Darin Morgan apparently wrote an episode of Those Who Kill earlier this year, but I've not had a chance to watch it.

It's a contract thing, which all production companies who want to use the Daleks also have to abide by. Use them once a year, or pay a ridiculous fee to use them ever again.

You're a droll guy, Rowan.

Okay, I get that you don't like possession plots (and respectfully disagree — particularly with the idea that they only work occasionally).

Surely any possession plot complicates your generalisation? The drama comes from how the character is rapidly losing her agency in the face of an overwhelming force. The horror and damage comes from that point of rupture.

Both reviewer and commenters are saying in unison how this show has essentially reset to its season 1 status quo, so what exactly has gone on this whole season?

Though I do like that they played brother and sister of Being Human. That's kind of cool.

I don't want to criticise the way the show paces itself — since some of the things it did with pacing the Mayor Nicki stuff last season was inspired — but at the same time, the episodes really should add up to more than they do.

Yeah, I hope that Earthbending is at least going to be coherent with the colour of the ground — Korra seems to always be bending concrete, even when she's on different coloured ground. It really bugs me.

I'm excited too, but I hope they shift around the animation from the beta footage that's been released. A lot of the bending is subtly wrong — the earth bending chunks are the wrong colour, for instance, and the water is opaque when it should be translucent.

This is the laziest sketched out show on TV.

* I think it's interesting that "Irzu" manifests as her younger self. I know I risk "reading too much into things" when I make this argument, but the idea of being haunted by a younger, yet better version of yourself is an idea that resonates really strongly with me.

I feel like it's at least somewhat consistent with Irisa's frustrations with Nolan. That he taught her to reject her non-human qualities, (specifically her visions) and her cultural heritage in favour of human culture, since that's the only thing he knew.

Life for the people of Defiance doesn't seem to have changed that much — except for the miners, who are apparently all a lot better off.

I'd agree, and I'd add that I find its politics to be a little troubling, and its science-fiction to be a bit staid.

Oh, yeah, I'm not trying to start shit. It's always made me a little, you know, disappointed, since everyone else seems to really love the show. At leas with something like Arrow I can point to exactly where my opinion diverges from the local consensus, but not so here. It's sort of a mystery.

Hope she was insured, she's leaving behind three hungry, chiseled husbands.

I wish I could stand Person Of Interest. I've always just found it, boring, you know?

Not sure how much effect Sarah Connor is going to have on proceedings this late into the game, but maybe they're trying to tip their playbook for season 3.

The whole Viceroy Cross-Species-Dressing guy is just kind of gone or irrelevant.
