New season of Dr Who starting tonight with a new companion in Peter Capaldi's last season as the Doctor. Also a Dr Who spin off premiering after Dr Who (Class).

From what I'm reading this season of Dr Who is a lead in to "Class".

Just started watching Dr. Who.  There's, I think, 10 seasons on Amazon Prime.  Pretty good so far.

Only 40 more years to go.  :silly:

The show almost didn't make it. The day the show first premiered just happened to be the day that JFK was assassinated and nobody watched it. Then the first actor who played the first Dr (William Hartnell) began having trouble remembering his lines due to arteriosclerosis.which gave the show the means to continue for 50 years.

I didn't care for Babylon 5 overall. I thought it was wildly overrated. But I did appreciate the fact that JMS had the whole thing planned out and didn't just make it up as he went along. And he ended it after 5 seasons.

I thought that "The Coming of Shadows" was quite good.

Everyone says that. But if you can make it to the end of Season 1 it starts picking up from there.

The Season 1 episodes to pay closest attention to are Episode 13 (Signs and Portents), Episodes 18 & 19 (A Voice in the Wilderness parts 1 & 2), Episode 20 (Babylon Squared), and Episode 22 (Chrysalis). There are other good episodes among those, but those are the ones really critical to the plot going onward.

From Season 2 on, there are fewer and fewer "filler" episodes and more "wham" episodes.

Mark Hamill says 'it's possible' Luke goes to dark side in 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi'

Michael Rothman
ABC News
April 14, 2017

Quote
Today, the first teaser for "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" dropped and the thing that stuck out for fans was Luke Skywalker's quote at the end that the "Jedi must end." ...

As for if Luke would ever turn to the dark side, [Hamill] said, "It's possible, anything's possible." ...

I'm not thrilled with the new companion.

The "Class" spinoff looks OK but I could have done without the gay thing so quickly. I also noticed the doctor was stopped dead by the name C. Oswald on the wall directory. He doesn't remember her but there is definitely something there.

And the brief musical notes near the end playing Clara's theme. They are keeping that line running for some reason.

Yeah. I have a feeling that Jenna Coleman will show up for the occasional single show to check up on the doctor.

She is effectively immortal as long as she doesn't return to the moment of her death and she's running around with Ashildr who is another immortal created by the Dr.

Not to mention she was scattered along all of the Doctor's time-stream to guide him, not just his past (Wibbly Wobbly) so it would only make sense that he is always running into clues, even if he doesn't recognize them because he wiped his  memory.

Apparently someone has regained control of the Nauvoo. Sounds like they're using it for Ganymede rescues.
