So the Pond's finale with DW gets it's own poster thingie and everything? At least, one assumes the Dalek episode(s) are their finale. Unless they use the Weeping Angels.

The Daleks episode is the first episode of the season so its not their last that's the 5th :p

The BBC have confirmed that Doctor Who will return on September 1 (with the series likely to air on BBC America later the same day), they?ve also released official synopses for the first three episodes!

?Asylum of the Daleks? will kick the series off on BBC One in the UK, with the next four episodes airing on the subsequent Saturdays of the month. If the BBC America schedule for that date is anything to go by, the series opener will be broadcast at 9 p.m. EST, following a marathon of series 6 (although the premiere hasn?t been officially announced for the States, the mysterious gap in an otherwise full schedule seems evidence enough).

But that?s not all! We also have the full synopsis for ?Asylum of the Daleks,? ?Dinosaurs on a Spaceship,? and ?A Town Called Mercy?!

?From Daleks to Dinousaurs and an alien with a grudge, this series features a whole host of guest stars, including: David Bradley, Rupert Graves, Stephen Berkoff, Mike McShane, Ben Browder, Adrian Scarbourgh and Anamaria Marinca.?

Doctor Who executive producer Caroline Skinner has confirmed that the show's title sequence will change every week in the new series.

Speaking to CultBox after the screening of Asylum of the Daleks at London's BFI earlier this week, Skinner told us that a new design of the Doctor Who logo will appear in the title sequence for each episode, reflecting the theme and setting of the story.

The exec revealed that she's looking forward to viewers guessing how the logo will have been tweaked each week.

I'm honestly going to be pretty ticked off if they wind up killing off the Ponds (or one or the other of them, especially Rory I mean COME ON) when they do leave in episode 5 or whatever it is. I know Moffat said it would be the "fall of the Ponds" but um, they also said that about the Doctor (about 200 billion times) and he's still going.

BTW, random thingie here. But that large blue guy that helped the Doctor towards the middle of last series etc (the one who got his head cut off and put in a box lol). Anyone else notice his line when the Doctor was leaving that cave? He says something like, "It's all waiting for you, the fields of Tramador (or something), the FALL OF THE ELEVENTH and the question" Moffat setting up the next regeneration already? I can't imagine Matt Smith doing anymore than another series after this coming one (he'd out do Tennant's run then!).

What? I think he did a great job on the show, and he's been gone now for 3 series right? If he was burnt out or something, he'll be all rested up now. Plus, he wrote Torchwood also and even though the Starz Torchwood wasn't that great (and no, I didn't find it "Americanized" I just thought the story was meh) most of Torchwood up until then was brilliant stuff really.

Also, he's gay. I don't know why that matters. :p

    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I sort of agree with you on that. I had a telescope - a real hefty thing, although only around 500CHF - that got me so fascinated about the stars and planets. I would stare for hours, amazed that I could see the craters of the moon or the rings of Saturn in "realtime" (quotations because, y'know, speed of light and whatnot). A friend of mine has a telescope like the one mentioned in the review, and the pictures are amazing to look at. But there is something missing for me. I may as well just go to NASA's website and look through their gallery.

      As opposed to catching bad press because it's the engine's fault? You didn't really think this through did you? lol

      I think it depends on what you're looking for to do, and the time you have to spare. With my Dwarf 3, I easily spend 3-4 hour sessions; half an hour driving to an un-light polluted place, another half hour unpacking and setting up the smart scope + tripod for equatorial tracking, then 15 more minutes mucking around with settings and shooting calibration frames, spending a few hours shooting, merging with past photo sessions, etc. It's crazy how time flies and I often get home later than I expected. It's something I still need to set aside a good part of an evening to do, all in all. For one session, where you often need like four for best results when it comes to deep space objects. Even with a smart scope like Dwarf 3, regular non-astro photography is still way more approachable to people getting into photography. I find this is a time consuming niche no matter how I go about it. With practice, I can probably begin cutting time here but I think where smart scopes find their home is among people who love to shoot the night sky but don't have the spare time to go deep with the "navigator level" attunement to the night sky itself in addition to everything else. Having said this, _if_ you have even more time to spend on this hobby, it will probably be even more rewarding to do it more by hand and learn the skies and the details of how it all works.
    • Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon

      I misread the title and thought Teams itself would be redesigned. Imagine having this one as a native WinUI app.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame by Sayan Sen Last month Neowin reported on a major issue on Dell systems wherein a bug in its official support tool was leading to endless blue screen of death (BSOD) and restarts. Following our report, Dell officially acknowledged its SupportAssist-related crash issue, confirming that the culprit is not Microsoft's operating system but rather a faulty version of its own remediation software. In a newly published support advisory, Dell stated that version 5.5.16.0 of Dell SupportAssist Remediation and Alienware SupportAssist Remediation can trigger blue screen errors and unexpected system restarts. The company notes that the problematic component operates independently of the main SupportAssist application, meaning users should not remove the primary SupportAssist software when troubleshooting the issue. According to Dell, the crashes are linked specifically to the SupportAssist Remediation service, which is bundled with SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools, and as such it has since released an updated version, 5.5.16.1, which is said to resolve the problem. Affected users are advised to first verify whether version 5.5.16.0 is installed by checking the Installed Apps section in Windows Settings. If so, Dell recommends updating SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools through either SupportAssist's "Update Software" feature or Dell Command Update. Dell also advises users to back up important data before performing the update and to ensure systems remain connected to power throughout the installation process. If you are still having issues though make sure to report to the Dell support forum. As it turns out though Dell is not the only PC maker currently dealing with update-related headaches as HP is also facing a separate but probably equally frustrating issue involving recent Windows Secure Boot updates that were released with recent Windows 11 Patch Tuesdays. Similar to Dell, HP also put up its own support article where it explains the issue. The company says that affected devices could hit a brick wall when booting as they run into a BitLocker recovery loop after the April 2026 updates. The problem appears to affect systems wherein the new UEFI Secure Boot CA 2023 certificates fail to apply properly. As such affected users will find themselves entering their recovery key over and over again despite the system otherwise functioning normally. HP says such PCs should be updated to the latest available BIOS version and configured with the necessary Secure Boot certificates before installing Microsoft's Windows 11 Patch Tuesday updates. Systems that are already experiencing the problem may require BIOS configuration changes to restore normal boot behavior. Admins can find information regarding that in the support article here on HP's official website.
