SPACE: 1999-THE BRINGERS OF WONDER parts one and two













 SPACE: 1999-THE BRINGERS OF WONDER parts one and two


Watched both eps of THE BRINGERS OF WONDER of SPACE: 1999 and you know what, though I know it almost line for line, it was still entertaining as ever, moved along nicely, and did what was said to be done for year two: made everyone warmer, nicer, friendlier, and happier and it all works. Sure, there are one or two cringe moments and flaws I'm sure but overall, it was a lively excursion into year two with some of the strangest monsters, a good guest cast, something for Alan to do and a good part for just about everyone. I love it and always will! From Koenig's slap happy crash landing to the end where Maya playfully picks up Tony to John's falling asleep, this was a joyful, fun and exciting episode. Not sure I like Tony's immediate response being, "KILL THEM!" though. I mean just because they look repulsive? I guess it's like an instinctive reaction, maybe some race memory like seeing a snake or spider. Wish some more thought went into, "Are they friendly?" Though at one point, John considers giving them the nuclear waste dumps, which is, for once, a clever piece of writing for year two.

DOCTOR WHO-BOOM spoilers

  DOCTOR WHO-BOOM  spoilers Hmmm. Let’s see. SWAT is looking really great tonight. High stakes, intrapersonal relationship issues, huge action, realistic people and characters, and followed by FIRE COUNTRY and then the always excellent BLUE BLOOD.   After last week’s two episode disaster, if this week’s DOCTOR WHO is awful, I have some tough choices to make about giving up on 2024 DOCTOR WHO and a character I’ve followed for five decades (and not just on TV: in comics, books, audios, and role playing) and an actor I really admire and love. Let’s see if this is written by RTD if I should go into it wary. Oh, wait, this is Moffat’s? Gosh, hell naw.   Okay, it looked more serious and I can’t deal with the 6 minute to 8 minute of advertising on watching live TV so I guess I’ll give this torturous Doctor Who show another go, another try. If it’s bad, it will hurt. It will hurt giving up a show that once gave me so much gratification. Please, be good. Is that t...

Things new DOCTOR WHO fans think that are sort of wrong and my response to the TEN MISTAKES video. What and why do new fans think these things?

 Here is my response to a video "THE TEN MISTAKES OF DOCTOR WHO by show runners who admit them" or something like that. Good editing on the video but this lady and her mistakes irk me. She seems to think that Time Lord is something that was always a part of DOCTOR WHO> it was not. Regeneration, 12 lives, the planet Gallifrey, two hearts, and most of the current things most fans think are and have always been a part of Doctor Who most didn't start until SIX years after the show began and a majority didn't start until the 11th season, 11 YEARS IN. New fans need to get their history right.  First more history:  At first, the Doctor wasn't touted as a Time Lord or even an alien. Nor was Susan. Sort of. The first "regeneration" wasn't called that. It was called a rejuvenation, suggesting Troughton was a younger Hartnell.  The second "regeneration" was just a forced change by the Time Lords who made the Doctor change his appearance. Neither of...

  UNNATURAL HISTORY Unnatural History: The Most Underrated Cartoon Network Show That's Been Forgotten Story by Liam Gaughan   Cartoon Network is responsible for airing some of the greatest animated programs in recent memory, such as Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Courage The Cowardly Dog, Adventure Time, Teen Titans, The Power Puff Girls, Regular Show, and Johnny Bravo. However, the network ventured into live-action programming in 2010 with Unnatural History.   The adventure series combined influences such as Indiana Jones, The Mummy, and National Treasure for a show that combined humor, suspense, historical lessons, and lots of action for young adult viewers. Unnatural History was created by Mike Werb, who also wrote both Face/Off and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. The series follows the teenager Henry Griffin (Kevin G. Schmidt), who has been traveling the globe with his archeologist parents for his entire life. However, Henry is told at the beginning of the series t...
