There’s an excellent analytical article on EW.com, “Why Orphan Black actually needs more from Tatiana Maslany.” And a terrific short video with all the actors at the end.

I just watched the seventh episode of Dig, and I think this episode is where it all starts to be worthwhile. io9 has not been a fan of this series, but I have been watching it because I’m a fan of Jason Isaacs and showrunner Gideon Raff.

and because of that bulldozer Joni Mitchell wrote, so memorably, “Don’t it always seem to go, you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone. They paved Paradise and put up a parking lot.”

Re: renewal for Person of Interest, here's a quote from the TV Guide interview with the showrunners:

Wondering about the Vegas odds on this one ...

separated at birth?

Neal Stephenson has just released a teaser comprising the first 26 pages of his new novel Seveneves. The first words? "The moon blew up without warning and for no apparent reason."

Yeah, if stuff in the future never changes, that means that new timelines are spawned off into parallel realities — and the older timelines just remain as they were

That's what subtitle files are for.

The show became completely different—at least potentially—the moment that our Cole met the younger versions of Jones and himself (in the penultimate episode of the first season). That's because there are now dozens of ways that information can be transmitted both forward and backward in time, without even depending on…

final season casting news on Continuum:

I loved this 2008 Scientific American article by Lawrence Krauss and Robert Scherrer ...

I'd add The Black Guardian (from The Keys to Time), and drop the monster from Midnight (oh so tired of Lord the Flies retcons).

Finch's remark that if and when he picks up a gun to use that would mean that things were really fucked up, is a signal to me that Finch will do exactly that in a horrible situation... possibly faced with the death of Reese, Bear, Root, or his fiancee.

I'm as sad as losing a close family member.

Yeah — that's been awful.

thus far, The Machine team has been trying to wage war at the source code level, further down.

Literally Laugh Out Loud!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this show, but they really need to explain why Samaritan and The Machine have gone on vacation during their war. That's not a decent strategy for Super AIs to pursue. Spring Break ain't their thing.

I am actually kind of pissed at Person of Interest — it's like, oh yeah, Samaritan and The Machine are at war, but let's all just take a nap ... we can always go back to war later.
