LEGO managed to nail David Tennant's signature smirk in this Doctor Who set, created in response to an onslaught of interest from fans who submitted this concept to LEGO's virtual suggestion box.

Oh man, you're telling me, I still get so frightened how so many of his female characters act exactly the same as each o—oh, oh, wait, you mean for his monsters and stuff! Yeah, that makes sense too. They're pretty scary.

At the Doctor Who Celebration back in November of 2013, Peter Davison, Sylvester McCoy, Colin Baker, and Tom Baker had a nice chat about their time on the long-running sci-fi series. And by "nice chat" I mean they made fun of David Tennant and Matt Smith.

The Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special was a sweet love letter to Who fans complete with some delightful cameos from what can only be described as old friends. It was, in this fan's opinion, a far more delightful and strong episode than
Matt Smith's final episode, so if you haven't checked it out yet, you should. It turns out, one of the most exciting cameos happened under cover of darkness and without the guest star meeting Smith before filming. Spoilers abound after the jump!

It Goes Ding When There's Stuff
We're going to be skeptical about this because the first rule of
Doctor Who 50th Anniversary speculation is, of course:
trust no one. Warning: click the jump and you enter the realm of spoilers!

It Goes Ding When There's Stuff
BBC America invited The Mary Sue on a very special press conference call with
Neil Gaiman in advance of his
Doctor Who episode this weekend. "Nightmare in Silver" is the prolific author's return to the show as well as the return of the Cybermen. While we were thrilled to hear him speak about his new ideas and the experience writing the episode (it's a fun one!), we were very curious to know what his thoughts were on Clara's seemingly troubled relationship with the TARDIS.

I contemplated titling this "Five Classic Doctors Returning for

The World Doesn't End Because the Doctor Dances
My deepest condolences, Classic Whovians. In an interview with
Doctor Who TV, Sixth Doctor
Colin Baker said that he won't be returning to
Doctor Who for the show's 50th anniversary… and that none of the other pre-Nine Doctors will be either.
Asked whether he'd been asked about reprising his role, Baker replied: "No. As far as I know, neither of any of [sic] my erstwhile colleagues have been asked either."

We thought it was pretty cool news when IDW Publishing announced they were doing a
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic comic book from
Katie Cook and
Andy Price. We thought it was
very cool when the first issue had over 90,000 pre-orders. What comes after very? That's the word I need right now. Midtown Comics in New York has an exclusive variant cover for issue two from
Amy Mebberson (of
Pocket Princess fame) featuring Time Turner, the in continuity
Doctor Who pony. And he's wearing a
Tom Baker scarf! And a Weeping Pony Angel!! This is too much to handle! You can put in an advanced order for it (while supplies last!) on
Midtown Comics' website.

Interview
The modern era of BBC's
Doctor Who has been lucky to have some fantastic Executive Producers in its time. There was
Russell T. Davies of course,
Julie Gardner,
Phil Collinson,
Piers Wenger, and most recently,
Steven Moffat. But new to the ranks for Season 7 is
Caroline Skinner, who just happened to also be an Executive Producer on
Masterpiece's The Ruby in the Smoke starring
Doctor Who's Matt Smith and
Billie Piper. Familiarities aside, Skinner has a big job ahead of her but is up to the task. She's a life-long Whovian and thinks Season 7 will be the best yet. Read on to hear what she had to tell us in our recent interview session and
check out our chat with star Karen Gillan if you haven't already!

The World Doesn't End Because the Doctor Dances
Ok look. I know people are mad about
Matt Smith these days but we owe a great debt of gratitude to
Christopher Eccleston for playing a part in relaunching
Doctor Who in 2005. With the big
Who anniversary coming up next year, fans have been speculating just how many Doctors will be returning to the show. So far, all signs have pointed to Eccleston not making a return but thanks to some new quotes we can speculate he might give it a go. We also have some news about the upcoming Christmas Special and how the alternate-Ninth Doctor,
Richard E. Grant, could factor in.

The World Doesn't End Because the Doctor Dances
In case you're not a
Doctor Who fan, or you're not regularly within a three-mile radius of
Doctor Who fans, you should know that the fandom has been waiting almost a year for new episodes of the show. The season finale of season (or series) six aired October 1st, 2011, and now at the end of August, 2012, we still don't know when new episodes will hit... just that they are coming this fall.
But it's not just the return of the show that fans are anticipating: 2013 will mark the show's 50th anniversary special. And, at least if you read into a statement made by show star
Matt Smith, we might be anticipating multiple specials.

Inside of a dog it's too dark to read
Elisabeth Sladen's
death earlier this year took much of the
Doctor Who fandom by surprise, though the actress behind the portrayal of one of the most beloved of the show's many Companions had been battling cancer for some time. Even the BBC seemed to have been taken aback by the sudden turn of events: Sladen's death occurred in the middle of the filming of a season of
The Sarah Jane Adventures. The six episodes of what the BBC has announced will be the last season of the show will eventually be aired in her honor, though the there has been no formal announcement as to when (rumors say October).
But closure may be had in at least one other form: Sladen's autobiography, a draft of which she had completed shortly before the final stages of her ilness, will reach publication.

It Goes Ding When There's Stuff
If you've ever wondered why The Mary Sue doesn't post much stuff about the current
season of Doctor Who
, there is a simple, shameful reason behind it: the editorial staff is only three seasons in love with the Doctor and is terrified of spoilers. We would just watch it all day and not post anything to bring ourselves up to speed, but you'd probably prefer that even less… so when contributor Christopher Holden, also a new Who
convert who's actually had the time to catch up, offered to write a post on how and why one should follow everyone else down the swirly worm hole after that twirling TARDIS, we welcomed it. If only to create even more people who, despite their expectations, find themselves learning to love that completely artificial synth-whine of a theme song.
My primary source of geekdom has always been comic books. That is the source from which all my other interests branch out. Thus, my first exposure to
Doctor Who came from the random attainment of 1970’s Marvel
Doctor Who Comics in my youth. The bright covers depicting a curly-haired English man sporting a long scarf seemingly made from Joseph’s Technicolor dream coat did not pique my interest. Although others may have enjoyed his comics, because the Doctor was not part of the canonical Marvel Universe, to me he was simply Doctor Who cares?
