Does Reign: The Conqueror count?

The world is in peril! Quickly, to Twitter!

I was so, so sure that the episode would end with the Ponds showing up in 1970 just as a certain little girl was regenerating alone in New York City, having recently escaped from Madame Kovarian, and finally raising their daughter themselves for the next few decades until it was time to take her to Leadworth to grow…

People have compared Stardust to it. Stardust wasn't as good as The Princess Bride, but it arguably fits your description.

I just found my copy of The Man Who Folded Himself, and I think Charlie Jane is being unfair in her assessment of it. Yes, the protagonist of the novel - Danny - gives his time machine to his own clone at the end of the novel, but though his clone is also named Danny and the earlier Danny is posing as his own Uncle…

Spoilers!

Don't forget Armageddon-era Jesus.

Another word for "alive in the past, but not in the present or future" is "dead." The Doctor wouldn't claim that Hitler's victims weren't really destroyed "because I can still visit them in the 1930s," so I think it's safe to say that the time lock is essentially genocide, regardless of whether or not everyone was…

Maybe he wanted one that no one would care about him changing completely.

There's modern Superman, Action Comics Superman (the Superman of five years ago), Krypto the Superdog, Superman's parents Jor-El and Lara, Supergirl, clone Superboy, Power Girl (the Supergirl of Earth-2), President Calvin Ellis (the Superman of Earth-23), and Earth-2 Superman (standing next to the Earth-2 versions of…

That's Calvin Ellis, the Superman of Earth-23, who is also President of the United States on his world. He got his own story in Action Comics #9. Grant Morrison (who wrote the story) missed the opportunity you mention, since his adoptive human parents were also black.

See, it sounds like a good idea, but I'm afraid the first English words that come out of a rhesus monkey's mouth are going to be "It's Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve!" or "Obama supports death panels!" and I'm going to be all "WHAT HAS SCIENCE WROUGHT?" I can't in good conscience recommend animal uplift until I'm…

Oh, I agree (and I liked the video), but any time you're dealing with a 50-year-old multimedia franchise you're going to come up with wildly varying interpretations of a character. It's been a long time since he was the First Doctor trying to murder a caveman, he didn't have any good options with Sutekh, and although…

Oh, come on. The Umbrella Academy's crazy steampunk monster Eiffel Tower was hilarious and without question the best Eiffel-destroying sequence of all time. More people need to read this book, stat.

This week's episode was the pay-off for the "why would the Doctor execute someone?" shocker we were dealt last week. I'm so glad that turned out to be a planned plot thread rather than a one-off "the Doctor is a cold-blooded killer now. Being a cold-blooded killer is cool" thing that they immediately forgot about.…

There's no sound in a vacuum!

Oh, come on. Obviously it was his defining role as Gregor Samsa in 1991's The Guyver.

Joss Whedon talks like he always has, exactly like a Buffy the Vampire Slayer character. He wasn't trying to sound young; it's just how he talks.

Romney's personal opinions will probably forever be a mystery, but he's committed to a much more conservative platform than George W. Bush was, simply because the Republican party as a whole is much more hardline conservative now and Romney made his stated positions as hardline as possible in order to not lose any…

Yeah, he's always been a liar, since his first incarnation. A liar who would kill Ian and Barbara to protect his secrets (if Susan hadn't stopped him), who would kill a wounded caveman and lie about that (if Ian hadn't stopped him), who would pretend the TARDIS was broken just so that he had an excuse to explore…
