The Impeccable End to a Near-Perfect Franchise (That Didn’t Even End) Bids a Temporary Farewell on Streaming

Very few franchises end in definitive fashion, and that’s truer than ever today when any property is capable of being dusted off and given a legacy sequel. However, it felt for the longest time as though Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade would indeed send the iconic title hero out in a blaze of cinematic glory. The third installment in the original trilogy literally sent the principal cast riding off into the sunset, and there was nary a better conclusion for any long-running film series to bow out on. And yet, there…

A fond farewell for Lightning cables? Let’s not forget Apple’s FireWire fiasco…

You might have heard the news recently that thanks to an EU directive, Apple is going to be forced to ditch the Lightning port and use USB-C instead (opens in new tab) in its iPhones from 2024 onwards. USB-C makes sense for so many reasons. The fact that every different smartphone manufacturer can currently use its own proprietary standard for charging and connecting means that the consumer suffers, as we have to buy extra adaptors and new cables when it would all be so much simpler if everybody used the same ones. …

Messy Farewell to Jodie Whittaker

Image: BBCThe era of the 13th Doctor is over, and it went out how ultimately much of Chris Chibnall’s time as Doctor Who’s showrunner went over the last four years: with moments of brilliance outshined by a plodding, unwieldy mess of narratives that threatened to dragits excellent star down with it. In that way, it’s perhaps a fitting finale, if an unjust one.“The Power of the Doctor,” the final outing of Jodie Whittaker’s 13th Doctor and Chris Chibnall’s run as Doctor Who’s showrunner, is, like a lot of the duo’s recent
