I can't think up a good title right now

doctorwho:

Here is the first launch art for Doctor Who Series 7.
Here’s the description:

The image shows Amy Pond being carried by an injured, grim-faced Doctor. They’re both surrounded by Daleks that have been encountered during different eras of the Time Lord’s travels.
A Dalek on the right of the picture does not have any of the vertical grille-like slats that have become a familiar feature, indicating it’s a version the Doctor faced when he first met his oldest enemies on Skaro. And on the left there’s a Special Weapons Dalek, last seen in the 1988 story, Remembrance of the Daleks.
It’s a fiery and exciting sign of what’s to come in the new series!

Speculate away….
We also have the launch trailer for Series 7 coming in six hours so tuck this blog away in its own tab and come back at 6am UK time/1am EDT/10pm PDT
Here’s a direct download for a very big version of the image

Honestly, I don’t like this picture. For a lot of reasons, actually.
I don’t like how it’s another teal and orange poster.
It’s got the Daleks. I am so damn sick of the fucking Daleks I would be cool with never seeing them again.
I don’t want to see Amy die. I love Amy and Rory (where is Rory, by the way?), and I really don’t want to see them go (this one is more a personal gripe than anything actually wrong with the poster).
I don’t like that it kind of makes The Doctor look like this huge serious action hero. He’s not (at least, not as I like to think of him.), he’s smart and quirky and fun and maybe a little bit scary sometimes. This poster is none of those things. This poster is “We have a budget now!”.
But I don’t actually think The Doctor holding a dead Amy is what’s wrong with this poster as has been suggested. I don’t think it’s totally mysoginistic, and I don’t especially think “Oh, Amy’s dead? She’s totally helpless.” (though I do get why that pose may make some people who are unaware of the show think that). I think it more eludes to the end of season 5, when The Doctor picked up a 7-year-old Amy to take her back inside her house.
But we have proof, yet again, that studio-made posters are boring as shit. Here’s to waiting for the awesome fan-art ones that are sure to come.

Your weekly dose of stupid hate groups

Apparently, the falsely named One Million Moms hate group are kinda pissed about all the announcements DC and Marvel had to offer about gay characters. Because that’s what hate groups totally do.

According to their site:

Marvel, now owned by Disney, followed DC Comics’ announcement with a surprise of their own. Northstar, Marvel’s first openly gay hero, is going to tie the knot with his boyfriend in the current issue of “Astonishing X-Men.” This is the first same-sex wedding in a superhero comic book.

To which I’d like to point out that they clearly didn’t do their research:
