[ship-o-rama]

Name: USS Archon

Registry: NCC-189

Affiliation: Starfleet

Year: 22nd Century

Background: Sent to Beta III to establish and observe of the first Deep Space Colonies. The Colony was powered by a prototype AI invented by the head of Starfleet's Advanced Research Division, Doctor Cornelius Landru. His true goal was an experiment in population control where he would rule the populace as a god. When Landru's true plans were revealed the crew of the Archon tried to stop him, but Landru's technology was so powerful it pulled the Archon from the sky. The only survivors were those on the ground who had not yet succumbed to Landru's control. They built a temple to Landru out of Archon's remnants. The entire mission was scrubbed from Starfleet records and only existed in rumour.

When they inevitably make a marvel dc crossover movie, will it be a sharing situation like disney has with sony over spiderman, or will it be because disney and warner bros merge into one giga-conglomerate? I say merge because I think of them as roughly equal in scope, but let's be honest, it would be disney buying wb, not the other way around.

Hey, remember back in 2008 when WALL-E showed us a ludicrous world where a single company took over the entire planet and made it hostile to all life as we know it and held humanity hostage for centuries with brain numbing distractions to keep them docile? Crazy, right? That could never happen, certainly not by the 2100s!

You Aren't In Kansas Any More ...

I left this world back in 2023, and I said at the time, rather tongue-in-cheek, that I’d like to return in 100 years and see what my country and the rest of the world would look like then.  In 2023, the United States was in turmoil, stopping just short of complete chaos, but certainly not far from it.  There was a group in Congress calling themselves the “Freedom Caucus” who stood for everything…

Dr Who: Day of the Daleks

I rewatched this serial on 9 February 2023. Back in the day, I read the novelisation. IIRC it was one of the serials that was repeated a few times during my childhood in Australia. 

Five years after their last appearance as antagonists in a Dr Who story and they are back, in the first tale of season 9, which aired over four weeks during January 1972. Yes, I’m talking about the Daleks: their return heralded by the serial’s title. This lot are aided and abetted by humans and Ogrons.

We begin with an old toff guarded by a UNIT soldier. The toff is attacked by a guerrilla who disappears. UNIT is brought in because the old toff is Sir Reginald Styles, who is organising a peace conference. The world is revealed to be on the brink of war — a not too distant threat for audiences tuning in on first broadcast. So, the Doctor and Jo, and UNIT, rock up to the mansion to check out the reported “ghosts”. Poor Jo is terrified. Meanwhile, the Doctor scoffs gorgonzola cheese and a red wine. He’s worked out its crude form of time travel, and he’s right. We hope back and forth two centuries a few times.

I’ve always enjoyed this serial, and it holds up on repeated viewings. One of the reasons why is because the guerrillas get the history wrong, and they mistake the Doctor for Styles. History isn’t empirical truth, but is an interpretation of evidence left behind. Aside from that, the plot is entertaining even if it isn't all that sophisticated, I love the Daleks. There are quite a few women in active roles in this tale, although there's not a lot of other diversity seen in the humans.

Continuity fun: the Daleks got time travel the third time the Doctor met them, and used it in pretty much every story between then and Evil of the Daleks, and yet in Day of the Daleks it’s a shocking new development for them 🧐

Sherlock Holmes is great because the adaptations are willing to be the weirdest ideas ever

Like. What if Watson was a robot and Holmes was preserved in ice for hundreds of years?

What if Sherlock Holmes was actually called Herlock Sholmes?

What if, and follow with me here, Sherlock Holmes and Wattson were mice and Moriarty was a rat?

I'm a big fan of stories set in the near future, less than 100 years out, especially when older characters reminisce about modern day the way my grandparents talk about the 50s, 60s, and 70s.

We don't think of ourselves as living in the sci-fi future because we don't have moon colonies or flying cars or replicators, but the fact that my generation grew up with smart phones and the internet boggles my mind; these advances would have been inconceivable to my parents when they were my age. Battery powered computers small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, with near unlimited access to the totality of human culture and knowledge 24/7 no matter where you are on the planet; I can talk to people on the literal opposite side of the globe, in real time, for free (well, actually for the cost of a monthly cell bill, but there are plenty of free wifi hotspots so even if I couldn't call people I'd still be able to get online whenever I needed to).

The future won't feel like the future once we get there, but looking back it'll be impossible not to notice how much has changed.

Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century is one of those things that sound extremely cringy and desperate, but then you watch it and it's lovingly made, and there was clear effort to mix the sci-fi elements with the old time character, make him accessible to kids, but also not talking down to them, and you go... "great, but no one would believe me"

Top 10 Portrayals of Inspector Lestrade

Having just finished my list of my favorite fictional detectives, I felt it was time to return to my absolute favorite of the bunch: Sherlock Holmes. In the past, I have done lists related to Holmes himself, as well as his friend and colleague, Dr. Watson, and his arch-nemesis, Professor Moriarty. I recently revisited those three countdowns to see if I would change anything, and…at the moment, no, I think they’re still pretty solidly set. HOWEVER, I’ve never gone over any of the other major characters in the Sherlock Holmes universe since those three. I haven’t covered his other allies, or any other noteworthy antagonists he faced. So, I decided it was time to fix that problem. These lists WILL have descriptions, but they’ll be very brief, partially just because I don’t have a TON to say about most of the characters/portrayals involved. We’ll start off with a Top 10 devoted to Scotland Yard’s most competent detective, Inspector Lestrade.

In the books, Lestrade is one of Holmes’ closest compatriots. While the super sleuth frequently interacts with various Scotland Yard officers, Lestrade is the most recurring, and has the most rapport with Sherlock. Their relationship is an…interesting one, to say the least. On the one hand, the two do care about each other, and there is some level of mutual respect under their respective, prickly surfaces. However, the pair bicker constantly, and always seem to be trying to one-up each other. Holmes concedes that Lestrade is probably the best detective at the Yard, but with the caveat that he is “the best of a bad bunch.” Lestrade, meanwhile, often tries to downplay Holmes’ unique skills in favor of boosting his own ego, and is forever frustrated by Sherlock’s antics. At the same time, he recognizes Holmes is very helpful to himself and the force, and for all his faults, he always manages to help the Inspector catch the crooks in the end. Indeed, the main reason Lestrade usually fails is because he ironically tends to jump the gun: he’s someone who fails to look at the big picture, or else notice the smaller details, which is what Holmes is very good at. If he just took his time more, he could probably get to the bottom of things more quickly…but Holmes can do all that in an instant, so it’s a good thing he’s hanging around. Different interpretations throughout adaptations and reimaginings of the Holmes universe have reinterpreted Lestrade in a number of ways (and with no less than two different pronunciations of his name; “Leh-strawed” seems to be the most common, but a couple choose to say “Less-trade”). Some versions of him are more comical and bungling, while some are more serious but still not quite as brilliant as Holmes. Some make the character more bullheaded and easily angered, while others make him more supportive and friendly. Many of the best find some sort of balance between these disparate elements; while he may not get the kudos that Holmes and Watson get, Lestrade is an interesting character in his own right, with a lot of layers writers, actors, and directors can play with. Having said that, here are some I particularly enjoy. So STOP IN THE NAME OF THE LAW! Here are My Top 10 Favorite Portrayals of Inspector Lestrade.

10. Frank Finlay, from A Study in Terror & Murder By Decree.

Finlay played Lestrade, by sheer coincidence, in two completely different films that have the same premise: Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper. He looks, sounds, and generally behaves exactly the same in both movies, too. It’s rather uncanny, really.

9. Eddie Marsan, from the Guy Ritchie Films.

In the first film, Lestrade is a major character, and the way they play with his relationship with Sherlock is surprising; it’s just a shame he’s little more than a cameo in the second film.

8. Jeffrey Jones, from Without a Clue.

Arguably the most bumbling version of the character on this list. However, since this movie is an outright comedy, I don’t mind this. Plus, Jeffrey Jones is just a lot of fun as an actor, in general.

7. Peter Madden, from the 60s BBC Series.

In some ways, I think this might be the most book-accurate take on Lestrade, especially in terms of physical appearance. Madden only played the character in the first season of the series; in the second season, actor William Lucas took over. Weirdly enough, Madden did appear in the second season playing a completely different character in one episode. Not really sure why he was recast.

6. Dennis Hoey, from the Universal Films.

Alongside Jones, the most bungling version of Lestrade, frequently used as comic relief. In most of the films - not all, but most - he makes Nigel Bruce’s infamously doofy Watson look like a genius in comparison. He’s a lot of fun, though, and the chemistry between the three performers is great every time.

5. Rupert Graves, from Sherlock.

Arguably the most serious version of Lestrade on the list. I love the sort of normalcy he brings to the crazy world of Holmes and Watson, and the way he’s able to just put up with all the nonsense Sherlock shoves onto him, as well as find ways to rein Holmes in.

4. Archie Duncan, from the 50s TV Series.

This Lestrade is able to be extremely funny without actually being a moron; while he always needs Holmes to help him out, it’s mostly just because he’s impulsive and hotheaded, and therefore doesn’t always think things through or notice the details Sherlock notices. (Just like in the books.) Duncan, like Peter Madden, would weirdly play other characters in the show BESIDES Lestrade, including a villain in one story. Very talented performer who was always good to see in action!

3. The Version from Moriarty the Patriot.

This is probably the most friendly and encouraging version of Lestrade on the list, though he still gets righteously annoyed with both Holmes AND Moriarty in the series. I love his energy and the integrity the character has in the show; like Holmes, he’s willing to bend the rules to see justice done, and will never give up no matter what, which explains why they like each other above all else.

2. Akiko Morison, from Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century.

This version is a female descendant of the original inspector, named Beth Lestrade. She actually was more of a standout to me in this show than Watson was! Once again, this version isn’t depicted is an idiot - she’s fiery, strong, and very good at her job, with great instincts. Her problem is that, once again, she doesn’t always pick up on the details or fully understand the situation, which leads to conflict and her need to have Holmes around.

1. Colin Jeavons, from the Granada Series.

The definitive take on Lestrade, just as Jeremy Brett was the definitive take on Holmes, in my opinion. Jeavons plays Lestrade as a slightly pompous and rather sarcastic police officer, but he also seems to be one of the versions of the character who has the best sort of relationship with Sherlock. I love the chemistry between the pair, and how they each seem to sort of admire each other, though neither will ever admit it. At the same time, that competitive rivalry between the two has rarely been showcased better. Altogether marvelous.
