Freesat channel CBS Action (meh, okay; it’s on that Murdock channel that has the rights to Game of Thrones in the UK too) have got their hands on Star Trek. I was pointed in the direction of this so-called interview with Patrick Stewart as part of the launch party. Really; I can’t get my head […]

Guilty Crown trailer
This Guilty Crown trailer is worth watching for two reasons. It looks cool. That’s the first reason. The second reason is that, unless something’s changed, YouTube’s automatic translations via subtitles are live. Click on the CC button to activate. After the outbreak of a virus called “Lost Christmas” that swept through Tokyo in 2029 the […]
Dangerous, freaky, sinister Pokemon
It’s amazing how fan activity around Pokemon is fairly strong. I guess they became a part of people’s lives for very many years, became part of geek culture and left their pokemark. I suspect these critters will leave their mark too. Massive bow to deviant artist Gavin Mackey who drew these – who re-imagined these. […]
Photo: Brienne the Beauty from Game of Thrones
This post is spoiler free for Games of Thrones fans who’ve not yet read the books. The Maid of Tarth, Brienne “the Beauty” makes her appearance in the TV show in the second season. She was going to be hard to cast because she’s a knight, because she kicks arse and because she’s very tall. […]
Confirmed: Beth Willis, Doctor Who’s Executive Producer to leave
There had been rumblings of trouble but face it – when Doctor Who isn’t on air there’s nothing quite like worrying what could go wrong. Doctor Who fans like myself are very good at it. It turns out some the more recent rumbles are correct. Beth Willis will be leaving Doctor Who. Beth was one […]
Craig Ferguson interviews Neil Gaiman
Right now, at the time of posting, this video can be watched anywhere in the world. It’s a clip from US TV in which Craig Ferguson interviews Neil Gaiman. Gaiman’s on because it’s American Gods was 10 years old on the 19th of June. The geeky conversation stretches from Sandman to Doctor Who. There’s plenty […]
Towering Tardis: Doctor Who and the Companions
This infographic just about fits inside the Tardis. Just about. K9 and Kamelion are on this chart creators have done the right thing and counted them as Companions. Got to say; this infographic reminds me of how much I disliked Visior Turlough when I watched the show as a young pre-blogger. I suspect I’d find […]
The characters in a Game of Thrones are Muppets
Wait. I think the title of this blog post may be wrong. Did I say the characters in a Game of Thrones are Muppets? I meant to say that here’s what the characters in a Game of Thrones would look like as Muppets. Who would you pick to play the Onion Knight? These rather clever […]
Game of Thrones s2 title card
Game of Thrones has finished its run in the US and, today, in the UK. It’s been a hit. This is good news for those who watched it because HBO have already lined up season 2. Hopefully non-Sky channels will be able to grab it in the UK – FX, I’m looking at you. HBO […]
Zavvi’s anime campaign produces dangerously naughty ad
I’ve a small treasure chest of anime shipping its way to me thanks to Zavvi’s sale/party for Manga’s 20th birthday. Now, because I’ve been on their site, their retargeting campaign has kicked in. They’re using Struq which is a pretty good set up but a combination of typos and awkward headlines have produced this. The […]
