Just pick a season and jump in... That’s the beauty if a time travel show. A lot of places have a list of quintessential episodes that newbies should sample - io9.gizmodo.com has a few excellent collections. Try those first.

Btw, am I literally the only person who looks at this scene of flying Aquaman and thinks of this?

So, this is a trend I’m noticing with Trendacosta in particular, not io9 in general. I noticed it close to the time that Annalee Newitz left and Trendacosta started taking the big chair. She seems either unwilling to let things play out, or immediately lash her criticism out at plot devices she may or may not…

Yeah, I’m in Camp Christopher. I’ve screwed around with storing ground beef for years, and cooking it first - as Christopher implies - loses the fat. When you thaw and reheat, you’re left with hampster food.

Unfortunately, I think it’s worse than that. I don’t believe it has anything to do with liking/disliking science fiction, it has far more to do with purposely eschewing context. Charles was the worse example of this, with his constant “rolling of the eyes.”

I rest my case...

Well, descending opinion here from an ex-industry (digital TV industry) dude. We can grouse about it in forums all we want, but it will drive subscribers to CBS’ online service. It’s already started, with estimates at 1.5M subs already on the service.

Yeah, I never understood that edict either. Saying “god” as an exclamatory would basically fall into this category:

“This is a great tip if you have enough room in your fridge for a whole plate of tomatoes”

Please no. The whole “it’s all been a dream” trope was tired long before Dallas decided it the best way to deal with JRs death.

Soooo...while it’s fun to throw baseless claims and repeat internet accusations, you do realize that his wife is Sue Vertue a producers on quite a few BBC shows - and has also contributed her skills to the current runs of Doctor Who and Sherlock, yes?

Sigh - ok, I’ve been sitting on the (relative) side-lines of this debate for a while now... not because I don’t have an opinion (I do, and you’re going to get it) but because a climate has been created where it is nearly impossible to express a dissenting voice without getting painted as sexist or misogynistic. (I’m…

Not sure if this was a clip or an on set photo. If it was on set, they can easily remove the pyramids digitally in post.

It’s probably due to a lack of understanding between the differences between an add-on cable package in the US that is not carried in every US market (BBCA) and one of only three national networks in Britain (BBC1).

Yes, this.

This. We need this.

That was exceptionally well said.

This is, literally, the best thing I have seen written. Ever. And I have been around since before the written word was invented.

Hey hey Cheryl! Jeez, a spoiler alert would have been nice. You bombed those of us not caught up within a few sentences.
