Doctor Who: Eggs and Christmas

September 25, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This post is speculation. It follows on from the question Are the Lights Going Out? and the theories Is the Doctor becoming a Dalek? and Are the Weeping Angels Attacking Earth and Turning Lights Out Across Time?. We don’t know. It’s all just theory and guess work – but if you’re not up to date […]

Anime on Demand cancels payments

September 25, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I subscribe to Anime on Demand. It’s a chance to watch legally streamed anime online and access shows I would never otherwise have access too. It’s a great deal for Viz Media as I only tend to access the service when I’m staying overnight in a hotel for business travel. If they have enough subscribers […]

Behind the special effects: Game of Thrones [spoilers]

September 23, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This video a special effects reel for the TV series Game of Thrones. If you’re not up to date then there will be spoilers. Also, oddly, the quality isn’t really good so you may be better off not watching on full screen. Game of Thrones is a Creative Arts Emmy Winner for outstanding special visual […]

September 20, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This post is one in a series of speculation that follows the observation Are the Lights Going Out?. Although this post is just speculation there is the risk of spoilers.

Doctor Who: Is the Doctor becoming a Dalek?

September 19, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood 3 Comments

This is the first, but not only, theory that follows the question “Are the lights going out?“. The post is speculation, and the author has no special insight, nor does Brian Bloodaxe who champions this theory for Geek Native. That said, if you’re lagging behind your Doctor Who viewing then this post may contain spoilers. […]
