Any Comic Con event is incomplete without its fanatic and detailed cosplay section. This year’s London Comic Con had some of the finest of them lot. After all, its only at an event like this, where you can possibly see Batman and Doctor Who sharing a fag, and Captain Jack Sparrow texting, whilst StormTroopers look down upon Trekkies in yellow spacesuits and term them as – fucking nerds. Yep, it all happens here. Not to forget the awesome anime fanbois and fangirls. Here it is then -

This was my 2nd year at the London Comic Con, and unlike last year, this time around, I did get my fair share of celeb spotting. I had my paparazzi moments, as in, I joined the paparazzi army, trying to sneak in a shot here and flash there. And at the end of the day it was all well worth it. I was hell bent on the idea of not spending a single penny on getting autographs from the guests of honours at this year’s London Comic Con (some of them cost around 40 quid, blimey!). And with the help of my very handy Sony DSLR, I managed to get some really good shots which could be well worth hundreds of pounds if I sold them to the Sun. But then, I thought I’ll not let Rupert Murdoch make any money out of my work. So here it is, all for free, for your viewing pleasure.
Say hello to Dr.Emmett Brown – its Chris Lloyd. Seems like he’d shout out 88 miles per hr any moment now.

So we landed on the cliffhanger of Episode 1. The Doctor and his companions are all surrounded by crazy, auto-tuned faceless aliens who resemble Edvard Munch’s ‘The Scream’. And we are revealed that these creatures are called – The Silence ( as prophesied by Prisoner Zero in Series 5, Eleventh Doctor ). Oh wait, I am getting ahead of myself.
The episode starts 3 months after the previous episode. Amy, River and Rory are on the run. Amy and Rory have marks on their bodies which resemble Guy Pearce’s character in Nolan’s Memento. And all of them are trying to escape FBI agents. What the others don’t know is that Delaware has built the perfect insulated chamber for them to park the Tardis and do whatever they like.

The new series of Steven Moffat’s Doctor Who has invaded our TV screens and there is just no escaping the sheer brilliance of Moffat’s writing and the cracking chemistry of the lead characters – Amy Pond, Rory, River Song and the Doctor. Thrown in the mix are a few new characters and references to some old villains. What we get as the final product is nothing less than pure awesomeness. And it helps too for the series opener to be a two-parter. Here’s the 9e3k review.
Episode 1: The Impossible Astronaut
How about we start with a spoiler? The Doctor dies in this one. Yep, in the very first episode, with the whole series left to unveil over the next one year, the Doctor dies within the opening few minutes of the episode. Technically, this is the Doctor which is 200 years older than the present one. Which means, the Doctor has 200 years to live [ Remember, Matt Smith's Doctor's death leaves no more scope for regeneration ].
