Time Warner Studios Tour Experience
Recently Time Warner offered its customers the opportunity to take a tour through one of their studios called the “Time Warner Cable Studios Tour Experience”. There were several shows that the tour featured, but it was headlined by the Game of Thrones exhibition which HBO is currently touring. Most of the Time Warner tour was just ok, and kind of interesting, but the Game of Thrones exhibit made it worth my while.
The Game of Thrones exhibit featured several props used in the show. My favorite prop there had to be Jamie’s severed hand. It surprisingly looked faker then I thought it would. I guess they never really get too close to it in the series, or perhaps they have different hands pending on what they need to be used for? There were several costume pieces that were roped off, and grouped together nicely. At the end of the tour you were given the opportunity to take a picture on the Iron Throne. It’s just as uncomfortable as described. My one regret is that I wasn’t wearing something to make me look more badass as I sat upon the throne.

50 Years of Time and Space: The Doctor Who Anniversary
**There will be spoilers in the article, so if you have not yet seen the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who yet, I would advise not reading this!**
Saturday, November 23rd was a very important day for Whovians all around the world. Especially for myself. This was also the first time ever that Doctor Who was simultaneously broadcasted to over 75 countries all over the globe, as Doctor Who was celebrating its 50th anniversary.
To be quite honest, I wasn’t sure what to expect from what was going to be one of the most important episodes in Doctor Who history. I was excited, of course, (even switched shifts with a co-worker so that I could have that day free), but at the same time I was nervous that my expectations were too high and that the episode wouldn’t be as amazing as I’d dreamt it would be.
For over a year, Whovians were speculating who would be in it and what the plot would be. How many Doctors will they bring back? Will we get to see Continue reading
