Well, it hadn't been cancelled by the time the second episode started airing, though I think that was only on the third day following the premiere. Maybe the execs were travelling that weekend and only had the chance to call in the kill order afterwards?
I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

Ok, was it just me, or was that scene where the Doctor woke from his reminiscence about Charlemagne the hottest David Tennant has ever looked?

Was there something in the first half more traumatic than Melanie Griffith singing?
Traumatic, no. It was just duller, flatter, and more predictable than just about anything I've ever watched. And it featured some of Eric Roberts' worst "acting." It was pretty much your typical haunted house story, without any chills. Melanie Griffith singing was at least amusing in the train wreck sort of way.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So far it's very dark (visually), and it's not making me want to do the work to see it properly.

If your thermal camera can see graffitti on the walls, your house is very haunted and you should leave ASAP.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I liked the first half of Fear Itself this week, but the second half was predictable and lame. I'm also wondering if there is going to be a former Guiding Light star in it every week. Last week Rachel Miner and this week Cynthia Watros.

Art Crawl!!!
Man, I KNEW it couldn't be good when they made it to Earth!!!!
I kept looking at the clock and waiting for the next shoe to drop.
(Meanwhile, I LOVED DW this week - what a very fun episode.)
I'm still all tense from BSG.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I was biting my nails, waiting for the other (both?) shoe to drop, and OMG Earth has been decimated!!! (Now I am of course totally self-concious of the proper usage of that word since DW, and I still don't know if I'm using it right).
All the speculation of what they would find, and they're last hope of Earth has been worn away by time/war/catastrophe and emptied.
SO not expecting them to have gotten to Earth this soon, but in a way I'm relieved. Although this still leaves the final fifth hanging over our heads (and it seems pretty clear that the fifth was on the basestar, and not within the RTF, which narrows it down to Roslin, Baltar, and the unnamed pilots). As well as the new mystery of what the frak happened to Earth. Eeeeee!!! (Loved the completely disgusted look on D'Anna's face on Earth.)

I kept on yelling at the tv "When are they? When are they?!?!!" as they were flying through the atmosphere.
I still love the jokey speculation I read a few years ago, that they would get to Earth in the final ep, and then George Bush would blow them out of the sky, shouting "Terrorists! Terrorists!".
Speaking of love, loved tonight's Doctor Who. What fun! In addition to all the '20s Christie-mystery aspects, the fact that the reverend bore a remarkable resemblance to a Doctor-Who-era Peter Davison gave me a big flashback to "Black Orchid," the last 1920s DW ep I remember.
