Spurious Awards Of The Week

Potter rocks, Comic-Con Bingo, Torchwood predictions, the Dark Knight gets animated and loads more

GEORGE RR MARTIN FAN OF THE WEEK

True Blood’s witch, Marnie, tries to calculate how thick the final book A Song Of Ice And Fire will be.

CRITIC OF THE WEEK

We hope Torchwood’s Rex wasn’t talking about the show this week when he said, “The next six hours are gong to be filled with boredom followed by monotony.”

SHADOW PUPPET OF THE WEEK

Good to know Haven isn’t wasting money on CGI when a really bright light and a pair of hands will do…

POSTER OF THE WEEK

TV ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE WEEK
Spurious-spotting reader Pete MacKenzie provided this one for us: “Thought you might like this programme guidance announcement on Syfy this evening – ‘The following programme contains views, opinions and practices of a paranormal nature and is intended for entertainment only.’” Blimey, and we thought Eureka was a hard-hitting documentary. The mind boggles as to what the show could be intended for other than entertainment…

COOLEST THING CONNECTED TO AN UNCOOL THING OF THE WEEK

An R2D2 Xbox is without argument a very cool thing indeed, and will look great next to our TARDIS Blu-ray player (what, you haven’t got a TARDIS Blu-ray player?). Sadly, it’s being launched as part of the publicity push for the unbearably naff-looking Star Wars Kinect. Just try to ignore that part.

RELATIONSHIP ADVICE OF THE WEEK

Caprica’s Zoe Graystone on the downside of dating a Dark Lord Of The Sith.

PIXAR FANTASY OF THE WEEK

What if Pixar had done Captain America, ponders 3D artist Victor Hugo Queiroz.

WHY HASN’T THE WORLD EXPLODED? SCENARIO OF THE WEEK
It’s Captain Kirk interviewing Captain Picard. The zeitgeist has just melted.

ALBUM COVERS OF THE WEEK

The Dark Side Of The Moon cover is a work of subtle genius. Admit it, you want it as a t-shirt. And there are loads more Harry Potter/classic rock mash-ups here.
