'Doctor Who': Revisiting 'The Crimson Horror'
For some time now, there's been some chatter among Doctor Who fans for a spin-off based on the Paternoster Gang of Madame Vastra, Jenny Flint, and Strax. Nearly five years after their last on-screen appearance in "Deep Breath," such a thing has yet to appear. If such a series were to appear chances are "The Crimson Horror," aired as part of the second half of Series Seven in 2013, would be the template for such a series.

Why 'Timeless' Deserves to Get Cancelled, AGAIN
No, this is no case of deja vu, nor the result of a closed time-like curve. Timeless fans are looking at their favorite show, potentially being canceled again, because that's what happens when you do the same thing over and over. You get the same results. Einstein even said so and added, that to expect anything different is the definition of insanity. As a result, if the show producers, writers, and their beloved Clockblockers thought anything else would be happening now, they're all nuts, which of course, doesn't surprise me at all. I predicted these circumstances way before the middle of its first season, when I was still a fan. All that's over now.

The Sontarans Set to Make an Epic Comeback to 'Doctor Who' After a 10-Year Break
Starting way back in 1963, Doctor Who today remains one of the most loved television shows on the BBC. The hit science-fiction show originally ran from 1963 to 1989 when it was tragically canceled due to large drops in ratings and viewing figures. However, fans of the show were relieved when news broke that the show will be back in 2005 with Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor. The man behind the revival is Russell T Davies, who then passed the showrunner tools over to Steven Moffat, who has now passed the baton over to Chris Chibnall.

'Lost in Space' Season 2 Is Already in the Works!
Let me just start by saying that I'm over the moon we even got a Lost in Space Season One. The original Lost in Space series, which ran from 1965-1968, was some seriously OG sci-fi. In fact, it was the original rival to Star Trek. And even though the narrative has had multiple remakes and reboots since, Netflix's release of a reboot on the 50th year since the original show's cancellation made a lot of sci-fi fans very very happy. And let's be real, any Lost in Space is good Lost in Space, if you ask me.

10 Best Science Fantasy TV Shows on Netflix
Of all the different genres in the current TV landscape, none has produced more exciting shows than science fantasy. Science fantasy shows are all over the place these days, they're multiplying like rabbits and attracting a ton of viewers. Not only that, but most are garnering critical acclaim as well. Throw in Netflix, a streaming service that allows people to watch endless hours of their favorite content without feeling guilty (besides that pesky "Are you still watching?" message that comes up, the answer is always yes, Netflix), and suddenly there is more demand than ever before for quality fantasy/sci-fi shows. With so many shows dropping all the time, it can be hard to keep up with all of them. Fear not, I have compiled this list to solve that very problem. So without further ado, here are the ten best science fantasy TV shows on Netflix.

The 'Lost in Space' Reboot Is a Contrived Upgrade of the Original
For the majority of science fiction fans today, the 1960s was the decade of Star Trek, The Twilight Zone, Planet of the Apes, and 2001: A Space Odyssey. For others, this list also includes Lost in Space. Most millennials may vaguely recall a cheesy film of the same name in 1998, starring Gary Oldman and the funniest Friend, Matt LeBlanc, but some may not realize that that film was a poor reimagining of a classic show. From 1965 to 1968, viewers were privy to the trials and tribulations of the Robinson family as they navigated the turmoil of being lost in space. It was a hit show for CBS, unlike ‘Star Trek, which scraped by but has endured through films and franchise spin-offs.

How 'Black Mirror' Changed My Social Media Habits. Top Story - April 2018.
Of all nineteen episodes of Black Mirror, the third season premiere, “Nosedive,” was the hardest for me to watch. There was no bestiality, no murder, no consciousness-transfer. It wasn’t as shocking as “White Bear” or as disturbing as “Black Museum.” Sure, there was advanced technology, but it was nothing like the synthetic husband in "Be Right Back."
