Doctor Who – File Under: Rumormill & Grain of salt

I’m okay with it!

An un-named source has reported that the Master may be brought back for the upcoming Doctor Who 50th Anniversary special. He/She/It ALSO reports that the BBC is in talks with none other than Sherlock’s Benedict Cumberbatch to portray him!

At this moment, after reading this, if you’re really quiet you can hear fanboys/girls quickly shuffling to change their collective undergarments. I know I just changed mine.

That all being said and grosseties aside, this sounds not only too good to be true, but too “fannish”. There’s been fan-fic of Doctor/Sherlock meet/team-ups for the longest time (and of course the litany of written and drawn slash/fic is difficult to avoid). I’m going to wait and see on this without definitive speculation. It does seem too good to be true as Cumberbatch would make an absolutely BRILLIANT Master.

Benedict Masterbatch

What say you?

Well, Hello Mr. Governor…or is it Dr. Governor?

Two bits of AWESOME Walking Dead News. First, it’s official, the Governor will be in Season 3. Second, he’s already been cast!

David Morrissey, best known to geek-culture as Jackson Lake, the pseudo-Doctor from the 2008 Doctor Who Christmas Special, “The Next Doctor”, will be playing the role of one of the most sinister villains in comic-book, and soon to be TV, history!
