Doctor Who: Matt Smith Exits. So Who Will Be the Next Doctor?

Somehow, the series has to continue and to smartly have the series look back at the Doctor’s past adventures from a previous regeneration will make sense to keep Doctor Who ongoing.

David Tennant Returns? Spoiler Alert

BBC and The Telegraph have confirmed that Matt Smith is indeed leaving the series, Doctor Who. As for who will replace him, that could either be John Hurt or the return of David Tennant. If the cliffhanger of season seven is any indication, the 50th Anniversary special will no doubt address this particular addition. As for the ramifications, hopefully the series will make a change for the better and explore the psyche of what the Doctor really is.

Is all the ‘good’ that he is doing truly that, or is there some selfishness about him that viewers do not really know? Long time fans will recall that the First Doctor (William Hartnell) did have an air of selfishness and self-centeredness about him. The episode “Name of the Doctor” did come full circle with Hurt mimicking some of Hartnell’s style.

What’s Next Now That Transformers Prime: Beast Hunters is Over?

The Transformers Prime series paints a landscape where the Autobots are few and the Decepticons are many.

70234439 Transformers Prime is an animated series that is inherently dark. With Beast Hunters being the final season of this saga, Cartoon Network is putting a close to what is perhaps the best of all the re-imaging of Hasbro’s flagship product. Some fans may feel disappointed, and others will have to wonder what will become of the Autobots in their darkest hour. With seven more episodes remaining to be broadcast, hopefully that will be enough to wrap up everything that this series is cumulating to. With Predaking around, the big question is when will Grimlock and the Dinobots appear? IDW Publishing has a comic book featuring this mighty dinosaur. But as for this series, the character of Grimwing has yet to make a full appearance (since he exists as a toy). The battle with the Decepticons is not looking too good with when there is dissention in the air with Ultra Magnus now part of the team.

Monster High Craft Time!

I found this neat little Youtube channel of two girls, Nessy and Drusila, who are big Monster High fans. I thought I would post their latest video for those families with children who love arts and crafts (and for those who are Monster High freaks).

Here we have Nessy demonstrating how to make a Ghoulish Gadget Holder.

New Man of Steel International TV Spot

But hey, Zack, if the Man of Steel film is dinner would it be too much to expect a Margot Kidder cameo as dessert.

I’m confessing I’m hungry now for the Man of Steel movie. This new international TV spot is causing me to drool. But before the new TV was released today I’ve had no interest in seeing another Superman reboot. After watching the line of Kirk Alyn, George Reeves and my personal favourite Christopher Reeve don the tights my need to watch Superman had been more than filled. I let the previous film incarnation slip by without so much as a glance, even though it had Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor (who I respect as an actor). But Michael Shannon as General Zod looks really good. I’m hoping his characterization of Zod is at least on par with Terence Stamp’s previous portrayal (who played Zod in the 1978 film Superman).

But hey, Zack, if the Man of Steel film is dinner would it be too much to expect a Margot Kidder cameo as dessert.

Man of Steel is directed by Zack Snyder with screenplay by David S. Goyer. Original story by David S. Goyer and Christopher Nolan. The character of Superman was created by the team of Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster.

The Art of White Rabbit

I’m loving the art of Hillary White aka White Rabbit from deviantArt. She takes characters from pop culture and paints them into still poses sometimes with serene settings.
