DVD Review: Merlin – The Complete First Season
Legends have been used to show us how to live and embolden the spirit of the listener, or the reader. Sometimes, legends embolden the spirit of a whole nation, or even multiple nations. One of these is the Legend of Camelot. We all know the familiar tale of the just and righteous King Arthur and Queen Guinevere; his noble knight Sir Lancelot; his most trusted advisor, friend, and wizard Merlin; and the most famous of all swords, Excalibur. We have all read, or been told of how he brought his knights together, his quest for the Holy Grail, and how he ruled the kingdom of Camelot. We, as a society, never get tired of hearing the legend, or, in our modern era, seeing it brought to life in movies or on TV. Now BBC has brought us the newest incarnation of a classic tale in Merlin: The Complete First Season!

The legend has come true! By the will of the gods, I am alive! I am invincible! I am—Thor!!! -Thor Odinson, Journey Into Mystery volume 1, issue 83
In moving toward the eventual epic Avengers movie, Marvel Studios has made it clear that each of the first Avengers will appear in their own movies first. Well, maybe not The Wasp, but she's (spoilers!) dead anyway. We've seen The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man has his second film on its way in days, and Captain America and Ant Man will each have a movie of their own as well before the projected Spring 2012 Avengers film.

TV Review: Doctor Who – “The Eleventh Hour”
Over the past 5 years Doctor Who has seen a triumphant return to the small screen, bringing with it a host of new additions and a grand attention to both quality and style. Russell T. Davies managed to reintroduce the timeless Timelord to a new generation of Sci-Fi fans, making The Doctor a household name once again. Now RTD has passed on the torch to the fan favorite Steven Moffat, who has given us some of the best episodes of the recent reboot such as "Blink", "The Girl in The Fireplace", and "Silence in the Library", to head up the next chapter in the Doctor's life. With Moffat comes a brand new Doctor, played by newcomer Matt Smith, to take up the Timelord mantle. The question is, how do they fare?
