The Doctor Is Not Seeing Patients at This Time
Hmm. Remember how Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat made a little prequel video preview-thingie to season 6? He’s made another one for the second half of season 6, and… well, let’s just say it’s not quite as cheerful as the Blink Kitten video I posted earlier. Still, it is a nice — if vaguely depressing — reminder that new episodes of Who will premiere on BBC America on August 27th, so, there’s that, I guess. (Via Blastr)
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.
