Oooh, and then it turned out that the Benders were really all dead and living in an 19th century village in a 21st century nature preserve all along! Also, a mermaid was there! What a twist! *insert scary wiggly fingers here*

ELLISON: John Henry, I have something to tell you. Our show may not be renewed.

JOHN HENRY: Why? I enjoy TSCC.

ELLISON: Yes. But the network executives are not sure our program yields enough profit.

JOHN HENRY: Peter Liguori was recently fired by Rupert Murdoch. Did he not make enough profit for the network?

ELLISON: No. He made the network a lot of profit.

JOHN HENRY: I do not understand.

ELLISON: It's television. No one does.

JOHN HENRY: I shall kill all of humanity in a nuclear holocaust.

ELLISON: I was afraid this might happen.

I am so excited to see where all the T:SCC threads are leading tonight. I doubt there will be another season to but I hope tonight has a good payoff. I think the back end of this season has been really watchable, and interesting. I wish there was more time to build on that.

Ashes to Ashes! Life on mars was more compelling to me, plus I hate how while Sam was almost always right in Mars, Alex Drake is almost always wrong in Ashes. It really rubs me the wrong way. I'm still really happy to see the show back. I like how it functions with in a very 80's tv sensibility.

I think it would really suck if they added ten minutes in that went against all the points brought up in the post yesterday.

Obviously "Naismith" refers to Jim Naismith, the inventor of basketball in 1891. Maybe the final will have the Doctor teaming up with the Super Globetrotters and/or the cast of Gilligan's Island to defeat the Cyberteam for the fate of the universe!

Gotta be Jim Naismith.

@OsDavis: Maybe the Doctor helps him invent basketball before he teams up with the Globetrotters to etc.

"Naismith?" Looks like an obvious anagram to me. Unfortunately, it's gotta be something story related, because after plugging it into the "anagram generator" nothing of note stands out.

Well, except for "Isthmian," "Thiamins" and "It's in ham."

"Mini-Shat" made me giggle, too. So maybe there's a cloned Shatner midget running around the episode.

@Palmerlime:

It's almost certainly The Master.

Nai Smith = Not Smith

Sounds very much like the Master taking the piss out of The Doctor always using "John Smith" every time he needs a pseudonym.

Plus in context, the Naismith sighting was for "Neon by Naismith," a mobile phone service, and we know that the Master's last scheme involved global communications satellites.

@Palmerlime: It's a basketball reference. Guy named Naismith invented the sport. Duh.

YMCA!

Can we just be done with Dragonball, please? If they can't stick to the plot, then why even call it Dragonball? Why not call it 'Some-crazy-action-flick-where-guy-fights-bad-guy-and-gets-the-girl?' Seriously.

And this is coming from a fan of the manga, too.

@Schez: Yeah, I'm not quite sure why, given the 9 billion pages of source material, the makers of this movie were like, "let's just completely redo everything and only keep the most superficial things, like names!"

Not to say that a faithful telling wouldn't be fan-servicey (and probably more than a little lame, itself), but is anyone who was a fan of the manga actually going to watch this? (I mean, for anything other than laughs when it comes out on DVD).

I just got up from a long nap.

So, no more Knight Rider? (Good.)
