William Russel, who played Ian Chesterton on Doctor Who passed away yesterday at 99.
Hartnell's run as the Doctor was far from my favorite. But it still hits hard since Ian was one of his first companions.
I'm rewatching Neon Genesis Evangelion now. Back in high school, it was the first anime I watched from start to finish even though I had no idea what the hell to make of the ending. I decided to give it another go after watching Totally Not Mark's review. And after reading up on the lore of the series, I'm sure that I won't be completely clueless this time around. That , and I've grown to appreciate character-driven stories, especially ones that show how their flaws impact their relationships with other people.
I finished the Resident Evil 4 remake a few days ago. I never got around to finishing the original for some reason, but I really liked it. The remake was no different. I'm probably in the minority when I say that I welcome the shift from survival horror to more of an action game. But from what I gather, 5 and 6 were far less successful in that regard. It's still plenty challenging, but in a good way. Though, I was pretty close to rage quitting during the Ramon boss fight.
I started Spider-Man 2 last night. Most of my knowledge on Spider-Man is limited to the movies, but I've read a bit of the original Lee/Ditko run. But so far, it's more of the same that I loved from the original. I sometimes vacation in New York, so it's fun to explore the city there and see if I can spot any of the places I've been to.

Richard Sherman, best known for the music he composed for Disney passed away today.
Just saw Space Babies. And yeah, it was a pretty dumb episode. The humor felt a little too childish for something like Doctor Who, which I guess I should have expected given the title. I don't think we'd really seen anything like that since the farting aliens back in Eccleston's run. But for me, it was one of those so-bad-it's-good episodes, up there with Paradise Towers for me.
I'm not entirely sold on Ncuti Gatwa yet. But that's really par for the course for me when it comes to new actors playing the Doctor. It usually takes a season for me to warm up.
It's coming next month.
I remember watching a few episodes of the original series back when it aired on Fox Kids and liking it fine. Guess I'll be spending the next few days on Disney Plus.
Just finished the demo, and the scenes in the reactor are far creepier than in the original. And Sephiroth's slow descent into madness was genuinely unnerving.
