I got to watch FORGOTTEN ISLAND. Beautiful movie. I loved it! Definitely give it a chance. Here's four pictures out of context to sum it up.

"Like Chronitons Through the Hourglass" might be my favorite episode of this season of Strange New Worlds. It took two of my least favorite elements of this show & built a diamond from them (at least for this specific story). Really strong interpersonal dramatics all around. Loved it.

Got to see COYOTE VS. ACME! It was genuinely great! I continue to echo everyone's thoughts who say Zaslav sucks that he tried to bury this film. Thank you Ketchup Entertainment! I laughed a lot and had a wonderful time!

Just saw Legend of the White Dragon. It was very clearly a labor of love by all involved, unfortunately it is unmistakably compromised by JDF's death. You can tell. Some very sweet moments before and after the film, but the film itself is just not very good I'm so sorry.

This specific shot in the recent episode of Strange New Worlds is now my favorite in the series as a whole thus far. It floored me. Great episode this week. Wonderful focus on Chapel and Scotty.

Recently watched both Companion (2025) and Ex Machina (2014). It's interesting how they're in conversation with one another on their approaches to telling a similar story regarding AI. I felt Companion was fun, not exceptional, but Ex Machina was brilliant and more my jam.

Finally got to watch Obsession. That movie rules. I can see why it got such good word of mouth and then crushed it at the theater!

Probably going to be my next entry for Beat's Bizarre Adventure. Currently reading. We'll see how it concludes, but so far I'm really enjoying it.

Derrick Crow @dcrow.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

I don't know how it's going over here, but on Twitter the BBD art book discourse is really frustrating. And whether you believe it was all AI or not you should be demanding Sony fix their book they're making you pay for.

Derrick Crow @dcrow.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Still, I'm glad the overall quality of the current season is heads above season 3 so that's something and I will not knock it.

000

Derrick Crow @dcrow.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

I love seasons one and two, even though they are far from perfect, but I think I'm projecting that totality through the lens of the specific episodes I loved and I don't know if those seasons would hold up on a rewatch.

Derrick Crow @dcrow.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

I LIKED the puppet episode, and the ending doesn't completely ruin it for me, but for all the fun I was having there were also glaring problems that really gave me whiplash throughout the episode and that's been a lot of this season so far.

Derrick Crow @dcrow.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Unfortunately for Strange New Worlds season 4 season 3 exists so I'm probably harder on it than before, plus my own sensibilities and art critique have evolved while the show really hasn't. Episode 2 was incredible, episode 1 was really bad, & the subsequent ones have been middling to pretty decent.

Derrick Crow @dcrow.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

I've seen some of it, but I plan on restarting the series and finally finishing it. I really enjoyed what I watched. :)

Derrick Crow @dcrow.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

I hope so! We can hope the current era of TV scheduling and renewal changes for the better soon.

Derrick Crow @dcrow.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

I really enjoyed the season finale of House of the Dragon. This has been such a solid show throughout its three seasons. Now for the ungodly two year wait for the final season. At least A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is coming back early next year.

Derrick Crow @dcrow.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Watched 1980's mini-series SHŌGUN. What a great show. It gets a little long at times, I also got lost a bit in the weeds in the final episode, but overall it was an incredible spectacle with a great cast. Yoko Shimada as Mariko in particular was a stand out to me. Highly recommend checking this out!

Finally exploring the War Doctor. Started with Engines of War then Only the Monstrous box set. All very Briggs heavy. EoW was marvelous, I truly enjoyed it a lot. OtM has a great John Hurt performance, but none of the stories did much for me. It was only okay. Onward to the next.

Derrick Crow @dcrow.bsky.social · 24/04/2026

However, I am now halfway through the 11th Doctor/Valerie adventures and overall it's been pretty solid! Great opening story, some solid ideas and high concepts, with only one story I didn't fully enjoy. But the one-two punch of Curiosity Shop+Broken Hearts really got me.

000

Derrick Crow @dcrow.bsky.social · 24/04/2026

Recently started listening to the 11th Doctor Chronicles, the first volume was pretty hit and miss for me, the second volume was an improvement. My favorite story overall was from vol. 2, "The Melting Pot" I thought it was really, really good.

Derrick Crow @dcrow.bsky.social · 24/04/2026

Of the 8DA novels, I've read in full the first three. 8 Doctors is an insane opening book for a run, Vampire Science is so good it's become one of my favorite DW stories, and unfortunately I didn't care for The Bodysnatchers. Currently working my way through book 4.

Derrick Crow @dcrow.bsky.social · 18/04/2026

Maybe I'll make a living thread of DW media I've taken in. Recently got this UNIT book Operation Fall-Out, excited to read it.

"Operation Epic Fury" All these evil people in power are twelve and they're going to keep getting people killed for no reason whatsoever. Humiliating and enraging.

Please please please let us get a season two of #SpartacusHouseofAshur. This has been such an excellent series and worthy successor to the original. That ending is what casting aside your creative shackles and embracing the full depth of storytelling is all about.
