If You Like Intense Techno-Thrillers, You Need to Be Watching Mr. Robot

A hacker works on a laptop inside a security cage

Imagine a show that combines the anti-corporate craziness of Fight Club with the subversive hacker heroism of The Matrix.

I didn’t think the first episode was particularly thrilling, except maybe for the part where they’re trying to keep the virus from reaching a server.

The Doctor’s Hat

The 4th Doctor has fabulous hair. Tom Baker has always been my favorite, probably because he was the first one I saw on television. Doctor Who is still one of my favorite TV shows.

Time Warp

People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint — it’s more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly… time-y wimey… stuff.

BBC Comedy

The BBC should produce an unscripted comedy show starring David Tennant, Matt Smith, Billie Piper and John Barrowman. It would be called “Doctor Whose Line Is It Anyway.”
