Doctor Who Review: The Eaters of Light
Doctor Who Series 10 Episode 10 - The Eaters of Light
So, Eaters of Light. This review has been a while coming, so I apologise for the delay, the reason for this is because I became busy and fell behind and realised that I had three more episodes of series ten left to review.
I'll only give a brief review of this one because, in my personal opinion, not much happens in it enough for me to comment on. It was written by Rona Munro who wrote 'Survival' for the seventh doctor. It was also the last story of the original run of episodes for Doctor Who. And now, she's been invited back to write a story for the new series.
It is always good to have a blast from the past and have a writer who wrote for the classic series back in over twenty-eight years. However, with all that being good and said with positive intentions, I really didn't see much going for this one. Which seems a shame because I thought this one had a lot of potential and had much going for it, but no. It was disappointing.
For most parts it was slow and boring, the overall structure of the story was weak and the actual creatures themselves although they look impressive, I didn't really see much behind their back story. For instance, they feed on light but they're also afraid of it, how does that correlate?
I did like all the mystery behind the story and what had happened to the roman army, and it was good to see emblems of the ancient history mix in with aliens. I also liked the settings for this and the location stuff was good. Reminiscent to stories like "The Time Meddler" and "The Mysterious Planet".
But the main question to ask is, would I bring Rona Munro back to write a story, just because I like "Survival" my answer is no probably not, and this is a simplistic example of that answer.
I'll give it a 5/10.
Next Week: World Enough and Time.

My Reactions: Jodie Whittaker - The Thirteenth Doctor
Hello Everyone.
So today is Tuesday 25th July. It's been eight days since the new doctor has been announced, we now know that Peter Capaldi's successor is going to be Jodie Whittaker. The first female doctor in the shows continuity (Not Joanna Lumley because she doesn't count)
And seeing as it's been a few days and I've time to fully absorb this news. I decided that now was the time to talk about this and express my thoughts and opinions on what I think of Jodie Whittaker being the doctor.
Now, before I begin, I think it's important to point out that what is said in this blog post are simply just my thoughts and opinions. I am only one fan of the show, there are thousands of others out there, and I do not speak for all the fans. Also, even if you don't agree with some of the things I say, please respect my opinion as being just that my opinion. You're allowed to think however you want to think, and I have my own thoughts, ideas, and opinions on the matter.
So, yes. It was announced on Sunday 16th July that the identity of the new doctor was going to be announced after the Wimbledon men's final where Federer won. It was all very exciting because it was something which I had been guessing at for a long time not really thinking who it could possibly be. I had a few suggestions in my head over who I would have liked it be, but still feeling very reluctant over the fact that there was going to be a new doctor. I still stand with not wanting Peter Capaldi to leave. I think it's such a terrible shame that he is leaving and I feel terribly sad that he's not going to get to play the part under new management. Especially seeing as his doctor has been absolutely incredible in this years series, the writers and the production team have really nailed his character. I still feel his doctor has so much more to give and just see the whole thing as being a wasted opportunity still.
My overall thinking was "I'm fine with whoever it is, just so long as it's not a woman". That was the thing I was most worried about and could almost take a sigh of relief when Peter Capaldi was announced back in 2013. I could rest easy knowing that the principal and tradition of the show that I love stayed the same. However, it would seem the possibility of it being a woman was never really ruled out this time around. I heard the BBC had ruled out, but that must have turned out to be hearsay.
When I heard it was Jodie Whittaker, I'm not too good at receiving things when I first hear them and I was in denial. I was like "This is a joke." "They pulling my leg, she's not the doctor" but no, as it turns out it was confirmed that it had happened, they had cast the first female doctor and my instinct was to go off the wall and rage about it, but I chose to stay calm about it and I was more calm about it than I thought I should be which felt strange to me. But yes, I was in denial I kept on saying to myself "This is not happening! This is NOT HAPPENING!" "I'm done!" "I'm done watching Doctor Who. This is the end for me" there were all sorts of things going on in my head and it was like my worst fears had come true and I felt like someone had punched me hard in the stomach. That's what it felt like, a punch in the stomach. "Why? Why did it have to be a woman?" I kept saying to myself "There are thousands of other actors out there who would suit the part splendidly".
I don't consider myself to be a sexist, I'm not a sexist. I treat all the woman in my life with kindness and respect, but this just seemed ludicrous. Basically, I think it's a manour of principal and a manour of tradition that the Doctor is a man. The last twelve have been, so it's just been a continuous thing regardless of what anyone thinks. The doctor stays a man. Before you start pointing the figure and calling me a sexist, I fully understand the principals of gender and gender equality in television, It was something which I studied as part of my university degree. I even wrote an essay on the forms of masculinity shown in James Bond, so before you start pointing the finger and accusing me of being sexist, I understand and know gender and gender equality of both male and female characters in film and television. There are hundreds of other fans who agree with me on that matter, people who have grown up watching the show and loving it for thirty, forty or even fifty years. And their almost rule of the show they love so much has been tampered with.
I got into a lot of arguments on Facebook trying to explain this to people, and my mum said "You shouldn't react to what they're saying, they're only doing it to get a reaction from you" but I just can't help getting involved in heated debates over it, because I know and feel that I'm right. But with all due respect, my mum was right. I didn't have much of an argument at the time, and everyone was coming back at me with clever responses which I didn't know how to respond back to, so I just didn't say anything.
Having had some time to reflect on what has happened and what's going to happen, I feel that I am just one fan, there are thousands of other all over the world now that Doctor Who has gone global who are really happy with this choice and are willing to embrace the change, why should my thoughts and opinions sh*t or in some cases crush on something they have in their own right to feel happy about just because I'm cross or annoyed by this, It's perfectly understandable for me to be scared or resistant of such a big change to a show that I love, but I can't hold up on the fact that I disagree with the choice of casting just because she's a woman, it's not fair on Whittaker as an actress.
Over time, my feelings towards it developed and changed and now I feel more okay about it than I did before, because what I realised was "It doesn't matter whose playing the part, as long as the scripts are good and the stories are good and it continues to be the show that I love, then that's all that matters" and to be fair this is first time we are going to be exploring Doctor Who in a brand new dynamic, this is going to be the biggest reboot since series five in a nutshell.
And it is historic, people are going to be talking about this for years to come. This will go down in television history. I just hope that Jodie Whittaker in collaboration with Chris Chibnall and the production team can work together to give us a great show because they have a lot of weight resting on their shoulders to take over from where Moffatt left off. They've got a big job on their hands, and I don't envy them in the slightest.
So overall thoughts are though I don't agree with this choice completely, I accept it, it's happened, it's done now, there is nothing that I can do about it, So I might as well wait and see what's to come.

INJUSTICE 2 - SEASON 1: Friday 21st July 2017
Hello Everyone
Welcome to another Injustice 2 post.
This is just to explain that as of Friday 21st July, Injustice 2 gameplay videos will go on a summer hiatus as I take a six-week break from gaming. But, I have a very special Let's Play Injustice 2 video planned which is going to bring the first series to a spectacular close.
The video will include: Batman, Superman, Aquaman, The Joker, Wonder Woman and Catwoman going up against a series of formidable opponents, all of which are at maximum level. The identity of the opponents I'll be facing will be revealed when the video is uploaded on Friday.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for watching and liking my videos, it's been a pleasure doing these videos this season and I have so much more to with Injustice 2.
Mortal Kombat XL: SUMMER INVASION
It's Summer in Earthrealm, however, the forces of the Chaos Realm are advancing an invasion.
Special Forces, Elder Gods and Lin Kuei assemble to fight the forces of Chaos Realm before the invasion begins.
CHAOS REALM INVASION
INVASION BOSS
Tremor
Much had changed since the Black Dragon's excursion to the dream realm, Kano had sent Tremor's team there to expose a 'psych bomb' to be used in Kano's theft of Shinnok's amulet. Exposure to that realm had increased Tremor's power - and expanded his mind. Now evolved into an earth elemental, Tremor is a demi god who possess the powers of the earth, which bend to his might and will. He will use his new found power to crush and destroy his opposition as easily as swatting a fly. Let's Rock!
So that's who the challenger will be facing for this year's Summer Invasion challenge.

COMING SOON: Injustice 2 - Enemies of The Flash
COMING SOON
INJUSTICE 2: ENEMIES OF THE FLASH
Hey everyone.
This is just another Injustice 2 update post today, to explain and exciting new thing that's going to be happening in the next few days. Basically, what I'm going to do is introduce a new series of challenges called "Enemies of the Flash" where I try out my skills with the flash and boost it up a level in terms of taking my gameplay with this character to higher levels.
I do really enjoy playing with the Flash, he is one of my favourite characters in the game. He's super fast and has quick mobility which makes him very popular with most players.
I feel like the Flash has been a character that I have made redundent, I don't really do much with him, I'm very much used to playing with characters such as: Black Adam, Aquaman, Green Arrow and Batman. So I thought why not take a break from all of that and do something fun with the flash for a day.
So coming soon, is a series of three challenges where I will be facing three opponents at a much higher level of difficulty to what I am used to playing on a daily Injustice 2 video, it will raise the bar a bit and test me much more than what I am used to being up against.
It will be in three parts and in each part the flash will face a different opponent. I'll be facing Reverse Flash, Captain Cold and Gorilla Grodd.
Stay tuned for more on information on that as it comes up.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

COMING SOON: CRASH BANDICOOT N SANE TRILOGY - CRASH BANDICOOT WARPED
Hi, everyone.
So the new and improved, modified and remastered Crash Bandicoot game was released this weekend.
The N Sane trilogy features updated versions of Crash Bandicoot, Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back and Crash Bandicoot 3 or Crash Bandicoot Warped.
I had made a post before expressing my excitement for this trilogy coming out, as Crash Bandicoot was and still is my childhood. I used to go round my cousin's house in Bournemouth and play these games and I used to play them for hours on end in the days when I was at school.
Now, I have been given an unexpected but wonderful opportunity to re live my childhood again, by playing these games. A labyrinth of challenges where I am rewarded with crystals, gems and time relics that can be used to help me out as I progress through the game.
Unfortunately, I don't have the game yet. I have to wait until next week before I can order my copy of it, as soon as I do have a copy of it, I will be soon to start once I have it in my possession.
I shall start off with Crash Bandicoot Warped and work my way backward through Crash Bandicoot 2 and then I'll do the original Crash Bandicoot game. The reason I say that is because games two and three are much shorter in length than the first one, with the first one, the challenges get harder as you go through it and there's more to do and more to get through. I thought I might start off with the two games I played every day all the way through my younger days since the age of eight.
I'm thrilled about the N Sane trilogy and I can't wait to get started on a new series of gameplay videos.
