War of the Sontarans

 


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 occupant of a remote deep space outpost. He is transported to The Temple of Atropos on the planet called Time. The planet is in ruins (due to the Flux) and the temple with the guardians of time are dying. Swarm (correction on first post I called him Death) enters the temple and dispatches on of the dying guardians. There are also three Passengers. These Passengers can hold thousands of people. 

SIDE NOTE 2: Atropos was one of the three goddesses of three Fates. Also known as the Moirai, the three Fates were the goddesses of fate and destiny. They controlled the path that every mortal took in life. Read more about this here.

Swarm is deliciously evil. He totally rocks. His sister is in the background mostly. 


The British army takes on the Soltarans in a bloody battle. Guess who wins. With The Doctor on his side and Mary Seacole give information. They head to the Sonltaran camp. They are bugging out due to The Doctor beating them again. But General Logan reneges and bombs the camp. The Doctor is pissed off. 

In 2021, Dan whom the Flux transported back to London, manages to destroy the Sontaran fleet by crashing a ship into their fleet causing a massive explosion, blowing the shipyard up. 


Dan meets up with The Doctor and the TARDIS is highjacked and lands in the broken Temple of Atropos. Swarm is there with his sister and he has inserted Yaz and Vinda into the the positions of Guardians but as they are not Moirai and will be destroyed in seconds. 

The Doctor and Dan are forced to watch as Swam kills them. 


Episode ends. Cliffhanger.

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...

Lie in Deathworld - Update 1

My first ever crime thriller, which is looking for an agent, is now on hold of agent hunting. I ran it through pro writing aid and noticed a few fuck ups, that I kept missing. So, I hunted for an editor. Most are way out of my COVID-19 affected wallet. Luckily, I stumbled across a lady who edits for her own pleasure (I guess) and charges an agreeable amount. It's a proofread and should catch what I missed. That being said, not all edits are prefect and I'm going to need to go through it again. I've also redone the cover and adjusted the title. I'm looking for legacy publishing more than self publishing, but it's always nice to have a cover just for the hell of it. The covers were made using "Canva", as my old software Corel Paintshop Pro, no longer works for some reason. Also, Canva is pretty easy. Here's a canva aff link so we both can earn points for premium content.   https://www.canva.com/join/vpx-jdw-ycq   hahahaha.  Let me know which one you like...
