After a pretty solid opener and dreadful second episode, the new season of Doctor Who finally delivered what could be one of my favorite episodes ever and a perfect example of why Doctor Who is the best idea for tv show there is. Why was this episode so good?
Sets a stage using a unique point in history, the Cold War.
Uses the show’s rich backstory to reintroduce a baddie from the 60’s.
Stars classic english actors David Warner and Liam Cunningham.
Brilliant witty dialogue from a writer who you can tell cares deeply about the source material.
Finally uses the new companion to start introducing new rules and reestablish the basics.
Smart use of low budget, only showing enough of the monster, while keeping the story to a few small rooms, yet justifying it every time.

These kind of things are Doctor Who at its best. Mark Gatiss, you are a god.

From one Page to another, goodbye 30 Rock. I’ll miss you! (at Live Poultry Laughter)

No better way to watch the end of one of my favorite shows than with my favorite former Page!

Along with the Gilligan’s Island and I Dream of Jeanie themes, I will never get this song out of my head for life. I’m perfectly okay with this fact.

A BBC produced. Muppet. Teatime. Chat show.
no words.
(but there better be some kind of Muppet Doctor Who crossover…)

Conan O’Brien’s blink and you miss it/bigfoot photo cameo on How I Met Your Mother this week. I love how they had Conan on set and this is all they used him for.

I Solved How I Met Your Mother. I also drank too much coffee…

Okay. Time for me to nerd out for a minute because I’m not sure I’ve posted this anywhere and I need a time stamp on this. If there is anything I am, its a student of television. There are few shows I love more than How I Met Your Mother and I am positive I have cracked it. I was going to write this last year, but in this last season I have watched as every puzzle piece has fallen in place.If you don’t watch this show, you really should (its on Netflix) and feel free to call me nuts.

I’m going down the rabbit hole here guys, so I will spare you this post unless you really want to read it.
