Doctor Who Series 9 Episode 3 Review – ‘Under the Lake’

by

Villordsutch reviews Doctor Who Series 9 Episode 3 – ‘Under the Lake’… Doctor: “Hello Sailors!” In this week’s Doctor Who we have a “Haunted House” scenario, this personally always makes me happy due the fact everyone is placed on the edge and the Doctor can either become the guiding light or the untrusted antagonist.  Here is […]

by

Villordsutch reviews Doctor Who Series 9 Episode 2, ‘The Witch’s Familiar’… Clara: “So the Androids think he’s dead and Doctor escapes?” Missy: “No he’s the Doctor.  He fell into a nest of vampire monkeys.” Vampire Monkeys: “Ook! Ook! Ook!” After last week’s rather brutal ending of the The Sorcerer’s Apprentice [review here], those of us that were wise enough to […]

by

Villordsutch reviews Doctor Who Series 9 Episode 1, ‘The Magician’s Apprentice’… The Doctor: “I try never to understand, it’s called an open mind” Finally! It feels like it has been far too long since Doctor Who was last on and now it returns to our television screens.  For what seems like more than the normal year away we – […]

Book Review – Better Late Than Never – Pixel Art from Andy Green

by

Villordsutch reviews Better Late Than Never – Pixel Art from Andy Green… Today, within the sphere of modern gaming, if a “Loading Screen” dares creep over twenty seconds or (Gods forbid!) twenty-five, then there’s a total Twitter-storm, an apology from the developers and a minor 10 gig patch to shave off a few life-stealing seconds.  […]

Back in the late 1980’s The Doctor (Sylvester McCoy) and Ace (Sophie Aldred) sped across Time and Space facing off against some of the Doctor’s greatest foes.  From the Daleks to the Cybermen in the early episodes and here – with this release – dragging the viewers into sheer horror with The Curse of Fenric […]

Star Trek: Voyager 25th Anniversary Special – Review

by

Villordsutch reviews Star Trek: Voyager – 25th Anniversary Special… Is it better to say Star Trek: Voyager is now twenty-five years old or that it’s a quarter of a century old?  What would make us feel a lot less older? Captain Janeway and her crew, aboard the USS Voyager, were flung into the Delta Quadrant […]

by

Villordsutch reviews Star Trek: Year Five: Valentine’s Day Special… The idea of bringing together Valentine’s Day and Star Trek may, like myself, fill you instantly with sickening dread.  When Star Trek: Year Five: Valentine’s Day Special was dropped through my virtual letterbox, with a love heart in the top left corner of the cover and both […]
