School Reunion by Toby Whithouse One of the most annoying things about the new Doctor Who series (last year and this) is the incessant return to Rose’s life on Earth. Russell T. Davies has repeatedly said that he likes to explore the world of those left behind and that it grounds the show in emotional … Read more
Far out at the crossroads of I-17 and the 101 Loop situated in one of those shopping centers built around a mega-theatre complex, is Luna Pizza.
