Doctor Who: What Goes Bump in the Night

Listen or "Things that Go Bump in the Night"

The Doctor chases after the bogey man as Clara and Danny fail at having a date. Royally.

The Doctor bounces around the TARDIS, talking about evolution. He says that creatures have evolved into perfect hunters and other perfect things. But he wonders if anyone had ever evolved into perfect hiders. So…I have to echo everyone else wondering if he’s also forgotten the Silent. Talk about perfect hiders. Anyway, he talks about when you feel compelled to talk aloud—is it because you subconsciously know you’re not alone? Or when the hair stands up on the back of your neck though there’s no reason? How do you find the perfect hiders? He turns around to his chalkboard, which now reads: “Listen.”

Title drop! And CREDITS!

ANTM: I Whip My Hair Back and Forth

Last time on “ANTM:” Romeo set his sights on Adam but it ended up backfiring when he got drunk and head butted Adam. He then became the first person ever disqualified for breaking the “no tolerance” rule. Meanwhile, Keith likes Kari, Denzel likes Mirjana and Matthew refuses to put a label on whatever’s going on between him and Will. Tyra does a teach about being sexy but Lenox gives up. She continues to give up during their commercial shoot and Tyra punishes her with a 1. Will rose to the top while Adam and Lenox fell into the bottom. Lenox was technically eliminated but saved by Romeo’s departure. Tyra still punished her by only giving her five frames in her next photoshoot. Eleven contestants remain, who will be eliminated tonight? Find out!

LA! The models return home to see Will’s face plastered on the screen. Raelia gives him a hug before Will celebrates in the confessional. He invites Raelia to join him in the Tyra Suite. Apparently they are best friends. Then Ben strolls in and plops down on a chaise, saying he doesn’t know what’s going on in his head. Must. Resist. Dumb. Model. Jokes. Oh, wait, Ben’s just there to get his stuff since he was the last resident of the Tyra Suite. Ben thinks Will’s his biggest competition.

Outlander: The Heart of Darkness

Last time on “Outlander”: Dougal and his merry group of Scots travelled the MacKenzie lands to gather the rent from the people who lived there. Claire went along and her 20th century sensibilities ran contrary to 18th century practices. But she soon becomes one of the boys as she realizes the MacKenzies are raising money for the Jacobite cause. A British soldier arrives to check on Claire, which is where we ended.

CREDITS! I have nothing else to discuss, but I will give a warning: This episode is graphic and violent. I will not use screen caps of anything too gory, but even me talking about it could be a trigger. You have been warned.

Doctor Who: We’re Men! Men in Tights!

Robot of Sherwood or "Robin Hood and the Knights Who Vaporize People"

Clara is a Robin Hood fangirl who gets to live every fangirl's fantasy. The Doctor, meanwhile, tries to figure out what's really going on and stumbles across a spaceship. Of course.

Now an old-hat at traveling with the Doctor, there’s someone Clara’s been dying to meet: Robin Hood. Apparently, she’s a fangirl. The Doctor tells her that Robin Hood doesn’t exist despite the fact that most scholars do believe he was based on a real person and that seems like something the Doctor would know. And breathe. Sorry. But Clara’s insistent, so the Doctor relents. He lands the TARDIS, still ranting about how Robin Hood doesn’t exist. But the arrow now lodged in his TARDIS beg to differ.

(I object!)

CREDITS!

Web Series: Submissions Only

One day, actors Andrew Keenan-Bolger and Kate Wetherhead had an idea. They wanted to keep working together and thought to venture out into the growing world of web series. And what better place to get their inspiration than from their experience as actors?

Now casting: SPOILERS!

ANTM: How Not to Use Your Head

Last time on “ANTM”: Mirjana moved on from Matthew to Denzel while Matthew moved onto Will (!). The models do a photoshoot where they have to hold weird poses because they will flip the pictures for a cool effect. But the big thing was: Makeovers! Kari came close to having a meltdown but no true hair-related breakdowns. In the end, Ben rose to the top while Kari and Chantelle fell into the bottom two. Romeo’s magic proved strong when Chantelle was eliminated. Twelve contestants remain, who will be eliminated tonight? Find out!

The models return to see Ben’s first photo. He and Adam hang out in the Tyra Suite. Adam promises to return the favor when he wins. He says he wants to win the competition to move out of the cubicle. Will, meanwhile, is surprised Chantelle went home.

Keith is in love with Kari. Everyone decides to play truth and dare. Matthew dares Kari to make out with Mirjana. Everyone is excited over that. Kari and Mirjana agree. Everyone thinks it’s sexy, which is a bit hypocritical after everyone went nuts over Will and Matthew’s kiss. Romeo, meanwhile, talks about his dark powers of being able to take people out of the competition. Seriously, it’s freaky.

Outlander: On the Road

Last time on “Outlander”: Everyone gathers at Castle Leoch. Claire this decides this is a great time to escape, but finds many obstacles in the form of a lovesick teenager and several drunken men. When she gets out to the stables, Jamie informs her why this is the worst time to escape. He escorts her back to the castle but they are spotted. Jamie is forced to stand before Colum, where he could risk death by either taking an oath of loyalty or refusing to. Jamie manages to say the right things and gets to play in their reindeer Highlander games. After watching how she handled the death of a man on their boar hunt, Dougal tells Claire she’s coming with him to collect the rent.

CREDITS! What to say this week…Hmm, I guess not much. I think I’ve gushed over them long enough. Sorry, guys.

Doctor Who: Journey to the Center of a Dalek

Into Darkness or “Rehabbing a Dalek”

As Clara befriends a new teacher at her school, she’s pulled into an extreme counseling session between the Doctor and a supposed “good” Dalek. It still kills—but for good!

We open in the middle of a battle as two soldiers try to fend off an attack. But it’s a futile task as their enemies are Daleks. You knew they would pop up soon, right. As one soldier falls to the Daleks, the other finds herself on the TARDIS bridge with the Doctor. She demands to know where her brother is but the Doctor reveals he could only save her. Pointing her gun at him, she identifies herself as Journey Blue and demands to be taken back to her ship, the Aristotle. But the Doctor keeps interrupting her and saying she’s doing it wrong. Finally, she asks politely.

ANTM: Lust and Voodoo

Last week on ANTM: The final fourteen models walk a runway showing off the latest in silly string wear. They moved into the house and Mirjana continued to flirt with Matthew while Keith began wooing Kari. But when Mirjana reveals she has a boyfriend, Matthew cools towards her. Tyra is there on their photoshoot as they also film the opening credits. Keith’s photo rose to the top. After saying Romeo said he wanted her gone, Ivy fell after landing in the bottom two with Will. But Ivy has a chance to come back. Thirteen models remain, who will be eliminated tonight? Find out!

The models return home to look at Keith’s photo on the screen. Matthew makes a joke about looking at “manaconda” all week. “Manaconda” is the nickname Tyra gave to Ketih’s…er…package. Denzel is jealous and talks about losing his father as an infant. He says his grandfather and godfather were his role models. He wants to see an alpha male.

Kari continues to stay with Keith in the Tyra Suite. And they will get treats at the next photoshoot. As they climb into bed, Kari talks about having walls up that Keith is going to have to work to bring down.
Mirjana and Matthew talk and she says she needs her space. He’s chilly to her. Downstairs, Mirjana seems to move on to Denzel because he can make her laugh. Will, meanwhile, is annoyed by Mirjana. Matthew watches as she flirts with Denzel.

Doctor Who: Like Clockwork

Deep Breath or “Call Back”

Steampunk comes to Doctor Who as Moffatt seems to try to stuff as many callbacks into one episode as possible.

(Hmm, the new Jurassic Park movie is looking pretty good)

There’s a dinosaur in Victorian London! It stomps around the River Thames, coming very close to Big Ben. People gather around as a black carriage pulls up. Out pops Vastra, Jenny and Strax, come to investigate. Vastra tells Jenny she hasn’t seen a dinosaur since she was a child as everyone wonders why it’s there. A man believes it is choking and Vastra agrees it has something stuck in its throat. The dinosaur coughs it up—it’s the TARDIS!

Let’s talk about the credits—I like them. They seem to have a heavy gear and cog theme but it looks good. And I like the shot of the eyes from the 50th anniversary.

Outlander: The Not-So Great Escape

Last time on Outlander: Claire got to work as Castle Leoch’s resident healer and the residents kept her busy. Meanwhile, a young boy fell ill after visiting the Black Kirk, said to belong to the Devil himself, and people believed demons took him. Mrs. Fitz’s nephew also falls ill but Claire is the only one who doesn’t believe he is possessed. Geillis warns her to stay away but she doesn’t. After a visit to Geillis’ where Claire experiences some 18th century punishment, she asks Jamie to take her to the Kirk. There, she discovers the boys ate a poisonous plant and she is able to save the boy. In doing so, she makes an enemy of the local priest and assures the fact that Colum would not let such a talented healer go. But a song about a person who fell through the stones and managed to go back gives her hope of returning to 1946 and Frank.

CREDITS! It’s now a tradition, it seems, for me to talk about the credits here. I guess now I must comment on how brilliant it was that they keep the credits faceless. You can still tell who is who, but you don’t actually see their faces. Brilliant.

ANTM: A Deluge of Everything

Last week on ANTM: It was the second half of the casting episode! The remaining 22 contestants had to quickly change and board a subway to take pictures…four times. Most got left behind, leaving only Matthew and Danny standing. Matthew wins the challenge. Romeo continues to dislike Danny and Mirjana jumps on board that wagon. On a beach, Kelly introduces them to their new creative director—Yu Tsai. After some solo pictures in order to get advice from Yu Tsai, the models posed for a group shot on the beach. Tyra, Kelly, Yu and Ms. J went through the pictures and made their final picks. Tyra revealed the finalists and sent the rejects—including Danny—home. Fourteen contestants remain, who will be eliminated tonight? Find out!

Nostalgia Nook: Timmy the Tooth

Growing up, my family would make regular trips to BJ’s warehouse store. I loved these trips for a few reasons: Free food samples, a stop at the computer store across the way and a new Timmy the Tooth video. My sister and I loved these silly little specials.

And now I’m going to tell you why.

Eww, that was a horrible transition. Sorry.

Do I have to put a SPOILER warning up? Really?
