Where’s the Magic?
The first episode of Doctor Who’s Season 9, The Magician Apprentice, has finally premiered. I’ve awaited this episode with some trepidation. I have not been a fan of Moffat’s showrunning as of late, and even less of his writing. Last Read more

It’s Moffatt Who’s Wrong
Steven Moffatt, current show runner for Doctor Who, has put himself in the news again, by declaring all fans are wrong. Yeah, this is coming from the guy that decided he had to rewrite canon history to put his own Read more

Over at my manga blog, I talk about the rescue of the anime series Moribito: Guardian of the Sacred Spirit, or in Japanese, simply, Seirei no Moribito. I’ve loved this series for ages, and one of the things I love Read more
