Also it was driving me crazy trying to figure out who played Malcolm, then I slowed down the end credits (thanks BeebA for making them impossible to read while watching live. not.): Lee Evans. I could have smacked my forehead.
May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I am not liking Carter's new love interest, if that is the reason she's there. Or maybe it was the writing, but she was shrill and overly invested in her proving her smarts. I mean, you're working at Global Dynamics, aren't smarts a given? But on the upside, Carter and Blake are suddenly having way more chemistry now that their whole relationship looks fritzed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My sister was hoping that Rusty would get pelted with cream pies at Comic Con. Any word on fan reaction in person to Children of Earth?
Oh, and Eureka's been picked up for a season 4, but if memory serves they won't start shooting for forever, so don't hold your breath.

“Not dead yet!”
Any word on fan reaction in person to Children of Earth?
Good article over on BBCAmerica.com, ita. Apparently, the crowd began chanting "We want Ianto," ala the creepy children chant when he showed. But he was did his explaining and it sounds like folks were placated. I suppose the fact that they also got to see previews of the next few Doctor Who specials didn't hurt either.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Loved Malcolm, who names units of measure after himself and Quatermass!

Fiona, you might mention that there are some serious spoilers in that link. It doesn't bother me, but others will not be happy.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Any word on fan reaction in person to Children of Earth?
I swear, what I've read just on LJ is like Tara's death and Wash's death magnified to the power of a million. The outrage! The entitlement! THE ASSCAPS!

Especially when the said poster somehow makes Ianto's death a Statement On How Gays Are Treated In The Media.
And brings up Tara's death on Buffy and states it was handled better....
