Really, where did he get that cup of tea?
Mercy me! (See what I did there?) What a crazy start to a season! While The Magician’s Apprentice was all laughs and set-up, The Witch’s Familiar was deep, with a lot of payoff, something that’s refreshing to modern Whovians, to put it charitably.

Snaaaaaaaake eater!
In 2004, the James Bond franchise was in a transitional period. Two years earlier, the disastrous Die Another Day had taken Pierce Brosnan from the cool intrigue and character development in Goldeneye to a CGI-overloaded sci-fi action movie that rivaled Moonraker in terms of sheer campiness.

The Doctor is back, along with an old nemesis, an old friend, and Clara.
After a seemingly interminable hiatus, we are back with a BANG. The Doctor Who series 9 premiere brings back a lot of greatest hits, raises a lot of heavy questions, and leaves us wanting more. Let’s grab our sonic screwdrivers and take it apart, shall we?

A pretty silly name, or is it?
Ever since the title of the prequel-spinoff of The Walking Dead was announced, the reaction to it has been pretty universal. It’s too long and unwieldy. Who the hell is gonna say all that?

Mission accomplished
Right now I’m typing this with one hand (get your minds out of the gutter) because in my other hand I hold something extremely dear to me (again, out of the gutter.
