Mary Tamm passed away today at the age of 62 after an 18-month battle with cancer. Tamm played the Doctor's companion Romana, alongside Tom Baker. A phenomenal actress, she also had roles on Wire in the Blood, Eastenders, and many great live theatre productions, including Private Lives and Abigail's Party.

"On set and offstage, her earthy northern humour and self-deprecating wit brightened every occasion. She was a consummate actress, and immensely popular

Yes, that is The Doctor riding a horse. It seems the seventh season of "Doctor Who" will take Amy, Rory, and The Doctor to the old west.

Current "Doctor Who" showrunner Steven Moffat put to rest rumors of a "Doctor Who" reboot with a new actor. He tweeted:

Holy s**t, please let this happen! Nothing is officially set up yet, but there is interest from both sides. Matt Smith said in a recent interview:

"Let's get Peter Jackson to direct one and go and make it in New Zealand. I would love to, I will campaign endlessly to come over and film there."

And Peter Jackson thinks that's a good idea too.

"I'm a huge Doctor Who fan, and I think Matt's fantastic. Just name a time and place, and I'll be there!"<

Perhaps the biggest news here is that a DeLorean Motor Company still exists. Based in Humble Texas, they supply parts and occasionally build new cars for DeLorean enthusiasts.

Now, they've announced a new electric version of the car. The company says they will begin selling the car built-to-order in 2013 for around $90,000. They say it will be able to hit 125 miles per hour, and have a range of at least 70 miles per charge.

Still, I can't shake the feeling that if my calculations are corr

Fox has decided not to renew "Terra Nova" for a second season. While the series had some problems, it was definitely showing signs of improvement, and had an amazing series finale. Unfortunately, it didn't have the ratings to justify the expense of each episode.

This does not necessarily mean the series is over. 20th Century Fox TV, which produces the series, is shopping the show to other networks. Maybe it would do better in the hands of Syfy or AMC.

Producer Rick McCallum talks about the challenges involved in making a "Star Wars" live action TV show. There's some good details revealed here. They have over 50 scripts completed, each an hour long. The show will take place between episodes three and four. The working title they have right now is "Star Wars: Underworld." Hopefully by the time they're able to actually produce the show, they'll have come up with something less generic.

Are you looking forward to this being on television in th

Warner Bros. has been sitting on the film adaptation rights to ElfQuest for a long time. They were close to actually making a movie, but now the rights have been acquired by independent filmmakers Stephanie Thorpe and Paula Rhodes. Who are they? They're the people who made this ElfQuest fan-short back in 2011.

The surviving members of Monty Python, along with Robin Williams, have a new project in the works: a sci-fi comedy called "Absolutely Anything."

The Pythons will voice a group of aliens who give an earthling the power to do "absolutely anything." Their reason? To see how much trouble he causes. What can I say, aliens are jerks. There is also a talking dog, voiced by Robin Williams. Of course there is. Still, I'll see almost anything with Monty Python attached to it. Even if director Terry Jo

After last week's 90-minute Season Two premier drew a total of 7.3 million viewers, AMC announced that "The Walking Dead" will return for a third season next Fall.

The current season will run 13 episodes in total, with six airing in the fall, and the rest airing in 2012 starting February 12th.

Hopefully this time the show can continue without so much drama behind the camera.
