SciFi obsessed, loves Star Trek, Doctor Who, Transformers, and much more. Interested in continuity and canon but not wedded to it.

My latest essay is about the first NuWho #DoctorWho episode "Rose" scifidiaries.substack.com/p/what-did-w... I review the episode and consider what we learned about the worlds of Doctor Who in this episode.

Found a 1986 #Transformers UK storybook last week from a comic book shop. The story is a hardback with illustrations called "Deadly Paradise". I'd never heard of it before. It's similar in tone to the Ladybird books. The #TFWiki has details about it tfwiki.net/wiki/Deadly_.... I enjoyed the story!
