Tribute to Elisabeth Sladen, 1948-2011
I did not want to post anything about the death of Elisabeth Sladen this morning. The news was sad and I was very quickly annoyed by blogs leaping on the celebrity death bandwagon. It’s lunch now. I’ve had half a day to think about it. How can Geek Native not mark the passing of Elisabeth […]
A Game of Thrones on Sky Atlantic review

A video catchup of all 47 years of Doctor Who – in just a few minutes
The talented pair and YouTube success story known as The Fine Brothers have all four feet planted on the Doctor Who bandwagon. They’ve put together an oratory wonder by walking us through all 47 years of Doctor Who in just 6 minutes. I’m glad they’ve done this. I’m well aware there is a large percentage […]

Let’s be clear about this – when SFX magazine ran a poll to ask fans which actress should be the next Doctor in Doctor Who they had to brush the 1999 Comic Relief short with Joanna Lumley playing the Doctor aside. Let’s also be clear about Cheryl Cole and the vote. Doctor Who fans did […]
Thundercats trailer from Wondercon
The good thing about conventions you miss is that there may still be YouTube videos from them that are worth watching. Case in point – this Thundercats trailer. At 2 minutes long this is a hefty trailer that shows you the illustration quality and likely plot quality. Just a concern though. There’s still no sign […]
Torchwood series 4 trailer
The first episode of the Starz “rescued” Torchwood is called Miracle Day. If you’re super sensitive to spoilers then I don’t imagine you’ll be on this trailer post in the first place but just in case you subscribe to the RSS feed scroll a way now. Also, geeks who subscribe to the RSS feeds are […]
BBC America teases us with new Doctor Who trailer
This one looks just as good as the series 6 Doctor Who trailer we got from the main BBC YouTube account yesterday. This trailer shows us a little more. It’s perhaps a touch more action focused a little less like a dark fairytale but that’s probably there for local tastes. I like both!
