That kind of cash really makes me wonder/worry about a Disney baleful influence on the show.

There’s really no excuse not to end the “recover Eden” subplot really soon at this point. Which of course means they’ll probably excruciatingly strrrrrrrrrretch it out over at least the next 7 episodes.

Rats! Another day, another episode of Angelina not being shot in the head.

Given Zeke’s reaction after touching the Chinese guy I wonder if he’s turning into something like the title character in ST:TOS’s “The Empath” episode.

That was the first episode that really seemed something like an old-school episode. Thumbs-up! I think overall it's been improving, though I still think it was a HORRIBLE idea for love interest to be the hologram, especially with such a meh actress. 2+ month mid-season hiatus sucks, though. I wonder how badly that's gonna hammer ratings as people find other things to watch and don't come back.

Welcome to Chibnall Stupidity and Inconsistency! Though I suppose one could fanwank it by saying that since Tecteun extracted and used the Child's DNA that future Time Lords who had the DNA put into them as embryos grew a second heart, and then since they already had that DNA incorporated that their kids would also have two hearts, etc.

"The Boogieman" (season 3)?

Yeah - how much time have episodes lost since the late 80s/early 90s? Eps are down to what, 40 minutes now? Was it 45 back then?

A broken Rutherford visor drifting in space in the Kylla(sp?) System and then getting hit with a green salvage tractor beam. And then it blinks on and you see an angry Badgey.

The Aledo control console in Buenamigo's office was a redo of the M5's console from The Ultimate Computer, right? Also -- Les Buenamigo -- they were telling us all along! 🤣

The jock is definitely dead. We see the opening rift cut him clean in half.

Sounds like exclusively streamed everywhere in the world other than the UK and Ireland. (Or maybe only in non-UK, non-Ireland countries where D+ is available?). But D+ is definitely saying they have the exclusive rights to the Nov 2023 and beyond episodes outside the UK and Ireland.

According to Radio Times: (Though the BBC will still be the exclusive linear access & streaming home in the UK and Ireland.)

The "new" :) logo: Also, in the US, the Nov 2023 specials and beyond will be exclusively available on Disney+. BBC America is out. Finally (and probably old hat, just not to me), the BBC is no longer producing the show. While they will continue to own all the IP, the production of the show has essentially been contracted out to RTD's Bad Wolf production company.

It's pretty clear that's what happened in the 50th Anniversary special with The Curator.

You can find it on YT now. (It's only about 17 seconds._

10/10 for the nostalgia/fan service, especially the chats between Tegan and Five and between Ace and Seven. 2/10 for the incoherent plot So maybe a 6 overall?

After The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot (which I wish was available on disc or a streamer) it was great to see Davison, Baker, and McCoy actually in a special.

https://trekmovie.com/2022/10/18/anson-mount-says-star-trek-strange-new-worlds-season-2-pushes-the-limits-of-the-genre/ Not sure what I think of this. Could be good, but could be pretty bad. Especially since they had such a great balance of things in season 1.

Which is well worth the watch.

We needed Buenamigo to address Freeman as Capt. Dunsel 😎 Say, so are Peanut Hamper and AGIMUS gonna get their hands on one of those ships? Gonna give Commodore (Admiral, Ret.?) Wesley PTSD flashbacks....

The Elves didn't wear their rings while Sauron held the One. They only "took them up again" (to use Tolkien's words) after the One was lost.

Gorgeous scenery! But a very boring leg. Only a roadblock and a detour?? And all three possible tasks were total yawners. They may have scrambled placement but were so boring to watch.

Continental French beignets often are, though.

I would have thought this would be where an Evil Leaper would show up, especially given the episode description :). But then I figured there would be no Evil Leapers in modern QL. But then after this Monday's episode I'm not so sure...
