Sometimes it’s fascinating to watch an artist at work, and if you’re the sort of person that likes CGI then the last week should have seen you over at Darth Mojo’s blog.

NB This post is spoiler free. Inside twitter, we already have (@) for replies and (#) or topics, do we need ($) for TV spoilers? I ask this question after a weekend where the second I breathed that I was watching either Doctor Who (in the UK, thus I can watch live) or Battlestar Galactica (at some point let me sit you down to talk about how Rapidshare is far far faster than BitTorrent…). Instantly the twitter’s came back. “Don’t say anything,” “Shut up please,” “La la la, I’m not listening” and so on. Firstly, and this is important on
