Doctor Who: The Companion Chronicles: Return of the Rocket Men Review
One of the breakaway hits of the Companion Chronicles series was John Dorney's "The Rocket Men", a powerfully emotional tale that introduced a brand new foe for the Doctor in the form of the Rocket Men. The jetpack-wielding pirates were a surprise hit with listeners, as was the story's emotional content, and a sequel was quickly developed. Now with a new writer and a new companion, however, could this sequel capture the same magic as the original, while still offering listeners something new and fresh? In a word - yes. Emphatically. "Return of the Rocket Men" is a perfect sequel, in that it recaptures what you loved about "The Rocket Men", but it also offers a completely new take on what made it a success. It makes, therefore, for a sequel that won't leave you disappointed, no matter what your expectations are for this story.

The 10 best TV shows of 2022 so far
Stranger Things 4 In the new season of Stranger Things, the show goes full horror: its kid protagonists are growing up, and the show is maturing with them, with some absolutely frightening results. This time around, they're fighting a monster called Vecna, who has a unique way of tormenting his victims by preying on their worst fears. As it's the penultimate series, the Netflix blockbuster has begun to wrap up the plot, tying up threads and giving fans some long-awaited answers. One of the best things about this season is how it balances the everyday trauma of being a teenager with that caused by the terrifying otherworldly forces that exist in Hawkins, intertwining its central sci-fi storyline with the minutiae of its characters' everyday lives. Among its enormous ensemble cast, Sadie Sink as the grief-stricken Max gives perhaps the standout performance of this series so far, while her castmate and the show's ostensible lead, Millie Bobby Brown, continues to impress as the tormented, superpowered Eleven. It may be much bigger in budget and scale than when it started, but Stranger Things has kept its core appeal, as a fun but terrifying 1980s time capsule that keeps you on the edge of your sofa. (AC)

House of the Dragon
The first season of House of the Dragon starts to come to a close and the fanbase has firmly planted themselves in team black or team green. Now how anyone could be team green is beyond me and I genuinely think that if you are on Alicent’s side in all this you need psychological help. But here we are ready to watch Rhaenyra and Deamon take their rightful places….here we go.

'House Of The Dragon': Why It Is Customary For Taragaryens To Inter-Marry
WARNING: SPOILERS for House of the Dragon 1x07. Sometimes, the rules of Westeros can be confusing. While in Game of Thrones, the incestuous love story of Jaime and Cersei Lannister would have meant their deaths had it become common knowledge, the most recent prequel series House of the Dragon has Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen marrying her Uncle, Prince Daemon, and Rhaenyra's half-siblings Aegon and Helaena betrothed to each other, without anyone batting an eye.

KINDRED IS COMING
-the photo above is the first look photo (that I got from Variety) Octavia E. Butler's Kindred was one of the only books in high school I could be not only bothered to read fully (I became real "anti being forced to read a specific book" in hs), but actually quite enjoyed. It's one of my favorite books of all time.

She-Hulk: The Final Episode
1) Titania: The show has treated us to a few interactions between She-Hulk and Titania. We were introduced to the would-be villain as she and Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk tangled in a courtroom throwdown. She-Hulk quickly defeated Titania and set herself up on the path to stardom. Later, the two faced off in a different courtroom battle, a legal one with She-Hulk’s moniker at stake. Once again, She-Hulk prevails and the bad blood between the two grows, leaving Titania swearing she will get revenge. The final face off between the two came when Titania ambushed Jen at her friend's wedding leading to the biggest battle between the two super powered women. There is a little more back and forth in this fight, but in the end, She-Hulk proves to be the dominant warrior. For the final episode, I am torn between: a) Titania will return working for the Intelligencia and b) Titania will be more of a factor in any possible Season 2 of the show and give her the main villain role as she seeks her revenge. I would prefer "b" because I think it has more potential.

'House Of The Dragon': Why Vhagar Is A Big Loss For Rhaenyra And The Blacks
WARNING: SPOILERS for House of the Dragon 1x07, 'Driftmark'. The simmering tension between Queen Alicent's Greens and Princess Rhaenyra's Blacks boils over in House of the Dragon's seventh episode. A disagreement over the ownership of the dragon Vhagar leads to a brawl, during which Rhaenyra's second son, Lucerys Velaryon, gouges out the eye of Alicent's own second son, Aemond Targaryen, when Aemond openly accuses Lucerys and his older brother, Jacaerys, of being the bastard children of the recently deceased heir to Harrenhal, Ser Harwin Strong.

Fall-A-Thon
Gloomy days in fall are some of the best days. There’s something to be said about having a favorite fall themed beverage, getting a comfy on the couch, and looking for something to watch. Cloudy skies can be perfect to watch a movie or a TV show that matches the atmosphere outside. Some people prefer some thing scary to watch during fall, and some people just wanna watch something easy-going during fall. There’s no wrong answer with what they find enjoyable to make their fall absolutely perfect.

House of the Dragon Ep. 7
House of the Dragon has been on an upward swing as the show has gone on (thanks to more women involvement behind the camera). That said with the emergence of women who are treated as actual characters you get truly terrible people. Alicent is on my last damn nerve and Rhaenerya continues to have my heart, as we enter the latter half of the season curiosity builds as to where they are going to leave us. So here we go with episode 7…
