Okay, I’ll admit it: It’s perfectly possible that I was spoiled as a kid, growing up with the BBC and not having commercial breaks in every single television show I watched (Also, having Doctor Who, but that’s another thing altogether).

Doctor Who may be on a Memorial Day Weekend-inspired break here in the US, but that doesn’t mean the speculation stops here. We’re two episodes away from the midseason break, with final episode “A Good Man Goes To War” being promised to be a “game-changing cliffhanger” according to showrunner Steven Moffat. That alone is worth 5 questions, wouldn’t you agree?
Much has been made by the press and people inside the industry about the “death of 3D,” as forecast by this weekend’s lower-than-expected take for 3D screenings of Pirates of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides: People didn’t want to watch Johnny Depp acting camp right in front of their faces!
