We’ve got to say that seeing Elisabeth Sladen in this brought a weird mixture of sadness and joy.
The entire bit was very well done.
We’re pretty sure Mike Hawthorne should be involved with all future Catwoman adventures.

Zombie fighting Michael Jackson was the best Michael Jackson.
There are more zombie Twarts on Comic Twart this week.

Springfield Punx, the site dedicated to Simpsonizing most everything in pop culture, has created many Dr Who characters along those lines. He calls is Whosday.
Any Whosday makes a fine moment of Who. We’ve shared three of our recent favorites in this post. The other two are below the cut.
One can view the International Space Station ISS from the ground. It’s a fairly large piece of orbiting human engineering. But what of the interstaller ships of fiction. The ones so large they block out suns just before the fatal attack?
Recently, the Lounge of the Lab Lemming explored this very concept.
Science fiction generally depicts people walking around on the ground, or starships floating close above a planet, but with little connection between the two; The only time I can recall people on the ground seeing spacecraft above are when the Death Star explodes in Return of the Jedi, and when the remains of the Enterprise re-enter the atmosphere in Star Trek 3. But if you can see the ISS from here on Earth, then surely a larger science fiction (or alien) spacecraft would be brighter still.

The Nerdist caught our eye with it’s ‘Make Cool Stuff: Halloween Edition’ featuring the robot Dalek pumpkin. They didn’t stop there, though. Be sure to check out their entire post.
Instructions on building the actual robot Dalek can be found on Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories.
It’s a radio-controlled robotic Dalek that can move around and turn its head. Oh, and did I mention that it’s a pumpkin?
Say what you will about the wonderful idea of having “loader technology”(please remember your ALIENS) but that Vice President of operations is going to regret calling that robot a slave.
“Engineers at Raytheon-Sarcos in Salt Lake City demonstrated a unique set of tele-operated robotic arms attached to a modified Ditch Witch. With no training at all, one immediately meshes with the feelings and actions of the machine. It mirrored everything one does with their arms, wrists and shoulders.”
