Doctor Who Recreates The Beatles’ Abbey Road Album Cover

Doctor Who Recreates The Beatles' Abby Road Album Cover
By now you’ve all seen the series 9 premiere of Doctor Who. It seems like people are pretty split on whether they liked it or not, but one thing is for sure, Peter Capaldi remains the best part of the show. IMO anyway. And check this out. The Doctor and Clara have recreated the classic Abbey Road album cover. With some help from the Daleks of course.

Interesting that Clara is taking Paul’s place and barefoot. Maybe she will get killed off in this series after all. I don’t think her current death from the last episode will last very long though.

Groom Builds Stargate For His Wedding

Groom Builds Stargate For His Wedding
Ian Milward knows how to throw a wedding. It took him several weeks to build this Stargate for his wedding. And you know what? It turned out awesome. This Stargate ring measures 12-feet in diameter and is nicely detailed with constellations and working LEDs. It is so good it looks like it belongs on the show.

It is very appropriate since the couple first met working at the same hardware store, and connected because of the show. They were inspired by the episode where Jack and Sam get married in front of a gate. So they made it happen.

Star Trek Costumes: Five Decades Of Fashion From The Final Frontier

Star Trek Costumes
I’m really looking forward to Star Trek: Costumes, which is due out in October. It is an in-depth and beautifully illustrated guide to five decades of costume design from the series.

You can expect it to be packed full of new and archival imagery, along with stories and insights from Star Trek costume designers through the years. Check out some of the sample pages below.

From the classic Starfleet uniforms and daringly provocative outfits of The Original Series to flowing Vulcan robes, flamboyant Ferengi fashions, and formidable Klingon wedding attire, Star Trek: Costumes explores how these designs have played a key role in transporting fans to distant worlds and alien cultures over the last five decades.

Adventure Time: The Original Cartoon Title Cards Books

Adventure Time The Original Cartoon Title Cards Vol. 1
I don’t think there has ever been a cartoon quite like Adventure Time. It raises the bar for what an animated show can be with amazing art and amazing storylines. Kids and adults alike love this show. If you watch the show then you know that every episode begins with an awesome looking title card that sets the mood for the episode and gives you an idea of what it is about.

Now you can bring those title cards home and admire them as often as you like in this cool coffee table book titled Adventure Time: The Original Cartoon Title Cards. Volume 1 and volume 2 are out so far covering the first four seasons of the show.

Behind The Scenes Images From “V” The Original Mini-Series

Behind The Scenes Images From “V” The Original Mini-Series

“V” The Original Mini-Series and the mini-series that followed are among my favorite sci-fi shows of all time. Check out this image of series creator Kenneth Johnson in the ship graveyard at Universal. It was taken after the original filming at some point. These ships were simple, yet awesome. I really wish I had some as toys or replicas.

Other images in this set include the shuttle being moved by crane. Yep, these ships actually existed as full sized props. It’s amazing they didn’t break the thing moving it around. I just love these ships. They are so…lizard people!

Irathient Defiance Cosplay

I wasn’t very sure about Defiance at first, but it’s actually a decent Sci-Fi show despite coming from Sy-Fy. So when I saw this awesome Irathient cosplay it made me smile. Alice The Insane looks pretty stunning, not to mention dangerous as an Irathient. She looks like she is a cast member of the show.

She’s so good it’s scary. The photography is by Nick Doulgeris. If the series ever needs an extra alien, they should call her for sure and give her a speaking part.

Battlestar Galactica Vault: The Complete History of the Series 1978-2012

If you are a Battlestar Galactica fan, new or old, you are going to love this book. It takes you behind the scenes with the series’ creators. This book is worth the asking price for the images alone. This is the kind of book that I could sit with for hours. Learn about the special effects, storylines, exclusive interviews and more.

Basically Battlestar Galactica Vault: The Complete History of the Series 1978-2012 is a complete visual history of the show’s evolution, from the original 1978 series all the way up to Caprica and Blood & Chrome. This is a must have for serious fans. Check out a video below to check it out.
