rav, but you won't use it on me.. So you may as well put it away”), she manipulates Rav into revealing his plan to the Enterprise crew. He knows he can't shoot her and that she won't back down, so he and his co- conspirators are planning to kidnap her and bring her back to Eldalis where .. In this context, a joke about Georgia Madden’s shredding skin. It goes without saying that there is a strange unreality here, but this is presented very differently from how Hannibal usually proceeds.

It’s never before had to conjure a disposable POV character just to kill her off a few minutes later. Part of this is the peculiarities of Georgia Madden - she’s unsuitable to be a POV character herself, and there’s only one other choice.

But a more basic reason is that this is the opening of a horror movie, with Madden being positioned as something that comes at the show from an odd angle She doesn’t quite belong in this series.
