I’ve had several people recommend the Lost Fleet series to me. I’m a space opera fan, and space battles/military SF is an “easy read” for me. The books have proven to read pretty quickly.
Campbell has a great hook in this series with his hero, who has to reinstill tactics and an honorable code of conduct within ‘the good guys’. I’ve actually read the second in this series as well. The first arc goes six books and there are additional series for another fourteen books so I can keep going as long as I can find them!
I saw a quick blurb about this show and thought it would be a good one for my wife and I to watch together. With a six-episode first season it felt like there was an overall arc plotted for at least the two main characters.
I have enjoyed seeing Ncuti Gatwa as the 15th-ish Doctor, but as an honest reviewer I can’t say that I’ve enjoyed his overall arc. He plays the Doctor as a little -too- emotional, even a bit much with vulnerability. I think the Doctor is hitting some of the same problems the Superman has encountered over his 87-year existence. How do you make the stories about a god interesting after all this time? Part of that is the Companion’s-eye-view of the adventures. This season there’s been an overarching “get her home on time” refrain, which really didn’t even pay off until the next-to-last episode. All in all, I’d call this Doctor a very uneven telling.
