Doctor Who and the Guardians of the Galaxy Review

I know I said last time I was going to give you guys my Sherlock theory but that was accidentally deleted.  So while I'm working on re-typing the whole thing I thought I would write a quick review on both the new Doctor Who and Guardians of the Galaxy.

In case you didn't know already I am a huge Marvel fan.  Iron Man has been my all time favorite superhero when I was growing up, I only watched the first movie five billion times in the first month it came out.  And another favorite comic series of mine as a kid was Guardians of the Galaxy (Rocket is the best)!  I was super geeked when I first saw the commercial for it.  I went and saw it the day after it came out in theatres and then again with my sister last saturday.  I really enjoyed it for the fact that it was a little more comedic than most Marvel movies.  Unfortunately, because of this, my sister (not a Marvel fan, or a geek at all in any way) commented while we sat through the credits that she thought it was rather "cheesy."  She just took it for granted that being a Marvel movie it was going to be more serious, with your average team of superheroes going around saving lives.  I forgot that she had no clue who the Guardians were.  And when we watched the extra clip after the credits (which I won't tell you what it was, you'll have to watch the movie for yourself) she was completely lost.  I don't blame her for that last one though.
I thought it was pretty good.  I wasn't too disappointed with it since they hadn't been building up to this movie making obvious references to it in other movies (like the Avengers).  Sorry but I was expecting a lot more out of the Avengers than that.  With as long as we were kept waiting for it and all the movies leading up to it.  Ugh!  Sorry.  Still not over that one.

Doctor Who season eight, review of episode one:
I love the new Doctor!  What did I say guys?  I don't know why everyone was so worked up about Peter Capaldi playing Twelve.  If Steven Moffat was even partially responsible for helping choose the next Doctor I wasn't even remotely worried.  Lots of people were concerned he was too old.  Peter commented that if you think about it, he's too young to play the part if you want to get all technical.  Then some were worried when Moffat said the new Doctor was going to be a little bit rude.  So what?  Look at the other Doctors.

And what about Sherlock?  He's a douchebag, and everyone loves him.
Now we have proof: Peter Capaldi plays an absolutely brilliant Doctor.  All you fan girls that were only in the fandom for the young hot guys playing the Doctor can either realize the true nature of the Doctor or leave.  Don't let the door hit you on the way out.  Who am I kidding?  I hope you trip down the stairs and fall on your dainty little butts / face.
I was especially happy with the first episode.  It was extra long, with references to the tenth Doctor and there were several moments when he really reminded me of Four.
Plus a giant Dinosaur in the middle of London?

How can you beat that?
I'm really looking forward to the rest of this season and lots more before we get a new Doctor.





Quick theories on who or what Missy is:
For those of you who haven't seen episode one or two yet, this will make no sense, so go watch the show.  For those of you that have... I haven't read too much about anyone else theories and the ones that I have don't seem to make much sense; Some people think she might be Madame Kovarian somehow in a different form, or an evil version of Clara.  Like I said: not a lot of sense.  Based on the few seconds we see her in the end of both episodes my first guess was maybe she's a Time Lady possible someone like Rani.  Short version for those of you who don't know Classic Who she was a rival Time Lady, evil genius, basically the female equivalent of the Master.  She could have used her TARDIS to materialize around Gretchen just before the Dalek antibodies got her and she could have easily fixed the clockwork robot.  The garden that they both woke up in could very well be part of her TARDIS.  Maybe she's recruiting people who might have a grudge against the Doctor.
My other theory is based on this picture I accidentally found.

So my guess based on this is that those people basically are dead and only their brains were saved to put in the cyber men.  They're basically creating a fake world for themselves because the reality of what they've become is to harsh, and Missy is either the person making them or is someone like Miss Hartigan from The Next Doctor.

Until next time.

Hello Again!

It's seems like forever and a day that I've written something on here.  Even though I haven't been writing I've been keeping up with the news and you've probably all heard this too but I still want to mention these really quick.  First of all we've gotten a glimpse of the new Avengers movie and right off we know who the villain is (the last movie I thought they were going to do something a little bit more than Loki with a bunch of aliens).

And since it's Ultron I'm guessing they might include Ant Man (aka Dr. Pym), Ultrons creator.  There was talk about an Ant Man movie but it comes out, but since Avengers 2 is scheduled to come out in May 2015 and Ant Man at the end of July '15 I'm not sure how that will work.  Maybe he's just alluded to in the Avengers and then you finally get his story in the Ant Man movie.  That's my guess any way.  I have several other theories but I based on what they've done in past movies this seems the most likely.

Also possibly coming out next year...

SHERLOCK!

With a gap of about two years in between seasons fans of the show were not hopeful of getting the next episode before the end of 2015.  However Martin Freeman hinted at there being a holiday special in December next year.  The news of the special was confirmed by Moffat (although I'm not sure if he confirmed the date).  The special will be followed by a complete, three episode, season.  I'm very excited about this but I remain skeptical of the date and wouldn't be surprised if it got moved to late 2016.

And then we have the first official trailer for the new seasons of Doctor Who.

This came out earlier this month along with several teasers and an accidental leak of the unedited first episode and script.  Apparently when they were sending the footage to the editing team someone accidentally put it on the public website.  It was immediately taken down, and the few people that did see it were asked to keep it secret until it airs.  I've been very tempted to hunt this episode down but since it's coming out next month I guess I'll wait.

Between keeping up with the news, work, and trying to get my Power Wheels ready for the Maker Faire, I haven't had time to do much else, but I did start coming up with some ideas for a portal gun.  I suggested cosplaying at my family reunion this year, and my aunt who is in charge of it said maybe to give it more of a theme to just dress up as a character from your favorite game...  so I said: "Heck I'm going as Chell!"

I would really like to go as one of the Assassins from Assassins Creed but either making or buying all the different weapons is going to get kind of pricey so I'll save that for another time when I've got more money.

Next week: Sherlock 4 theories!

The Real DW Teaser Trailer

The last teaser I had posted on my blog for series 8 was a good fan-made trailer but here is the legit BBC teaser.  This is epic!  And I thought it was coming out in the fall, September at the earliest but August? that's so close I can practically touch it!

DW Series 8 Teaser Trailer!

It's finally here!  Hopefully this means we can expect a commercial with actual footage soon.
