[Editor’s Note: The following review of “Doctor Who” Season 10, Episode 10, “The Eaters of the Light” contains spoilers.]
The Rundown
“Doctor Who” gives us whiffs of “Outlander” with this jaunt back to 2nd century Aberdeen, Scotland, adjacent to cairns of standing stones that looks like it could transport a British lady back in time. Instead, the Doctor (Peter Capaldi) and friends are here instead to figure out what happened to the Spanish Ninth Legion (Legio IX Hispana), which disappeared from records around 43 Ad. Naturally, an alien is to blame, but the Doctor sorts it all out in the end after whipping some whiny Roman soldiers and tribal Picts into shape. Although “The Eaters of the Light” was a wildly uneven episode, strong on messaging but weak on sense, it served to test its characters in revealing ways. Sadly, Auton replicant Rory (Arthur Darvill) did not make a cameo as the Last Centurion, although we suppose at this point he might be busy over at Stonehenge or guarding the Pandorica.

The Rundown
“Doctor Who” wades into political territory this week by painting the ruling Monks as fascist overlords who control the media, establish martial law and punish all opponents. It’s not much of a stretch to take this as commentary about the current state of the Western world on both sides of the Pond.
When the situation seems hopeless, a typically Whovian solution is found in a way that only makes sense on this show, but is consistent with goodness and purity of intent winning. In short, love saves the day… again.

The Rundown
Last week’s excellent episode played mind games with us and “Doctor Who’s” characters when it was revealed that everyone’s journey that we were following (in that episode anyway) was fake, just part of an elaborate simulation of Earth by alien beings. While we know that they were all part of a program, it was nevertheless heartbreaking to see these “people,” who definitely seemed to have gained sentience, realize their lives were a lie. We also learned that the Doctor (Peter Capaldi) was supposed to execute Missy (Michelle Gomez), but instead agreed to watch over her for 1,000 years, presumably in the vault. We say “presumably” because, well, when Steven Moffat is writing, sneaky surprises might be in store.

Kim Zolciak-Biermann is expressing her love for Kroy Biermann in another big way. On Thursday evening, the Don't Be Tardy star headed to the All or Nothing Tattoo Studio in Smyrna, Georgia to receive a whole new ink job in honor of her husband. As documented on Snapchat and Instagram, Kim trusted in Brandon Bond to create the meaningful tattoo. "Two Hearts One Love, Two Lives One Dream," read the tattoo located on one side of her chest. The tattoo on the opposite side would spell out "Ask, Believe, Receive." But wait, there's more! Kim's daughter Brielle Biermann, chef Tracey Bloom and Kroy also got new tattoos. "Hey guys. I feel like total ass today,"...

While the Doctor and Bill had some excitement in Regency England with some monsters during a Frost Fair (a celebration the day before a thaw is expected), that was just the framework for the richer character content that the episode delivered. Despite traveling through time and space with the Doctor, Bill only now really saw into the heart, er, hearts, of the alien Time Lord who looks human.

She’s best known for her operatic pipes, but Jackie Evancho is going pop on her latest album.
The America’s Got Talent alum made a sonic departure on new single “Pedestal,” and People has an exclusive first look at music video for the track.
“‘Pedestal’ was one of the first few songs I ever wrote,” Evancho, 17, said. “Its about breaking free of your childhood image and coming into your own; finding out who you are as an adult. I’ve lived this, and I’m so excited to share that story with my fans.”

The Doctor and Bill’s chemistry continued to be perfect even though this was only their first official adventure together. Taking place millennia into the future and on a far-off planet that appeared ideal except for its lack of inhabitants, the episode sneaked in an examination of human nature and cultural fluency within its murder-mystery trappings. This jaunt wasn’t so much about whodunit but why, and despite the “robots taking over” plot, it was the human colonists’ reaction the gave us chills.

What’s worse than a man telling a woman to smile? A robot demanding you smile or else it will kill you and use your bones for calcified fertilizer. Regardless, forcing a smile under duress is just psychologically disturbing even if you don’t factor murder into it.

Juliet Evancho is finally at peace with her body.
The 18-year-old Pittsburgh native recently became one of the faces of the transgender rights movement after younger sister Jackie Evancho — a classical crossover singer who placed second on America’s Got Talent in 2010 — performed the national anthem at President Donald Trump‘s inauguration on Jan. 20. But Juliet wasn’t in the Capital Mall crowd for the controversial appearance. She was in Philadelphia, undergoing sex reassignment surgery.
“Everyone on social media was like, ‘She doesn’t support her sister because she’s singing for Trump,'” Juliet says in the new issue of People.

Jackie Evancho may have sung at the inauguration, but when President Donald Trump rescinded Obama-era protections for transgender people, she changed her tune.
For the new issue of People, the 16-year-old classical vocalist opened up about the backlash she received for her appearance at the Inaugural and how why she wants to sit down with Trump and her trans sister Juliet to discuss transgender rights.
“I because it’s always been about the honor and not about the politics. I try my best to stay out of politics,” says Evancho. But when Trump took action that could harm her sister,...

Three years have passed. Not in The Sandman, but here between these meditations. Within only a few installments of finishing the central series, I couldn’t go on. I read chapter two of The Wake and could think of nothing to say. Characters from all the books were coming back, congregating, ready to pay respects. I wasn’t ready.
What has changed? Everything. Nothing. Years have passed. Can I think of something to say now? Perhaps. Is it worth saying? I don’t know. (But then, I never know.)
The second chapter of The Wake is transitional. It assembles the cast and crew. (It’s good that I’m returning with it and not with a more eventful chapter, because I should probably say some words before we resume, and a more ostentatiously complicated narrative would tempt me to tangle with its knots.)

From the 79 original songs on the Oscar shortlist, five were nominated a week ago on Jan. 15: “Everything Is Awesome” from The Lego Movie, “Glory” from Selma, “Grateful” from Beyond the Lights, “I’m Not Gonna Miss You” from Glen Campbell: I’ll Be Me and “Lost Stars” from Begin Again.
Following a recent trend, none of the nominees have made it to the top of the BIllboard Hot 100 chart, which tracks the success of singles by looking at radio play, online streaming and sales.
Following the announcement of the nominations, “Glory” made its debut at No. 25 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart dated Jan. 31 and is currently No. 92 on the Billboard Hot 100.
When “Everything Was Awesome” debuted in January 2014, the song debuted at No. 7 on the Dance/Electronic Songs chart and peaked at No. 57 on Billboard’s Hot 100.

Terry Pratchett once said that there was no such thing as a plot hole, just history being rewritten. That might work for Steven Moffat, who likes to bring out the timey-wimey to excuse continuity errors, but others are still waiting to find out why the Doctor said he was half-human.
Every writer has their own take on the show, and every writer adds to the mythology of the Doctor. Sometimes though, writers blatantly ignore what’s come before; established facts become blurred when a show runs as long as this one, and given the time travel element, it’s sometimes hard to keep track.
Here are ten moments in the show though can only be described as plot holes; they oppose the existing facts, they make no sense in relation to what we know, and there’s often no kind of explanation for them.
