Clone Wars, Dr Who, and family audiences
on June 16th, 2011 in Science Fiction, Television by Dan | 17 CommentsI’ve started watching the Star Wars: The Clone Wars TV series with Evan. To be honest it’s not a particularly pleasurable experience for either of us. It’s not that I don’t like it, I do. In fact only 4 episodes in it’s started reigniting my interest in the Star Wars…

on March 19th, 2011 in Television by Dan | 15 CommentsRecently over at the Midnight Movie Club I have been accused of being a fanboy. This is an accusation I refute. A geek, yes. But a fanboy? Never.
