I like both Bryan Fuller and Caroline Dhavernas, but there isn't enough NO in the world for my reaction to an entire tv show about Hannibal Lector.

I loved all of the Hannibal Lector books. I was already going to be watching, but now I'm extra excited to be watching.

Mr. Scola’s wardrobe by Botany 500
Since somebody has to say it, Jenna-Louise Coleman, who played Oswin in last night’s Who premier, will be the new companion after Karen Gillian and Arthur Darvill leave after episode five this season.
I’m a little annoyed that a) the character was killed off the first time we meet her, just like River Song; and b) the character is more than a little bit of a Mary-Sue, just like River Song. Maybe Moffat will do something clever here, but I’m not holding out much hope.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Scola, I had the same thought about her River Song-i-ness.
I suppose the options are A)timeliney fuckery, and she knew who the Doctor was in this episode (which was reasonably foreshadowed in some of her lines) or B)There will be some hand-wavey way that she will get a new-the-same body and properly move forward in the timeline.
If A, they really need to work hard to differentiate her from River (preferably including interactions with River)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This value of Mary Sue is "female whose talents too closely rival those of the show's namesake" and not anything to do with the authorial insert meaning, I'm going to assume--is she really a Mary Sue at that point? She's just someone who knows too much, for varying thresholds of "too".
Given that the only remarkable thing she did was fight the programming as long as she did (and since it was a full conversion, we don't know what the timeline for being subsumed is), and everything else that seemed so remarkable for a mere human is explained pretty simply by her being a Dalek.
We don't know what talents human Oswin actually had that made the Daleks want her whole--we just saw what a Dalek could do if they weren't all the way around the bend.
I don't see how Mary Sue applies...yet.
