Throwback Tuesday takes us back 25 years to a film that begins with the destruction of Earth but ends with hope on a new world. The final film of Don Bluth‘s run offering an animation alternative to the far more successful Disney, Titan A.E. stars Matt Damon as a displaced and disaffected human working on alien salvage rigs who is sought out by Korso (Bill Pullman) and his crew who believe Cale‘s genetic heritage is the key to finding a lost spaceship built and hidden by Cale’s father (Ron Perlman) during the destruction of Earth by the alien menace of the Drej.

In what feels a little like an anthology series spliced together into a single film, Predator: Killer of Killers gives us three separate tales of humans each besting Predator attacks in different locales and time periods before uniting together in a Predator arena to fight it out and prove who the best, the killer of killers you might say, is.

“The Reality War” marks the end of the season, the end of The Rani (Anita Dobson), and the end of Ncuti Gatwa‘s run as The Doctor. After being saved by Anita (Steph de Whalley) who will play a pivotal role in bringing back the real memories of The Doctor’s allies at U.N.I.T., The Doctor turns his attention to stopping The Rani and her plans to release Omega () from his prison and use his DNA to recreate the Time Lords in her image. The Rani gets a bit more than she bargained for when the show goes a bit over-the-top offering us a CGI skeleton monster (certainly different than the character’s other appearances). Meanwhile, Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson) is given the crucial assignment of getting the baby which will be needed to permanently set the world right.

  • Title: Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld – The Good Life
  • wiki: link

With the Asajj Ventress arc complete, the show turns its attention to a new character from The Clone Wars. “The Good Life” acts as a backstory for Cad Bane (A.J. LoCascio) who we meet as a child living on the streets with his best friend Niro (Eric Lopez). The pair are taken advantage of by the leader of a gang (who looks an awful lot like who Cad Bane will grow up to be) who entices them to help out on a heist starting one’s life in crime while the other is caught by authorities. Fans of Cad Bane looking for information on where the character started are likely going to enjoy this one the most, although it’s certainly still serviceable for those of us a bit perplexed by the choice of characters for this series.

Doctor Who – Wish World

After a goofy episode involving an intergalactic song contest which is only notable for revealing Mrs. Flood (Anita Dobson) to be The Rani and then introducing Archie Panjabi as her latest regeneration, The Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) and Belinda Chandra (Varada Sethu) awake back on Earth, although not the one they left. Playing into the revolving gods arc, The Rani has use a newborn god to made changes to the world that still leaves doubts and cracks to the real world underneath (which, apparently is the point). The Doctor’s fake life is shaken by a meeting with Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson) and an message from Rogue (Jonathan Groff) and begins to doubt the world around him (although it will take a full episode before we see The Doctor back to himself).
