We solve crimes. I blog about it and he forgets his pants. I wouldn’t hold out too much hope.

Quote of the Day – February 5, 2013
If it’s “creepy” to use the Internet, military satellites, and robot aircraft to find a house full of gorgeous young models so I can drop in on them unexpected, then fine, I’m “creepy”.

Quote of the Day – January 16, 2013
Oh no, of course, you mostly went hands-free didn’t you? It was like, “Hey, I’m the Doctor, I can save the universe using a kettle and some string! And look at me, I’m wearing a vegetable.”
The Doctor (played by David Tennant) spoken to the Fifth Doctor

5 Most Tragic Doctor Who Companions
Keeping with the Doctor Who theme, I thought I would look back over the five most tragic Doctor Who companions. Granted, we are talking about a 50 year history, so I’m going to limit the list to the ones that I have personally seen, which limits the list down considerably.
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD… LOTS OF SPOILERS AHEAD.
Quote of the Day – January 7th, 2013
Everything has a beginning and an end. Life is just a cycle of starts and stops. There are ends we don’t desire, but they’re inevitable, we have to face them. It’s what being human is all about.

Best 5 of 2012 – Television
I have to admit that I don’t often get a chance to watch a lot of television, almost none of it when it is actually broadcast.
That still doesn’t mean I haven’t picked out a few favorites.
Doctor Who
With the premiere of the new Doctor Who Christmas special only hours away (for those of us on the U.S., anyway), it seems only fitting that we take a look at something that most people in the U.S. don’t see… unless we’re total Doctor Who geeks and sought this out on Youtube.
Often, as part of the BBC’s Children in Need telethon, Doctor Who has presented a mini-segment. One year, it was a bridge between the first series and the second, where the Doctor explains regeneration to Rose. Another year, we actually get to see the Doctor meet himself, at least one of his past selves, as Peter Davison makes an appearance.
This year, the minisode (as they called it) acts as a set up for the Christmas special, laying the groundwork for that is to come. The clip presented is also introduced by Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman.
Good Bye to Hostess
A special Top 5 in memory of Hostess, the company who brought us Twinkies, Cupcakes, Fruit Pies, Zingers, Chocodiles and Crumb Cakes.
Hostess in Pop Culture
- Ghostbusters – Egon uses a Twinkie to represent the normal psychokinetic activity in New York. On that particular day, that Twinkie would be “twenty-five feet long weighing approximately 600 pounds.”
- Comic Book Ads – Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Hostess products not only provided America with a sugary dessert treat, but also helped some of comicdom’s famous heroes fight crime.
- Family Guy – After Y2K destroyed civilization as we know it, Peter Griffin leads his family on a quest… a Twinkie Factory in Natick. It is around this factory that Peter builds a new civilization.
- Zombieland – Tallahassee (played by Woody Harrelson) wants only one thing in this zombie apocalypse… a Twinkie.
- King of the Hill – Bobby Hill’s favorite dessert… fruit pies. He even uses them as a further enticement to get his father to go to the Megalomart to look for a part for his truck.
