SFX's Doctor Who The God Complex Spoiler Free Preview

SFX's Doctor Who The God Complex Spoiler Free Preview:
1 This is a weird one and make no mistake. And we don’t just mean it’s surreal. It’s weirdly structured as well, with a weird tone. A meandering plot that reflects the subject matter. It’s certainly got an intriguing mystery at its heart
2 There are moments like the more extreme episodes of The Prisoner
3 The monster is magnificent…
4 …Although there is one dodgy creature costume as well – unless it was supposed to be dodgy?
5 It’s an in-joke and continuity reference-spotters paradise. One remark alluding to a notorious Tom Baker story will make long-term fans smirk
6 There is a very unexpected final scene. And it’s not a cliffhanger
7 Some of the direction is breathtaking, creating an unsettling and spooky atmosphere. Lots of dolly zooms (think Jaws) and a couple of The Shining moments, plus a great chase scene near the end
8 Not entirely convinced by the major guest star. He seems acting in a different show
9 Another character with companion potential appears
10 There’s a startling Star Trek moment
11 It starts with a voiceover
12 Although it’s pretty much standalone, there are consequences
13 Dwalls
14 Someone has a right hissy fit
15 Is there a Rubik’s cube agenda gong on?
16 The Doctor admits to a previously unrevealed cheesy talent
17 “You’re doing it in your pants”
18 Somebody is fired. First as a joke, then for real
19 Rory keeps getting shown the exit
20 HD viewers need not adjust their sets. It’s supposed to look like that occasionally…
21 It gets quite emotional, but more “Big Bang” emotional than “The Girl Who Waited” emotional
22 The Doctor and somebody unexpected have a Leonardo DiCaprio/Claire Danes moment

HISTORY; What were you told?

HISTORY; What were you told? : For most Scots growing up, history lessons at school consisted of how, Great....Britain was and how our history started with the Norman conquest of england in 1066. If you attended english classes you were treated to the dross of an english playwright in his attempt to give the Stewart’s a heritage lost in the mists of time, Banquo, MacBeth the “tyrant” and all that. If you were lucky and had teachers who cared they might have passed on some of the facts to you. 1603, Scotland’s ruling class deserted her and Scotland started the slippery slope to ruin. `A century of turmoil, religous divisions, cultural divides, continued anglicisation and even a period of english occupation in a so called Commenwealth we reached 1707 and an incorporating Union.   James Stewart VI of Scotland At the heart of all this was a Stewart monarchy who turned its back on the very Nation that spawned it to finally destroy it as the smoke of ruin lifted from Drumossie Moor. ...

Barrowman Reiterates Return Wish

Barrowman Reiterates Return Wish : Who would you like to see appear in Doctor Who ’s fiftieth birthday bash in 2013? Along the way, the Doctor has met some pretty interesting characters that could come back to either help or hinder him in his travels across the Universe. One such character is Captain Jack Harkness, who is surely the twenty first century equivalent of the Brigadier, would be a welcome guest star to help out the Eleventh Doctor when the time comes. Doctor Who fans last saw the good Captain in The End of Time, Part Two , when the Tenth Doctor set him up with Midshipman Frame as a goodbye present. Since then both the Doctor and the Captain have had more than enough fish to fry saving Earth and the Universe. But as the time draws nearer and the Doctor is due to celebrate one of his biggest birthday’s ever, what can we expect? When the series was running during its 10th and 20th anniversaries we were treated to some very special stories. On its 30th and 40th we we...

Badass Man of Steel & Sexy Selina

Now I love my movies, and I especially enjoy superhero movies, so it’s been a great couple of days with  Warner Bros. releasing promotional shots from two of my most anticipated movies of the next couple of years, Superman: Man of Steel and The Dark Knight Rises. The first picture is of Henry Cavill as Superman from Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel. I love Superman because I like the messianic aspects of the character, but I do find him somewhat lacking in the badass department. Kal-El of Krypton may be virtually indestructible but sadly he has always been something of a wimp; too much of a nice guy. So imagine my surprise when the studio releases a photo of our new Supes, not only looking ultra cool in his new threads, but looking like he wants to kick your ass. He’s going to kick your ass and he’s going to enjoy it! Two things I really like about the new suit; I may be wrong as it’s hard to see in this picture, but it looks like they have finally got rid of the super pants, always ...
