UFO on Blu-Ray!!!

And I won't be buying it!!!

Of course UFO one of my favorite TV shows of all time and I have been waiting patiently for a Blu-Ray release.  Show creator Gerry Anderson always emphasized great special effects, crisp visuals on his shows and UFO will no doubt look spectacular in high definition.  So here we have an ad for the Blu-Ray release -




Wait a minute, a Japanese release? Okay, well as long as you can turn off the subtitles, should be good -

Only $324?????  What?  Okay, so I will wait and hope that a UK and US release are soon to follow.

Doctor Who Book Review "Magic of the Angels"

The Doctor, Amy and Rory are taking in the sites of modern day London.  They are sightseeing on a double decker bus and The Doctor is adding his own two cents which promptly gets the threesome kicked off the tour bus.  They decide to see a magic act at a theatre.  In fact they go and see Sammy Star’s Amazing Magic Act.  Sammy Star’s act has a really good gimmick one that keeps packing the people in every night.  That is where everything goes wrong.  In fact the gimmick that Sammy Star is using is a Weeping Angel one of the deadliest creatures in the universe.

This is the newest addition to the Quick Reads Doctor Who line.  In fact this is the first book in the line that I have read.  For those who don’t know Quick Reads are books that are around 100 to 120 pages and are a really nice short story.  So far I have found them to be pretty cool and enjoyable.  Sometimes when you are busy, like me being a parent with an active kid, it is good to read something that isn’t complex and short.

With that said what did I think about Magic of Angels?  Well I really enjoyed it.  I really liked how the Weeping Angel was used.   To use it to make girls disappear in a magic act is pretty clever.  Especially that the Angel is chained up and can’t move.
Plus this book was fun.  It wasn’t complicated which at times is a good thing for a book especially a short story.  There is nothing worse than a complicated short story which makes you scratch your head. Plus the story made sense and was just a nice adventure for The Doctor, Amy and Rory to have.  It lived up to its name as a Quick Read as it didn’t take me long at all to read.  It was indeed quick.

So if you have a busy life, just don’t have time to read a long book or just looking for a story that is quick and easy to read then I recommend Magic of the Angels.  It is a well done and fun book to read that captures the feel of an 11th Doctor story and has a lot of good things going on also that will keep you guessing.

The Power of Three - A review by @cheezypeas (spoilers)

"You were the first. The first face this face saw and you were seared onto my hearts, Amelia Pond. I’m running to you and Rory before you fade from me.”

As we approach the climatic episode of the Pond's departure, the story lines of each episode appear to be increasingly focused on this, building the emotion and tension before the inevitable goodbye.

This penultimate episode encompasses this perfectly, with focus on a particular part the anatomy affiliated with emotion....

Doctor Who
The Power of Three
By Chris Chibnall

"Through the looking glass."


Here we are with the penultimate story with The Ponds before their big goodbye next week.  Well The Power of Three was the one story that we did not know much about while we knew quite a bit about the other four to make some good assumptions.  Finding out that Chris Chibnall wrote it I did have very strong reservations about The Power of Three and was hoping he would redeem himself from the second story this season, which he wrote, Dinosaurs on a Spaceship.  Yes, I was truly hoping for something far better than that abomination to one’s eyes and mind.  So read on to see what I thought of The Power of Three.

The Power of Three

Review by Ken Parker

So basically we have three filler episodes in between a Dalek story and the final Amy and Rory story. So far nothing to write home about. Could The Power of Three salvage a half season that so far has one excellent, on okay and one bad episode? We will assume the fifth story will have enough emotion in it to achieve a passing grade so it is up to the fourth story to make something happen.
