SuperGran kicks serious ass.

He has to go undercover and kill the leader of the godless heathens, a Mr... Elijah Cohen.

I thought this was a good episode, but I was a little puzzled by why "turning" the families was supposed to raise an army. After all, being turned seems to just give you the ability to become a dog at will. It doesn't appear to turn you evil, and you're not stuck as a dog. So... A lot of families would just have the…

Man, SyFy sucks. So, the ratings weren't great, and they canceled the show. I get that. But putting the remaining few episodes in a vault until next year, so they can fill up night after night with "ghosthunter" crap... That's just nasty.

"Heavy sweating"? "It only leads to trouble and bad fretting"? Oy freaking vey. They didn't just castrate Rocky Horror, they yanked out the teeth and claws and gave it a lobotomy.

As divisive as Davies' plotting can be, I think he's very good at making you feel things. What I mean is that when he wants to make a sad scene or an exciting scene or whatever, he can really make it happen. A lot of his early Who episodes were very bumpy rides, with stuff that just didn't work... But then right in…

Given that the TV series recently bogged down because Lucas said he couldn't figure out how to do it on a TV budget, the source of this rumor seems particularly iffy. (That and the fact that Lucas has been steadfastly denying any sequel plans for years now.)

@RocktheDebit: Yeah, Mirror Spock's goatee has become shorthand for "evil twin," but the weird thing is that he really wasn't evil!

I'm surprised to hear so much carping about the new characters. I don't think we were supposed to fall in love with them or anything... I think we were supposed to sort of see them through Dean's eyes, as this totally unexpected, kind of off-putting gang that Sam was claiming as a new family. I think that they, along…

I'm a little surprised that Silverstone is considered a big enough star to carry a feature film, these days. Last time I looked, she was starring in TV movies.

Does "Soap" count as sci-fi? It had alien abductions in it... Now, THAT was a series that ended with a maddening cliffhanger!

@CaptainCynic: Nowhere Man was indeed pretty awesome... But as I recall, it DID have an ending, even if it was a downer. It turned out (spoiler warning!) that Greenwood was some sort of secret agent who had been brainwashed to think he was a photographer. HE was the bad guy at the heart of this conspiracy. (Kind of…

It felt really tired to me, like a not particularly inspired mash-up of things we've seen in dozens of other shows. I was a big fan of Samurai Jack, and with that show the first episode left me wanting to see more. With this, I'm not sure if I'll bother to tune in again.

I think Monty Python's explanation of comedy makes a lot more sense.

But how does this idea account for the sadistic chuckles that people get out of Youtube videos where people have terrible accidents or humiliate themselves in public? You know, grandma falls off a skateboard, a newscaster pukes on the air, stuff like that. The people in those accident/humiliation clips aren't…

@baconbot: Well, I think it's a pretty dramatic moment. They've tracked down Walt and they're taking him back to the island to help his father somehow... That's big stuff. But the music isn't just dramatic, it's the kind of music they'd play when something really bad was going down. That, more than anything, may be…

They were obviously throwing a bone to the people who demanded answers for everything, because this was basically all answers, with some little bits of character stuff sprinkled on top. But the whole Walt thing was pretty weird... Not only did it leave us without a clue what was going to happen next, the big tense…

To this day, I can't even think of the Screw-On Head pilot without going into a 20-minute rant about how much Syfy sucks. They passed up THIS so they could air wrestling?

Man. Seth Green STILL looks about 16. He's looked 16 since 1985 or so. That's a quarter century of looking 16!

@Pumhart_von_Steyr: I have a vague memory of Lucas claiming that it was an intentional flub in the script, to show us that Han was just BS-ing Luke and Obi-Wan. I don't know if that's true, but Obi-Wan DOES give Han a rather sardonic look after Han says that.
