If you want to avoid spoilers, stay away from the Wiki!! I went there last week looking for clarification about one thing in the show's universe and within a minute I had accidentally read the the answer to the whole big mystery. I don't know if there is another wiki for just the tv show, but the one I read seemed to…

While watching the episodes that took place on The Donnager, it was driving me nuts trying to identify the actor that played the Martian interrogator (I'm still confused as to whether the pill he took gave him psychic abilities or, as reported on A.V. Club, turned his eye into a camera to record the interrogation…

At first I couldn't figure out what TSCC was; the Sarah Connor Chronicles was so long ago. Does Fringe count as a post-apocalyptic-time-travel show? At least the final (worst) season was…. I'm still mourning that, as well as countless shows that didn't have time travel but weren't given enough of a chance because they…

12 Monkeys is one of my all time favorite movies, so I was pretty wary that they could do it justice, especially as Terry Gilliam wasn't going to have anything to do with it (he's off creating operas and films and hasn't done any TV sin0ce Monty Python). I wasn't even sure why it needed to be made into a show. What a…

It's Gallifreyan technology.

She wasn't smoking, was she? Now I want to re-watch it and see if and when she was shown with a cigarette. I missed that detail - thanks for pointing it out!

It was an interesting to choice on the part of the show to have Hitler still alive, much less insinuating that he is the The Man in the High Castle. These choices diverge completely from PKD's novel. [In the book, the author of The Grasshopper Lies Heavy (which is a book, not a bunch of films) is identified as…

After he got a red light for answering, "I'm addicted to nicotine," she asked,
"Why do you smoke?"
"Uh, I smoke to remember."
"Remember what?"
"That the world ended."
He looks over and sees that there is no red light.
She says, "Uncuff him," then "My manners! Are you thirsty?" and offers him a bottle of water.
He replies,…

There are black characters in the Neutral Zone.

The woman they arrested was the same woman from the bus who stole one of Juliana's bags, which had Trudy's stuff and two decoy films. They thought she was the one that Trudy had passed the films (which weren't even genuine) to before she was shot and that they had been wrong thinking that Juliana was anything but the…

Of course the Nazi's weren't atheists - they went searching for the Ark of the Covenant and got their faces melted off!

PKD wrote plenty of reality-bending stuff before the 1970's! He even wrote truly mind-f***ing books and stories before he published The Man in the High Castle in 1962. My favorite of his pre-TMITHC books are 'The World Jones Made' (1954) and 'Time Out of Joint' (1958), though there are plenty of other good ones. All…

Good point. The whole episode followed dream logic. Last week I wondered if the substance Kevin drank was a hallucinogen, not a deadly poison, but hallucinogens don't work that way and are too ordinary a substance to fit within this supernatural construct. Plus, I don't think the kid would have buried Kevin if he was…

It could have been a psychedelic. That could call into question everything that happened after the drug took effect. A "magical negro" herbalist would surely know how to distill some very powerful psychedelics and the terms "guide", "other side", and even "death" are all used in classic psychedelic literature. Tim…

If you don't like anything supernatural, why on earth would you watch even a single episode of Lost Girl (RIP)?

Reminds me of the bizarre covers of 80's songs used in the soundtrack of the show Stalker, which highlight how obsessive and creepy and, well, stalker-ish so many "love" songs actually are. Oh, and the cover of "You're the One that I Want" in The Leftovers.

"If a mentally ill person has broken from reality completely and is
incapable of understanding or controlling his or her actions, then no,
they cannot be held responsible."

Milligan's letter to GE could have come straight out of "The Lazlo Letters". Don Novello wrote tons of letters to companies and politicians (including Nixon both during and after his presidency) under the name "Lazlo Toth" and received responses to most of them. The first compilation of letters and responses, "The…

Don't you guys know the aliens have technology to cloak themselves from digital photos?

I just wrote an overly long post saying the same thing (and more) before I got far enough through the comments to see this. So… I agree!
