The Network Roundup: Goodbye Ponds

Can’t say that I will miss ya

So the first half of the new season of Dr. Who has wrapped. After many hints and and insinuations, the Pond family has finally left the building. I’m afraid to say that I just won’t miss them. Sure, Karen Gillian was always a pleasure to behold, but their duo’s chemistry on the show just never clicked for me. Actually, I was let down by this whole season.

Dr Who is set to resume starting with the annual Christmas special. Until then, some non-stop Macross news and sad looking Superman statue will have to hold you over. Who is your favorite Dr. Who companion? Anyone excited for the new girl?

Japanator

• Idol(s) of the Week: Macross Week. The ladies of Macross fight for your love!
• First Impressions: Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun. What does Brad think of this new series?
• Japanator Recommends: SDF Macross (PS2). A throwback review of one my favorite games.

Flixist

• Paranormal Activity 4 may tease ‘Latino’ version of PA. Can’t we all just get along?
• Katee Sackhoff is now a female Expendable. Starbuck joins Conviction on deck.
• Wreck-It Ralph’s arcade game gets a retro commercial. Can’t wait to see this.

Tomopop

• Fewture’s Duke Togo is a thing of beauty. Golgo is looking kind of scruffy.
• DCC’s latest is lackluster Frank Miller Superman statue. I can’t stop laughing at this pose!
• Tomopop Review: Max Factory’s Megurine Luka (Tony ver.). Mmmm pink.
