    Dr. Who Season 4 Episode 11: "Turn Left" SPOILERS

    Damn, beat me to it again. :) I agree, was a great what if? story as to what would happen had the Doctor not been around to save humanity's collective ass from one crisis to the next. It also illustrates how important Donna's presence has been to the Doctor's continued existence. Though...

    Burn Notice

    My brother introduced me to this excellent show. He described it as a funnier Macguyver. Personally I think it's more of The Equalizer with a lot more comedy, as it's main character was a former spy and all. I just love the main character Michael Westin. Despite the fact that he deals with...

    Stan Winston passes away

    Truly. :( And to lose him right after his latest success with Iron Man. RIP Mr. Winston. Your work shall always be remembered.

    Doctor Who Season 4: The Darkness Revealed! (HUGE SPOILERS)

    Well here it is. The big baddie of the three part season finale. And it's name is DAVROS. The news can be found here . Hmm. While I still maintain that Davros is the lamest villain to ever appear on the show, I'm intrigued as to what Davies and the Who team can do with him. I just hope they...

    Dr. Who Season 4 Episode 10: "Midnight" SPOILERS

    Well, I must respectfully disagree with you, as I thought the Doctor's lack of control of the situation was what made this story so great. It's one of rare times where his veritable bag of tricks was wasted and to some extent aggravated the situation rather alleviating it. I've been very...

    Dr. Who Season 4 Episode 10: "Midnight" SPOILERS

    I must definitely agree with this. This time his superiority complex wasn't an asset, but a liability, and a dangerous one at that. It only served to make the rest of the passengers suspicious and downright hostile of him. And as I said, he has no answer to that.

    Dr. Who Season 4 Episode 10: "Midnight" SPOILERS

    Argh. Late again, chalk it up to a faulty connection (I hate my ISP), and having to service my comp (dirty fan). But WHOA. What a kicker. I definitely must agree with Grog, this is the best script Russell T. Davies has written for Doctor Who. He takes the standard plot trappings of the show...

    Doctor Who SE04 EP09: Forest of the Dead (spoilers)

    All right mate, you want to know why I don't like Davros? Here's why: I think by and large he's useless. That's right. Useless. There's no logical reason for me as to why this character should be still around when he'd served his purpose in Genesis. The guy opened a proverbial Pandora's Box upon...

    Doctor Who SE04 EP09: Forest of the Dead (spoilers)

    Ugh. I hope not. Davros is one of the lamest, if not the lamest villain in the entire Whoniverse. The Daleks themselves are very effective adversaries for the Doctor. No need to include their sorry excuse of a creator into the mix. While we're on the subject, I've also heard that Sarah Jane...

    Doctor Who SE04 EP09: Forest of the Dead (spoilers)

    Fleeing from the all consuming Vashtun Nerada, the Doctor along with Professor River Song and her team race through the Library to stay alive. Meanwhile, Donna awakes in a world where she meets the man of her dreams and lives her life with him and their children. But somehow, she doubts all...

    Dr. Who season 4 episode 8 "Silence in the Library"

    I just read up on the Wiki entry on this. Interesting premise, but a potential disaster if not handled right in my opinion. I'll admit it does opens up a lot of story possibilities, like the Doctor meeting up with River (ha! Guess Moffat is a Firefly fan!) in his future, and the both of them...

    Dr. Who season 4 episode 8 "Silence in the Library"

    My take on it? WARNING! SPOILERS AHEAD! She's probably the Library computer's A.I. I don't think she's one of the people who disappeared a 100 years ago. It wouldn't make sense as the episode focuses on her heavily and delivers a ton of hints as to what she is and how she can affect what...

    Dr. Who season 4 episode 8 "Silence in the Library"

    ARGH... Beat me to it, Felon. ;) Another great one from the Moff, which laid a little worry I've had to rest. What you may ask? Well how in the world do you follow up The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances, The Girl in the Fireplace, and Blink? But as I said, it was just a small worry. Time and...

    This Weekend @ the Boxoffice: 2008.May.27

    But all the ambition and achievement in the world won't mask the fact that it's a bad movie (according to the critics). I don't watch a film to behold a filmmakers ambition, I watch a film to be entertained. Hell, I'll use one of the Wachowski's works as an example. Back in 1999, there was no...

    Christopher Tolkien aims to stop 'The Hobbit'

    Yes, I read that as well. But according to his letters, JRR Tolkien was keen on seeing The Lord of the Rings on the big screen, provided it was done justice. There's a long account of a visit to his home by Forrest J Ackerman, who wanted to adapt the books himself and hired a screenwriter...

    Christopher Tolkien aims to stop 'The Hobbit'

    Much as I agree with Christopher Tolkien over his outrage over New Line not giving their fair share of the movie's profits to his father's estate, I find his opposition to the making of The Hobbit films to be in bad taste. Yes I realize he wants to protect his father's work from bastardization...

    This Weekend @ the Boxoffice: 2008.May.27

    Well I've not seen the movie in question, so I really can't judge. But where the Wachowski's are concerned, I find critics are more or less on the mark when the bad reviews start rolling in. For the record, I still haven't forgiven the brothers for the crapfest that was The Matrix Revolutions...

    This Weekend @ the Boxoffice: 2008.May.27

    I wonder how Indy will fair on it's 2nd week? It's not a bad movie, but I don't think the crowds are gonna line up to see it again. Iron Man on the other hand, continues to amaze me. I never imagined it would do this well, let alone become the biggest movie of the summer season. Nice to see...

    Iron Man

    Good lord, how I hated Ultimate Iron Man. It seemed to me Card just chucked out all the classic elements of ol' Shellhead in favor of writing a Marvel Comics version of Ender's Game. Horrendous.
