Looks like the 'Murricans will be getting the new Who after all. So long as you're willing to pay for it.

Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Ah well, at least it'll probably be available for rental this way. That kind of pricing is why I haven't bought the first season of Carnivàle, and that show was practically made with my tastes in mind.

well, they know that a lot of Dr. Who fans are probably geeks very clever people who will upload/torrent/burn DVDs, so they need to get their money's worth.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This geek who has already uploaded would have bought the set if it were affordable.

Hmm, I'm not sure that my sarcasm came across properly. They've created their own monster by assuming that people would upload/torrent/burn DVDs.

DVDs are usually priced below MSRP, aren't they? Using the HBO model again, all of their dramas are priced at $100, and they actually sell for $65 or so.
I haven't bought the first season of Carnivàle, and that show was practically made with my tastes in mind.Did you like season 2? I don't know how much of my frustration with Carnivàle was due to dealing with it and Galactica at the same time, but I felt like it was playing a limbo game with my expectations.

I liked it, but there were a lot of things that I felt were done poorly in comparison to Season 1. The glacial pace, mystery, and devotion to mood of the previous year were things that made me love it. I also loved the Brother Justin storyline back when he appeared to be a righteous man struggling against his sinister destiny, rather than a mwah-ha-ha-ing cardboard villain.
The only things I liked better about Season 2 were the (largely unrealized) hints that Iris would be her brother's undoing, and the extra 50 IQ points they gave Ben toward the end. Oh, and the more prominent use of the "shake dust" score.

So very much yes. To everything you said, but that one in particular. For a while I thought maybe he was a righteous man serving a wrathful Old Testament Jehovah, which was also fun.
