As much as I respect they get their money through the ads, I don't think I'd watch TV at all without the DVR.  Yeesh.

 

I don't have BBCA though so I'd just buy a digital season and watch it that way.  I only just watched s10 so trying to gauge from you guys if s11 is worth it.

Same here. And Season 10 wasn't worth it. Only the monk storyline was at all good, and the ending was poor. It came off as a cheap knock-off of the finale of season 3 overall. And Bill has pretty much replaced Rose as my most disliked companion.

 

Spoiler

And building up a redemption arc for Missy ... only to have her killed off by her previous incarnation? Incredibly unfulfilling. The first time the Master has been remotely entertaining since Anthony Ainley played the role, and they don't give the viewers a payoff.

 

I've seen some good things about the first couple episodes, though in general I'm avoiding spoilers. But if the tone and style and overall feel of 11 is anything like 10, I'll be skipping it.

I didn't like the inside of the Tardis,  too dark and dreary... I preferred the previous design better. Maybe it'll grow on me.

Kinda reminded me of Eccleston's TARDIS, and I never really liked the organic look with silly controls.  The custard cream biscuit "reward" for setting a course was just... oh god.

 

As for Jodie. She's OK so far, but we'll see how things go. Can't really judge her performance until the end of her first season... That's all she's got to sell me on her performance.

I'm not entirely vested into this Series yet.

 

It feels awkward to me. "On the edge of falling apart" awkward.

 

It's not the actors - they're fine - it's the presentation. The way the showrunners are presenting all of this. It almost looks "overdone".

 

I dunno. Moffat's era had substance (when it was good), this era seems to lack substance in favor of setting the production value to 12 and it doesn't always fit the context.

 

I'll give it a fair chance, though.

That was an amazing episode! I loved it so much! That was just awesome!

 

Spoiler

I want to know just who that other time traveler was, and where he was sent. I feel a new nemesis is a possibility. Ooo Maybe Master?

 

 

BBCAM is crazy though with the commercials. 10, 10, 8, and then another 8. Makes me feel like it's really only a 30 minute show.

In some ways it felt more like an episode of Quantum Leap to me.  Anyways, I too am very curious as to where that other traveler was inadvertently sent to and what consequences will become of that.

Yes! It was very Quantum Leap in its premise and execution.

It was quite good but a little too PSA for me, BBC has a tendency to script PSA-like episodes, especially in their soaps (i.e. When drugs or suicide are prevalent in the news then there'll be an episode or story arc centering around that subject), this seemed to suffer from the same. They might as well turn to camera at the end and say "Don't be racist, mkay?"

Fricken giant mutant spiders. Blaah.

 

Chris Noth made a good bad guy I thought...

Spoiler

I liked that they made him a Trump rival who just wanted to be president to show him up as opposed to being some lame Trump analog. I was rolling my eyes at first.

Curious question... I stopped watching (just fell out of habit) in I think the first season of Capaldi (that is the last I remember). Where can I catch up to recent broadcasts? Assuming I have access to multiple streaming platforms and am American.

Can you get BBC America online? (that is where it is streamed) Maybe your provider has a catch up service?

Furthermore Kdenlive brings a powerful titling tool, a DVD authoring (menus) solution, and can then be used as a complete studio for video creation. Kdenlive supports all of the formats supported by FFmpeg or libav (such as QuickTime, AVI, WMV, MPEG, and Flash Video, among others), and also supports 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios for both PAL, NTSC and various HD standards, including HDV and AVCHD. Video can also be exported to DV devices, or written to a DVD with chapters and a simple menu.

Visual effects include options for masking, blue-screen, distortions, rotations, colour tools, blurring, obscuring and others. Configurable keyboard shortcuts and interface layouts. Rendering is done using a separate non-blocking process so it can be stopped, paused and restarted. Kdenlive also provides a script called the Kdenlive Builder Wizard (KBW) that compiles the latest developer version of the software and its main dependencies from source, to allow users to try to test new features and report problems on the bug tracker. Project files are stored in XML format. An archiving feature allows exporting a project among all assets into a single folder or compressed archive.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.

    • 007 First Light review: Satisfying spy adventure that James Bond needed

      By Nick H. · Posted

      So after some fiddling I was able to get it to run at a pretty stable 30FPS. I'm slightly surprised about how much fiddling I had to do to get there though given what I thought was reasonable hardware: Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics Memory: 16 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon 780M Graphics Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon RX 7700S I think I could do it better if I use Linux rather than Windows, Windows RAM usage is stupid without stripping the system down. But once I got it working in a reasonable state, it was so awesome! I felt like a new Bond! If anyone has any advice to get things going a bit smoother FPS-wise, I'd appreciate it.
