The Doctor’s in the Ood for Love
(I said shut up. You try and think of non-horrible puns for article titles while reading and judging 300 awesome TR contest entries.) My apologies to non-Doctor Who fans, because as David Tennant wraps up his final specials as the good Doctor, it looks like there’s going to be a bevy of nerd news about all things TARDIS-related. That includes this 3-minute clip from The End of Time, the two-part Tennant finale, now set to air on BBC America on December 26th. I must say, after watching those Tom Baker commercials yesterday and this clip, I think all Doctors should wear hats of some kind. Although I guess if the preposterously young Matt Smith is going to wear as hat, it would probably end up a propeller beanie. Best leave it alone, I guess. (Via Pop Candy)
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
