Doctor Who: The Legend of the Sea Devils (2022) Review

SPOILER FREE! I’m so sorry. So so sorry to have to say this… but this was the usual tsunami of Chibnall clichés. Remarkably cartoonish, with the usual two-dimensional characters spouting exposition disguised as dialogue, on cue like they’ve been given truth serums. It never seems to occur to Chibnall that his characters might not want

Doctor Who: Flux, “The Halloween Apocalypse” Review

Down-market Chewbacca and disco Skeletor? Chibnall gives us the trick rather than the treat for Halloween. The Doctor (Jodie Whitaker) returns in a special Halloween episode called “The Halloween Apocalypse,” a title which ironically covers all the bases—both derivative and bland while being an accurate description on multiple levels. Personally, I’d prefer the term “disaster”

Russell T. Davies Returning to Doctor Who May Not Necessarily Be a Good Thing

In recent weeks, Doctor Who fans have taken to dancing in the streets while celebrating the news that Russell T. Davies will be returning to the showrunner position for their beloved program. My first reaction, however, was… well, let’s just say, not so positive. Initially, I thought it was because my head was quickly filled

Potential Hardcover Edition of When Morpheus Overslept

This is the dust jacket for the forthcoming signed limited edition hardcover of When Morpheus Overslept. I’m thinking of selling these directly from my own website. Since demand for the book is soaring, I may do an original piece of illustration for the book and include a print on watercolor paper. The price would end

The Aliens of When Morpheus Overslept, Part 1 — The Ch’k li’ak

Humans were very surprised when they discovered that a sophisticated alien race had been hiding out in the region of Vega for so many centuries prior to their discovery in 2301, because, by then, many probes had been sent in that direction, each revealing uninhabitable worlds. The earliest efforts to explore the star system had

WHEN MORPHEUS OVERSLEPT is now available!

After a slight delay, publication day, February 15th, is complete. We’ll just say that publication “day” ran for 36 hours. Apparently, paperback books on Amazon KDP require a “special” and more expensive ISBN number. The alternative was to use a free Amazon KDP ISBN but that would have meant it could have only been published

The Science of When Morpheus Overslept (Update)

I had a great chat with Dr. Justin Ball of the Swiss Plasma Center at École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) last weekend. He provided some helpful updates to my speculative science in the previous “The Science of When Morpheus Overslept” installments. The takeaways from our talk were: 1. There are two types of gravitons:

“The Evolution of Graviton Drive” — The Science of When Morpheus Overslept, Part 2

In Part 2 of this series on the technology of When Morpheus Overslept, I will describe the way Graviton Drive was developed during the late 21st and early 22nd centuries, and this is indeed the meat of this topic since its use drives not only the spaceship in which the main characters travel but also
