A note on DW on Disney: thus far....




 music is fine but if it's not adding to the narrative, it's not on a great footing and if it's not a good number, well choreographed and if the music and lyrics themselves suck...which is the case with Devil's Chord, then it's time to ....well, I think it's time for me to leave this now low quality show behind. I also don't like the messages of faithlessness and the cowardly ways it's being presented. You can also point out an issue without actually saying anything about it or presenting it in a solid, brave manner and DW is pointing out issues but they're not done in a meaningful manner, just sort of there all over the place in a narrative the doesn't hang together into a cohesive whole, nor feel at all as realistic as it could be given the lack of sci fi explanations, the total illogical stuff besides the lack of sci and the inclusion of magic---I mean snot monsters, an enemy that is just not there----not one of the soldiers questioned that? And more and more. DW is just not even trying any longer and RTD even admits it if you listen carefully. A Moffat who never knew the Doctor to begin with and who sees him as a space time event and kills off and brings back companions, an RTD who is giving excuses not to write sci fi, and a star who spouts inane woke messages without any real validity to them (woke is fine but with some logic and truth and facts to back them up) and scripts that do not set up as believable a world or story as possible means it's time for me to back off this now terrible "show". RTD burned out a long time ago on DW and never really had the sci down in his sci fi show, Moffat should never be allowed near DW again ever and Ncuti was a good Doctor (but not in Boom where he came across as a total phony --the Doctor I mean and a fake unconvincing performance) should keep his big mouth shut unless he has something truthful to say that he can back up with facts. Otherwise, just give me a good to great (every DW should be great in some way and even THE CHASE, LOVE AND MONSTERS, and others that have bad reps are pretty good in some way) story and characters who do not believe that killing babies is a better way and I'll be there every time. Sadly, RTD and Moffat are unable to this on a consistent basis (Moffat never could) and until they go, I think I'm out. I don't want to hear from people who know less about real life than I do giving me messages that are untrue and false premises that they have to force down our throats without any back up, any real story or thought behind them. I'm willing to hear others' POV but not like this. Good bye fan boy hacks.

LOST IN SPACE-the two unaired pilots NO PLACE TO HIDE

Image
  NOTE: Since both unaired pilots are inferior to THE RELUCTANT STOWAWAY, THE DERELICT, ISLAND IN THE SKY, THERE WERE GIANTS IN THE EARTH, and THE HUNGRY SEA, I have decided to put both unaired pilots after these five episodes--since these used stock footage from both pilots---as for readers to be able to compare the unaired pilots to the much better versions seen in the episodes. Both pilots are important, however, because they give us some background not given in the aired episodes. There is less development of characters and situations, however in these unaired pilots.      UNAIRED PILOT NUMBER ONE The Jupiter II was originally called the Gemini 12 and could travel at 18412 miles per hour. The TV man commentator is the narrator, not Dick Tufeld. The countdown is started in this story at 6 minutes and 40 seconds. The credits start right away with DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL music. The Robinsons will stay in their suspended animation slumber for 98 years. Alpha Control mentions th

LOST IN SPACE-THERE WERE GIANTS IN THE EARTH

  THERE WERE GIANTS IN THE EARTH TELEPLAY-CAREY WILBUR STORY--SIMON WINCELBERG DIR-LEO PENN MUSIC-HERMAN STEIN, BERNARD HERRMAN   NARRATION: Last week as you REMEMBER, Will had slipped away from the spaceship to try and repair the Chariot, unaware that the renegade Robot, programmed to obey only Dr. Smith's voice orders, was loose in the area.   TEASER-fully recapped   Will is in the Chariot as the camera pans across it. He is cold and not having much success at fixing the land vehicle. He guesses he was wrong about it. "I gotta get back to the ship. What?"   He sees the Robot coming over a hill. He goes out, "I wanna talk to you about the way you ran off."    Robot repeats Smith's orders, "When unessential personnel are found alone, destroy."   He blasts a tree and moves closer to Will. Will climbs up the Chariot, "Go back, do you hear me? Go..go back. Go back." He repeats this several times. Robot fires electric betw

DOCTOR WHO: THE STAR BEAST

  DOCTOR WHO: THE STAR BEAST "I hate that."   Okay, the opening is pure RTD DW and it’s not bad. The one thing I can say that makes Donna look stupid is giving all her money away so her husband can keep working. What a dope. He says it was for charity and who knows if charities are really on the up and up and all that money went where it should go. The humor is again, as in most of RTD, from the circumstances and the character relationships and so far, it doesn’t jar or unbalance the plot or the viewers. Nice start.   Donna is stupid. You can’t help others if you can’t help yourself.   And…yawn. UNIT. UFO news report. Yawn. Boring.   In a few short bursts of dialog, RTD makes it so that we instantly relike Donna, this Doctor, and Sylvia. And through Donna, her husband and Sylvia’s dialog, like this new Rose to boot. He’s a master at getting us to like these characters, creating realistic characters, and at making the dialog natural and realistic. Was I foolish
