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.

What's in a name?

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...
