The Time of Angels Review…

Sorry about the delay for the review, been real busy lately. Like making the above video (if you haven’t watched it yet the sound for the dialog is a bit weak, don’t know why that is, so adjust volume if need be).
ANYway… This episode has probably had one of the best openers yet. River Song […]

Neil Gaiman Pens for Doctor Who

Yes! Neil “Freakin’” Gaiman! My favorite movie of 2009 was Coraline. I’ve read the book as well as The Graveyard Book. I can just about quote MirrorMask verbatim (even made a little music video).

Now after our little April Fool’s Day joke it may look like I’m just crying wolf, but I assure you, this one I did not make up.
