Who said the Transformers movies are “car commercial-looking?” What does it look like when Spock Lulz? Where can you wear Tony Stark’s armor? When will we learn Doctor Who’s name? How has social media ruined Luke Skywalker’s life?

In honor of “Q” day in the A-Z Challenge I present five funny pictures
of everyone’s favorite Ferengi: Quark from Star Trek: Deep Space
Nine.

DOCTOR WHO

The 50th Anniversary episode of Doctor Who may have a trio of villains: Zygons, Daleks and the Cybermen (via Huffington Post)

The May 18th episode called “The Name of the Doctor” will lead up to
the Anniversary. Steven Moffat, head writer and executive producer on Doctor Who, says, “The 50th starts here. The Doctor’s secret is out -and everything’s going to change.” There’s also a rumor that they’ll be featuring the other Doctors by digitally inserting him into old episodes, which sucks because they never told the actors.

IRON MAN
