Wonder Woman

Did I say how I thought Batman V Superman was a long prologue for a cameo by Wonder Woman Well lets get it over with. I have a huge crush on Gal, she is just gorgeous.  A star is born. The scene where she is walking about London in a fur coat, and leather underwear comes off as sexier then a lot of nudity or sex scenes. I did not realize Gal  she was in the ``Fast and Furious'' franchise. I have never watched any of those films.   I was simply impressed  indeed I was smitten  Gal carried off Diana's simple  faith in the sureness of goodness-If I kill Ares, Men will be good.  Her naivety If I kill Ares... her childlike delight in the taste of Ice cream. How she defers towards Lucy Davis rather then Trevor When I saw German troops running up a beach...Oh if only it had been the Banna Strand. I also wondered how many people Collins would kill, in the UK war council I did not recognize Lucy Davis -Dawn from the UK version of the office. Though she performed well in her

The Key to Time

To be honest I was not really impressed. To be honest I am not sure Tom Baker is my favorite Doctor  I am glad they ( The Dr Who Team ) did something different.  Change can be good for example how the Daleks are over used in Modern Who. The Key to Time and the 6 connected stories that make it up  run out of steam after the Androids of Tara After watching a bit of classic Who for a while. One begins to see the same faces,-the same repertory of actors who the BBC hired and fired for Dr Who, ``Some Mothers do ave em'', and Fawlty Towers. This is not bad but gets a bit boring  The Ribos Operation   -The Doctor is given his duty by the White Guardian who is nursing a green liquid in a brandy glass What is it ? Crème de Menthe? -Absinthe?   Anyway the Doctor and his new nubile assistant  They fly to the planet of Ribos There they meet a Mummerset speaking con man. Mummerset- Fake West Country or Rural English accent that is not Yorkshire   There are some nice character touches
