47 Years of Doctor Who in 6 Minutes
Though FPNYC is now officially old (but young in a cosmic sense!) we haven’t been around quite as long as Doctor Who (47 years and counting!). Catch up on nearly five decades of continuity with this handy dandy video… Nice use of the 11 Doctor Action Figure Set!
Lookee! for 2/4/11
Fascinating. Science writer Lee Billings has been guest blogging for BoingBoing this week, dissecting NASA’s big Kepler news and exploring other exoplanetary pursuits. Have ya heard the one about Bill Murray at a Bears playoff game? A Song of Ice and Fire comics coming from Dynamite and Bantam. Man this is gonna suck, OR, All [...]

The Neverending Question: Gaiman and Doctor Who.
No, the neverending question seemingly is not how many girls has James Bond impregnated, but will Neil Gaiman write an episode of Doctor Who? The question has been asked hundreds and hundreds of times but recently on io9.com’s Morning Spoilers edition they picked up on someone on some Doctor Who message board saying Gaiman would [...]
View from Inside of the new TARDIS.

SDCC: David Tennant “sorry” for the end of “Doctor Who.”
At the San Diego Comic Con, people expected that Russell T. Davies would announce a “Doctor Who” movie starring David Tennant, but we would get nothing of the sort. Instead, what audience members got were trailers for the final three episodes of Tennant’s run as the Time Lord. And apparently, he’s sorry: I think he [...]
New “Doctor Who” outfit revealed.
Like I’ve mentioned before I’m a huge fan of “Doctor Who.” So when they announced that someone two years younger than me will be taking over the role from David Tennant, I was curiously cautious.

I can’t agree with any argument that disses Blake’s Seven while holding Quantum Leap up as an ideal of good science fiction – but there’s a certain [...]
