Bored in a Lecture

Yhea, so I was trying to sit through a Philosophy lecture yesterday, and I got kinda bored so...

A small Jedi battle with stick men (I know its geeky, but you have to understand who bored I was)

And one other creation on my behalf

It's a trap

Welcome to my disection of the latest DW trailer. The trailer to start wiuth, is pretty awsome, but what I wanted to do was have a look through it and note any spoilery things, as well as seeing if we can work out what goes with what episode.

\

Lets Begin

This image of amy floating out in space could really come from any part, but taking the fact that she's in her dressing gown, I'd put this as either the very end of Episode 1 or start of Episode 2. You can see some of the Tardis from here, the more elegant touch the Moffat promised for sure, but is still retains some 9/10th doctor era look. BREAKING NEWS: The tardis is revealed, check out these pics: Tardis Interior

EPISODE: Beginning of 2

So this image looks of a far distant city, however if you look at the buildings you can see names such as "Yorkshire" and "Surrey", so this is probably the futuristic England talked about in the brief for the Second episode

EPISODE: 2

Okay for a time I thought this was from episode 2... however after looking at a RS pic below, I'll conceed that this is more likley episode 4/5

EPISODE: 4/5

Old fasion phones, kick-ass old british army uniforms, welcome to WWII Doctor who style, this episode is set to bring in some British Darleks, wether they are created by some renagde genius or they decive Churchill is unknown, but its set to be interesting.

Episode: 3

More WWII (The rumor going around about this is that we are back on parallel earth but back in time, two reasons I find this unbelivable, 1. Steven Moffat has way too much integrity to drag this back up, and 2 its definently an older looking london and those look like baloons)

Episode: 3

This space ship looks alot like the one with River Song, plus there is the picture below

I wonder who the other person is?? *cough* River Song *cough*

Episode: 4/5

I had originally thought this would be frome the Angels episode, however a poster on Gallifrey Base (Sudden Impact) suugested this could be from the final. And looking at Riversongs hair colour, back to brown like the Stonehedge pic...

Episode: 12/13

Lets say a big welcome back too THE WEEPING ANGELS!!!

EPISODE: 4/5

This is an awsome looking Dalek, note the British flag

Episode: 3

Roumor mill on the internet is that this is from the final episode, with River Song again.

And the Doctor's new sonic screwdriver, looking alot more alien than before, cool.

Episode: 12/13

Exterior shot of River Song's spaceship, you can't see it but rteportedly it has the words Byzantium on it, which is a reference to some of the adventures that River Song mentioned in the last series

Episode: 4/5

More weeping angels, and the new doctors 'how awsome something that may kill me' face

Episode: 4/5

More interior of the River Song ship

Episode: 4/5

This looks alot like the sort of scenery that wouldn't go astray with the stonehedge stuff, plus with the other c ast of characters we've seen in this style it looks alot like an end game

Episode: 12/13

More oldey times stuff, looks like the TV from Idiots Lantern... so I thought it was the Churchill episode, but people at Gallifrey Base have pointed out to me 1) there weren't many TV's during WWII and 2) there is a Smiler (enemy of episode 2) booth to the left of the shot

Episode: 2

This one, again could come from the series final, however it could also come from the Surilian one, or even the Amy centric one. I hope it is some giant final, where the Big Bad pits some of the greatest enimies of the doctors past against him. Would be interesting

Episode: 12/13

The Doctor... is riding a horse... and looking badass I can't wait to see this episode

Episode: 6 or 12/13

Just a harmless normal space battle right?? Well first off, notice that the massive ship is like the ones used by the Daleks, also those smaller ships look an awful lot like WWII Planes (Spitfire Fighters I'm told by Khai JB from io9.com)...

Episode: 3

Crazy (non-Sparkly) Vampires in Italy, we must now all pray this dosen't go anywhere near twilight.

Episode: 6

I love the Atmosphere of this episode, Amy is once again in her dressing gown

Episode: 2

New villains known as the smilers, they look like the kind of scary that we have come to expect from Moffat, but another trademark of Moffat is that there will be more than meets the eye

Episode: 2

This appears to be the only direct refference to the Sirulian episode. See the green pincary thing in the background?

Well this is what it was attached to

Episode: 8/9

Funny clothes... Generally awsome looking beard... this could very easily be mr Vincent Van Gough. Where's the yellow monster?

Episode: 10

Okay... I've got no idea about this... it could be the episode with Amy's crazy pregant dream but thats really just speculation on my part. UPDATE, I've just had it pointed out to me that Amy is in her night gown so it's more likley to be episode 2

Episode: 2

In the section that was put up from the episode in Venice the wierd vampire gilrs refered to the Stewerd.. Could this be the mysterious person??

Episode: 6

River Song is floating into space... this could call for some explanation

Alot of explanation

Episode: 4/5

One of the best things about Doctor Who trailers is the Doctor jumping from an explosion.. Reminds me of season 3's Lazarus episode

Episode: 6

This is one of my favourite clips from the trailer, it could either be the Angels episode or the final.

Episode: 4/5

Metal cable attacking Amy in the same place we saw the Cyberman with one arm (or maybe one arm of different capibilities??)

Episode: 12/13

Doctor Who returns to Australian Screens on the 18th of April, I'll have a review going up before each episode. Thanks to my UK correpondant (will be named in the first post)

Story Time: True Easter

So easter is a week away, and I found myself standing behind my counter at work as 2 small children were hanging off their father screaming about how they wanted easter eggs. The dad, trying to be diplomaic, said they'd have to wait until the rabbit came next week.
Now would you look at that, rabbits and eggs... Does that even make sense? However it was one last thing that was said by the kids that really intigued me. "Daddy, where does the Easter Bunny live?". He had no answer.

I now feel it is my deuty to give parents and people, the appropriate story of eater, here it is warts and all:

Once upon a time in the far away Holidayland, a place where all holiday creatures live in harmony, for example santa is playing tennis with Larry the Leprechaun and all of them get together on Friday night for Kareoke (For such a small guy Cupid still manages to drink everyone under the table)... Now what was I talking about...

Ah yes thats right, anyway so it was a long time ago and there were these two rival fraternities who were trying to move up in the world. One group was the Chocolatiers, yellow chickens who use full body robotic suits to mold chocolate into images of beauty, from full sculptures to a fountain made of white chocolate filled with dark melted, they worked under Santa, but had also done some favours for Cupid. Then there was another group, know only as the rabbits they acted as muscle for some holidays, moving stuff and even building things when the time called for it. Most holidays used them as back-up if they failed to do something, mostly because of their near in-exhaustable number. However the rabbits had never proven too reliable, as they often went to follow leads that achived their own ends.

After months of heated debate the higher powers of the Holidays decided that the Chocolatiers would begin their holiday to coincide with the death of Christ. So excited by the event the Hens made a giant golden chocolate egg, to be the symbol of the holiday. So on next Saint Pat's day, as the Leparachauns roamed the earth, drinking with the inhabitance and image was settled amongst the minds of the people of a giant golden egg, given on the day of Christs death. And soon enough the time came around and earths people centers were filled with these beautiful golden chocolate eggs, only one per every hundred people (as the hens didn't have the manpower to give some to everyone) exciting the masses and begining the first easter

To say the rabbits didn't take this rejection well would be an understatement, you see... well... they quit all current jobs and started to build something, but no one knew what it was.

In November after the first Easter the Rabbits made their move, and into the new easter area of the Holidayland rolled a giant weponised rabbit carrying carrot. The hens never stood a chance, the rabbits ran straight through the town destroying everything that stood in their path, and taking as many hens as they could prisoner.

It was this event that created the easter that we now know. As chocolate efigies of these rabbits can be seen popping up more and more in shops, the leader of the group, a mysterious enigma known only as 'the bunny' has been taken on as the symbol of the season. No matter how mauch the Holiday leaders want it to all go back, the new image of the Easter is burned too brightly into everyones minds that it will never leave. But still the Hens fight back, continuing to make small tributes to their once great egg, they defy what the rabbits want us to see, to remind all humanity of what easter, for one year, was.

Okay so thats my Rambling of the Sunday, now this won't be the last time I take on the events of Holidayland, or any of the other lands that live adjacent to our own, just keep your eyes peeled for more stories.

Pop Culture Shock

What do you get if you cross a film, with a comic book, a video game, and the 1960's Batman show?

This:


This is the first trailer of Edgar Wright's (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Spaced) new movie based on the Scott Pilgim Comic series. Now I haven't read the series, but from what I know the comics are basically a mix of pop video game culture. Needless to say I am really excited for this film, it looks like it will be a blast. One thing I particularily liked was the use of the 'KAPOW' and 'ZAM' style hit titles, they managed to make the sort of video game point, while still being non-annoyingly funny.

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is out August 13th, be sure to check it out

Intro

Once upon a time there was a man, this man decided that he would write a blog... The only question that remained was what would he write it on. He spent the next 2 months of his life, searching the areas in his closet and under his bed he came up with an idea, a weird and wonderful idea, that he would write on everything and nothing, all that is and all that isn't. I guess you might be thinking that I'm attempting to rip off Seinfeld, I'm not, this blog will just have no pourpose, or any direction. It's just rambling, like it or not
