Is Michelle Forbes available?

I'm trying to envision her on the CW (eta: I know WB became CW, but they're very different in my head), and failing. I'm also trying to envision GF without her, and failing at that too. Maybe they'll recast the whole thing with tween-friendly hunks and babes. Misha Barton is between jobs, right?

She tells Anna that Erica's son is the one, and they should use him. Anna tells her she's proud of her, to which she replies, "Thank you, mother." Dun dun DUN!!!

Thanks, P-C

Anyone else surprised the FBI was all, "Sure, aliens, you take the human shooter. No prob."? Granted, he turned out to be a V and the whole thing was a plot but I was like, "Whoah!"

The goverment (and I'm assuming not just the US, but I would like to see a target country that's resisting) has totally rolled over for the aliens. It's pretty shameful. We got to see individual dissent, but TPTB seem to be in love with the Vs.

Simps. You'd think they'd have straightened out extradition when they started issuing Vs passports.

Or maybe they did. If you commit a crime? Your courts. If WE commit a crime? Your courts.

They're going to try make Global Frequency again. CW, huh? Well, I want it to work, but I'm kind of attached to the original version, although it can never be continued.

Huh. Yeah, I like the original pilot. I haven't gotten around to reading the comic, but if this goes to series, I will get around to it more quickly.

Scott Nimerfro wrote for Pushing Daisies, so that's not bad. Otherwise, he's no John Rogers.

Shir, I like that theory. In vague reference to it and general speculation: it does seem like they've been signposting that something big will change with Eleven, given all the prophecies, and what River said about the Doctor being 'younger' and less powerful than when she'd known him later in his life. But every finale since the revamped series began has felt like a let-down, with lots of deus ex machina stuff and sloppy writing in a scramble to tie up loose ends. 'Bad Wolf', reversing time to defeat the Master, and even DoctorDonna (although that wasn't quite as bad) were mostly just disappointing. I'm expecting them to screw up again with whatever the resolution to the prophecies and foreshadowing turns out to be. I hope they don't, of course - a really big exit for Ten and intro for Eleven would be great.

I think it's a really well done first season (they haven't aired past that in the States, and I never got around to acquiring it), and for one that's targeted at the youngest demographic still managed to work up a decent sense of peril.

I'm working my way through the season one DVDs, and I'm very impressed. I thought transferring the Whoniverse to a children's TV setting wouldn't work (as much as that's where it started, it's grown up over the decades). But it's got some good writers, and the young actors seem pretty good, which all helps with hanging on to the 'feel' of Doctor Who.

Did someone mention Ace? Now there was a companion.

Ace.

Rocked hard.

"You wouldn't have done anything so insane as to go against my express instructions not to make any more Nitro-9, would you?"
"What if I had?"
"Can I have some?"

Her and Leela. Those were Companions.

Hey, Sarah wielded a gun in her time as a companion. It's no Nitro-9, but for her time period, she was representing. And she's a fierce mama bear for her timeslot in series one of her adventures. I need to check out the recent stuff. Curses on BBCAm for not sharing with us.

dude! i can barely contain my excitement over the Global Frequency news. that is probably my favorite pilot of a show that never was!
