The Doctor Who episode of The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson was absolutely terrific and geektastic. Unfortunately, they didn’t do the cold open that was originally planned, apparently because the show couldn’t get the rights to do the Doctor Who theme music. On the show, Craig Ferguson mocked worry and anger about the cold [...]
I love going to the movies. I love sitting in a big, darkened theater, a box of popcorn in my hand, watching coming attractions and films. I love that I’m sharing this experience with a group of strangers. I love the way things look on the big screen. But… I don’t go to the movies [...]
There’s a moment in the most recent episode of Smallville that took my breath away and put a big smile on my face. It’s one of those moments that pushes my Gee-Whiz buttons and tugs at the heartstrings of my inner child. I was thinking recently about how Smallville, now in its tenth and final [...]
“Bow ties are cool.” I watched the premiere of the latest series of Doctor Who, “The Eleventh Hour,” the other day. As I’ve mentioned before, David Tennant’s Doctor is my favorite, but I wasn’t very happy with how his run ended. Still, Matt Smith had some big shoes to fill as the Doctor. And Karen [...]
I’ve written before about what a fan I am of DC Comics’ Justice Society of America and I’ve made no secret that when I came up with the name and logo for the Library Society of the World, I was heavily influenced by superhero comics, especially the JSA. Right, so… Last Friday night, the CW [...]
I finally got to sit down at a friend’s house and watch the three most recent Doctor Who specials, “The Waters of Mars” and “The End of Time” parts 1 and 2. I want to talk about them, but I want to avoid spoiling them for people who haven’t seen them yet, so…more thoughts after [...]
After watching the Doctor Who Easter special, “Planet of the Dead,” something buzzing around in the back of my head leaped out and said, “Aha!” I’ve consciously realized one of the things I love about the new Doctor Who show. It’s not just science fantasy that’s rooted in the mundane, it’s science fantasy that celebrates [...]
This isn’t a review of the most recent Doctor Who Christmas Special (although I will say that I quite liked it and thought David Morrissey was very good) but my thoughts on the announcement of the actor to play the Eleventh Doctor. I was not familiar with Matt Smith before today. Personally, I was sort [...]
In 1997, CBS produced a pilot for a Justice League of America TV show. It was apparently never aired in the US, which is probably one of the main reasons I only just recently even learned about it. I managed to get a copy of it and watched it last night. Boy, am I glad [...]
David Tennant is leaving Doctor Who at the end of 2009? What? What? I have mixed feelings about this. Tennant is my favorite Doctor. His portrayal of the Doctor is exactly how I want the character to be portrayed. Plus, David Tennant is around my age, grew up loving the show, still loves the show [...]
