Navy Test Sci Fi Gun

Sometimes here its not about the movies or genre it is how it influences real life. The Navy has tested a gun that instead of using traditional gun powder it uses an electromagnetic force to propell the projectile to its target in a manner that is much faster and much more accurate then the conventional way.

Navy Tests Incredible Sci-Fi Weapon

(Full Story at Live Science)

The railgun has been a featured weapon in many science fiction universes, such as the new "Battlestar Galactica" series. It has also achieved newfound popularity among the 20-something-and-under generation for its devastating ability to instantaneously shoot a "slug" through walls and through multiple enemies in video games such as the "Quake" series of first person shooters.

The Navy's motivation? Simple destruction.

The railgun's high-velocity projectile will destroy targets with sheer kinetic energy rather than with conventional explosives.

The shows theme is something familiar from  what I can gather from the press release and the about page in BBC America (below), A teenage boy that is related to Abraham Van Helsing has a destiny to fulfill and become a warrior against the dark forces. Reminds me of Buffy the Vampire Slayer a bit but with a little darker tone.

Dr Who End of Time Part 2 Trailer

So the the Master returns and something goes wrong with hid resurrection and he is a raving maniac. He assumes control of a device that converts every human into a copy of him even President Obama ( I thought that was actually quite funny ) and in the dark the Timelords are returning from the dead.
