INCOMING TRANSMISSION: His Majesty The Doctor
Intercepted images from two DOCTOR WHO television specials.
On the left, The Tenth Doctor (David Tennant) tells Ood Sigma in the 2009 Christmas special "The End of Time, Part 1" about accidentally marrying Queen Elizabeth.
On the right, The Tenth Doctor proposes to Queen Elizabeth during a botched attempt to lure out a Zygon in the 2012 50th anniversary special "The Day of the Doctor." He ends up marrying her with The War Doctor (John Hurt) and The Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith) present.
That would mean, in The Tenth Doctor's timeline, the events of The Day of the Doctor" occurred between "The Waters of Mars" (November 2009) and "The End of Time" (December 2009). Of course, The Tenth Doctor has no memory of this after going back to his timeline at the end of the 50th anniversary special.

My Little Pony Into Darkness
The Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special overshadowed it, but MY LITTLE PONY: FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC had its two-part season four premiere this past Saturn's Day and it looked a little familiar.
The season opener finds TwilightSwift Sparkle adapting to her new role as a princess; homepony evolved from being a unicorn to an alicorn (a unicorn with wings) at the end of season three. That's all fine and shit, but WHAT ABOUT HER FRIENDSSSSSSSSS??????!!!!
Turns out, princesses are expected to rule from Canterlot, which would take Twilight Swift away from her friends in Ponyville. Very sad.
Then, the night before her coronation, Princess Celestia (the head pony of Equestria) and her sister Princess Luna disappear, throwing the day & night cycle into disarray and leaving the entire kingdom prey to the darkness! Much danger.
So, Princess Twilight Swift must join her Ponyville posse and team up with a former enemy to find out what happened to the co-ruling sisters and stop the menacing threat at hand. Wow...
Hey, wait a second! This all sounds like something I recently watched. Oh, that's right. It's the basic premise of THOR INTO DARKNESS--Marvel's latest film which saw The Mighty Thor reluctant to take the throne of Asgard because he pines for his lady friend and is later forced to team up with a former enemy (the trickster god and Thor's adopted brother, Loki) to stop the Dark World from destroying the Nine Realms.
Just to make sure of the comparison, let's checklist through this thing:
Dark World attacking...

CHECK!
Teaming up with former enemy...
CHECK! That's Discord, a being of chaos voiced by John de Lancie from Star Trek: TNG and Breaking Bad.
Yggdrasil (or the Tree of Life)...
CHECK! Ponies call it the Tree of Harmony.
Infinity gems...
CHECK! Although, they call them the Elements of Harmony and it's not really wise to keep them all in the same place.
Flashback of sibling rivalry...
CHECK! Sister vs. sister. Rainbow Kamehameha, bitch!
Drinks...
CHECK! Although, I'm pretty sure that was LSD since Twilight Swift was trippin' balls. She drank it about four times, too.
There you have it. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is no different than Marvel Comics. Except with 20% more singing.
Let's just hope for Pony Thanos by the end of the season.

TRAILER: Doctor Who - The Day of the Doctor
Two trailers for DOCTOR WHO - "THE DAY OF THE DOCTOR."
It looks like Xzibit made one hell of a Doctor Who 50th anniversary special. The 76 minute episode premieres on BBC One (UK) and BBC America (US) on November 23rd.
AN ADVENTURE IN SPACE AND TIME, a docudrama that retells the creation of the Doctor Who series, also airs a day or two before the 50th anniversary special. David Bradley (Walder Frey from Game of Thrones and Filch from Harry Potter) plays William Hartnell as the First Doctor.
