I don’t know why but, even though I wasn’t the one driving to Philadelphia, I felt like I wasted a great deal of time watching the Ghost Hunters episode Fortuna & Topton.

We watched the Monk series finale last night and I have to say it wasn’t quite as good as I thought it would be. But, it did have a few twists that I didn’t expect so it still managed to win some points.
First, the case was way too easy …

After the previous episode, I wasn’t really sold on the Cybermen. I’m still not blown away by them, but my opinion of them as foes of the Doctor has increased significantly.
Really though, this episode belongs to Mickey, who gets to shine after being left behind and then …

From November 1963, The Twilight Zone: The Old Man in the Cave has its moments, but it’s not really a favorite episode. It’s more odd than appealing, and I’ve never found it to be all that satisfying as entertainment goes.

Like many other episodes of the popular 1990s American television series “The X-Files” I thought this one was also quite interesting. In fact, I can remember a familiar face of an actor in there who seems to star in many B-Movies such as “The Candyman” and “The Strange Case …
