I’ve gotten a few emails and comments recently bemoaning the “fact” that I haven’t written about Christopher Eccleston’s episodes of Doctor Who the way I did about David Tennant’s. The truth is, actually, that I did… sorta. I started, anyway, though not with quite the same depth or approach, back when my blog Geek Philosophy … more…
My experiment with exploring global box office numbers continues. I think I’ll eventually start looking at numbers beyond North America and the U.K., but I’m trying to get a hold on what the U.K. numbers mean first.

This British miniseries is a wild, outrageous ride through the conspiracy theories of the moment, wrapped in a paranoid, blow-’em-up, all-stops-out thriller.
From Britain’s Sky News, a bit of history:
The American Life on Mars debuts tomorrow night at 10pm Eastern on ABC. I’m all stocked up on the liquor I’ll need to get through it. This “sneak preview” makes me cringe: It’s like a horrible nightmarish mirror image of the British show, kinda like how Tina Fey “imitates” Sarah Palin by simply saying exactly … more…
The Sun says it’s so, with quotes from Stewart and everything, so it’s probably not total bullshit: ACTING legend Patrick Stewart is to make a giant leap across space — from Star Trek to Doctor Who. He has agreed to a major role in the Time Lord’s next series after teaming up with the Doctor … more…
