Delayed Reaction: Hotel Babylon Finale
Once the turkey-coma had finally subsided, the DVR was almost as full as I was. I promise the rest of the week won’t be catch-up, but for today, we have to spend a moment reminiscing on BBC America’s first run of the tasty Hotel Babylon which ended this past Wednesday. Babylon has been […]

As We Expected, Piper to Return to Dr. Who
Billie Piper, I may not have always bought your acting skills, but your chemistry with David Tennant was undeniable. My tears when you were sucked into a parallel earth, never to be seen from again? Totally real. Though apparently your exile was anything but. BBC announced today that Piper would be reprising […]

Weekend TV: I Want Your Sex
Three weeks into the football season and one week shy of the return of our network favorites, this weekend might be your last chance to check out some of cable’s recent offerings before both of your box’s tuners are otherwise ocupado. I’m referring to two shows in particular: BBC America’s run of Torchwood and […]

Doctor Who: Don’t “Blink” and You’ll Miss it
You may have noticed that, on occasion, I will make an irrational plea for you, gentlereaders, to watch Doctor Who. You never listen, and that’s ok… except you really should today. Before you go out on the town this evening to do god knows what, you owe it to yourself to DVR tonight’s episode.
Once […]

Joss Whedon was on hand at Comic-Con this weekend to share in the festivities of Buffy’s 10th anniversary and bask in the adoration of those who love him dearest/creepiest. Amidst talk of the comic book, an upcoming horror film and ballet (?), he also chose to make a most unexpected announcement: the long spoken of […]

Doctor Who Is Too Good For You, America
It’s a bitch convincing people to like you. Especially in a country where your five decades of genealogy are almost completely unknown, you have the supreme disadvantage of being labeled science fiction (high camp, at that) and your humor is more alien than your subject matter. Such is the plight of Doctor Who in the […]

Nerd Alert! Nerd Alert!
If it wasn’t sad enough to openly worship BBC’s latest incarnation of Doctor Who, I’m now suffering an emotional crisis over how to watch the rapidly approaching third season. In a mere two days the Brits will be introduced to the Doctor’s newest companion and see exactly how he’s coping with the departure of former […]

You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby
Though there is certainly more than enough television to watch in the US, it’s always fun when the internet offers little glimpses of what people are watching elsewhere. And last week’s news that Charlotte Church had announced she was pregnant just days after her 21st birthday reminded me that she actually has her own […]
