Top 20 Big Finish 'Doctor Who' Sixth Doctor Releases
It has been 20 years since Big Finish Productions released The Sirens of Time, the very first of their long-running range of Doctor Who audio dramas. Since then, they have released audio adventures every month, featuring one of the actors to have played the Doctor on TV. In this special list, I'm taking a look back at some of the strongest audio adventures to feature the Sixth Doctor, as played on TV by Colin Baker. We begin with:

Arrows and Roses - Chapter 15
The next day, Thanatos passed his work on to another reaper who took it without protest. But he did smile at his boss and say, “It’s about time you went out and enjoyed yourself.” Thanatos wanted to frown, but another reaper piped up, agreeing with her co-worker.

Water Signs (September Energy Readings)
Hello my fellow water babies, we meet again (Cancer moon here) with the details. I'm proud of some of us for walking away from situations that literally were dead weight, or something we kept for the sake of our own comforts. This was a situation we knew would continue to backfire on us in the long run, but because we were so passionate about whatever it was, or so certain of the decision in the beginning, we spent most of August trapped in a lost loop, hoping to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Leo season did help give us that push to make a bold move, and step from behind the dotted line and into the playing field that is the "big bad world." We instantly saw that it wasn't so bad at all to make that move, and actually, that one thing we were afraid to do a few months back, wasn't so scary after all. Go figure.

'Dark Angel'
During the turn of the millennium, I enjoyed a brand new sci-fi series on the Fox TV Network created by James Cameron. It was his first foray into sci-fi TV after his successes in making blockbuster movies. The series was also co-produced by Charles H. Eglee and was the only TV show they produced together. The series is a dystopian cyberpunk science fiction show set in Seattle, WA, nearly twenty years in what was then the future. The plot centers around a young woman named Max who works as a bike messenger while trying to survive the chaotic world the US has become after a terrorist attack rendered American society into the status of a Third World country. The show premiered on Fox TV on October 3, 2000, and ended on May 3, 2002. The series consisted of 43 episodes which included a pilot episode. The show was shot entirely at Lionsgate Studios in Vancouver BC, Canada.

Earth Signs (September Energy Readings)
Pretty tired? I know exactly why. A lot of you really do live up to that perfectionist mentality and it doesn't even have to manifest through arrogance, no, you see it manifests as you constantly tearing yourself down internally because you know you need to let go of some baggage but then you see someone who reflects these qualities, and like an automatic switch, you start to tear them down and want them to be perfect, but you have come to realize that the worldly definition of "perfection" is not something that is attainable. Good. I know a lot of you had to tidy up things coming into September and out of August, and it may not have been the most fun month for you because you found yourself to be disappointed that things weren't working out in your favor.

Alex The Inventor - Chapter 12 (Part 4)
Chapter 12 (Part 4) - The Menace Found... Alex trudged through the darkness, deep in thought, musing about his two wayward mechanical companions. He had never considered Legs or Big Ben his friends—at least not in the human sense—and yet... he still cared for and worried about them. Alex sighed and shook his head at the paradox and drew his collar up to ward off the chill night breeze. Hopefully the two oddly-behaving robots hadn't travelled very far, and his walk would be a short one. That old Ben was alive again was a miracle, but that he took off under his own power to do God knows what was an absolutely fascinating mystery that Alex had to find an answer to. The wind blew more sharply against his face as the boy picked his way through the shadows—the weak beam of his flashlight a mere candle flame beneath the over-arching night-world. The path the two robots made was deep and still fresh in the dry dirt, and so Alex followed. Wending this way and that, crookedly among the piles of scrap, the robots' tracks seemed to be headed toward a now-familiar area of the scrapyard:

Doctor Who
The Philosophy of Who Doctor Who is associated with many things. Rubber monsters, wobbly sets and, in more recent years, romance and high octane action. Something it often isn’t credited for, however, is the wealth of insightful and moving reflections it contains on both the human condition and nature of all things.

20 Years Out, Does 'The Matrix' Still Have You?
I don't remember the first time I saw The Matrix, but 10-year-old me was entirely too young to have seen it in theaters in 1999. I didn't get my hands on it until a few years later, in the midst of junior high. I coerced my mom into renting the VHS for me from Blockbuster so many times that we accrued a late fee or two because I kept my hands on it for so long.

Why You Should Choose Eco-Friendly Clothing and Cosmetics
This world is in trouble, and it has been for quite some time now. Rainforests are burning, polar ice caps are melting, and the temperatures are rising increasingly. And while we’re worried about how things will play out, and what the destiny of this planet and mankind will be, we still live our lives. After all, no matter what goes on around us, we still have to get dressed in the morning and maintain our personal hygiene. But, what if by doing exactly those things we’re harming the environment further? This is why it’s essential to reconsider our choices and turn to eco-friendly clothing and cosmetic products. Here are some reasons why—and ways how—to choose clothes and cosmetics which are more natural and sustainable.
