The stars are aligning and heading north to Seattle for Emerald City Comicon 2014. With just 2 months and counting and tickets going fast as The Flash here’s a quick geek guide of my top 14 reasons to go to Emerald City Comicon 2014.
Yes, it’s hard to pick with such a great roster but let’s start with these 7 celebrity guests:
Karen Gillan Yes, Whovians you are being rewarded! Continue reading EMERALD CITY COMICON 2014 Seattle Geek’s Preview
I really don’t want Matt Smith to go. I never want to see the current Doctors go but time marches on and the beloved Time Lord regenerates.
The Eleventh Doctor’s time ends with The Time of the Doctor on Christmas Day.
I can’t help but think about my favorite moments from the Matt Smith era:
Funniest Moments: Continue reading Remembering the Matt Smith DOCTOR WHO Era
A Doctor Who companion is leaping to the big screen! Karen Gillan (Amy Pond of Doctor Who) is joining the cast of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy according to The Hollywood Reporter Heat Vision. She is reportedly playing the villain.
Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana and Dave Bautista are playing Star-Lord, Gamora and Drax. Glenn Close recently joined as a leader of the Nova Corp (an intergalactic police force.)
Lee Pace is playing a villain rumored to be the Collector.
Michael Rooker is playing Yondu – a member of the original Guardians.
I wonder if Continue reading DOCTOR WHO Star Joins GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY
Goodbye Amy & Rory. The married companions left Doctor Who in The Angels Take Manhattan. Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill will be missed. All the previous episodes of this season have been hinting and building to the moment but it was still a bittersweet shock.
This episode was Steven Moffat at the top of his game – twisted, creepy, chilling, moving and uncompromising – we all knew it wasn’t going to be all sewn up with a completely happy ending. Matt Smith and Alex Kingston were perfection. Thank you Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill for giving us Amy and Rory.

Warning: This review contains spoilers!
The unholy alliance of the Borg and Cybermen has shattered. The Federation’s greatest enemies are asking the Enterprise for help?
Can Doctor Who convince Captain Jean-Luc Picard to make the right decision that will save the Federation and entires universes?
Star Trek: The Next Generation/Doctor Who Assimilation 2 #5 is a break in the action of the crossover but still every bit as enjoyable of previous chapters. You could call this a “show my yours and I’ll show you mine” chapter.
Guinan convinces Captain Picard to reveal his experience with the Borg taking us back to the classic “Best of Both Worlds” episodes giving the Time Lord context of why Picard refuses to aid the Borg. The Doctor presses on trying to convince the Captain of the greater evil.
The Doctor fails. It’s up to Amy Pond and it’s a great moment that you could just picture Karen Gillan saying on television. Soon Captain Picard is saying the classic line “it’s bigger on the inside. How it this possible?”
A trip in the Tardis shows Picard the future of the Federation and leads to a course correction.
I commend the writers for capturing the essences of each character from each franchise. Rory, Deanna Troi and Dr. Crusher share moments that make this crossover work. The Borg and Cybermen are battling each other. This issue was a battle of wills between Captain Picard and Doctor Who. The stage is set for an incredible alien encounter for the Doctor and an epic battle with universes at stake.

Cybermen and Borg attacking Federation planets. Doctor Who, Amy and Rory on board the U.S.S. Enterprise. IDW’s out of this world sci-fi crossover takes some surprising twists in this week’s new chapter.
The writers have been playing with the Doctor’s memories. How did he recognize Worf as a Klingon when he’s never met a Klingon? Last issue the Doctor flashed back to his encounter with Kirk and Spock back in a previous life (the fourth Doctor – Tom Baker.)
In this week’s Star Trek: The Next Generation/Doctor Who: Assimilation2 #4 the Time Lord meets the mysterious Guinan. Tipton, Tipton and Lee capture both characters perfectly. This IS how the Doctor and Guinan would act if they met. Both characters can sense the flow of time and when things are abnormal.
Something is definitely not right in the galaxy. The Cybermen/Borg alliance is not what it appears. The conflict takes a wicked turn giving the Federation an unlikely ally. The stage is set for a Captain Picard and Doctor Who showdown.
I’m really enjoying this series. The writers have nailed how these characters would really interact. The Doctor, Amy and Rory’s first time through a Starfleet transporter is classic. This issue delivers on character moments, action and humor. The friendly alliance between the Captain and the Doctor may be taking a twist in coming issues. I’m engaged.

Doctor Who (along with Amy and Rory) are on board the U.S.S. Enterprise! The Time Lord and Captain Jean-Luc Picard’s crew have teamed up in an out of this world sci-fi crossover.
The Borg and Cybermen have formed a frightening alliance. CyberBorg are attacking the Federation. The Doctor’s mind is way off. Last issue the Doctor remembered an encounter with Kirk and Spock back in a previous life (the fourth Doctor – Tom Baker) to be precise.
In Star Trek: The Next Generation/Doctor Who: Assimilation2 #4 the Time Lord meets the timeless Guinan (played in the series by Whoopi Goldberg.) IDW Publishing gave Comic Book Resources an exclusive peek at next week’s chapter. They have more images of the meeting.
This series has been great fun. The creative team has definitely captured the spirit of both series, each character and made a thrilling crossover that works.

Asylum of the Daleks! A classic enemy returns for the first episode of Season Seven according to SFX. This 60’s era Dalek looks like it’s been packed away for while! Steven Moffat is writing this episode featuring Daleks from different eras.
The site also features this first official publicity photo of Doctor Who with Amy and Rory. The married companions are leaving mid-season. Sigh.
This week the second issue of the Star Trek: The Next Generation/Doctor Who: Assimilation2 crossover comes out. The Doctor, Amy and Rory team up with Captain Picard and crew when the Borg and Cybermen united to attack the Federation.
And speaking of classic Daleks…an Imperal Dalek is one of the Icons of Science Fiction currently on exhibition at EMP Museum in Seattle – home of yours truly.
