Doctor Who season opener: All the references you missed
Doctor Who's second season on Disney kicked off Saturday with "The Robot Revolution." The season arc revolves around new companion Belinda Chandra (Varada Sethu) -- latest in a long tradition of reluctant (or "kidnapped") companions aboard the TARDIS. But that's just the surface level of an episode that contains a surprising number of homages for all its shiny newness, and a real-life story behind the scenes that changed Belinda's very name. The International Star Registry is one of many real-life companies claiming to give you naming rights for objects in space. Given that its services have been used to name stars for Queen Elizabeth II, King Charles III, and Princess Diana, this American company may be more well-known in the UK now.
