Trips and Videos

by

In a couple weeks, we’ll be in Taiwan. I’ve upgraded (or downgraded, depending on how you look at it) all our travel video gear. This year, in addition to digital cameras and phones that can record video, we’ll be carrying two different mini-HD cameras. Chu-Wan has a “Flip MinoHD Camcorder, 60 Minutes (Black)” (Flip Video) … Read more

Doctor Who – Review – Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone – Spoilers

by

We’ve heading into uncharted territory now. Historically, I’ve reviewed most new Doctor Who episodes right here on the blog, but now that we’re doing the Fusion Patrol Podcast, I’ve been letting it slip. The fact is, we’re not really doing reviews at the podcast. I’ve likened to a book club discussion, although, not having attended … Read more

Doctor Who – The Beast Below – Review – Spoilers

by

“Say, ‘Whee!’” – the Doctor I’ll skip the usual synopsis/analysis section and cut right to the bone: this was another fine episode of Doctor Who.

From Behind the Sofa – Return of the Fan****king Yeah, I welled up. Incredibly, I was still crying when I noticed that the glass doors weren’t even sealed. … Read more

Waters of Mars

Torchwood – Who are the monsters? (Er, Children of Earth) review, spoilers

by

I loathe Torchwood. It is the Slitheen of the Doctor Who universe… oh, wait, the Slitheen are the Slitheen of the Doctor Who universe. In that case, Torchwood are the fart jokes of the Doctor Who universe – crude, boorish and juvenile. (While, at the same time, attempting to be all grown-up. “See, I can … Read more
