Christopher Eccleston Says the Arts Are the “Tip of an Iceberg” When It Comes to Diversity and Inclusion
Diversity and inclusion go beyond race and even gender. Class is an important indicator of the advantages (or lack thereof) a person will have, and this can be compounded by race and gender to make things even worse for someone. In a recent interview, Christopher Eccleston talks about why it's important to think about this when it comes to diversity in the arts, and why the arts should only be a first step.

This is not an April Fools' joke! The Ninth Doctor is back!
Today's the day! The Ninth Doctor is back in an all-new five-part miniseries from Titan Comics called "Weapons of Past Destruction," written by Cavan Scott (Who-ology: The Official Doctor Who Miscellany) with artwork by Blair Shedd (IDW's Doctor Who).

FANTASTIC!
March 26th really should be considered an Official Geek Holiday at this point. It was ten years ago today that Doctor Who returned to television with the Ninth Doctor, and the episode, "Rose."

I never actually liked the term "Nu Who."
Russell T. Davies stepped down as showrunner for Doctor Who five years after ushering the series back into the public consciousness in 2005. And hey, someone realized 2015 is the 10th anniversary of that relaunch so why don't we see what he has to say about that...

A New Thor: The Dark World Trailer Has Arrived From Asgard (Okay, From YouTube)
Excelsior!
The new trailer for Thor: The Dark World is packed with action, magical prison cells, Idris Elba, Frigga battling the Dark Elf Malekith, and the expected number of threatening voice overs. Based on descriptions we heard last month it seems to be the same trailer that aired at Comic-Con, but for those of us who weren't there it's certainly worth a watch. The new trailer provides more insight into the battles and major conflict of the movie, while the last trailer focused a bit more on the state of Thor and Jane Foster's relationship, and, of course, Loki's hair. Thor: The Dark World is set to release on November 8th of this year. (via ComingSoon.net)

The World Doesn't End Because the Doctor Dances
I freely admit I wasn't as emotionally invested in Matt Smith's Doctor as I was Christopher Eccleston or David Tennant, but this tugs at my heart strings. When we first heard he was leaving the show, the BBC promised a special goodbye and thank you video, and it turns out he filmed it in Detroit, Michigan during a break on Ryan Gosling’s How To Catch A Monster. In other brief Doctor Who news, Jenna-Louise Coleman has decided to officially change her credited screen name to Jenna Coleman. And my fast-typing hands thank her for it.
