Peter Capaldi's 'Volcanic' Regeneration Will Be the Show's Most Violent Yet
Christmas is just around the corner, which means only one thing – A new episode of Doctor Who! A festive episode has been a tradition since 2005 when the show was revived. During the Christmas-themed episodes, the Doctor has faced many creatures, some of which include The Sycorax, The Empress of the Racnoss, and the deadly Snowmen. However, it seems the joyful and episodes filled with happiness are becoming slightly more depressing. Why? Christmas Day is nowadays the time for the Doctor to regenerate.

You see, as Doctor Who and Agent Carter fans will know very well, should the BBC decide to go with a female Doctor, Hayley Atwell herself may well be interested in the role...

John Barrowman Recalls The Generosity Of Late, Great Third Doctor Who, Jon Pertwee
Doctor Who is a unique sci-fi series, with the ability to change the show's lead at the drop of a hat. As a result, pretty much every fan has their favorite version of the Doctor — and it's usually the first one that introduced them to the series. As former Torchwood star John Barrowman noted at Heroes & Villains Fan Fest in London, while he's always enjoyed Tom Baker's Fourth Doctor, he also has a soft spot for Jon Pertwee.

Back To Black (Mirror): Will Charlie Brooker Write A 'San Junipero' Sequel For 'Black Mirror'?
When you think of Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror, you hardly think of romance and rainbows, do you? That being said, there was one episode in Netflix's revamped Season 3 that threw the substantial instruction manual out the window and download itself into a special place in our hearts. With its '80s soundtrack and feel-good vibes, "San Junipero" was a rare happy ending in the world of pig f*cking and hidden pedophiles. However, with the whole premise being about death and life after death, it was still equally macabre in its own #BlackMirror way.

Saddle up for a round in O.K. Corral, because Westworld Season 2 is sticking on its spurs for another trip to the violent delights of HBO's robotic romp.
