Gareth explains to Bob that Terminus wasn’t originally intended to be a cannibal butcher shop, but it ended up that way, not a trap. “You join us or you feed us”, that’s not much of a choice. The conversation was all one sided from Gareth until he mentioned eating Sasha and that’s when Bob springs the truth on them.

They start gagging, spitting, and one even vomits. Then the accusations fly, they might as well have been eating a walker, way to go Bob. Three people are missing and Sasha wan…

They have had to k…

Who’s your favorite Doctor? OK, it’s probably not Peter Capaldi, but he is the Doctor. Like any other Doctor he is very different, but not completely unlike all those that have come before him. He does indeed share traits with his predecessors; he’s still brilliant, still resourceful, and still energetic. And yes, he still has absolutely no dress sense what so ever. He is also loyal, steadfast, and absolutely determined to get to the truth. However, he does have a personality that is all his own, a style that sets him apart from other Doctors. This one has an accent that could curl your hair, looks physically older than most other Doctors, and has a bit of a mean streak.…
