Halloween Apocalypse

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 know, woke Dr. Who was really good.

And look who is back:

Not sure what they have to do with the story, or the girl the statue is chasing. I heard this short series was one story. First time, ever they said. Not true. The remember Bad Wolf, The War Doctor, and McCoy as the doc, Baker too. They mostly had four part or six part stories.

If I'm wrong, tell me in the comments.

Pen Names

Hello all, I'm debating on whether or not to us a pen name for my crime novels. You see, way back in 2001 when I made my first sale, I used the name Richard Lee ( http://threeand10.com ). In 2009 a publisher of my second novel, The Last Church convinced me to use my real name. Although I announced the name change to my massive Ning group, MySpace and Twitter, not a lot of people took notice and The Last Church didn't sell as well as it should have with the Richard Lee brand. I had no idea about branding back then. Now, I do. In 2015, I returned to write under the Richard Lee brand and some comments I got were: I wondered what happened to you. Welcome back, Dude. Missed you. Are you still writing? etc. My books now sell in several languages. Richard Lee wrote horror and science fiction (usually blended together). Now that I'm writing crime, ( http://www.thriller.nz ) I decided to switch to my real name, and start crime fiction branding (no idea how to do that). But, now I...
