Lets Get Real:
This episode was simpler to understand than last week, you would need a degree to understand last week's show, in Village of the Angels there were two times zones, there was 1967 and 1901. The Doctor arrived in 1967 after getting rid of the Weeping Angel that had take over the TARDIS. When the Doctor opened the door, she found a man and woman on the Tardis phone, IF I recall it should work, the 9th Doctor used it, this time it didn't work, the couple were phoning the police to help in their search for their grand daughter, this is were the Tardis Fam split, Dan and Yaz went to help the couple, while the Doctor followed the sonic screw driver that was going nuts, the Doctor found that it lead to Claire, it came out that she has seen a weeping angel and had been thrown back in time to 1967, she was helping in science experiment, the Doctor, Clair and the Professor in his house came under attack by Weeping Angels, the Angels just want you to blink, the Doctor and the Professor fought the Angels, while Clair disclosed that she was becoming a Angel. The Doctor found a way out, a secret tunnel, the Professor got out but the Doctor blinked but was not taken by a Angel, this made the Doctor curious, as before the Angels attacked the Doctor had done a mind link with Clair and found out that a Angel was in her mind, and that the Weeping Angels were part of the Time Lord Division, while the Doctor fought the Angels, Dan and Yaz were also attacked by a Weeping Angel, they were thrown back to 1901, the village was empty, the people had been taken by the Angels, the young girl lost had be send to 1901 ( Is it this blog, or is the village used was the same one in War of the Worlds also done by the BBC ) At the end of the show, the Doctor was stuck in 1967, while the Tardis fam was stuck in 1901. The Doctor was made in to Weeping Angel, as she was being recalled by Division and the Tardis fam was stuck in the past with no help from the Doctor. It was revealed at the end, that the OLD Lady who had come to warn the village was the actual young girl, thus history was shown that the poor girl was left in 1901, while the Tardis Fam had other adventures, that is for next week. Thus will the Doctor life, will the Time Lords come back, is Division in the past or present or future? A greats show next week.
As to the fall in the viewing figures, last week's show did not help, it was confusing and needed a tighter hold on the story, and more simple format, even this blog got lost sometimes, this weeks show was fantastic, it was simple to understand and reminded one of the Doctor Who Classic shows. Keep up the good work Doctor Who Team, tighter stories please, and not needing a degree in physics or being Sheldon Cooper!!
No Time To Die
This was a classic film, it was long and even complicated for James Bond, as this blog is a sci fi nerd it understood about nanobots, small man made made creatures that are being used in modern health, no one has weaponised it in the real world, with the exception one would guess of the MOSAD. In this adventure we found Command Bond had given up his 007 Licence had settled down, of course that did not last, his female partner wanted him to forgive Vespa, from the first Daniel Craig movie. As Bond looked at her tomb he was blown up, then the adventure started, it seems that another woman had betrayed Bond, thus he ditched her at the station and went back to live on a beach. Before all this he took out some bandies with his Aston Martin. Bond was hired by the CIA, as a favour for an old friend, Bond was back at work. Thus we come to nanobots, it seems that the original idea came from M at the MI6, but things had gone wrong, now another big bad had gotten his hands on them. After this it would be all spoilers. Thus Bond found himself in a cave on a Island ( that is classic Bond ) going after the enemy, before that he found his partner and his child, while they escaped, Bond made sure that the lethal Bots were destroyed, to do this he has to open the cave for the missiles to hit, before he did this, he finished off the enemy, but not before the enemy had infected him with the lethal bots, thus making sure he could never kiss his partner or hold his child, also he has been shot by the enemy and was in BAD SHAPET, the rockets hit and Command Bond 0007 meet his END.
YES 007 is no more, well not in till they select a new Bond or do something to explain how Bond did not die, it was pretty clear cut, no escape hatch, no rescue mission was shown at the end. They might just do the next movie without bothering to explain, leaving it up to the audience to work it out, and people will be trying to work out till the next movie, it will be like when Sherlock died, ages of print pages on how Holmes did not die when falling from a rooftop building. OF course they have to have an answer, the Producers one would think before they did this movie thought of a WAY OUT for Bond, the UK has lost the Empire, we can not lose Commander James Bond 007, he shows us fighting above our weight.
