It's like the New Forest only newer, as well as more sudden and completely worldwide. But is it here for revenge, or to provide us with some much-needed help? Let's find out as Mathew Hounsell and Kevin Burnard join us to discuss In the Forest of the Night. Notes and links Here's an article on William Blake's ‘The Tyger', from which this episode gets its name (and its tiger, I guess). Delightfully, as well as providing a short analysis of the poem, it reproduces Blake's full version of the poem in its original form as a text on a watercolour painting. Bubble Shock is the extremely unhealthy soft drink created and marketed by the alien Bane in the first story of the first season of The Sarah Jane Adventures. The Gaia Hypothesis proposes that living organisms and the environment in which they evolved form a complex, self-regulating system that keeps the Earth habitable. It was developed in the 1970s and has generally recieved a fair degree of criticism ever since. This episode was recorded well before New York's recent air-quality problems; New South Wales experienced its own version of this in the summer of 2019/2020, just before the pandemic hit. Here's The Walkley Foundation's digital exhibition of the most astounding press photographs from that terrible summer.

Flight Through Entirety: A Doctor Who Podcast

This week, we're doing some judicially-mandated cleaning up around a council estate in Bristol when we make some terrifying discoveries about the source and nature of the graffiti we're painting over, and some even more terrifying discoveries about our own and our friends' moral characters. Also, someone left the TARDIS prop from Logopolis Part 3 lying around here somewhere. It's Flatline. Notes and links Brendan mentions Jamie Mathieson's film Frequently Asked Questions about Time Travel (2009), a film starring Chris O'Dowd, Dean Lennox Kelly and Marc Wootton as three friends in a pub coping with a weird Moffat-y time travel thing. Nathan mentions Toby Whithouse's series Being Human (2008–2013), originally about a ghost, a vampire and a werewolf flat-sharing in Bristol, and eventually about a completely different ghost, vampire and werewolf flat-sharing on Barry Island: Jamie Mathieson wrote four scripts, one for each of the last four seasons of the show. The idea of beings living in a two-dimensional world was explored as early as 1884 in Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions, written by an English schoolmaster, which combines a lightly comic critique of Victorian social hierarchy with imaginative speculation about the weird experience of living in a two-dimensional world. Steven's description of Series 8's gradual development of the Doctor's character as a magic trick is explicitly based on The Prestige (2006), an early Christopher Nolan film in which two Victorian magicians, Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman, are pitted against one another in a quest for the ultimate illusion. In For Your Eyes Only (1981), Roger Moore's Bond tries to protect a young woman by dissuading her from killing the people who murdered her parents. That woman was Carole Bouquet, whose bottom and alarmingly long legs adorned the film's poster, six years before the first release of Adobe Photoshop.

But this very bad, terrible, horrible day started much more simply. It started with breakfast. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 20th-anniversary retrospective that takes you through all of Star Trek: Enterprise, one episode at a time. In this installment, we continue Season 2 with “Minefield” as we get inside the heads of Reed and Captain Archer to explore why their relationship is what it is, why it differs from Archer's relationship with Trip Tucker, and why it's important to think outside the box. We also discuss the value of simplicity in storytelling and, of course, the challenge of bringing the Romulans into the series years before their conflict with Earth and that famous viewscreen moment.

Stargate Origins : Catherine - Review Analysis

Nerd heaven

It's been almost ten years since that fateful day when Stargate Universe was cancelled. Since then, we've had virtually no Stargate. However, there was a web-series produced by Stargate Command called Stargate Origins. But how did it measure up? Was it a worthwhile addition to the Stargate Universe? Let's watch it and find out. ----more---- Transcript   Welcome to Nerd Heaven I’m Adam David Collings, the author of Jewel of The Stars And I am a nerd   This is episode 24 of the podcast.   Today I’m going to be talking about Stargate Origins. This movie was originally produced as a web series in 2018 as a way of testing the waters for bringing Stargate back to our screens.   It was edited into a feature length movie and titled Stargate Origins Catherine. The series was available on the dedicated streaming service Stargate Command. I watched the first couple of episodes which were free. I always intended to pay for the subscription to finish it, but life got in the way, and the next thing I knew, the service was cancelled. I guess I should have given it my support earlier. Anyway, the film is available to buy or rent on youtube, so I’m gonna give it a go. Now as I understand it, the story was created to follow on from the original Stargate movie, but perhaps not specifically intended to fit in with the canon of the TV shows.   So I’ll be very interested to see if I can make it work in canon, in my head.   The description on imdb reads Stargate Origins explores the journey that sets a young Catherine Langford on the way to helping unlock the secrets of an ancient technology that could change the very course of humanity. It was written by Mark Ilvedson, Justin Michael Terry Directed by  Mercedes Bryce Morgan And it first aired on the 19th of june 2018   Let’s watch Stargate Origins: Catherine.   We open in Giza, Egypt 1928 These Scenes mirror very closely the original Stargate movie, as the gate is discovered. Then we just forward 10 years. It’s 1938 Catherine is all grown up. She’s studying the gate, still trying to figure out what it is Catherine is played by Aussie actor Ellie Gall. She’s using an American accent. In the original movie, she sounded european. Her father is played by Conner Trinier who we’ll know as Trip Tucker in Star Trek Enterprise, or as Michael in Stargate Atlantis. Surprisingly, he looks the part, although I’m really not sure he’s quite old enough to be playing Catherine’s father.   The gate is still in Egypt. That’s where they are. They’re out of funding so it looks like it’s all over.   And then some Nazis break in. Note that this is just one year before the stargate will be transported to America, where the Nazis will make a second attempt to get their hands on it.   The Nazis have a Picture of the stargate transporing people. We’ve seen it before in the movie. On Abydos, I think. Nazis are always a good mix with acherology adventures. So their inclusion here is logical and welcome.   They are powering the gate themselves and dialing it manually. That’s concistent with SG1. We see the standard whoosh effect and then the backwards whoosh out the back of the gate, just like in movie. The TV show never did that but, it is canon according to the movie. The Nazis have figured out the address, but the Langfords don’t see what the dialing sequence is. So that kinda works. The Nazis push langford through the gate and follow him. Catherine steals the notes from the Nazi guard.   Then we cut to Catherine’s boyfriend. He’s a british military officer stationed in Egypt. Catherine goes to him and his mate Wassif  for help.   Now we get to see langford arriving through the gate. This is clearly meant to be Abydos. It’s looking a lot more pristince. Like a brand new movie set. Not an ancient pyramid. And we see a DHD. This is a piece of lore that was introduced by SG1, so it’s clear at this point that they’re not abandoning the TV shows. Which is wonderful. They mention it is just like the one they have in Berlin. So that’s interesting. That’s where the Earth DHD is at the moment. The Russians will eventually have it. Perhaps they take it as spoils after Germany is defeated at the end of world war 2.   There are instances of rather silly humour in this movie. Not the kind of humour in SG1. Jack O’Neil gave some great one-liners. This is a much sillier and a more juvenile kind of humour. Which I’m not really into.   We get to see areas of the abydos pyramid we haven’t seen before. There’s a throne room.   Langford tries to speak to them in ancient egyptian. It took Daniel a while to figure out why to pronounce it. The aliens don’t seem to understand, or at least, don’t care to respond. Langford assumes they’ve travelled through time into the past. An interesting assumption and not entirely unreasonable. Except for the advanced weapon used by the Goa’huld lady.   So at this point, thanks to the Nazi’s notes, Catherine has the address to dial abydos. Even earnest didn’t figure that out, back in SG1. He went to another planet entirely. Catherine never figured out how to dial Abydos until Daniel offered his help. How are they going to explain this?   And she knows to use the point of origin symbol for earth. That’s a real problem. Jame’s reluctance to enter the gate is emotionally believable. Catherine wants to rescue her father. She’ll risk anything for that. But for James, this represents a very dangerous unknown. He’s a military man. He’s used to doing things a certain way. Walking into that thing like this would be an irresponsible act.   But, they are convinced by the threat of the nazis bringing back an unknown technology. Catherine takes a moment to appreciate the wonder of the gate. Just like Daniel does in the movie. Then she steps in and we are treated to the first person view through the wormhole. Man, I’ve missed that. It’s a good reproduction of the original effect. The temple is clean because it’s being maintained by the human slaves. It still looks too new, though.   So how did the Nazi know the address for Earth? Daniel found it on a tablet here on Abydos. Maybe Catherine was just typing in the same code that brought them here, but of course, the point of origin symbol is different, so she doesn’t know what to do.   The floating balls are new. I wonder what they’re about.   I’m wondering why is the warrior hitting them with her staff weapon when she could just shoot them?   And where do the rings beam her to? There’s no ship above, is there? It might be in orbit.   We see a boy with a bucket …. And I wonder … could he be a young Kursaf? That would be cool.   Things get interesting here. The Goahuld woman has a baby, and we learn this is a harcesis. The offspring of two goahuld hosts. Strictly forbidden because it will contain the genetic memory of the goahuld. They really are drawing on the lore of SG1. This is cool. So the warrior is Serqet. An Egyptian scorpion goddess. Generally thought of as a protective godess but she also had a darker side. It seems she and her queen are  hiding here to raise the illegal child. Ra doesn’t know of it. It also seems they’re part of a revolution. I wonder … could they be Tok’ra? We Still don’t know the name of the queen.   And it turns out, I was right. The kid is Kasuf! He reminds me a lot of Skarra. Which makes sense. Since Skarra will be his son. But I’m confused. James name is now Bill?   So, in the struggle, trying to escpae from the human slaves, Wassif is stabbed. But the slaves have a goa’huld healing device. Of course, when they see the pendant with the symbol of Ra, they react much the same way their descendants will in the original Stargate movie.   So having seen the home movie footage of Hitler, the go’huld resistance are considering allying with the nazis. I could think of better allies to choose.   So the queen wants more slaves for her cause. Guess she’s still got that evil streak we would expect from a guahuld. The queen offers the nazis a small piece of naquata. Of course, they don’t understand its value. Until  she demonstrates. Apparently it also can be used to offer eternal youth. I suppose it is one of the active components of the sarcophagus. The queen’s name is Aset. She has fallen out of favour with Ra, which we already know. Aset is another name for Isis.  Goddess of magic, fertility and motherhood. Makes sense that she’d be the mother of the hecsis. Isis has been mentioned in SG1 before. Apparently, in the future, her symbiote will end up in a jar, imprisoned by Seth.   The big mystery here is, how did the nazi know so much? Catherine begins to understand there is more at stake here than just her father. The Nazis cannot be allowed to have access to this alien technology. But she kind of already knew that, because that’s how she convinced her male companions to join her through the gate.   So Catherine and Jamess/Bill are offered Kasuf’s tent for the night. I always find it odd in period pieces like this where people have sex outside of marriage. I’m sure it happened, but it certainly wasn’t accepted in the way that it tends to be nowdays.   Next morning, the goa’huld appear with langford in tow. James/Bill is wise to advise caution to Catherine. They can see her father is ok. But they can’t effectively rescue him right now.   And the Nazi woman is realising how evil her boss is. Even amongst other nazis he stands out as bad. At the same time, Kasuf begins to see that Aset is not all she’s cracked up to be.   There’s a nice little callback when Kasuf says reading is forbidden.   Kasuf sends them to the same cave where Shari takes Daniel, where they can find the address to dial earth.   So at this point in time, the tablet with the address is complete. The point of origin has not yet worn off, but it’s cracked. Nice little touch.   And then we learn that catherine deliberately destroyed the seventh symbol so the nazis couldn’t find the way home. That’s kinda cool.   So just as the nazi leader is gonna kill langford, Ra shows up in his spaceship.   I also find it a little surprising that Catherine and James are not at least a little shocked when Wasif and the man who stabbed him begin to kiss. Again, of course there were people with same-sex attraction in the 30s, and I have no doubt they acted on it, but it wasn’t socially accepted then as it is now. The scene just felt a little forced, especially since the relationship is portrayed so shallowly. For that matter, Catherine and James’ relationship is pretty shallow too. Romantic relationships are definitely not the strength of this movie.   The nazi no longer cares about serving Hitler. He’s beyond earth politics. He wants to rule earth as a god, just like the goa’huld. And so he’s killed by his own associate. She kills him in the name of Hitler, but at least she kills him. And then, sequet turns out to be working for Ra!   And this is how they make this movie work in canon. Aset erases all of their memories. More than that, she plants the suggestion in their minds to assemble a team to one day return through the stargate to defeat Ra. Which of course, is exactly what will happen. So Wassif and the other guys are turned into Horus Guards! That could even explain why some of the Horus guards in the movie don’t have Jaffa pouches.   And it turns out, that wasn’t the same temple as in the movie, which explains why it didn’t quite look the same. The gate is moved and that temple is destroyed.   Poor Catherine isn’t very lucky in love. James gave his life for her and she doesn’t even remember him. And then later, earnest gets stranded on an alien planet. So that was an interesting little story. It adds a little to the Stargate mythos, but in a lot of ways, it feels like an inferior copy of the original movie. It certainly mirrors most of the story beats. Still, it was nice to see something, anything, stargate, on screen again. I can see why this web series didn’t exactly set the fandom on fire, and it’s sad that nothing more has happened since 2019. I can only hope that this isn’t the last we’ll see of Stargate. Reportedly, MGM are interested in talking to people like Brad Wright to maybe bring the franchise back to life.   Only time will tell, but the recent return of Jean-Luc Picard to our screens proves that it’s never too late.

Precious Cargo. As one of the Starfleet's earliest explorers, James T. Kirk gained a reputation for finding an alien love interest on every world he visited. A century earlier, in Kirk-like fashion, Trip Tucker found himself in a situation that could have easily taken place on The Original Series as he rescued a princess. It's Sleeping Beauty with a twist—and a dash of Han and Leia—packaged with a strip of jerkey and a swamp swim. "Precious Cargo" is an episode that the creators considered so bad that Brannon Braga reportedly begged Rick Berman not to air it. Is it really that terrible? In this episode of The Ready Room we're joined by Matthew Rushing, Charlynn Schmiedt, and John Mills to discuss this story that takes inspiration and connections from not only TOS but from TNG as well. With a princess telling Trip "you're my only hope" (seriously), Archer and T'Pol playing Good Cop/Bad Cop, and the ship from Pigs In Space, there's so much fun to explore that we're left scratching our heads in light of the creators' scorn. In our news segment we find out about the Smithsonian's Enterprise move, Orci shunning the Power Rangers to focus on Star Trek, and a look at what's coming up at Destination Star Trek London.   Hosts Christopher Jones and Matthew Rushing   Guests Charlynn Schmiedt and John Mills   Editor and Producer Christopher Jones   Associate Producer Renee Roberts   News The Smithsonian starts its Enterprise move (3:54) Orci shuns the Power Rangers to focus on Star Trek (8:28) Destination Star Trek London (14:00) Support Trek.fm on Patreon (20:25) Sponsor: Audible (21:57)   Feature: Precious Cargo Intro and Synopsis (24:50) Please Don't Air This Crap!

Literary Treks: A Star Trek Books and Comics Podcast

Rise of the Federation: A Choice of Futures. The premature cancellation of Enterprise left fans in the dark about two key events in Star Trek history. The first was the Romulan War, which has since had light shone upon it by Michael A. Martin. The second is the founding of the Federation, a pivotal time that we still know almost nothing about. Until now that is. In this episode of Literary Treks, hosts Matthew Rushing and Christopher Jones dive into the first book in Christopher L. Bennett's Rise of the Federation series, A Choice of Futures. We explore the early struggles faced by the Humans, Vulcans, Andorians, and Tellarites as they work to establish the United Federation of Planets, the combined Starfleet, and the very identity of what these organizations will be. The challenges are many as external threats work to undermine the fledgling union, incompatible technologies are pushed together, internal political debates rage, and old rivalries linger. Even Section 31 gets in on the act as our old friend Trip Tucker continues down a path far from the one he once shared with Archer. In our news segment we take a first look at Kirsten Beyer's Voyager novel Protectors, Greg Cox's TOS-Voyager crossover tale No Time Like The Past, and get a quick peek at the next installment of Rise of the Federation, Tower of Babel.

Unexpected. The first rule of Xyrillian boating is you do not talk about Xyrillian boating. The second rule is you don't stick your hands into a box of pebbles with a stranger. This is something Trip Tucker learned the hard way when a seemingly innocent day on the holographic water left him with a few extra nipples and an alien baby. In this episode of The Ready Room we're joined by Drew Stewart, Mariel Keeran, and Enterprise associate producer Dave Rossi to discuss “Unexpected,” how it gives us a rare glimpse of a truly alien environment, introduces holodeck and replicator technology, the first hostile encounter between human and Klingon ships, and more. In news we look at a feature-length Blu-ray release for “Redemption,” recovered footage from “The Bonding,” the return of Star Trek fragrances, personalised Star Trek email addresses, a Facebook chat with George Takei and J.J. Abrams, a little known Star Trek Into Darkness TV spot, and the Into Darkness soundtrack.
