Maybe not all whovians, but for everyone who voted in Rose Tyler as the best modern companion is going to flip when they see the photo Billie Piper uploaded to Facebook! Whovians, prepare yourself: Billie Piper’s Official Facebook Page just posted this incredible photo… The caption on her page read “Love in SLC! Having a fabulous time!!

My Friend Was Telling Me About a Show He Found

Editorial, Fictional Characters

This holiday season you surround yourself with those you love (or thought you did) and realize things about people that make or break your relationships. I’ve been a Whovian for years. When you’re a Whovian, you can’t help but share you’re fanaticism. I try to do so tastefully and like to think I’ve succeeded in that. The other day my friend called and was like, “Oh, by the way, I know you’re really into sci-fi and stuff, so I thought I’d tell you I started…

The Hanging Tree

Jennifer Lawrence Sings The Hanging Tree

Video

Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen singing ‘The Hanging Tree’ is one instance where the movie did the book incredible justice

If you haven’t seen Mockingjay Part 1 this clip won’t ruin anything for you, but it just might get you super excited for this particular scene!

There’s a moment in the book where Katniss is sitting in a tranquil outdoor setting in District 13 and is asked by one of her entourage to sing. She thinks about it for a moment and then starts to sing the perfect song at the right time.

It goes to show the Girl on Fire is the voice of the revolution.

While I personally have qualms with the movie, it is undeniable that this particular scene, while itself somewhat unimportant in the book, was goose-bump inducing in the theater. The studio did a brilliant job transitioning Suzanne Collins song from paper to screen and made ‘The Hanging Tree’ the vital part of the story that the author wanted it to be. Hats of to Lionsgate for making this moment chilling.

Not only that, but ‘The Hanging Tree’ has put our favorite leading lady Jennifer Lawrence on Billboards top 100 chart.

Batman Through The Ages

Fictional Characters

Ever wonder what the Dark Knight would have looked like in the Middle Ages? During the Revolutionary War? In the Ottoman Empire? Now You Know. Batman originally appeared in Detective Comics in 1939 and he’s been well received ever since. He’s made a few changes through the last 75 years, but what would he have looked like during the Dark Ages? The Renaissance? In other cultures? Artists have depicted and we have a few of our favorites here: Medieval Batman Viking Batman The Real Dark…

10 Things That Happen When You Marathon 3 Seasons of Big Bang Theory in 3 Days

Editorial, Fictional Characters, Television

Binge-watching. Is there any activity better known by Millenials? When we aren’t busy working those obnoxious service jobs or updating Facebook, browsing the latest addition on Netflix is likely your next stop (as a fellow Millenial, this observation is made without judgement). And what’s wrong with that? Well, in this weather: absolutely nothing. But sometimes, coming off a three day binge can be the hardest part.  You find yourself waiting for the wheezing groan of the TARDIS in the garden outside. You imagine intricate deductions…

The Man That Stops The Monsters

Peter Capaldi Makes The Doctor

Editorial, Fictional Characters

Series 8 is officially wrapped and the fandom has chimed in: Peter Capaldi is the best Doctor of New Who. Maybe the best New Who is a little presumptuous. Depending on your source, the best New Who often times is given to David Tennant, and with good reason. All you have to do is watch Series 1-4 1/2 and you can see why. Russell T. Davies did an excellent job rebooting the series with Christopher Eccelston, but it can’t be denied that David Tennant brought…

Would You Watch The Mortal Instruments TV Show?

Editorial, Fictional Characters, Television

The Hollywood Reporter announced that The Mortal Instruments will be renewed not as a movie sequel, but as a TV show (Image Source) So the question is: Would you watch The Mortal Instruments as a TV show? Our answer: Yes. Yes, we most certainly would. If Stargate: SG1 has proven anything, it’s that a TV series following a movie can actually out-do the movie itself. If Game of Thrones has proven anything, it’s that a book series translates better to the small screen rather than…

Did JK Rowling Always Plan For Snape To Love Lily?

How Long Has This Been Going On?

Meanwhile, on Tumblr, someone took the time to solve the problem Professor Snape gave Harry Potter on the first day of class. I think the results will absolutely break your heart. I know it did ours.

How Long Has This Been Going On?

This is unbelievable, right? The thought that from the very beginning JK Rowling knew that Snape loved Harry’s mother brings on this whole new understanding for the way Snape treats Harry. He wasn’t just the difficult teacher and Rowling then adjusted Snape to fit the roll of the pining lover, but Snape was always pining after Lily. And he (and Rowling) had taken the time to put very serious clues into subtly revealing it.

For Potterheads, this is incredible. And heartbreaking. If Harry realized this riddle/problem at any point in his life, then no wonder he named his son after one of the greatest headmasters at Hogwarts. It’s a tribute to a formable foe yet friend.

Think on it Potterheads. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it. You can at least blame the tears on something bothering your eyes.

Thanks to our friends Stuck with Harry Until The Very End for the image!
