Sky 1

Something about Spartacus trailers brings out the Tumblr in me

Whenever they bring out a new trailer, like this one for Spartacus: War of the Damned, something in it lends itself to a gif, I find. More often than not, this involves the forcible insertion of a sword into someone's person. Don't ever change, guys.

Review: House – season 8, episode 19: 'The C-Word'

House is moving ever-closer towards its final episode, 'Everybody Dies', but we're going to have to wait a little longer to find out who. I mean, presumably it's not literally everybody. Unless … plane crash? SARS outbreak? Ooooh ...
