A new blog on my radar is a Body of a Geek Goddess. Catchy title, huh? Ms Goddess highlights the news that the Ghostfacers supernatural investigators who’ve appeared on more than one Supernatural episode will be getting their own short series on the web. Geek Goddess observes that this might not. It might not work […]

Darabont’s Walking Dead
Lots of geeky sites happy with today’s news that Frank Darabont has been giving the go-ahead to film a pilot episode of The Walking Dead. The Walking Dead is a well respected comic from Robert Kirkman. It’s one of those smart zombie page-turns that focuses on the human challenges rather than the pesky not-dead-enough bodies. […]
UFOSpotter84, a UFO sighting in the UK and… Celebrity Big Brother?
Here’s a bit of a mystery. Is there a connection between a YouTube upload called UFO sighting UK, a Twitter account run by UFOspotter84 and the latest Celebrity Big Brother. The YouTube video and the Twitter account are clearly connected. The user who uploaded the UFO video is called UFOSpotter and the Twitter account may […]
Star in Supernatural series five – win the Lucifer is Coming game
UK TV channel Living TV not only has the exclusive rights to air series 5 of the show it is launching a game to promote it. Guilty secret: I quite like Supernatural. I’m sure it was the tagline “making scary sexy” that caught my attention although they’ve kinda let that go; haven’t they? I’m miles […]
The Adidas goes Star Wars ad
I don’t have much time for trainer junkies, or sports wear, or, well, sports in general – but Star Wars! Star Wars is another issue. So far I’ve resisted posting pictures of either Star Wars baseball caps or Star Wars shoes but this Star Wars / adidas Originals TV ad is too good to ignore. […]

The media company Starz are having a good run up to Spartacus: Blood and Sand. I’m not even in the US, am not even sure I’m going to get to see the show and I’m already getting excited about it. Everyone is describing the show as a mashup of Snyder’s 300 and the HBO Rome […]
Tower of Druaga anime opening
Over at AnimeVoice, Gia Manry has found the opening sequence to the MMORPG version of the Tower of Druaga. It looks good but comes from the ill-fated Gonzo animation studio which is all but lost to us know. Gia dares to speculate that Gonzo might be getting cash for this effort. Hmm. Let’s be optimistic!
Doctor Who no longer; Christopher Eccleston is John Lennon
If you hit Google for [Christopher Eccleston] today you’ll get a wash of Doctor Who results. He is most well known for his role as the 9th Doctor. This is despite his highly praised role in geek hit Heroes. Let’s not mention neither Cobra Commander nor The Dark is Rising. In a new biopic for […]

A survey by TNS for Adwatch has revealed that Nintendo’s TV ad series for the DS is considered to be one of the most annoying on British TV. 25% of all respondents found the series produced by an agency called Karmarama to be irritating. One of the TV slots featured Star Trek actor and British […]
Matt Smith, as the Doctor, on the cover of Doctor Who magazine
The latest edition of the Doctor Who magazine is out in the UK today. Guess who’s on the front cover? That’s right. Matt Smith. We can see the prominent bow-tie again and I suspect if BBC’s marcoms people keep on signing off on these images it’s the bow-tie that’ll become the trademark 11th Doctor feature. […]
