This week’s I Love Television covers time travel and the upcoming return of Dr. Who.
Let’s talk… TIME TRAVEL. (And no, it’s not just a subject for bespectacled nerds who furiously masturbate to crudely sketched drawings of Princess Leia.) Though often a complete and utter waste of time, the subject of “time travel” can also tell us a lot about ourselves. Example: This Saturday, August 27, at 9:00 p.m., the BBCA network presents the midseason return of Doctor Who—a show normally viewed by those dressed in ill-fitting Star Trek uniforms who violently argue with no one in particular over who would win in a fight between Superman and Wolverine. (Answer: Wolverine… with kryptonite blades.)
And while I’m definitely not one of those “Doctor Who people,” it should be noted that the show’s current incarnation is helmed by writer Steven Moffat, who cowrote the freaking BRILLIANT Sherlock reboot that aired earlier this year—so you know it’s gonna be both smarty-AND- funny pants. Plus there’s a distinct possibility, since this episode is tantalizingly entitled “Let’s Kill Hitler,” that someone’s going to… you know… kill Hitler.
He also puts forth his own plan to use Totino’s Pizza Rolls to thwart Hitler.
