‘Star Trek Continues’ Review #1 – ‘Pilgrim of Eternity’

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

This year, it’s the 60th anniversary of ‘Star Trek’! 🙂 To celebrate the occasion, I’ve decided to do individual reviews on the episodes of the fan-made series ‘Star Trek Continues’, which was released from 2013 to 2017. Back in 2024, I did a quick review on ‘Star Trek Continues’ after having seen all the 11 episodes on YouTube. It’s nice to revisit this series, as it feels so authentic in being like the original ‘Star Trek’ TV series with Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, Dr. McCoy and Scotty. I wanted to celebrate the original ‘Star Trek’ TV series specifically for its 60th anniversary and doing individual reviews on the episodes of ‘Star Trek Continues’ is a great way for me to do it. 🙂 Continue reading →

Leave a reply

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

Here we are on the third and final story in the ‘Warriors’ Gate and Beyond’ anthology! The first story was ‘Warriors’ Gate’ itself, where I checked out the 2023 Target novelization along with the 2019 Target audiobook and updated my review accordingly. The second story was the 2021 exclusive-to-audio episode ‘The Kairos Ring’, which is part of the ‘Beyond the Doctor’ audio series and was later included in prose form in the ‘Warriors’ Gate and Beyond’ anthology. Today, the third story is an original and exclusive prose-only short story called ‘The Little Book of Fate’. Continue reading →

– – – BRAND NEW REVIEW – – –

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

Happy Birthday Millie! 🙂

It’s Christmas time! 🙂 Yeah, okay, we’re in June, not December, but I rarely share my reviews on ‘Doctor Who’ Christmas Specials at Christmas time. 😀 And with the latest news we had on the 2026 ‘Doctor Who’ Christmas Special being cancelled, it’s only fair that we revisit and do an in-depth review on the previous ‘Doctor Who’ Christmas Special, which was released in December 2024, called ‘Joy to the World’ by Steven Moffat. I did my latest in-depth review on ‘Joy to the World’ based on its release in the Series 15/Season Two DVD box set of ‘Doctor Who’. The special stars Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor and as well as this being the second and final Christmas Special of the Fifteenth Doctor era, it’s also the second and final Christmas Special of the neo-Russell T. Davies era. The special also stars Nicola Coughlan as Joy Almondo, who is the Doctor’s one-off companion. There’s also Jonathan Aris as Melnak, Joel Fry as Trev Simpkins and Steph de Whalley as Anita Benn. The special also includes a guest cameo of Millie Gibson as Ruby Sunday. 🙂 Continue reading →
