It's been all but spelled out that there have been 11 Doctors - while, yes, there is some wiggle room for speculation there's also no hard evidence that there have been more than 11 and there have been plenty of references onscreen to Hartnell being the first incarnation, Troughton the second, etc., etc. Fact is,…

I think some of it is residual memories from the JJ Abrams screenplay from a decade ago where Krypton didn't explode. Plus, honestly, given WB's track record, is it really that far-fetched that they wouldn't have Krypton explode? I'm not saying they did, just that it's certainly feasible.

You're not - but Theta Sigma (or Thete for short) was just a nickname and not meant to be his actual name. If that poster is legit, what pisses me off the most is seeing Alex Kingston's name up on the banner. I am so sick of River Song, and to have her playing a prominent role just makes me ill. Just horrible.

For the last time.....Superman IS NOT A FREAK. They just don't get it.

Lungbarrow is not official - it was from a new adventures novel and as far as I know, none of those are canonical (but they are enjoyable).

It's never really been revealed. At the time of his quitting, it was said he only wanted to commit to one season, found the shooting schedule hectic, etc. etc. Nothing was said about personal problems with producers - and they never said anything disparaging about him either. Then, about a couple of years ago, all of…

Plus I really hate that whole "they've abandoned a lot of the pretense that was in the comics" shit. Really? Cause that's what we need, another superhero movie that looks down on the source material. And my big beef, they're attempting to make Superman fit in with humanity. Fuck. Forgetting for a second that Clark was…

Shoulder pads were big in the 40s and then in the 80s. Just about time for a comeback.

Although I think in the original TV episode there is some reference to his heritage and I think there's some Indian blood in there. Been a while.

There's rarely anything spoilery - most of the items are the usual fluff released by PR companies. io9 should change the title of the column to Morning PR Fluff.

I don't think it's been confirmed that Matt Smith is going to be in the next season. Heck, technically, it hasn't even been confirmed yet that there will be another season (I'm sure there will, just saying no official announcement has been made yet).

The more I hear about Man of Steel the more I loathe everyone involved (or at least the ones who open their mouths). No Zack Snyder, Superman "hasn't been broken"; untalented writers/producers/directors/editors who have no idea what to do with the character and keep trying to "update" him - that's what's broken.

I agree with you for the most part but I can never forgive him for his stubborn - and frankly unbusinesslike - refusal to release the original versions of the first trilogy on dvd/bluray in remastered editions.

I just assumed it was because they were trying to SNEAK into Mordor and giant eagles would have been noticed by the mighty eye of Sauron and quickly dealth with by the flying doohickeys the Ringwraiths were on. Alternately, maybe the eagles just didn't feel like it.

Well, considering Abrams is at the helm expect a couple of years of constant back and forth between rumors and confirmations.

Yes. This would have been the perfect opportunity to get cast Angela Basset in the role, the woman who should have been Storm in the first place.

Yes Halle, fans do love Storm, but they hate YOU in the role.

Agreed. I think the lack of Rick Jones was a huge mistake as well as the idea that Bruce became the Hulk out of a selfless act and not just cause he was a crazy scientist tampering with the laws of nature.

Yes, because Green Lantern's CGI costume and mask worked so, so well.

Why leave it at that? Don't forget the incredibly stupid "cape is CG'd most of the time" and they deliberately didn't put any action sequences in the trailer. Because of course, why would anyone want to promote an action movie as an action movie? You need to try harder WB PR.
