Fandom Friday Tidbits

Let's see what's been happening in the fandom-verse this week!


The Upside Downs
James Corden once again brings it with his sketch about the the Motown singing group "The Upside Downs" with the boys from 'Stranger Things'. Apparently those pearls of Dustin also help him carry a tune.

EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival

First look at the 13th Doctor's outfit

The BBC and Doctor Who have given us our first look at Jodie Whittaker in her full Doctor getup. Many are making references to Mork from 'Mork and Mindy' and Wesley from 'Star Trek: The Next Generation'. I think it looks fun! The Doctor always needs a fab coat, and I bet those shoes/boots are great for running to and from the next adventure. Now the TARDIS exterior on the other hand....a sign of dangerous things to come?
