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 [...]

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. [...]

Can’t Stop The Browncoats in the Fight for Equality

csts

You don’t get much more dedicated than Firefly fans. With only 12 episodes aired prior to Fox’s fateful cancellation decision in 2002, it must seem insane to many that it still generates so much support and enthusiasm. But it was this devotion, of Firefly‘s fans, creators, and contributors (and massive DVD sales) that enabled Serenity [...]
