Spice Up Your Life: 'Rick And Morty' Brings Back 'Mulan' With Saucy McDonald's Petition
There is one thing I really miss about the '90s, the #McDonalds Happy Meal, chowing down on a box full of MSG, eating those ground-up chicken feet and playing with your choking hazard Mulan toy. While it may all sound like a million years ago, #RickandMorty brought the memories flooding back.

What The Shell: Viral Campaign For 'Ghost In The Shell' Is Perfect For Twitter Trolls
It looks like hell in the shell for the upcoming Ghost in the Shell film, while the controversy around it is spreading like the computer virus from within. It hasn't been an easy ride for the live-action reimagining of the manga classic and director Rupert Sanders must be sitting with his head in his hands. Firstly accused of whitewashing, the film was then called out for featuring a scantily clad #ScarlettJohansson and her *erm* assets were quite clearly visible in the trailer. Well, things are about to get worse for Rupert, much worse.

'Doctor Who' Writer Gareth Roberts Tweets Controversial Comments Online
If the Twelfth Doctor from Doctor Who was real, his “attack eyebrows” would certainly be in place if he was aware of a recent development online.

Game Of Clones — Jon Snow Lookalike Is Causing A Stir On Instagram!
While we may not know who Jon Snow's parents are on HBO's Game of thrones, we may just have found another brand of the family tree. If the Instagram of Josiah Martin is anything to go by, then it looks like the "Bastard of Winterfell" has a long lost brother. Under the name "Facialfollicles," Josiah bears more than a slight resemblance to Kit Harington's bearded northerner Jon Snow. Could the surname Martin also be a relation to the book's author, George R.R. Martin? It is all falling into place, but if you still don't believe us...check it out!

Former 'Game of Thrones' Star's Instagram Proves He Is Certainly Still Team Daenerys!
The current Aquaman and former Game of Thrones actor, Jason Momoa, has certainly caused a bit of a *erm* stir with his recent Instagram antics. Inbetween gym pics and late night goings on there is a recent undercurrent of love for Emilia Clarke and her character of Daenerys Targaryen. Momoa is clearly struggling to leave his time on HBO's Game of Thrones, and on-screen wife behind...despite her smothering him with a pillow. Khal Drogo may have been killed off all the way back in Season 1, but Momoa's flurry of Instagram activity towards the show has the rumour mill turning for a Khal/Khaleesi reunion - hey, we have already brought back some dead Starks, give someone else a shot!

The Thirteenth Dr. and Sexism
Doctor Who is a popular T.V. series from the BBC. The Doctor has always been played by a male actor since the first Episode; Played by William Hartnell in 1963 to 1966, in the series The Doctor is only called the Doctor because he doesn't give out his first name. He travels through space and time in an old London police box called the Tardis which is much bigger on the inside, so much bigger it has a swimming pool but it’s never showed. When the Doctor arrives you know there’s going to be trouble…Everywhere he goes he's either fighting aliens or saving the planet from doom. He usually has a companion along for the ride and sometimes they even save him. When the Doctor dies he regenerates into a new body. He’s considered the same Doctor but has a whole new body since the old one has died. Some of the characteristics from the old Doctor have changed, and his personality can be slightly different. Every time the Doctor dies and a regenerates there’s a feeling of loss, we have to get used to the new Doctor all over again. But we haven’t been let down, because the creators of the show seem to always have the perfect replacement. Personally, my favorite Doctor’s were played by David Tennant (10th Doctor) and Peter Capaldi (12th Doctor). Since the BBC has reviled that the new Doctor is female played by actress Jodie Whittaker, I’ve noticed a few comments and articles on social media saying a percentage of people were unhappy and calling those people sexist. Do I think its sexist for people not to want a female Doctor? Well, I know there is sexism out there and was feeling a little concerned about the change and I as a Woman. It leaves so many questions. Since the Doctor has always been a male and regenerates as female will she be a whole different person? (What ever happened to the Doctor's daughter Jenny?)
