| Watch Now: More Preview Clips From Opening Episode Of ‘Doctor Who’ Series 6 Posted: 13 Apr 2011 03:31 PM PDT  The BBC has released two new clips from the first episode of Doctor Who Series 6, entitled The Impossible Astronaut. Directed by Toby Haynes, written by showrunner Steven Moffat, and filmed on-location in the United States, The Impossible Astronaut is the first part of an adventure that concludes in the second episode, Day of the Moon. You can view the preview clips at the bottom of this post -- but be warned again, for more spoilery goodness is abound! The videos released by BBC seem to be near the beginning of the episode, featuring a reunion between the Stetson-wearing Doctor and his companions, and a deep but dark conversation between the heroes inside the TARDIS as they ask the Doctor for his help "without asking why." There's a wonderful reference in the second clip to the moment of when Amy first met The Doctor, which is a nice touch. Those after clues to the opening episodes might want to make note that the Doctor is only wearing the Stetson in one of the clips... In the words of River Song herself, "Spoilers...!" [...]      |

| A Peek At Beast’s Castle At Disney World’s New Fantasyland Posted: 13 Apr 2011 08:44 AM PDT  If you've been to the Magic Kingdom at Disney World in Florida recently, you've seen that the Fantasyland area is under heavy construction -- that's because the area is currently undergoing a major expansion that will nearly double the size of the original Fantasyland. One of the main objectives of the expansion is to add a whole bunch of new Beauty and the Beast-themed attractions, eateries, and architecture, including Beast's Castle! Check out the image here below, via Disney Parks Blog, that provides a sneak peek of Beast's Castle, which will house the Be Our Guest restaurant, scheduled to open in late 2012. The restaurant is said to "offer a lavish dining experience in the castle's elegant ballroom, gallery and mysterious "west-wing." Eventually, other Beauty and the Beast-themed buildings will open around the Castle, like Gaston's Tavern, Bonjour! Village Gifts, and the cottage of Belle's father, Maurice. And of course, there will be a meet-and-greet with Belle and her friends [...]      |
