From MadCap's Couch - Supernatural: "Long-Distance Call"

I fear how many slash fics have been written about this screenshot alone...

I like how this episode isn't a gigantic and terrible Ghost Hunters-knockoff and we're back to true form.

...I might still be a bit salty from last week.

"Doctor, I-"

"Yeah."

The two sat there, the last two of their respective races. The last of the Trakenites and the last of the Time Lords.

Leave it to Dean to effectively communicate my reaction to the episode.

Okay, so we're here... let's get this over with.

MadCap's Reel Thoughts - "Star Trek" (2009)

So, for seven years after we said goodbye to the crew of The Next Generation, the Star Trek franchise languished... in the movies, at least. On television, Star Trek: Enterprise was still going... or Enterprise as it was called, then. Rather than being in the same time period with its contemporaries like Deep Space Nine or Voyager, Executive Producer Rick Berman decided in his infinite Jeri Ryan-strangling wisdom to set a new series in the past rather than the present.

Yep! It was prequel time! Because that worked so well for George Lucas.

Enterprise is a discussion for another day. Needless to say, with the cancellation of that show, the Star Trek franchise had nothing new. No new movies, no new series. Nothing. This doesn't seem so strange until you realize that The Next Generation debuted in 1987, meaning that Star Trek had been on television in one form or another for eighteen years! If you go with the movies, even longer than that, given that something involving Star Trek had been in production or released fairly consistently since 1979, and now there was... nothing. Paramount decided to fix that problem and tasked Berman with getting the job done. After a great deal of issues between CBS and Paramount that I don't have the time, patience, or inclination to get into here, they got a hold of Alex Kurtzman, Robert Orci, and JJ Abrams.

This has made a lot of people very angry and has widely regarded as a bad move.

MadCap's Fiction Corner - Doctor Who: "Chalybe Panacea" (Chapter One)

"Alert: TARDIS materializing..."

"Look sharp!" The Commander barked to his men, who quickly moved to arm themselves as per protocol. Laser rifles taken to hand, locked, and loaded as their booted feet trampled against the metallic flooring toward the target zone. The scanners built into their combat suits were tracking the build up of artron radiation, a clear indicator that they had all come to know of the arrival of one of the combatants of the Time War... or more of them, a reality that they had dreaded highly for some time. The Commander had no intention of letting Lister Station be caught in a war zone.

What If... the Doctor remained Time Lord Victorious? (Part 11)

Last time, we left a gaggle of Doctors (and one reformed Master) and companions trapped in three conjoined TARDISes, a (more) sinister version of the Seventh Doctor and Missy attempting to break the safeguards put on the Key to Reality by Susan's Doctor (resembling the First Doctor of the main timeline), The Doctor from the Empire of the Wolf universe learned what had happened to the Adam Mitchell from the War Master's universe, and - to top it all off - the Black Guardian and the Chronarch went to war against each other for all the marbles.

Bad news, right? Let's continue the story!

"Man, those demons are going to break in here and kill everyone! Too bad we're in jail."

Finally time to pick up the myth arc once again, though not in a direct or straightforward way as we've seen from Supernatural (and will be seeing more of it in the future). Before we get into that, let's look into Supernatural taking on Assault on Precinct 13.

Yep. It's a siege story! I love these things!

What If... the Doctor remained Time Lord Victorious? (Part 10)

Last time, the Doctors working under the White Guardian had managed to acquire the five pieces of the Key to Reality. Captain Jack Harkness from the Wolfverse has the sixth, and has teleported away to parts unknown. The Chaos Doctor and Missy were imprisoned by the Doctors and the Chronarch found himself at the mercy of the Great Intelligence. Things are spinning out, and we seem to be heading toward the final battle for the fate of reality itself!

What's gonna happen next?!

"Well, it's Tuesday... again..."

Following on from last time, the boys had the Colt stolen from them by Bela... and now, for something completely different.

MadCap's Reel Thoughts - "Star Trek: Nemesis" (2002)

So, Wrath of Khan is a phenomenally good movie.

This is a movie that would like to be that.

It fails.

And it fails hard.

This is the final outing for the Next Generation crew (in movies anyway), and this is definitely not ending with a bang, but a whimper. Let's get into it...

What If... the Doctor remained Time Lord Victorious? (Part 9)

Happy Birthday to me!

Hey, everybody! Been a while, hasn't it? Last time... look, a bunch of things happened and it turned into a massive cluster. Honestly, if it didn't, this wouldn't be a Doctor Who story, but let me try to sum up as best I can.

From MadCap's Couch - Supernatural: "Dream a Little Dream of Me"

"What's wrong, Sam?"
"My Friday the 13th movie won't get a sequel..."

Oh, right... I was supposed to finish up Season 3. Whoops!

MadCap's Reel Thoughts - "Star Trek: Insurrection" (1998)

Happy New Year! I put this off as long as I could, but now it's 2023 (or at least it will be by the time that anybody besides me is reading this) and I think it's time to finish up the Next Generation films. Luckily, we only have two left.

Unfortunately, they both suck. A lot.
