The Internet is Equal Parts Amazing and Snark
First of all, check out this gorgeous picture of a Disneyfied Doctor Who, drawn by the now Internet famous Stephen Byrne.
I love this picture. It’s stunningly gorgeous, both in the way it really does tap into the look and feel of Disney animation, while also giving each of the Doctors his own perfectly realized look. It’s stunning. My Internet Hat is off to this Stephen Byrne guy for the drawing alone.
But then Byrne goes one step further, and solidifies himself as the winner of the Internet for this month.
A lot of people started criticizing the drawing in terms of accuracy to the real Doctors. For example, the Fourth Doctor was actually fairly tall and lanky, whereas Byrne chose to draw him short and impish. Personally, I love it, but the Internet is a place of great criticism and foolishness.
Fortunately for us all, Bryne’s response was so sarcastic that he may have single-handedly redefined the word.
The 6 Best Cameos on My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
Fair warning, I’m feeling especially adorable this week. Want to know the geekiest show on television? It’s not Big Bang Theory. Nor is it Game of Thrones. The title has to go to My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic! Not only is it a cartoon that has taken fandom by storm, but it is clearly produced by some giddy geeks.
Prepare for horse puns. So many horse puns
What makes me say this? How about the simple fact that they’ve taken a cartoon about cutesy, colorful ponies and filled it with more pop culture references and background jokes than your average episode of Family Guy! And at My Little Pony, they’re actually clever about it. Clearly for the sheer fun of it, the people behind My Little Pony love showing off their geek cred.
Join me after the jump for the 6 best pop culture character cameos on My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic!
My 6 Favorite Aliens
We’re one week removed from the Guardians of the Galaxy trailer, and it’s still all everybody’s talking about. Even when FOX tried to score some headlines by revealing their Fantastic Four cast, or Sony released that new Amazing Spider-Man 2 trailer, it’s still Guardians of the Galaxy that has people jonesing. Have you seen the Parks and Recreation version? Classic Internet!
But there’s a problem: I already did a Guardians of the Galaxy list! So what the heck am I supposed to do now? How about a list of all of my favorite aliens?
Miniature American flags for all!
Do aliens exist for real? Maybe. I’m of the mind that they’re probably out there somewhere, evolved in ways we can’t even fathom. But I doubt they’ve visited to Earth to abduct cows and rednecks. Aliens have always been big in pop culture. There are probably more made-up aliens and alien races than there are stars in the universe at this point. And here are my personal favorites!
Capaldi Looking Classy
He’s gonna stomp those Daleks!
Check out Peter Capaldi’s official ‘uniform’ as The Doctor. I kind of like it. I’m sure we’ll have to wait to see it in motion, but it’s classy, colorful and a little badass, especially in the boots. Unfortunately, we’ll have to wait until the fall to see Capaldi in the new season of Doctor Who. Suffice to say, my hopes are definitely up.
Capaldi had this to say about the costume:
He’s woven the future from the cloth of the past. Simple, stark, and back to basics. No frills, no scarf, no messing, just 100 per cent Rebel Time Lord
Rebel Time Lord? I like the sound of that.
The Fields of Trenzalore are Almost Upon Us!
Here’s another trailer for the upcoming Doctor Who Christmas special, which will also be actor Matt Smith’s last episode!
These trailers are looking good. Hopefully the episode makes up for the Smith’s lousy final season. As much as I’ll miss the guy, I can’t wait for Peter Capaldi! Who’s with me?
