Toby Whithouse's Before The Flood tips its top hat to several references from Doctor Who and elsewhere. Here are our spots...
This article contains lots and lots of spoilers for Before The Flood.
The Doctor and his friends may have gone back to before the flood in this episode, but even the 1980s aren’t safe from echoes of the past; if anything, there’s more of them there, on account of it being the past. So here are our geeky viewing notes for this week’s episode...
Before The Revival
The Doctor seemingly opens the episode by addressing the audience. There have been a handful of occasions in the past on which the Doctor speaks straight into the camera and could possibly be talking to the viewers - Tom Baker’s glib “Even the sonic screwdriver won’t get me out of this one” in The Invasion Of Time,...

In honor of the upcoming 50th anniversary of Doctor Who and the BBC special that we’re all either excited about or dreading, Puffin is releasing a series of eBook stories featuring each of the eleven Doctors so far. “The Nameless City” chronicles an adventure of the Second Doctor, accompanied by lovable Scotsman Jamie. As described on Amazon.com,
“When Jamie McCrimmon brings the Second Doctor a mysterious book, little does he realize the danger contained within its pages. The book transports the Tardis to a terrifying glass city on a distant world, where the Archons are intent on getting revenge on the Time Lord for an ancient grudge.”
I will come out and admit that I’m relatively unfamiliar with the Doctors that came before Nine. Like many others, I only discovered and adored the show with the 2005 reboot. So, as research for this review,...

Before you read the following interview I would like you to watch the following 60 second YouTube video. What you will see is a game by Developer and Video Game Journalist Hamish Todd in which you throw “bullets” around a level. Sure, there are enemies in this game, but the themes are not of war and destruction, but a calming and beautiful exploration of music and art as explored through trajectory. It’s quiet, simple and clever. I was lucky enough to be able to speak to Todd about the game, titled Music of the Spheres, how he went about overcoming the inherent issues of promoting a game like this, the impact his background in the writing side of the games industry has had on Music of the Spheres and much more. Read on and discover a shooting game about peace and Islamic Mathematical art.

On Fox's drama "Touch" -- which concludes its first season with a two-hour finale on Thursday, May 31 -- Bodhi Elfman pays Avram, an Hasidic Jew who may have answers to the questions that troubled father Martin Bohm (Kiefer Sutherland) has about his emotionally challenged 11-year-old son, Jake (David Mazouz), who seems to be able to detect world-spanning connections through mysterious numbers.
Series creator Tim Kring appears to have made a connection of his own by casting Elfman in the part.
"I've been working on a character like this on my own," Elfman tells Zap2it, "kind of an Hasidic Jew out of New York. it was something that I had been playing with for a while. Then, when the meeting came up for this type of thing, it happened very fast, just came at me.

Week to week, Touch is in this compelling struggle. The story of the main characters Martin and his son Jake are interesting enough to check in once every week, but the stories surrounding them usually flounder and make the show suffer. Usually we’re introduced to new characters that we will never see again, only to fill up the half hour. But with “Music of the Spheres”, we get a mix of the good and the bad, but ends as one of Touch’s more decent episodes.

As frustrating as I found last week's Touch was almost as much as I liked "Music of the Spheres."
Sometimes the additional storylines work for me while others fall flat. Here, Touch was firing on all cylinders, as each part of the puzzle not only seemed to fit but I also found myself caring about all of the characters.
When Sheri told Marin she didn't think taking him to the park was a good idea, I wished that Marin would have asked her why. There was a specific concern she never voiced it so it was hard to tell whether she was worried for the boy or just trying to keep a tight leash on her patient.
I felt for Martin. As with any kid, the more a parent pushes, the more the child rebels. Jake was no exception. Every time Martin talked about the spelling app, Jake resisted it all the more.

It’ll be at least three more months until fans get a new episode of “Doctor Who”, but they’ll be relieved to know there’s still some hidden nuggets that’ll help tide them over until the annual Christmas episode. “Music of the Spheres” is just one of those, an entertaining eight minute short created for the 2008 “Doctor Who Prom” held at the Royal Albert Hall. One of the least seen performances by David Tennant as the 10th Doctor, it’s certainly one fans will enjoy. We find The Doctor sprawled out on the floor of the Tardis, quill in hand and busy writing on sheets of music. He’s busy composing a symphony based on the gravitational patterns of the universe, a veritable “music of the spheres”. Unfortunately, he’s been so busy he’s left the shielding down, and a Graske teleports in. A diminutive and pesky alien,...

The Doctor Who Christmas Specials have normally been delightful affairs, bridging the events of one season with teases for the forthcoming season. This time, though, The Next Doctor actually kicks off a season of four specials featuring the last time David Tennant will command the Tardis as the doctor as he makes way for young Matthew Smith in 2010.
When the special aired last December, there was intense speculation whether David Morrissey was actually being introduced early as the replacement. It certainly felt that way as we learned the villains would be the Cybermen and that Velile Tshabalala had been added as Morrissey’s companion, a woman named Rosita, which more than echoes the now gone Rose Tyler.
Clearly, that was not the case and was an interesting premise with so-so execution. In short, while visiting London on Christmas Eve, 1851, the Doctor comes up against a new threat but also a man acting,...
