The Return of the Master

by

The first Doctor Who DVD release of 2007 will be the The Return of the Master three-disc boxset.

It will comprise The Keeper of Traken, Logopolis and Castrovalva – adventures that saw both the return of the Doctor’s arch-enemy and the transition from Tom Baker’s Doctor to Peter Davison’s.

Prepare for not one but two new companions, killer statues, the slow destruction of the Universe, cunning disguises, big beards, recursive occlusion and stick-on celery. What a combination!

Long before blogs – a postscript

by

Well, I posted the journal entries for my 10 day 1998 trip to Taiwan, and, not too surprisingly, they now reside at the very beginning of my blog database, and can only be seen by looking back at the archive for May 1998.As far as I can tell, they don’t even show up in the RSS feeds.In a way, it was like a re-release of a movie. I got to correct a few spelling and gramatical errors.

Long Before Blogs…

by

Long before blogging software existing, people had things called diaries or journals. Back in 1998, I began keeping a journal of my overseas trips.My my sincere apologies to my regular readers, I am going to be posting those old entries into this blog, appropriately backdated, and with some current annotations.

Trek Soundtracks

by

Speaking of Star Trek soundtracks…While I think all the new Star Trek series failed miserably on their soundtracks (dull, uninteresting and completely understated) the original series soundtrack was really first class.While looking to see if the re-mastered Trek series soundtracks were available, I discovered that 2 of my favorite CDs are still available through Amazon. (One is actually in stock, the other can be ordered through their associates program.)
