Where Do Time Lords Go When They Die?

hamlet

I’ve heard it said by oldbie Whovians, you never forget your first Doctor. Christopher Eccleston was technically my first, and he was brilliant, but there was always something…untouchable about him. David Tennant then came along as the Tenth Doctor, and the Doctor became a sort of warm and fuzzy, fun, squee-able character. *cue groaning and [...]

A Horrible Sequel

doctor-horrible

So they say the Whedons are making us a sequel, to Billy’s tale of laughter, love and loss. About time. So they say it’s a movie, so fantastic! They’ve…er…signed it..? K. Stopping now! But, a fan’s gotta do what a fan’s gotta do… *is hushed by a terrible death-whinney* Chances are you need no introduction [...]

Ashes to Mars

samalex

Legend has it that when you die, your whole life flashes before your eyes.
Is it true? Real? And how long will those flashes take – will you be technically in limbo while you mentally relive your regrets and successes?

No, this isn’t a dark article about death. Or an article to campaign for some deceased scientist’s ashes to be transported to Mars. It’s about the BBC drama, Life On Mars, and it’s sequel, Ashes To Ashes.

Because I think they’re some of the most fantastic TV we’ve seen in the past 5 years. [...]

joss-glee

Because apparently I’ve been living under a rock for the past couple of months (well no, to be fair I may have been living under a rock for most of my life), back in October 2009 Joss confirmed that indeed the rumours were true: he would be directing one of the back nine episodes of [...]

Escaping Into Oblivion

oblivion2

It’s been a long day at work, and a tedious hike home. There’s dishes that need doing, dinner that needs thinking about, no toilet paper, the bin’s full, and I have two freelance web jobs that really need to be started… I spot the xbox360… “Oh all right. I’ll just play a couple of minutes.” [...]

Torchwood Season 4 – caught in the rift?

torchwood_children_of_earth

Shortly after the finale of Torchwood: Children of Earth, creator Russel T. Davies announced that he had a fourth season ready to go if that’s what people wanted.  YES IT’S WHAT WE WANT! (sorry for shouting, I’m very passionate about Torchwood). We were told on 12 November 2009 by RTD that Series 4 had been [...]

See you (soon?), Space Cowboy…

keanu-as-spike

I don’t pretend that I’m an expert when it comes to anime. I just know what I like. Cowboy Bebop, I like. It’s set in the not-so-distant future (2071), focussing on the adventures of a team of bounty hunters, who fly through space and catch contracts for bad guys on the good ship Bebop. With [...]

Spoilers! A River Song Study

river-song

River Song (played by Alex Kingston) first appeared to us in Steven Moffat’s Doctor Who series 4 contribution, Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead. During that episode, we were lead to believe that she is his future travelling companion and wife. And we believed her. She knows a lot about him, after all. She [...]

Twi-Hype

twihype

At the risk of sounding like yet another Twilight-basher from the get-go, let me explain upfront. Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight series have found a large market, and become very successful – nobody can deny this. I have read the books – all four, and the 12 online chapters of Midnight Sun. I had to, to see [...]
