question of the day: How can ‘NCIS,’ the most-watched, most-loved TV show in America, be so absent from online fandom?
Apparently NCIS, the military cop procedural, is the most watched scripted show in the United States. I would not have guessed this if given a million guesses.
‘Doctor Who’ thing of the day: Just who the hell is River Song, anyway?
Simon Brew Den of Geek has given us a wonderfully silly, wonderfully exasperated rundown of the possibilities we’re grappling with when we contemplate the mystery of River Song…
watch it: “The Rapture”
