What else could it have been? The Doctor waves his sonic screwdriver at some weedkiller and goes "FANTASTIC! UPGRADE WEEDKILLER! STUPID APES!"? Yup. The only sensible way for the plot to resolve itself and deal with the threat was "get a message to the military to bomb the ****er, th...

Yeah, the Doctor holding that gun is on about the same level as Matt Smith waving about a jammy dodger whilst telling Daleks that it's the remote control for the TARDIS' self destruct system. Not even sure that pistol was loaded, to be honest. The only other occasion I can recall in the story where ...

Mine should arrive tomorrow, I'm slightly nervous about it in that it sounds great, but it also doesn't sound very much like Doctor Who. You've not seen it? You suck. It isn't particularly un-Who. Not that I've any idea what that even means. It's got Tom being smug and witty, it's got Sarah Jane be...

Caprica Deathwatch Update: It's Gone.

In news that will surprise absolutely nobody, The Sci Fi Channel SyFy have decided to bin BSG-spin-off/prequel Caprica after the conclusion of its second half season. http://www.tvguide.com/News/Syfy-Cancels-Caprica-1024800.aspx But the determination to milk a franchise out of the 21st century's bes...

It's out in January??? Yeah, anyway. Blatant fake poster. The person who's mocked it up has blatantly misunderstood the title of the film. The movie has nothing to do with the Earth's satellite. It's all about the terrifying arrival of everybody's favourite killer bunny rabbit. http://www.tfu.info/1...

With the Joes, there's some variety of costume but everyone's basically one of three skin tones and there's a lot of green GI Joe also has one massive advantage over Transformers - generics. Be it the Joe greenshirts, the Cobra blueshirts, Vipers or Crimson Guards, if a scene calls for a crowd or a...

It would be unjust of me to say exactly what happened, or to name names, but suffice to say that wrists have been slapped and people know the score.

I am doing a top job of moderationing. w00t woot. I'm well good at this job.

* Though as a sub-point, is it me or does G.I. Joe have a very consistent style, unlike the three, four different studios seen on Transformers? Nah, Joe has a definitive look, whereas TF is just all over the place stylistically. GI Joe may not have anything as beautiful as Call of the Primitives, b...

Right, I've not read the issue or the thread, but somebody reported a post in here so I'm putting my mod hat on. Drastic times, I know.

So, yeah. Whoever it is that is being complained about, behave.

There. I hope you've all learnt your lesson.

Pretty much our only hope on the missing episodes is that somebody in 2013 invented a time machine, nipped back to 1963 and stole the relevant tapes so they could be released for the anniversary. Thus also explaining where they went in a tidy timeloop plot. With the "must have been wiped" ...

So in those terms they got what they paid for, providing people thirty years later the chance to watch it whenever they like wasn't covered by it. Something backed up by their habit of wiping programs after broadcast. I think it's fairly clear that "hang on, we can always repeat this" was...

I know all that. But this is currently 15k. And it's got a sodding Trek novelty track in it.

That's just not right dammit.

My mind ignored the "Hot" and my immediate reaction was to think Beth Ditto had covered it.
