Sally Sparrow Almost Had a Grizzly End in 'Doctor Who'
Even though it scared the living daylights out of us all, the Doctor Who story "Blink" still remains a fan favourite episode for many fans. Purely because of its dark plot and the seriously terrifying statue creatures central to the episode — The Weeping Angels.

Peter Capaldi's 'Doctor Who' Exit to Be More Emotional than David Tennant's?
We don't like change. Who does? But, when it comes to Doctor Who, we all have to face the biggest change there can possibly be – regeneration. The iconic Time Lord from Gallifrey has the ability to regenerate and repair his body when he's dying or seriously injured. Majority of the time, we see the Doctor regenerate when he is on the edge of death and his body needs immediate attention. This ends up in the Doctor forcing himself to change his looks, face and personality.

Most Terrifying Seasons of Science Fiction TV Shows
Now that Thrones is gone, many of us have to turn toward other shows for that same gore and violence. While Stephen King's IT kills it in the box office, there isn't much to be had in the case of horror on television. There are actually so few horror shows out there that other genres tend to pick up the trope and use it to their grandest abilities. Not all shows can pull it off, though, but certain ones have some really disturbing, if not borderline horrifying seasons worthy of praise, but many fall by ignored.

Battle of Endor 359
It's the argument that never ends but in all fairness, it is a good one: Star Trek vs Star Wars, something almost guaranteed to divide your friendships, end marriages, force choices between the Dark Side and the Prime Directive.

Rewatching... Doctor Who: Tomb of the Cybermen - Episode 4
"...the power of the Cybermen." Saturday 23 September 1967 Let's just talk about Victoria for a moment. Now those of you who've followed my ramblings may be aware I had a bit of a crush on Polly, so I suppose I might have been a bit grumpy about her being dumped at Gatwick to make way for this new girl.

Rewatching... Doctor Who: Tomb Of The Cybermen - Episode 1
"Look at him. 'Archaeologist' written all over him." Saturday 2 September 1967 Can it really be less than a year since Patrick Troughton took over as Doctor Who? He seems so established, and Hartnell so long ago now. And this is the programme's fifth season? Incredible.

Review of Twin Peaks: The Return 1.14
Hey, it's tough to make progress when your adversary is from/in another dimension and an evil one at that, and one with the power to snap up good people and return them with an evil twin. Not to mention that the FBI agent in charge of the case can't speak softly and carry a big stick, because he's hard of hearing (proof—he wears a hearing aid). But the forces of good made a small amount of painstaking, painful progress in Twin Peaks 1.14 nonetheless.
