Nerd boner. It’s something that happens to us geeks, male or female, when awesomely geeky things happen, like two awesomely geeky worlds colliding. And I expect you’re experiencing one right now with the announcement that…
Dr. Who himself, Matt Smith, has landed a role in the upcoming fifth installment of the Terminator franchise.
