‘Doctor Who’ blogging: “Girl in the Fireplace” 0 Flares Twitter 0 Facebook 0 Google+ 0 StumbleUpon 0 Email -- Email to a friend 0 Flares × (intro to my Who blogging, please read before commenting / previous: Episode 3: “School Reunion”) Here it is: this year’s Hugo winner for Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form… and rightly so. This is one of the best episodes of Doctor Who ever — old series, new series, whatever — both wildly inventive and poignant in a way that becomes more heartrending the more you think about it. It’s the Doctor’s tragedy in a nutshell. We saw in the previous episode, “School Reunion,” how tormented he is by his longevity and his relative physical youth, how he shies from long-term relationships with humans because he can’t bear to see them grow old and die… and here that is, laid bare.

But this episode makes me think that maybe I was wrong in thinking that just before “Tooth and Claw” the Doctor and Rose had had some very naughty fun together.

By Jill Pantozzi | 1:13 pm, August 30th, 2013 The Nerdist channel spoke with actors on the red carpet of the D23 Expo a few weeks ago and were curious – what were their earlier memories of the Disney brand. Hear what Tom Hiddleston, Kristen Bell, Anthony Mackie, and more had to say.

Personally, I’m split between seeing Cinderella in theaters where they gave us awesome sticker books and the time I met Robin Hood (fox version) at Disney World and he asked me to marry him because we both had red hair. I had a very interesting childhood. What’s your earliest Disney memory? Doctor Who Windows.

[View All on One Page] Real-Life Cosplayers Become Video Game Characters. Life imitates art imitates life, or something like that. The upcoming video game, Comic Conquest, features real-life cosplayers who’ve been turned into kick-butt game characters. [Comic Conquest] is a party-based tactical RPG in which players battle their way through an overtaken comic con, fighting enemies and collecting swag along the path to freedom. Trapped in the building by a mysterious force, players are empowered with costumes and weapons that become real, transforming them from cosplayers to comic commandos. Artwork for the game is being done by Jeff Matsuda and will include seven cosplayers all together. They’ve revealed the first five characters and they look just fantastic!

We'd love to hear from you so reach out to us on Facebook or Twitter! . How to Be a Nerdfighter. Flyergirl13 has finally cleared up the nerdfighter mystery for us. Ready to decrease worldsuck? —Sparkitors In honor of Geek Week, I'm going to tell you all about the best kind of nerd culture there is. And no, I don't mean a culture of bacteria. I mean a culture of Nerdfighters. What is a Nerdfighter? Nerdfighters fight to decrease worldsuck (the total amount of suckage there is in the world) and fight decepticons, and increase world awesomeness levels.

In 2007, brothers John and Hank Green started a video-blogging project called Brotherhood 2.0. Right now you're probably wondering, I know who John Green is, but who on Earth is Hank? Either that or you're thinking, Hank Green, that awesome Eco-man! Well, John Green is the other half of the vlogbrothers. I won’t go over all the rest of the Nerdfighter vocab, like DFTBA or French the Llama, because it’s all been covered in this post.

Step One: Be AwesomeIf you’re on SparkLife, you’ve got this one down already, so no worries. Why Aren't Ya'll Watching Merlin? Dac213 has the just the show to satisfy all your nerdiest fantasies! —Sparkitors I find it odd that I seem to be the only dork in the world who’s watching Merlin. I mean, this show has all the elements of a fantasy nerd obsession: knights, a medieval setting, magic, a my-way-or-the-executioner’s-block type of king, British people, prophecies, and a lovable underdog. Plus it’s a TV series, instead of a series of books or books-turned-movies, so you can invite your “I don’t read anything longer than 200 pages” friends to watch with you and turn them into nerds as well. Anyway, despite my distinct lack of friends I really don’t like being alone all the time, so hopefully this post will turn at least a few of y’all into Merlinites (yeah, I just coined that term). 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

So what’re you waiting for? We're sold. Related post: Why You Should Be Watching BBC's Sherlock Holmes Image credit: Why I Love and Hate Writing Fiction. I'm taking a class this semester called “The Craft of Fiction,” in which we read and write as much fiction as possible. Sounds like the best thing ever, right? It is. It's also the worst thing ever.

I can't quite figure it out. 1. 2. 3. 5. 6. In short, I'm loving the non-writing part of my fiction class. Is anyone else taking creative writing? The Cold, Hard Truth About Your College Search. My freshman year at college is drawing to a close. As the weather warms, I’m filled with nostalgia about last spring, when I was a mere high school senior desperate to find the perfect college. In my quest for the best institution of higher learning, I learned many things that your guidance counselor won’t tell you about. Here are some ugly truths about the college search: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Post by dac213! Do you have any other cold, hard truths to share with incoming college froshies? Related post: The Truth About College Life. The Perks of Being a Collegiate Loner. Let’s get one thing straight: I am in no way against having friends. I enjoy the perks of collegiate loner-ness, but I wouldn’t mind a companion or two either.

This post was written mainly to remind the collegiate loners (and loners in general) that being alone doesn’t have to be miserable. So here are 10 perks to being a collegiate loner: 1. No drama. If you’re best friends with Lola across the hall, and Lola’s boyfriend is caught in the shower with Siobhan from upstairs, then you will inevitably be drawn into the Battle of the Courtyard when Lola finds out about her boo’s cheatin’ heart (it’s like The Battle of the Green Fork, but worse). 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Post by dac213 (read her first Collegiate Loner post right here)! Any other perks to being a collegiate loner?

A Geek's Guide to Not Getting Bullied. I know being a geek is fun, but it's also difficult; us geeks have to worry about things like getting beaten up after school because we accidentally sat at the jocks' table in the cafeteria. Having moved around a lot and been a part if the geek culture at many different schools, I’ve come up with a couple suggestions to help my fellow nerds and dweebs avoid being bullied. 1. Never ever say the S word out loud. Or the E word, definitely never say the E word. There is nothing an average or not-so-average student hates more than those two words: Easy and Stupid. Particularly if they have just finished a test that they think they failed, and some nerdy kid (aka you) is screeching “That test was so easy, I was offended,” or perhaps “You’d have to be stupid to fail that quiz.” I know that you could have passed that quiz in your sleep, and in your mind, you’d really have to be brain-dead to mistake TRNA for MRNA. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Post by Rachel! 10 Things to Expect from Season 2 of BBC's Sherlock. Season 2 of BBC's Sherlock is finally hitting the United States May 6th, on PBS. May the fan-rejoicing commence! If you don't know what Sherlock is... you poor soul, please do yourself a favor and go watch Season 1. If you've watched both Season 1 and 2 already—well, then you can join me in the utter agony of waiting for Season 3. And finally, if you've watched Season 1 and are breathlessly waiting to find out what happens next, then I welcome you to my utterly shameless (and somewhat spoilerish) list about what to expect in Sherlock's Season 2. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
