Doctor Who Review - Ascension of the Cybermen - Arts ( spoilers )

Doctor Who News: Reports  " Doctor Who, Ascension of the Cybermen, had an official rating of 4.99 million viewers, according to figures released by the Broadcasting Research Audience Board, BARB.  "

Lets Get Real:

This season of Doctor Who has been great, the last episode had it all, the Master at his most evil, to learn that the Doctor was the first Time Lord really drove him more nuts that before.  His plan to Upgrade the Cybermen in to Time Lord Cybermen was a neat idea, did he really keep the bodies of billions of dead Time Lords in the vault?   The usual argument between the Doctor and the Master was a great two hander, the Master leading the Doctor to learn that before our first Doctor, ( keep with me on this ) she has previous lives, and she was the one that allowed the Time Lords to renew when they died.  Let's not forget the Tardis family, they were stuck on an cyberman aircraft carrier, they had to dress up as cybermen to get off the ship and then fight the Cybermen, they fought well.  Then the went to the Doctor's home planet to rescue the Doctor from the Master.  The Doctor has to stay but sent his Tardis family home while she dealt with the Master.   How she gets out of that is a spoiler, and where she ends up is for next year.  The Doctor is BACK ON FORM. 

US Update 1 - US 2020 Presidential Election

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 9.30pm post the following, " Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg reportedly plan to endorse Biden at his Dallas rally tonight, presenting a message of unity to voters before tomorrow’s crucial Super Tuesday contests.  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus Biden won South Carolina with a 28% point victory over Senator Sanders, that has lead to Mayor Pete and Senator Klobuchar getting out of the race, as they could not see a way for them to win.  Thus the four main candidates are Former VP, Joe Biden, Mayor Bloomberg, who represent the moderates in the race, while the left is represented by Senator Sanders and Warren.  Today is Super Tuesday, 14 States vote for their nominee, it would be foolish to predict, with the departure of Klobucher and Mayor Pete the centre of the Democratic Party could move to support Biden, while the left will be split between Sanders and Warren.  On the moderate side will shall see what the four hundred million spent by Mayor Bloomberg get him, does get close to Biden, does he get any delegates, that should be known by this time tomorrow.  As for a foolish prediction, this blog would not be shocked to see Senator Sanders with hundreds of delegates, but also Biden, can Biden pass Sanders, that is an open question, will the Democrats have a contested convention, we shall find out. 

coronavirus Update 2 - UK plan 2 - Health

Daily Mail: Reports " 'Billion-pound' UK battle plan: Boris Johnson's dramatic coronavirus clampdown could see suspected sufferers DETAINED on entry as an 'army' of volunteer NHS workers is called up to treat 'mass epidemic'  "

Lets Get Real:

The UK economy could take a MAJOR HIT, also the US just before the Presidential Election.  The US/UK Governments so far have played it well, not going into panic mode, but being careful with their public comments.   That plaster will come off tomorrow, the UK and US must plan to close down air travel and sea travel, even CLOSE it borders, no one in or out.  That might be the most drastic action, millions could suffer the effects of the disease and some might die, the medical view is that 2% of the 100%of those that get the disease face that result, that could be hundred of thousands in the cold eye of day.  This is still no time to PANIC, the West got through the Spanish flu and medicine then was not up to the 21st Century standard.
