I was rather "meh" on The Day of the Doctor, though I am interested to see what comes next now, and how this return-to-type older Doctor is taken by the newer fans.

The Five(ish) Doctors Rebooted, however, had me in stitches. Best of the anniversary things for sure in my book.

Also I thoroughly enjoyed Thor: Dark World but agree, the dark world itself was rather uninspiring, however I was glad the dark elves were so far removed from the current Peter Jackson "this is what an elf is" to be not so uninspiring.

And Frigga kicking ass. Seriously, Frigga with a sword was awesome. I was all for that.
