  • The Best of All Worlds..? Engaging ‘Picard’ makes it so…

    Retired Admiral Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) is happy – or at least content – to live out his days at the family vineyard, far away from the stars to which he once went boldly and from the institution of Star Fleet which he feels has lost its way.  His...
  • Our Fiends Electric: Who’s current war powers up…

    Nikola Tesla (Goran Visnjič) is a man with vision – sometimes fanciful, sometimes pragmatic but clearly a man ahead of his time. But when funding is pulled for his latest project, in no small part to the fearmongering of rival Thomas Edison (Robert Glenister), he thinks the day can’t...
  • Mindhunter S3 is a terrible thing to waste…

    A Mindhunter is a terrible thing to waste but it appears that anyone waiting for a third series of the critically-acclaimed Netflix series will not be brainstorming it for some time to come.  Though it’s not ‘cancelled’ the cast of the series, including Jonathan Groff, Holt McCallany and Anna Torv...
  • RIP: Stan Kirsch (Actor, Acting Coach…. Highlander’s ‘Richie Ryan’)

    From time to time, EchoChamber unfortunately has to report on the death of people in the entertainment industry – it is more rare that passing is of someone we know off-screen… I had the pleasure of meeting and sharing a stage with Stan Kirsch several times, mostly due to...
  • Who’s ‘Orphan 55’: Cut Price Vacation, too much baggage…

    With the Doctor still trying to process the news about Gallifrey – not to mention a rather drastic clear-up mess from a recent squiddish encounter (who knew it was mating season?) – perhaps there’s time for a holiday. Graham’s rather eager construction of a travel cube spirits the team...
  • ‘Short Trek’ – mute witness to ‘Picard’ prologue…

    Two young but very different Earth-based students Kima (Ilamaria Ebrahim ) and Lil (Sadie Munrie) separately receive communications from Mars. It appears that Kima’s mother is stuck working on anti-grav machinery on the red planet’s Utopia Plantation and won’t be coming back as promised, though they enjoy their interaction....
  • Marvel’s ‘New Mutants’ heads to April, no fooling…..

    Not all Marvel movies glide to the screen with the speed and efficiency of some recent blockbusters. We’ve covered The New Mutants as a viable release for over two years and it’s nearly been ‘completed’ that long with no release in sight. Originally due to be released by Fox...
  • Doctor Who: ‘Spyfall II’ Herstory in the Making?

    As Daniel Barton’s plane plunges to Earth – with Barton and the Master (for it is he!) safely beamed away and the Doctor finding herself between dimensions, it seems some quick and unlikely escapes are desperately needed. Both Ryan and The Doctor find help via unexpected people but that’s...
  • In for the Count: Moffat and Gatiss tackle ‘Dracula’…

    When Steven Moffat left Doctor Who it was not immediately clear what he would do next. A complete break from the Time Lord meant no more Tardis offerings and the show-runner had often spoken on the difficulty of co-ordinating schedules to get Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman back for...
