Newest Season of Doctor Who

BBC has unleashed a new preview showing off a first look at the next series with Matt Smith, the 11th version of the iconic character. The BBC released our first trailer of the newest season of Doctor Who, due on air in the UK this Spring. The trailer gives us plenty of information about the future of the series, including the Doctor’s new look TARDIS exterior, his new look costume as well as what seems to be some slight visual changes with the show with the show itself seemingly using colder palettes, replacing the orange hues of the show with bluer, cooler colors, seemingly mimicing the change in logo.

It’s always changing. And all we can do, really, is just hang on for the ride. Certain familiar faces are back, such as the Daleks and the Weeping Angels (both of whom were known to be returning before the trailer was made). We also have the Doctor firing a gun and knocking a person out, something he rarely does and usually only under extreme circumstances. Apparently “Geronimo” has become Matt Smith’s catchphrase. It could have been worse.

Refer to, Tennant confirms. “I think Planet of the Dead … was probably the last hurrah for the 10th Doctor in terms of his last untroubled … I mean, he was (always) in mortal danger, but he was loving it. Really, from The Waters of Mars and heading into that final story, the Sword of Damocles is dangling, I think, and that informs everything that goes on. “It’s such an unusual show,” he allows, “because it’s different every week. Literally, it goes to a different place every week, and there’s a different style every week. You know, you can do a comedy episode. You can do a dark, psychological episode. You can have romps. You can have love stories. You can have adventures. Waters of Mars is a very tense, claustrophobic, trapped-in-a-submarine kind of thing. Going into the finale, it becomes a sort of personal epic …

Charmed Special Edition Season 1-8 DVDs Boxset

Charmed Special Edition Season 1-8 Boxset (48 Disc)

Charmed is an American television series that originally aired from October 7, 1998 until May 21, 2006, when its network, The WB, ceased operation. The series was created in 1998 by writer Constance M. Burge and was produced by Aaron Spelling and his Spelling Television company, with the show runner being writer-director Brad Kern.

The series narrative follows the four Halliwell sisters, Prue, Piper, Phoebe and, later, Paige, the culmination of the long Warren line of powerful, good witches. The sisters, despite being perceived as normal by the non-supernatural community, are known as The Charmed Ones, whose prophesied destiny is to battle against evil beings, such as demons and warlocks, in order to protect innocent lives from being endangered. Each sister possesses unique magical powers that grow and evolve, while they also attempt to hold normal working lives in San Francisco. Keeping their paranormal identities separate and secret from their ordinary lives forms part of the series’ tension and challenges, with the exposure of magic having far-reaching consequences on relationships and has resulted in a number of police and FBI investigations throughout the series.

The premiere episode, Something Wicca This Way Comes, pulled in 7.70 million viewers, breaking the record for the highest rated debut for the WB network. This went unchallenged until the series premiere of Smallville in 2001, when it premiered with an audience of 8.40 million viewers. In January 2006, producer Brad Kern declared that Charmed was the longest running hour-long series featuring all female leads (The Facts of Life being a 30 minute sitcom). The series finale, Forever Charmed, ended with a season high of 4.49 million viewers.

Three sisters in San Francisco discover that they are the foretold Charmed Ones, the most powerful good witches the world has ever known. Prue, the beautiful and driven oldest sister, Piper, the earthy and creative middle sister, and Phoebe, the free-spirited youngest, could not be further apart in how they view the world and each other, but they must band together to battle the dark side of the supernatural world and keep their otherworldly witchcraft a secret. Following Prue’s death, another distant sister, Paige, is revealed and joins with Piper and Phoebe to restore the power of the three.

In Season 4, half-sister Paige took over for the dearly departed Prue, to once again form the Charmed Ones and fight evil and save innocents.
