I think the firing happened when Selina said that she needed to talk to both Amy & Mike about their futures. That happened once everyone else left the room after Selina's announcement and before they did a little time jump. So I guess the credits scene was supposed to be a bit of a surprise?

Ray Wise plays something of an archangel. He provides some obscure guidance to Gloria when she arrives in LA. And he imparts some wisdom to Nikki in the Bowling Alley, giving her the renewed purpose of retribution. Gloria wasn't ready to make sense of what Ray Wise was saying and passed him off as a drunk, while Nikki

Night Terrors was actually supposed to appear in the first half of series 6. It's production code puts it in between The Doctor's Wife and The Rebel Flesh. Funnily enough Curse of the Black Spot's production code has it after Let's Kill Hitler instead of Night Terrors. The production codes of previous seasons are all

Apparently it's not exactly a translation field but a translation circuit. There's a wiki page that explains that in The Christmas Invasion the Doctor is revealed to be part of the circuit, so when he is incapacitated the translation circuit is incomplete, which is a plot point in that episode. Also in the End of the

I'm still not over the way they left Carnivale.

The Gitmo parallel didn't really come to me but I guess it works from an American perspective. I saw the Rook plotline as being more of a send up of the recent austerity that was forced upon the BBC by the British Government. Hence why this season's episode order was reduced down to only 6 episodes and why many other

Here's something about the meltdowns that wasn't shown to the audience. Alisha wanted to quit during the first week in the house for two reasons; firstly she felt like production was treating her career as a joke especially after the Elton John photoshoot and secondly because of the branding, she was confused about

They probably were hoping for some drama. Production is notorious for supplying an excess of alcohol whenever situations in the house get too friendly. Like the time production invited male models to the house and Marjorie ended up wasted in a hottub. Or the infamous "You had sex!" moment with Shandi.

Annaliese said in her blog that the prize money they won from the go-sees had to be spent in one hour at the nightclub, otherwise they'd have to give it back to production. Which makes the prize a strange 1 hour binge with one thousand dollars worth of alcohol. They should have let them use it for souvenir shopping.

I'm going to have to dissent from the popular opinion since I was pretty disappointed in this season. It started off great with the first two challenges but everything else has been pale imitations of season 3. For all the talk about the $100,000 prize and about taking things to the next level, the challenges have

They don't want to eliminate him in the main round of competition or he'd have another awkward meltdown backstage. The producers hope to ignore him and that he'll show himself the way out rather than eliminate him. The Lifetime moms love this guy and don't want to see him cry.

The funny thing is that Mila's creation is pretty much on trend. The odd mishmash of two distinct styles of clothes into one is something contemporary designers are playing with. I admit it's a heavily divisive trend and not very commercial.
