Classic Who: 1. Favourite companion Jo or Liz? 2. Where does Roger Delgado's Master rank for you alongside the modern depictions of the Master? 3. How do you feel about the Doctor-Brigadeer dynamic at the moment? I personally feel like the Doctor could do with just giving the Brig a tiny tiny bit more respect.

Star Wars The Clone Wars: Question 1: A particular highlight of the show is Dee Bradley Baker’s outstanding voice work as the clones, more specifically one, his skilled imitation of Temuera Morrison and two, how he’s made each clone unique and distinctive with just the one voice. How would you some up your feelings on the voice work on the clones? Question 2: An aspect of the show that has been given significant attention thus far is Anakin’s protectiveness of those he loves and cares about such as Padmé, 3PO and R2, and Ahsoka, and how this is simultaneously one of his greatest strengths and one of his greatest weaknesses. What would you say is your opinion at the moment on Anakin’s protectiveness and is this something that you’d like the show to continue to focus on? Mad Max: Question 1: How would you compare and contrast Mel Gibson’s portrayal as Max versus Tom Hardy’s portrayal of Max? Question 2: So I’ve discovered that there are quite a few fan theories as to how all four films tie together into a shared continuity. Do you feel that the films work better being all one continuous story, or do you feel that the films work better as non-connected individual stories that do not share any explicit continuity? The Great Escape: The ending provides us with the line exchange, “Do you think it was worth the price?” “Depends on your point of view, Hendley” which I love in that it leaves you to reflect on that and decide for yourself how much of a victory it was for the escapees, if one even considers it a victory, and by extension how much of a happy ending is it really. Now that you’ve had a little time to reflect on it, if you could sum it up, how would you describe your read on the ending? General Star Wars question: More an observation, though there is a question: It occurred to me the other day that the two characters that are tied for your favorite Star Wars character, 3PO and Mando, one’s a droid that has the fixed expression; the other rarely takes off his helmet and thus you don’t see his face all that much. Despite that, the talent of both Anthony Daniels and Pedro Pascal is such they convey so much emotion and bring so much heart and soul to the characters that make you love them as much as you do, all without the use of facial expression. So my question is do you have any specific thoughts or comments as to the two men’s’ ability to do all that without relying on consistent facial expression? General MCU question: Whilst I have enjoyed how Spider-Man Far From Home, WandaVision, and Captain America and the Winter Soldier have showcased the state of the world post-Blip, I can’t help but wish that Marvel would delve into some storylines that take place within the five years between the Snap and the Blip. Would that be something you’d be interested in as well, if so, what would be some specific storylines that take place within that time period you’d like Marvel to tackle? General Disney questions: Question 1: So I’m well aware that The Lion King is your favorite Disney film. I was wondering are there specific reasons as to why that’s your favorite Disney film, and what might those reasons be? Question 2: Out of curiosity, do you have a favorite Disney song, if so, what would you say is your favorite Disney Song, and why?

Classic Who: You mentioned how much the troll doll from ‘Terror of the Autons’ was creeping you out. This story was actually deemed so scary that questions were asked in the UK Parliament about it’s scariness. The show had got a lot of complaints, at various points, from parents saying it was too frightening for children. This sort of thing doesn’t seem to happen anymore, it’s true that children these days could be exposed to a lot more media that’s much scarier than what they would have seen in the 1960’s and 70’s. In your opinion is Classic Who any scarier than 21st century Who and do you think either of them has ever gotten too scary? Also, I’m sorry you felt so bad for not getting the colour episodes of ‘The Mind of Evil’. On a similar topic; when you get to Season 9 ‘Day of the Daleks’ actually has a special edition that was made for the DVD. Same actors but it’s been re-edited as a full length movie, with the cliffhangers removed, more up to date effects and some extra bits of footage added in places. I’m not suggesting you react to this instead I’m just warning you this is out there, the 4 ep version is the proper 70’s version. I don’t know who gets the episodes for you, I just thought I’d bring it up now, as we’re still some way off Season 9. There were some other special editions made for some future stories, when they were released on DVD, mainly in the 80’s. If you are interested I can send you a list of stories that have Special Editions like this one, and maybe a reaction of the ‘Day of the Daleks’ Special Edition might be nice for the next Dr Who December, what do you think?

Supernatural 3x11 – 3x15: 1) There’s a lot of mixed impressions on Bela. She was obviously shady and corrupt and seemed out to get the boys a lot but, also, I feel like a part of her actually wanted their help and wanted to be more friendly - yet held herself back. Do you think she could’ve wanted to make some allies for once? And, if so, why didn’t she? Or maybe she just wanted to keep tabs on Dean as soon as soon as she found out he’d also made a demon deal? What did you make of her relationship with the brothers this season? 2) How much do you think Sam’s personality might have changed in the latter half of this season after his experiences in Mystery Spot? I think that after spending six months alone he felt a lot more desperate and even a little more ruthless in the lengths he was willing to go. How do you think the Trickster might have helped or hurt him by putting him through that experience? 3) I think he’s so conditioned to protect Sam over everything else that, if Sam’s life wasn’t in question, then Dean could’ve been more interested in finding a loophole. But I think this whole season is one of the first real instances in Dean’s life where he was forced to think about putting his own life first, before anyone else’s. How much do you think he was able to accept his potential death vs that desire to fight on that Sam was pushing him for? Fear the Walking Dead 6x10 – 6x14: 1) There's such a huge cast in the show right now but, personally, I do still love every single character, old or new. How have you liked the “anthology” style structure to Season 6, so that even though some characters get a lot less consistent screen time, they have a lot more character development when they do show up. Do you like how the show has been able to balance out its characters this season, especially as opposed to Seasons 4 or 5? And, assuming the show gets a seventh season, would you like to see a similar structure to its episodes? 2) Do you think there’s some cosmic irony/justice to Daniel's current path and condition? As in, as a man who spent his whole life lying to survive, he is now suffering from memory problems and is unable to trust even himself. What do you think about this direction for the character’s life? 3) When Alicia got separated from the group, what factors exactly do you think compelled her to be the one to (potentially) sacrifice herself. Do you think part of the character wanted to punish herself? Or maybe she was hoping the fire could let her die like her mother? It seems like Madison’s sacrifice has been playing on Alicia’s mind a lot recently, do you think there might a reason for that too? 4) Sherry’s desire to kill Negan, which we know from TWD she doesn’t succeed in, reminds me of how June actually does succeed in avenging her trauma by killing Virginia. Do you think killing Negan would actually help her, and do you think June feels healed from what she did? Do you think there’s potential for June to try and help Sherry overcome her struggles in the same way her and John helped Dwight overcome his? 5) What do you think about the way in which this seasons’ story has transitioned from Virginia to Teddy being the “big bad”? And how would you compare the two in terms of their villainy towards our heroes? Personally, I find Teddy a really fascinating antagonist in how, unlike characters like Negan or the Governor, he was always a sick and twisted individual and not just changed by the apocalypse. :)

I just realized when typing up the time stamps I didnt answer your general star wars question. I think I mentally grouped it together with Clone Wars. I shall try to remember to answer it next time. So sorry!
