Karen Gillan Talks About Her Love For Community’s Doctor Who Spoof, Inspector Spacetime

by Jill Pantozzi | 1:15 pm, May 15th

You remember when the NBC show Community spoofed the BBC’s Doctor Who with their show within a show called Inspector Spacetime? First it got popular enough to have a web series (not affiliated with NBC) made. Then the hopeful creators of that webs series got sued by NBC. But, as Community lives on (for the time being), so does Inspector Spacetime and it turns out one Doctor Who star is a big fan. The BBC recently chatted with Karen Gillan just before she filmed her last episode of the long-running sci-fi show, and the actress described how she came to find out about Inspector Spacetime and even hinted at wanting them to hire her. The BBC thinks it’s a delightful idea and is trying to start a campaign with the hashtag #AmyMeetsAbed. Now watch Gillan being completely adorable in this video.

Idris Elba Is Back As Heimdall For Thor 2, Says We’ll Learn More About The Asgardians

by Jill Pantozzi | 11:46 am, May 15th

You’ll be able to see Idris Elba very soon in Ridley Scott’s Prometheus, but the British actor recently dropped some hints on Marvel Studios’ Thor 2. Namely that he’ll be back to take up Heimdall’s mantle in the film. But as much as we love Elba, what we’d like to know is, will there be more Sif?

Adorable Crayon Dragon Comes To Life, Goes On Grand Adventures, Makes Us Misty

by Jill Pantozzi | 5:44 pm, May 14th

Here’s the short version of what happens in this video: 1.) Woman draws dragon. 2.) Dragon comes to life. 3.) You cry tears of joy. Personally, I just love it when something so simple, with no words, can pull out so much emotion from me. Here’s the longer version – The animation, titled Crayon Dragon, was a second-year art project by California Institute of the Arts student Toniko Pantoja. Of course his work wouldn’t be complete without the magical music composed by Denny Schneidemesser, violin by Taryn J. Harbridge, low and tin whistle by Kristin Naigus and sound design by Glenn Harfagre. Pantoja achieved the entire effect by using, “Flash for the character animation, and the coloring for the character animation. Photoshop was used to speed paint the backgrounds, and After Effects to put everything together. Final Cut Pro was used for the final outcome for the video.” You can check out more on Pantoja’s blog.

Sit back (perhaps grab a tissue) and enjoy!

Editor’s Note: Last week we started down the path of the second half of HBO’s Game of Thrones Season 2. This week Amy Ratcliffe continues with her delightful recaps although we have a bit of a change-up. Amy’s post will include information from the George R.R. Martin novels throughout, but in just a few minutes we’ll have another recap up from Sarah Devlin, someone who hasn’t read the books. So read on if you’d like to know where the television show strayed from the source material and see what Amy thought about last night’s episode,  A Man Without Honor.

by Jill Pantozzi | 2:08 pm, May 14th

As the space program is winding down and shuttles are heading to their museum retirement homes, one man is standing up to say we should not be done going boldly where no one has gone before. He wants us to build the starship Enterprise by 2032. And he’s already drafted blueprints.

These Animated Superheroes Aren’t Having As Much Luck As Their Live-Action Counterparts

by Jill Pantozzi | 6:00 pm, May 12th

Vimeo user Junaid Chundrigar realized that superheroes don’t always have perfect lives and perhaps, just like us, they have bad days now and again. After doodling some Marvel characters, he put together this animated short about some inconvenient mishaps thanks to their powers. My favorite has to be the Wolverine/Scott/Jean skit.

Things We Saw Today: Doctor Who’s Karen Gillan Says Goodbye On Behalf Of The Ponds

by Jill Pantozzi | 5:30 pm, May 12th

We posted a short while ago about Karen Gillan starting on her last episode of Doctor Who. We had all the sads. Now she’s announced via her twitter account that her job is complete (it got 50+ retweets in under a minute). She’s no longer working on Doctor Who. Co-star Arthur Darvill who plays her husband Rory on the sci-fi series echoes her sentiments a short while later tweeting, “And. . . . That’s it.” Why do they torture us so?
