I'm not sure if it's that simple. Kira Nerys is pretty much our viewpoint character, and her religion is anything but "without uncertainty". She believes in the Prophets, goes to temple, says her prayers — and still struggles with the terrible things she did, her entire life spent watching the Cardassians rape her…

@Surly Driver: Why? She signed up to play a recurring role in another show while 'Caprica' is on hiatus (or whatever); when it was announced, Malcolmson herself was at pains to say that nobody should read into her hiring that either she'd been written out of the show, or cancellation was pending. She was on hiatus,…

Well, that's his opinion and he's entitled to it. Sepinwall loves 'Breaking Bad' and 'United States of Tara' two shows that are about as essential to me as getting an extra pair of testicles grafted to my forehead. Different strokes for different folks…

For Tim Gunn's Next Outburst…
… could he remind Michael D. that patronising your client/model is a seriously dick move? A quick reality check on what the majority of American women actually look like — i.e. not a teenage boy with an eating disorder — would also be vastly entertaining. If you don't actually like…

Of course the RW Queen doesn't have a passport. UK passports have the royal coat of arms on the front page and the following text:

You'd be surprised just how commercial the BBC is. I don't think BBC Worldwide is insensible of the fact that DVD sales (of which Doctor Who makes up a hefty chunk) are down across the board and when it comes to overseas sales the chequebooks aren't as wide open as they used to be. Nor do I think, despite entirely…

If anyone really wants to go with the "Doctor is a dirty ol' perv" meme, consider this: He could shag Donna's grand-dad (played by 81 year-old Bernard Cribbins) and still be a cradle-snatcher. He is at least nine hundred years old, after all.

@Johnny Daytona: I think it has less to do with "scandals" than the simple reality that the BBC is no more recession-proof than any other broadcaster. The BBC has been laying off thousands across its television, radio, on-line and news/current affairs operations for around three years. Don't think anyone was…

Amy is a prostitute only if the kisses on the cheek I've given my mother, granny and numerous female relations constitute tens of thousands of counts of incest.

Well, any show is going to take time to find its feet. Dare I commit BSG-blasphemy here, and say one thing I really didn't like about the first season was waaay too much "comic relief" twitching and head-sex from Gaius Baltar — who, IMO, was much more interesting when he was flat out dangerously unpredictable. I…

>>>So all she's done is show her weak hand,and give him incentive to kill her. And that doesn't occur to her?<<<

phodreaw: Sorry to be nitpicky, but Ron Moore hasn't done any podcasts for 'Caprica' - you're thinking of David Eick. And if my memory serves, Esai Morales has said in several recent interviews that the season is in the can. Sorry folks, you want wholesale reshoots of the back half good luck getting the money out of…

The answer? The makers of the makers fall before the children. Or as a Six and Five put it on a rooftop fifty six years later:

V-Joe Still a Self-Absorbed Douche
Seriously, how thoroughly dickish did Joe have to be to get Tad "killed" AFTER he explained how much the game means to him and how high the stakes are? You know, Sam is right: It's really time for big brother to get his head out of his arse and start getting a grip on the notion…

Noel: Personally, I'm big on the "first-and-last-warning" before going nuclear. But I note that Tribalism does this on a few other blogs (like Alan Sepinwall's) with identical posts. Hell, if you're going to link whore, it's kind of polite to at least pretend you're not astroturfing at the same time.

Ruttling Orange Peel: Not necessarily. I'm a Catholic, and though it has been a very long time since it was compulsory for nuns to wear traditional habits at all times I still hear new postulants referred to as "taking the veil".

Noel: Indeed. If she could just walk the U-87 out of the basement, I think she would have done it by now.

I like how your perverted mind doesn't quite work, Lord Clam.

Putting aside the scary levels of gay panic :), if you squint really hard the U-87 had a rack of Pamela Anderson-ian proportions. Yeah, my socio-sexual development died and started eating tasty fresh brains too — and I don't even have a Ph.D. to show for it.
