The worst thing that could possibly happen to a Doctor Who fan is for the show to be cancelled again. Or for it to be broadcast again. Depends who you ask, really.
Despite the advent of the 15th Doctor and the anticipation that brings, there are nagging doubts abroad concerning the show’s future. And that’s fair enough, really. Some fans are just naturally pessimistic, some remember previous crushed hopes around Doctor Who’s wilderness years, and some just look at the state of TV streaming and feel that pessimism is a fairly realistic outlook. It’s also not unreasonable to be concerned that David Tennant is kicking around somewhere, especially given that it was raised by the host during Gatwa’s recent appearance on The Graham Norton Show.
Then there are the folk who simply don’t like Russell T Davies’ writing on Doctor Who. A previous line...

Hologram Janeway sets up the theme of Star Trek: Prodigy Season 1 Episode 15 when she warns Dal as he leads the away team down to Noble Isle, "If it's too good to be true, it probably is."
This ends up applying to individuals like Okona and Asencia, technology like Dr. Jago's, and simplistic solutions like the orders given by Admiral Jellico (insert round of boos and hisses).
But the truth will out, and while the jury's out on Asencia's bomb of a reveal, our young crew feels stronger for Dal learning about his origins and Murf taking the literal next step in his development.
Also, who had a Romulan Tal Shiar hit squad on their bingo card? Were they on board the ship that halted the Dauntless? Or were they called in as soon as they intercepted Janeway's message to Jellico about the Protostar?
First, an admiral. Now, a Romulan hit squad?...

Sequel to comedy about a singing group of mates fortuitously brought to fame is likable enough but all too predictable
In 2019, Cornwall’s sea shanty group Fisherman’s Friends got the Full Monty treatment, when the story of how they hit the big time after a record exec discovered them singing down their local pub inspired a good-humoured harmless comedy. One the major charms of Fisherman’s Friends is their authenticity: a bunch of mates singing for pleasure and for each other is a world away from manufactured pop. So, it was a bit of shame that the original film had that slightly flavourless taste of a factory-made British feelgood comedy. That goes double for this sequel.
A chunk of the very likable cast is back. James Purefoy returns as lead singer Jim, who has hit the bottle after the death of his dad, Fisherman’s co-founder Jago, at the end of the first movie.
