The weekend of May 18, 2013 will live long in my consciousness. It will stand for quite some time as the weekend that two of my favorite franchises tried to hit one out of the park… and failed miserably. You can count my “favorite” franchises on one hand.

So, although this year’s adventures are just beginning, join our two Who-ligans as they look back at the last twelve months… um, or so… of all […]
Doctor Who Returns! J is Non-Plussed…!
Posted: 4th April 2013 by J. Marcus in Doctor Who, Television, Watching the DoctorOn Saturday, March 30, Doctor Who returned to the airwaves for the second half of Series Seven. Let me start off by saying that for all intents and purposes this REALLY should be the eighth series, but whatever.
