For those who may be new here, I am J. Marcus. Aside from being one of the founding members of The Podwits, I am the Podwits’ resident Star Trek expert. By no means do I know which starship has the most efficient warp-core design, nor do I know Yeoman Rand’s cabin number (cheap shot, I know), but […]

This weekend, Doctor Who aired it’s third episode of the fall season, “A Town Called Mercy.” Much like last week’s “Dinosaurs on a Spaceship,” this week’s episode has that one iconic image/hook: A gun-slinging cyborg. DO NOT READ AHEAD IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THIS EPISODE YET!
“Dinosaurs on a Spaceship” – The Romp That Refreshes
Posted: 10th September 2012 by Brian in Doctor Who, Recap, TelevisionOne of the often-cited strengths of Doctor Who as a series is the flexibility of its concept—when your one permanent concept is an alien do-gooder with a time-and-space machine shaped like a police box, well, there’s not a whole lot you can’t do with that.
