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). I had my favorite comics shop, Local Heroes order Gaiman’s The Tragical Comedy of Mr. Punch which is probably one […]

Torchwood: US Branch…

The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Fox is looking to bring Torchwood to US audiences. 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. However, unlike most US versions of British shows, Torchwood will be retaining […]

Not Just the Doctor’s Companion…

After seeing the new trailer for Doctor Who I got to thought, “Ah, the new companion is a cop.” Made sense why in one scene the Doctor is holding a gun. But one thing that got me was a pic of the character Amy Pond wearing the uniform but with a miniskirt! Well Digital […]

The End of TIme Part Two Review…

Wow. Still really can’t believe it’s over. I first got into “Doctor Who” because the Sci-Fi Channel was showing a marathon of episodes on Labor Day back in 2006. These where the Ninth Doctor Episodes as at the time we had to wait a year until we saw the newer shows. I came in […]

The End of Time Part One Review…

Okay, so this is it. The beginning of the end for the Tenth Doctor. I’m almost hesitant to do a review solely because I really feel this episode is just the setup. It’s a lot of exposition getting ready for the big finale. The people of Earth are all having nightmares about the Master, […]
