TV Highlight Of The Week
Unlike on Harry Hill’s TV Burp , our TV Moment Of The Week isn’t nabbing the accolade in a smirking, ironic way. Lost Girl truly did deliver the greatest Telafantasy moment of the week, hands down. If you still aren’t watching this ever-improving show, then hopefully this will go some way towards rectifying that situation. And no, we’re not just giving it this award because we’re a bunch of pervy blokes… watch it all the way through. You’ll see why… (Note for wary Lost Girls fans who haven’t seen the episode: it’s not spoilery in an arc plot sense, but you may prefer to watch it in context.)

The Return Of The Honorary Portal Award Of The Week
A laser playing the music “Still Alive?” from Portal whilst etching the Aperture logo in a sheet of metal. Quite what possessed Chris DePrisco to create and film this is a complete mystery to us, but he’s already got nearly half a million hits out of it, so it’s clearly more popular than our vid of Matt Smith kicking a football.
Worst Shoes Of The Week
Vans trainers used to be cool. Not any more, thanks to bbee.etsy.com and bloody Twilight [via pinterest.com ]
Radical Superhero Makeover Of The Week
If you weren’t impressed with J M Straczynski’s makeover of Wonder Woman a while back, then how about DC’s latest attempt to woo back fans? No, we jest. This isn’t the new Wonder Woman costume, but an example of the new Spencer Gifts line of officially licensed DC bikinis. Oh, and in the interests of fairness…

Critic Of The Week
Charles Stross come off worse: “Stross writes like an internet puppy: energetically, egotistically, sometimes amusingly, sometimes affectingly, but always irritatingly.”
But his most biting comments were left for Shari S Tepper’s The Waters Rising: “How can one describe it? For f*ck’s sake, it is a quest saga and it has a talking horse. There are puns on the word ‘neigh’.”
League of Legends co-creator responds to report that Arcane was a "financial miss," says "people think we make things like Arcane to sell skins, when in reality we sell skins to make things like Arcane"
James Gunn says his DC shows will likely stick to the "one episode a week" schedule moving forward: "It affords a quality show an opportunity to be discussed"
