The Sherlock Prologue We All Wanted for Christmas

New episodes of the hit BBC show start on Jan. 1! It’s been years since the last episodes of Sherlock, so I, for one, am very excited. It helps that this prologue is entitled ‘Many Happy Returns’.

How did Sherlock cheat death? What’s he going to do now that Moriarty is gone? Will the show still be awesome?

Sherlock has always had such an odd style. Three episodes, each about an hour and a half long, appear almost back-to-back in January and then disappear for at least a year. Who runs a TV show like 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?

My 6 Favorite Things of 2013

Welp, 2013 is over, and I don’t think I accomplished any of my stated goals for the year. I’m still fat, I’m still broke and I still haven’t been discovered by the comic book industry and handed the reigns of Spider-Man. But why dwell on the negatives when 2013 was arguably a pretty great year all around? At least when it comes to geeky stuff!

I don’t normally do these sorts of lists because I have a terrible memory and I don’t know what I was enjoying last week, let alone last March. But I wanted to see if I could pull this off, because there were a lot of great things this year, and I’m a member of the Internet, so of course I’ve got to do one of these lists. They’ll withdraw my membership card if I don’t, right?

The Fall of the 11th

That fat blue guy who was just a head predicted this a long time ago: the Fall of the 11th! The Fields of Trenzalore! Here is a preview of this year’s Doctor Who Christmas special!

Looks pretty exciting to me! I have no doubt that Matt Smith is going to go out with an episode that rival’s even David Tennent’s farewell!

Short Preview for the Doctor Who Christmas Special

A tiny teaser trailer for Matt Smith’s final adventure as The Doctor has hit the web in the aftermath of the 50th anniversary special.

The trailer doesn’t say much, but it doesn’t have to, I’m more interested in talking about the anniversary special! What did everybody think? I loved it! The episode was classic Doctor Who, from the silly aliens, the wonderful humor and the emotional gutpunch. I thought Tennant and Smith were amazing together, and John Hurt was simply fantastic as the War Doctor. The guy really sold the role. I loved the twist ending to the Great Time War, and all the little cameos! I don’t think there’s anything I didn’t love about the special, other than the lack of Chris Eccleston, but that’s on him.

What did everyone else think?
