I guess that the BBC have changed their mind (re: the number of Who specials.)

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
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.

Scifi earns most Emmy noms it ever has - nice for BSG and SGA but seriously, Tin Man? That's just not right.
The Andromeda Strain remake with Benjamin Bratt catching Ricky Schroeder's amputated finger to save the world also got an Emmy nod. I've seen speculation that this is proof only 4 miniseries aired in the past year on all of American television.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
More like: the emmy nom committee only saw 4 miniseries in the past year. I think they only saw those that were advertised in Entertainment Weekly.

Wait, so there's only going to be specials, no new seasons, of DW until 2010?!?

i'm going to go into serious withdrawals. though if Tennant is going to leave anytime soon, it might make it more bearable to have some distance between him and a new a Doctor.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Given that Who Specials #'s 3 & 4 are on consecutive nights, methinks that they're parts 1 & 2 of a single story and were counted as one when they said there'd be four.

Oh, and the SJA series two trailer Sumi linked to upthread is not spoilery for US viewers unless you consider Sarah Jane not being dead a spoiler. But, y'know, the Sarah Jane Adventures wouldn't be much fun without Sarah Jane.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Jon, that sort of is a spoiler between parts 1 & 2 of the finale .

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

And "Torchwood" is only a five-part miniseries this year.
Y'know, this will probably make for stronger all-around episodes, instead of letting the shows suffer while they're going through massive internal changes. In a lot of ways, it's far more responsible than what American shows do. I mean, look at how many shows suffered trying to cram shows together during the Writers Strike. But mean, it's going to be a long, "Who"-less year and a half.

And who knows how Scifi will schedule it all. (Although I am sure that they will LOVE a Torchwood mini to add to their stable.)
