Steve Ditko, mid-80s or early 90s. Living in relative obscurity, grinding out forgettable work-for-hire like Transformers coloring books. This utterly ordinary guy, going to the grocery store, living in NYC, and he goes home and he's using original bristol boards for Spider-Man in his kitchen as cutting boards and…

IIRC, Capaldi was very insistent that his costume be something any little kid can put together with street clothes, the better to play pretend with.
Dalekstar Galactica!
See, I always wanted to see the Rory/Doctor relationship move in a "stay the fuck away from my family" direction - The Doctor's actions got both of them killed and resurrected (Rory literally erased from history), their child stripped away from them moments after birth and handed back as a grown woman, and it's…
Pulls off a latex mask and he's actually James Hong.
