Professor Stephen Hawkwind @stephenhawkwind.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Have to admire Davies stones, here. Gets to hype something that'll never happen, go on about how brilliant it would've been, without ever having to deliver. 000
Professor Stephen Hawkwind @stephenhawkwind.bsky.social · 06/10/2026The difference between writing for minorities, and writing against bigots. 000
Professor Stephen Hawkwind @stephenhawkwind.bsky.social · 05/10/2026You know what, given his youth and vigour, I actually don't believe Shatner is bald anymore. 020
Professor Stephen Hawkwind @stephenhawkwind.bsky.social · 05/10/2026It's all well and good getting an actor like John Hurt for the role, but to not give him any of the nuance and depth of Susan's subplot - his total supplication to FATE, his embrace of fascism out of a desire for human connection and to repress his latent homosexual urges - is a waste of his time. 000
Professor Stephen Hawkwind @stephenhawkwind.bsky.social · 05/10/2026It's absolutely bankrupt scriptwriting to change his name from Susan to Sutler. The scriptwriter thinking they were being bloody clever in a 'ey, ey, geddit?' kind of way. 100
Professor Stephen Hawkwind @stephenhawkwind.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Interesting that it and the next World War II story both use blatant metaphors for sex and sexuality. Ace swims and the Doctor dances. 010
Professor Stephen Hawkwind @stephenhawkwind.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Let's face it, nobody higher up the chain gave a shit so long as the characters weren't mainlining heroin or anything. 010
Professor Stephen Hawkwind @stephenhawkwind.bsky.social · 04/10/2026What is weird is the lack of geography to it all. Everywhere seems to be within 10 seconds of everywhere else. Like, the Doctor to get from a military base to a church to a beach quick as you like. 110
Professor Stephen Hawkwind @stephenhawkwind.bsky.social · 03/10/2026sing: I've a voice for print. drive: Professional pedestrian. write: Well, you're reading this, aren't you? guitar: Can chuck out a few bass chords. speaking: Lady of the House. 010

Then I discovered defrosting. whistle: Conversationally. draw: Used for cutlery. paint: Just started Worrammah. swim: Not for decades, but it's just like riding a bike. english: And proud! dance: Like a Jackson Pollock. 120
Professor Stephen Hawkwind @stephenhawkwind.bsky.social · 03/10/2026A grand time had by all, in a basement in Hammersmith. 031
Professor Stephen Hawkwind @stephenhawkwind.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Phil Wang is the new Doctor Who. 030
Professor Stephen Hawkwind @stephenhawkwind.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I'd genuinely like to know what their thoughts were on the future at the time of the Search for Spock - was Excelsior planned to succeed Enterprise, or was it being shown to be a bit crap (unfairly, due to Scotty's sabotage) felt to be too undermining for our new leading lady? 010
Professor Stephen Hawkwind @stephenhawkwind.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Interesting to note that the DC Comics line released between 1984 and 1986 had Kirk take command of the Excelsior after the events of Search for Spock. They then had to contrive a way for the crew to become renegades and Spock to lose his memory again, to fit in with the start of Voyage Home. 120
Professor Stephen Hawkwind @stephenhawkwind.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Not, as it often seems, celebrities talking around what they learnt about being a stay-at-home dad during lockdown, with a book deal already signed before the first episode launches. 011
Professor Stephen Hawkwind @stephenhawkwind.bsky.social · 02/10/2026The best podcasts have always been when it's a couple of disorganised mates, around a microphone, talking about a subject they like but aren't necessarily experts in. 110
Professor Stephen Hawkwind @stephenhawkwind.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Quite literally, litter bugs. 020
Professor Stephen Hawkwind @stephenhawkwind.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Tonight, I've eaten a giant bag of Monster Munch and watched a documentary on Edward Albee. What's your excuse? 020
Professor Stephen Hawkwind @stephenhawkwind.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Always been mesmerised by this Navigation Guild acolyte, who has picked the most inopportune moment to do the hoovering. 110
Professor Stephen Hawkwind @stephenhawkwind.bsky.social · 01/10/2026It's a bit of a challenge. The first hundred-odd pages are some fairly plodding texts about espionage and counter-espionage, history lessons and trade negotiations. It picks up as the Harkonens smash shit up, and then the Atreides counter-revolution seems to happen off-screen. 010
Professor Stephen Hawkwind @stephenhawkwind.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Lynch's Dune is not a good film, but it is a great film. Certainly check out the Smershpod episode on it with Paul Litchfield. 110
Professor Stephen Hawkwind @stephenhawkwind.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I hope I look as cool at 75 as Link Wray did. 000
Professor Stephen Hawkwind @stephenhawkwind.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Like Bones says in a later film, turning certain death into a fighting chance to live. 010
Professor Stephen Hawkwind @stephenhawkwind.bsky.social · 30/09/2026It's Andy Burnham! He wears a t-shirt and likes Morrissey! 010
Professor Stephen Hawkwind @stephenhawkwind.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Someone said recently that the film's problem was that it had too many preview screenings, so all the fans who could've bolstered ticket sales on the opening weekend had already seen it. 110
Reposted by Professor Stephen HawkwindMatt Beany @mattsawyer.bsky.social · 30/09/2026TWO spare tickets now! 053
Professor Stephen Hawkwind @stephenhawkwind.bsky.social · 29/09/2026That's how I took it. DWM got to be for the sneery, 'woke up at 3am with my head on a sink' type fans. DWA was for kids who actually enjoyed the programme. 011
Professor Stephen Hawkwind @stephenhawkwind.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Well, the magazine wasn't, anyway. 110
Professor Stephen Hawkwind @stephenhawkwind.bsky.social · 28/09/2026On a positive note, GifGlobe has had an overhaul and my favourite reaction gif is back. 000

Professor Stephen Hawkwind @stephenhawkwind.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Captain Picard has a brass neck. He should've been sat in that ready room, drinking wine and reading Molière. 010

Professor Stephen Hawkwind @stephenhawkwind.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Cropredy still remains the best value for money, music festival-wise. Seen at least one former Doctor Who there. 120
Professor Stephen Hawkwind @stephenhawkwind.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Coming down the stairs like Douglas Bader, right now. 120
Professor Stephen Hawkwind @stephenhawkwind.bsky.social · 27/09/2026The lads love a good piatza. Mad on it. 010
Professor Stephen Hawkwind @stephenhawkwind.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I'm just going to let it all slide into the red then fake my own death. 010
Professor Stephen Hawkwind @stephenhawkwind.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Sulu looks dope as fuck in his leather cape. Chekov obviously feels foolish for turning up to a rescue mission dressed like a 19th Century pageboy, as he swaps to a black t-shirt during their flight to Genesis. 040
Professor Stephen Hawkwind @stephenhawkwind.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Update: Managed to find all three on an obscure torrenting service. So my collection is now complete. 000
Professor Stephen Hawkwind @stephenhawkwind.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Like every soldier I've ever met, Yates and Benton have no clue how to dress in mufti and look wrong in anything other than fatigues. 010
