Will We Get All 11 Doctors Together For The Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special?

Derek

This bit of news/rumor came from the Blogtor Who blog and was immediately taken down which tends to lend more credence to it being true than not. I’m sure some inventive effects will be used to deal with the fact that some of the actors who portrayed The Doctor over the years have passed on and then some wibbly wobbly timey-wimey stuff will need to be done to explain how all of the Doctors can be in the same place at the same time. But if all of the living actors will indeed be gathered together then I will be a truly happy … Continue reading Will We Get All 11 Doctors Together For The Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special?

Oodles of Doctor Who Goodness

Derek


The annual Doctor Who Christmas Special will be here before you know it and the fine folks at BBC (during the Children in Need charity special) have been kind enough to not only deliver some stills from the special but also the prequel minisode (featuring a trio of my favorite Who supporting characters) and the full trailer for the special.

The Daily Nerdgasm: Inspector Spacetime Ep.1

Derek

If you are a fan of the genius NBC comedy COMMUNITY then you are well aware of the time traveling Inspector Spacetime. if you are not a COMMUNITY  fan (and if this is the case I cast all sorts of aspersions in your general direction) then let me break down Inspector Spacetime for ya. On COMMUNITY, two of the characters, Troy and Abed, are gigantic geeks with a love of all things sci-fi. Chief among their sci-fi fan geekery is the longrunning British sci-fi show Inspector Spacetimie, about a long lived alien who travels around through space and time in a red telephone booth (named the D.A.R.S.I.T.) with his human associates.  Sound familiar? Whoever could Inspector Spacetime be based on?
Well, the metafictional character has leaped from the COMMUNITY universe to the Interwebs with a live action webisode that is more fun than I expected it to be. Check it out after the cut.

The Best And Worst Doctor Who Companions

Derek

With a new Companion (the lovely Jenna-Louise Coleman) set to debut in the upcoming Doctor Who Christmas special and the latest season of Doctor Who set to air this September, I thought it would be a good time to take a look at the best and worst of the many people to travel alongside The Doctor in his TARDIS.

Trailer of The Day: Doctor Who Series 7

Derek


Doctor Who returns this fall (with new episodes airing on BBC America on the same day they air in the UK on BBC proper) and I can’t wait.
And the possibility of a dead Amy Pond just makes me want this series to hurry up and start even more.
Click on through to see the trailer.

5 Underrated UK Shows You Should Check Out

Derek

LUTHER

If you are a fan of Idris Elba and have wanted to see him in something more like his breakout role as Stringer Bell in the amazing HBO series The Wire (as opposed to playing Nicolas Cage’s sidekick in Ghost Rider or his thankless role in Prometheus) then I suggest you seek out his amazing psychological crime-drama Luther.
Detective Chief Inspector John Luther is an absolute mental mess of a man who has no issues with cutting corners or doing shady things in order to close a case. And the relationship between Luther and suspected murderer Alice Morgan (played remarkably by Ruth Wilson) is one of the most intriguing I have seen on an TV show. Luther and Morgan’s sexually charged game of cat-and-mouse drives most of the first season of the show and would be more than enough to justify watching the show.

Good, Bad & Ugly Review: Doctor Who – Let’s Kill Hitler

Derek

Synopsis: This episode kicks off the second half of the sixth season of the Doctor Who series that was relaunched in 2005. The show left off earlier this year with The Doctor and his married companions Amy and Rory discovering that their comrade-in-arms, (the very much adult) River Song, is in fact Amy and Rory’s daughter. Long story short…River was kidnapped soon after her birth by the Doctor-hating religious cabal known as The Silence and the Doctor has vowed to rescue little Melody Pond from their evil clutches if its the last thing he does.
