Enjoyed Watching………….
…….this documentary.
Between this and “The Legend of Cool Disco Dan,” which aired a little over a week ago on WHUT-TV, I got a crash-course in D.C. history.
re: “Doctor Who” Season 8: I’m Not As Hard As The Writer Linked Below……
…….but I did feel this season felt a little more uneven than normal. It could be that it took me the whole season to adjust to the new Doctor. And boy, I said I wanted a darker Doctor, but instead I got a dark season. The good episodes were really good, Coleman showed she deserved to be the star of this season, and Season 8 was different, I’ll give it that. With more than 50 episodes into the “Nu Who,” the 50th anniversary, etc., maybe I’m suffering from “Doctor Who” fatigue.
I thought this was amusing!
NOVEMBER 18th UPDATE: This was funny, and GREAT!
And once again, “Children In Need” gets the sneak preview of the Christmas Special!
NOVEMBER 22nd UPDATE: Enjoyed this article.
DECEMBER 1st UPDATE: Okay, it was good to get these “mild spoilers.”
DECEMBER 13th UPDATE: Moffat answers his critics here.
“Supergirl” Coming To CBS, And No-Longer-Teen “Titans” Comes To TNT? WOW!
Didn’t know about that–and didn’t know about how DC is really trying to create a shared TV universe. And I have wanted a grown-up version of The Teen Titans (I don’t count “Young Justice,” because I see that more as a different, “Legion of Superheroes”-type concept) for a loooong time.
The Legend Of Cool “Disco” Dan
Saw this on WHUT-TV last night! Growing up in the shadow of New York City, it was interesting to see the similarities in the contemporary histories of Black communities in NYC and DC.
The Never-Aired 2011 “Wonder Woman” Pilot

This was one of those things I kept meaning to find and watch! It’s OK. Perhaps the problem was the producers tried to modernize the concept a bit too much. Making Wondy a post-911 thuggish solo operative was a bit jarring.
Arundhati Roy On Malala Yousafzai
And her comments on Mahatma Gandhi do mirror what I’ve heard from Pan-Africanists/Black nationalists, from John Henrik Clarke on down.
“The Ages Of The Avengers” Has Been Published!
Which is a big deal to me, since I wrote a chapter, “The Spy King: How Christopher Priest’s Version of the Black Panther Shook Up Earth’s Mightiest Heroes!”
The book’s “Table Of Contents” can be found here.
“Sherlock” Season 4 Is A Go, And I’m The Last To Know! LOL!
Finally looked this up because I’m obsessing about the “Doctor Strange” casting!
WOW!  A “Sherlock” Christmas special next year AND Season 4 followed by a “Doctor Strange” movie in 2016! YES!!!!
NOVEMBER 8th UPDATE: LOL!
DECEMBER 1st UPDATE: LOL!
Obsessed With Muhammad Ali At The Moment
I’ve been watching “The Trials of Muhammad Ali” on loop over the past few days. It’s probably the best portrayal of the Nation of Islam that’s going to be done this decade by a white documentary film crew.
In one of the commentaries, the filmmakers admitted they saw their film as a prequel to “When We Were Kings.” (OCTOBER 29th UPDATE: By the way, this month is the 40th anniversary of that fight.)
