Though I have decidedly mixed feelings about continuing to watch Doctor Who, especially since I was so disinterested in Series 8 that though I watched it I can't even remember it ...

I can't see the shows until the DAY AFTER they air on BBC-America, as we have to buy them from iTunes.

NO SPOILERS!

First of all, let me say, you will die in a fire if you reveal anything about the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special. I've been in the store all day, and have to wait for it to show up on iTunes sometime around 2-3am ET (yes, I'm staying up for it! of course I am!). That said ( Read more... )

A gaming company has created a game that is basically the Time War.

I don't usually recommend fan vids. But this one showed up on various friends' LJs starting two days ago, and I've rewatched this something like five times already. I never do that, guys. The vidder has mad skillz -- and it's a brilliant legacy of Ten (and Nine ( Read more... )
