Doctor Who Timeline

Who cares about the Star Wars prequels?
No one? Good.
Anyway, here's an interesting Doctor Who Timeline I came across (and decided to share with you):

Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace


                And so it begins.

   >Deep Breath<

   *Siiiiiiiiiiiggggghhh*

                So, the title crawl:

   War! Oh, sorry. Wrong one.

                Okay, okay. I’ll stop procrastinating, but can you really blame me? You can? Well, I don’t care what you think.

                According to the title crawl, there is trouble in the Republic on account of taxation of trade routes. People apparently hate it. So, the Trade Federation acts calmly and rationally about it and—blockades the planet of Naboo with deadly battleships!?

 


                Well, the Federation IS run by aliens; I’m sure the humans will act much more reasonably.

Star Wars: Introduction


               I hereby start my long review saga. It will cover all six Star Wars films. Why include the original trilogy? Because, for one thing, no movie is perfect, and also for completion’s sake. And to complain just like everyone else about the CGI additions.

                I wish George Lucas were CGI.

From the Dust Returned External Continuity

*SPOILERS*

There is so much to talk about.

To start with, A Thousand Times Great Grandmère is often called the Dust Witch. Maybe Timothy should think twice about listening to her...

Okay, maybe it's not a big deal. Obviously she's not Madamoiselle Tarot or the time travelling tattoo artist. Moving on...

In "Make Haste to Live" the character of Angelina Marguerite is a Time Lady. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it. The evidence is that she is unfathomably old, she gets younger-looking all the time, and at one point is called a "daughter of time".

The Secret of Lost in Space




Here is a short, fun post. Don't take it too seriously.

Unless you want to, of course.

I have recently made a major discovery:

The Illustrated Man Part 1: Review

            The The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury will be an interesting place to start. This book is full of short stories surrounded by a frame story involving the titular character.

The book begins when the unnamed narrator first meets the Illustrated Man. They are both on their own journeys and, since they’ve met in the same place, decide to keep each other company for the night. The Illustrated Man removes his shirt to reveal tattoos covering his whole body. He says he can feel them moving.
