    The "Rabid Wolverine" found dead

    I've long suspected that the wrestling biz is a tough profession and that some people end up being consumed by the darker aspects of it. For every success story like Hulk Hogan and Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson, there are tragedies like Jake the Snake Roberts and Davie Boy Smith. Hell, I never...

    Doctor Who 2007: The Sound of Drums

    Well, I've not seen Planet of the Spiders yet, but I am familiar with the character of K'anpo Rinpoche. But I'll take your word for it that Kanpo was able to control his regeneration. One question though, was that scene at least treated seriously and not like Romana's regeneration? Seriously...

    The "Rabid Wolverine" found dead

    Completely shocked, stunned, and greatly saddened by this news. :( Seriously, I didn't find out about this till a few minutes ago. To have such a great athlete and consummate professional like Chris Benoit just go away like that is shocking to say the least. That his family died as well just...

    Doctor Who 2007: The Sound of Drums

    Like some Who fans, I take Romana's regeneration being cannon with a grain of salt. If you'll recall, Romana's change only happened because Mary Tamm became pregnant and she had to be replaced with Lalla Ward. Since it was so abrupt, the show's makers decided to play it for laughs. It was so...

    Doctor Who 2007: The Sound of Drums

    Uh... you do realize that he just regenerated no? So of course he'd be different from the Master you'd know, much like David Tennant's Tenth Doctor is different from Chris Eccleston's Ninth. Besides, as I said before, the Master should be in essence the Doctor's dark reflection. So of course...

    Doctor Who 2007: The Sound of Drums

    Well thanks for agreeing with me on that point Cthulhudrew. Cause for me it's the only conclusion that makes sense. Remember when the Doctor asked who the Toclafane were? He responded by saying: Master: My dear Doctor, if I told you, both your hearts would break. SPOILERS So in light of that...

    Doctor Who 2007: The Sound of Drums

    Well, aside from my dissatisfaction with which how this followed the previous episode, I thought this was a cracking good show! :D John Simm is fabulous! Love his take on this cheeky and maniacal Master, which provides a nice counterpoint to Tennant's cheeky and often manic Doctor. Oh, and let...

    Doctor Who 2007: Utopia (Major Spoilers)

    I thought the new Cybermen were quite all right, and hope to see them again soon. That said, I wouldn't mind a return of the original Mondas Cybermen, if only to show how much more vicious and dangerous they've become since their absence. Okay, I'll admit that those two episodes were much...

    Doctor Who 2007: Utopia (Major Spoilers)

    On the subject of Russel T. Davies: I don't think he's all that bad. I certainly don't think that all the episodes he's written were all crap. Rose was a great reintroduction to Doctor Who, and End of the World was a decent follow up. It's when he starts conceptualising is when his writing...

    Doctor Who 2007: Utopia (Major Spoilers)

    :confused: Oh dear god... Don't give RTD any ideas! But then... wouldn't that be just the most evil thing? Think of it, at Season 3's end the Master is defeated but transfers his essence to Jack's immortal body. He then returns to Torchwood and proceeds to f**k around with the team to further...

    Doctor Who 2007: Utopia (Major Spoilers)

    In response to this, I don't think it was stupid of her. How was she to know that this Time Lord was the arch nemesis of her beloved Doctor? Martha likely had pretty good intentions when she pointed out the watch to him, perhaps to give some hope to the Doctor of one of his kind surviving.

    Doctor Who 2007: Utopia (Major Spoilers)

    WOOHOO! The Master of All is Back! :D First off though, some nitpicks. This episode wasn't all that impressive for me. It all felt like some big setup for that big plot twist at the end. I wasn't much convinced nor scared at the futurekind humans. They felt like rejects from the Road Warrior...

    Fantastic Four 2: Rise of the Silver Surfer (spoilers)

    Um, that's Jessica Alba BTW. And yes, I do agree that casting her as Sue Storm was one of the biggest mistakes the filmmakers made. :\ Damn it, personally I don't think there's anything wrong with casting star power to help bolster a movie's profile. But good lord, is it too much to ask to...

    Best Fantasy comics?

    All superhero comics are more or less "fantasy" in a sense. But if we were to go strictly into the fantasy genre (magic, gods, elves and the sort) of comics, I can think of a number of examples: Sandman by Neil Gaiman - Well duh. Anyone who reads fantasy seriously has to have at least read or...

    Supergirl on Smallville

    Personally I think Smallville's been jumping the shark since it's inception. :p

    Marvel Universe - update me?

    :o I forgot about that. Thanks for reminding me. However, I still think Bucky is a much better "man out of time" character than Jack Monroe ever was, for the sheer fact that his lost years were pretty tragic. Bucky didn't spend all his time in cryo suspension like Jack did, he was brainwashed...

    Supergirl on Smallville

    :confused: Ay Madre Dios! Sounds like they're basing her character on the Kara Zor-El who currently appears in the new Supergirl comic. You know, the one with the exposed midriff and the angsty emo attitude? Argh. And with Jeph Loeb being one of the producers of the show (and the one who in fact...

    Alison Krauss is a babe! Oh, and her music rocks too...

    Seriously, I love this woman. She has the most beautiful set of pipes that I've heard in a long time. Her voice and bluegrass sound are a refreshing antidote to all the generic and manufactured garbage I hear on the radio nowadays. Granted, I'm a little late on the bandwagon here, since she's...

    Marvel Universe - update me?

    While it's too bad he had to die, I never really cared much for Jack Monroe. Though I'll admit that issue Brubaker wrote about him was a fitting send off. And really, Bucky is a much more interesting character in the long run. Like Cap, he's a man out of time, but with the added burden of...

    Doctor Who 2007: Blink

    I think it was more of the reason that if the Doctor returned Billy and Cathy to the present, it would have messed up with the sequence of events that would have enabled Sally to defeat the Angels in the first place. Thus ridding any chance of getting the Tardis back in 1969. Remember, Billy was...
