In the United States when we hear the word “prom” or “proms” we think of high schoolers dressing up for a fancy dance. In the UK the word “proms” more commonly refers to a series of live concerts performed mainly at the Royal Albert Hall. More precisely, “The Proms” is short for The Henry Wood […]
He’s leaving, we have to accept that. We all knew this was coming, but there were hints, actually more than hints, that Matt Smith would stay on for one more series before parting ways with the TARDIS. Sadly, that’s not going to happen and there’s nothing we can do about it except to accept the […]
Doctor Who is known for having plenty of comical moments, even in the midst of galaxy-destroying scenarios. A fan favorite for providing many of those moments, especially this season, has been everyone’s favorite Sontaran Warrior/Nurse/Butler, Commander Strax. Played to comic perfection by actor Dan Starkey, he’s become the de facto poster child for misunderstanding and […]
The Cybermen are back (as if we ever doubted they would be) and have been given an upgrade, courtesy of writer Neil Gaiman. Gaiman’s first crack at penning an episode of Doctor Who was The Doctor’s Wife and it earned him a Hugo Award. It was also very original and entertaining, so it’ll be fun […]
It looks like next week is bringing us a good, old-fashioned ghost story with what will undoubtedly be a “True Who” twist involved. Even so, these previews have me ready to hide behind the sofa.

Having first appeared way back in 1967 and taking a final bow in 1974, the armored Martians are getting a thaw and make-over for this season’s “Cold War.” Take a gander at these trailers for the coming claustrophobic confrontation. This is the “Next Time” trailer […]
Even though Doctor Who “The Bells of Saint John” has yet to air here in the States, there are already a couple of trailers out for the next episode. Entitled, “The Rings of Akhaten,” the second installment in this new run of episodes has not only alien beings in it, but very alien landscapes. There’s […]
You’re probably familiar with TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) the nonprofit organization whose talks are viewed by countless individuals online. They’ve been around since 1984 (How Orwellian!) and have over 1,000 talks available online for free viewing. The speakers get a maximum of 18 minutes to present their subject matter in what is usually a very […]
We live in an awesome time when today’s technology can bring us computer-generated imagery of almost anything we can imagine and make it nearly indistinguishable from reality. Even with all the truly unbelievable vistas created using CGI, you still can’t beat the real thing. For example, the picture above is a Hubble Telescope image of […]
