FYI, Ian McShane was on The Daily Show last night, if folks want to catch a rerun or check online. He mentioned that he just finished a Sexy Beast sequel with Ray Winstone!
This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Also, all these competing warring kingdoms are going to agree to a common communication protocol?
Why not? Iran and North Korea are both online.

Queen "I don't want to get involved in politics" is evil and sleeping with her brother.
Ian McShane told Jon Stewart that they wouldn't be getting to the incest until season two, so you might be right.

Oh, neat! Was he in the original? It's been years since I saw it; I only remember Winstone and um wassname, the scary guy.

Hee.
Oh, What Alan Sepinwall says about Sciffy's new name:
I was so busy making preparations yesterday to go to the "Galactica" screening and the Sci Fi Channel upfront that followed that I never had a chance to weigh in on the channel's plans to rebrand itself as SyFy (see new logo above). The explanations I've heard from Sci Fi and NBC/Universal people range from their wanting to bring in people outside the core fanboy/fangirl audience, to the fact that Sci Fi is a name that can't be trademarked. But the new name seems both silly and too similar to the original (it's supposed to be pronounced the same, though the critics at the "BSG" screening were calling it "See-Fee," or "Sigh-Fee," or "Syeh-fay") to really bring in anyone who's currently skeptical about wanting to watch "Eureka." And the whole move smacks of the approach TV sports coverage takes, where they assume the real sports fans will watch no matter what you do to them, and therefore gear their coverage to bring in non-fans. I hate any strategy that takes the core audience for granted, but this isn't the first time it'll be tried, nor the last.

Yeah, because they are fringe to a world economy which developed the protocol. That is why I followed up with thought that there was a different world power that developed it, and they just adapted it. Of course that is assuming some sort of alternative history that actually led to all this, whereas I suspect they are just thinking "Book of kings with tanks and skyscrapers!". Of course bible really is mostly a history of backwoods tribes. Egypt and especially Babylon are where stuff like the internet would be developed.
[Edit] You know, totally biblically appropriate for Babylon to the ancient nation that develops the internet.

Ben Kingsley was Don Logan (aka scary guy). McShane was the big boss who sent Logan to recruit Ray Winstone. Also a scary guy, but not in the same way as Kingsley's character.
