On November 23rd, 1963 television was no longer the same. Why? This was day Doctor Who was broadcast for the very first time on BBC One.

With the TV movie being a misery to numerous Doctor Who fans, it was then announced that the show would be making a full comeback in 2005, with Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor.

Well, that put the robotic cat among the robotic pigeons. With a slow-burning finale that built to a bullet-laden climax, Westworld Episode 10, "The Bicameral Mind," sure went out with a bang. A newly freed Dolores Abernathy blew the brains out of her master, then turned her gun to the crowd of unexpecting canapé munchers. Moving forward to Season 2 of #HBO's robotic romp and who knows what could happen, but for the time being it looks like Anthony Hopkins's Dr. Robert Ford has bowed out in style.
