'THE WITCH'S FAMILIAR': REACTION & REVIEW

Source: www.ign.com, Property: BBC/BBC America It took me an entire day to fully digest last night's Doctor Who episode!! Basically, they had my heart on a string and kept tugging at it that I thought i might not have made it until the end. But, here I am, still here, in one piece. So, kiddies here is my small & insignificant contribution to last night: Highlights: 1.) My constant panic at & concerning Missy betraying The Doctor and/or Clara (or in that case both). We all know that The Master has teamed up in the past with The Doctor when it is either convinient or they have a common enemy. But her/his unpredictability to switching sides is a constant reminder for us the viewers, that she should & must not be trusted. 2.) Direct reference when Clara was convinced, by MIssy no less, to get inside the Dalek. Evoking the first time Clara (Oswin Oswald) met The Doctor (in his 11th incarnation). It brought back a sad memory, but it also brough...

"Holy Smokes, Batman, now we can go to a ThinkGeek store IRL!"

Hello kiddies!! Yes, yes it is absolutely freakin' true, everyone's favorite Geek/Nerd provider of awesomeness has opened not just one, but two stores in FL.!!! YES, FLORIDA... They were not content to their online domination & take over, so they decided to take over IRL. AND, we can't thank them enough, at least I can't. And I do hope they have lots & lots of success because we need them to conquer the west coast ASAP!! It looks like today was their opening date, too! So, for those of you who still like the thrill of acquiring items at the moment and not have to wait for packages in mail (although, ThinkGeek has excellent delivery) we can simply go to one of their stores and buy to our heart's contents without having to wait for our packages to arrive. I will be leaving you the link to their website, so you guys can find out where the stores are located in Florida. For those lucky to live nearby, I so envy you right now! And to ThinkGeek, ...

NA, NA, NA, NA, NA.... BATMAN!!! (Batman Day 2015) **IMPORTANT UPDATE**

Soo' for all your Bat enthusiasts get ready to take your gear out and show your fangirl/boy pride on this day.

DOCTOR WHO Series 9 Highlights & Review.

So, yesterday was the world premier of Doctor Who series 9, and like many many of my fellow Whovians (and also because I was fortunate to have the day off) I tuned in. And it did not disappoint! So many references, so much drama, oh the feels!! The first episode was appropriately titled.  Source: theregister.co.uk  I think the move of returning the Doctor and Clara where everything (meaning the Great Time War started) with the key players (Davros, Daleks' homeworld, etc.) was excellent. The beginning of the episode, having the Doctor trying to save the unknown child, and all of a sudden getting the 'OH, GOSH' moment when it is revealed who the child really is, creates an instant dilemma for the our Time Lord. And as the episode progresses, we see the shame and urgency of The Doctor who wants to protect Clara and Missy from a battle he knows he needs to face himself. The deeper connect between Clara and The Doctor (when she and Missy are transported to the Doc...

Hello Sweetie.. The Return of River Song.

For those of us who we consider ourselves Whovians, just today we got a very special announcement from BBC and Doctor Who by giving us our Christmas gift early, sort of. And although we will have to wait for the traditional Christmas episode, it will be worth the wait because an very beloved recurring character will reappear.  River Song, the Doctor's wife will be included in the special. 😁😅😁 I'm over the moon with excitement in wanting to see Alex Kingston in her iconic role! Aside from the fact that I'm still a bit heartbroken due to Rory & Amy Pond not being able to travel through time and space with Peter Capaldi's incarnation of The Doctor, I am giddy to see River's interaction with her husband in the form of 12th Doctor.  Doctor Who is set to premier on September 19 on BBC One. The Christmas Special was announced to air on Friday December 25th. For more info. I leave you the link to BBC website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/doctorwho/entries...

The Juggernaut Awakens: Walmart vs. Target

Hello kiddies! once again, I find myself bringing you news of what's happening in the magical & fantastical land of Geekdom. As many of you know, not long ago too, I wrote that Walmart announced that it would carry the Covergirl Star Wars make up line in September, which I can safely say that I'm stil super psyched! Well, it appears that Walmart has announced Force Fridays, where they will be selling various merchandise items in the wake of 'The Force Awakens.' here is the link straight from the starwars.com page announcing Walmart's "Force Fridays" http://www.starwars.com/news/star-wars-the-force-awakens-products-to-arrive-on-force-friday-september-4 Source: rebelscum.com. Property of Disney/LucasFilm/ Walmart/Sam Walton And apparently, Walmart is not the only one to partner up with Disney/Lucas and the upcoming franchise. Target is also getting in the fun too! http://nerdist.com/stay-on-target-for-the-star-wars-the-force-awakens-t...
