  The cliffhanger from the previous episode was good but the answer came as a bit of a cop-out. Nothing new there. But it does set up the episode well, going through the time stream of Dan, Vinda and Yaz. Good back stories.  The Doctor is trying to save her friends by forcing them through their past, making them relive unhappy moments that brought them all together. The decisions and the choices made that brought them into contact with the doctor in the first place.  The episode starts off with a new character with a great twist at the end. This is Bel, with a ton of internal dialogue. We learn that she is talking to someone and has a small machine that offers smiley faces and flying hearts.  Swarm is in this episode as well. And I still love his character. Who is the actor? Oh, Sam Spruell. Okay.  We also learn that Swarm t he skeletal alien was being held by a secretive Time Lord force known as the Division, which previously wiped the Doctor’s memory to hide h...

  The second episode of Season 12 of Doctor Who, is action packed, yet its rating is less than last week. Only 3.96 million viewers. That's shocking. I know people hate Jodie Whittaker as The Doctor and Chris Chibnall as 'showrunner'. I'm fine with Jodie as The Doctor, just wish the writing had been better from series 11 when Chiby took over. Good news though,  The Sontarans have inserted themselves into our history and taken over Russia and China. The Doctor is back in time (Crimean War-era Sevastopol)  and with Mary Seacole, she finds the Soltarans have built a massive fleet.  SIDE NOTE 1: Mary Seacole is a real person.  The Doctor tells an injured Soltarian to inform the leader that The Doctor is here, in this timeline. Their mortal enemy. The Doctor requests a parley ( To  parley  is to have a discussion, especially one between enemies or opposing sides) and the Soltarans agree.  Last week, we met Vinda a pilot assigned as  the sole ...

So, I heard Dr. Who was returning, and I pretty much didn't give a shit. Season 11 was boring and preachy, 12 was better but always carried that underline wokeness. The rating for this first episode was only 4.43 million. Not so great. It opens with the Doctor and Yaz dangling from a gravity bar flying through space (Space as in open air space). They escape and land in the TARDIS.  We meet Dan, an instantly likeable character who plans a date with possible GF. That plan gets messed up when he is hunted and captured by a humanoid dog. Part of a fleet of billions of space crafts, first thought to be invading Earth but not. Confronting the Doctor, the 'Dog' tells of The Flux. A thing that is destroying the universe. And a creature (I think death) has battled the doctor many times, but he has erased their encounters in her mind. He believes he has the upper advantage.  Not so much wokeness but actually a story there. It was a build up to the second episode. This was GOOD. I kno...

 I had no idea that each full moon had a name.  Tonight is the November full moon AKA Beaver moon. I will be hanging my jewelry (dangling from the windowsill) to recharge them. I do this monthly. I did miss last month as it was rainy. No moon power.  Here are the names for those interested.  I've heard a few of them before: Traditional Full Moon Names Wolf Moon – January Snow Moon – February Worm Moon – March Pink Moon – April Flower Moon – May Strawberry Moon – June Buck Moon – July Sturgeon Moon – August Harvest Moon – September or October Full Corn Moon (Harvest) – September Hunter's Moon (Harvest) – October Beaver Moon – November Cold Moon – December A week back, I took a photo showing a ring around the moon. It is meant to be good luck to see that (according to Japan) and for my birthday next month, I7m allowed to get a new MacBook Pro 13 inch! It works! I'll repost that image here for those who didn't see it in the original post.  I took this photo with Go...

I would wait in line for this phone. #elonmusk #tesla
