The official Ahsoka trailer has the excitement levels going up. Might need to do a Rebels rewatch beforehand. 📺
Very disappointing news about Star Trek Prodigy not only being cancelled but removed from the Paramount+ platform altogether.
Original series for what’s possibly one of the strongest collections of IP on the platform and it’s removed as a tax write-off. Dumb. 📺🖖🏻
Babylon 5: The Road Home premieres on 15 August so not long to wait now! It’s exciting that we’re finally getting some new B5 after all this time.
The trailer is giving me very Quantum Leap Sam Beckett “put right what once went wrong” vibes though. 📺
I wasn’t sure about Silo after watching the first two episodes. The pacing seemed a bit slow and I felt they could’ve been one episode.
I stayed with it though and the next four episodes were much better. Less padding, more plot development.
I have my theories so keen to see how they pan out. 📺
I quite enjoyed the Ted Lasso finale. S3 wrapped up storylines and was consistent with the growth journey the characters were on. The way they leaned into Rebecca and Ted’s relationship across the episode brought things full circle. Just lovely feel good tv and sometimes that’s all you want. 📺
All caught up on Ted Lasso S3 ready for the final episode. My prediction is Ted resigns as coach to go back home, Coach Beard stays. Ted recommends Nate take his place as head coach. 📺
If you start now and watch seven episodes a week (including specials) you will have completed all of the 2005 onward episodes of Doctor Who before the 60th special airs in November. 📺
Watched the first two episodes of Silo. The set is exceptional and the cast are great. It’s based on a book and I must admit I’m thinking it probably would’ve been much better turned into a movie instead of a ten episode series. 📺
Watched the first episode of Mrs Davis as it’s had a thumbs up from people with similar viewing tastes to me. Very quirky and fun. I’ll be watching the rest of it. 📺
Murray Gold returning as Doctor Who composer 📺
The news that Murray Gold is returning to Doctor Who is quite exciting, for me anyway.
I love the way each season he created new material, giving each important character their own piece. You hear Clara’s theme and you see that leaf blowing on the wind. You hear “I am the Doctor” and you see Eleven leaping into action.
Hearing his theme in 2005 when the Doctor finally returned to our screens was just so exciting. It was a new arrangement but so familiar and took me straight back to how hearing that music as a boy meant the latest episode was starting and for 25 minutes I was going to be caught up in an adventure in time and space.
