    I'll be watching, and, having learned my lesson from Children of Earth, I'll have a box of tissues in one hand and a bottle of hard liquor in the other.

    While this is good news, Children of Earth was 13 epsiodes worth of quality packed into a little over 6 episodes (since each was 1:15 long).

    I would much rather get less quantity and more quality than the other way around and that applies to all shows.

    @Dr Emilio Lizardo: I remember the days of the mini-series on (US) broadcast TV. Some great stuff came out of that format for a while. Then they got cheap and lazy and reality TV took over.

    Heroes is an excellent example of a show that could have been a great mini-series, maybe with one follow-up sequel, then close it up.

    I understand the economics of TV have changed - this is an "if I ruled the world" rumination.

    @Magicant: On the other hand, look at all the terrible sci-fi miniseries/events they do.
    Short dosnt automaticaly mean good. Some stuff takes awhile to get good (Buffy,Lost and Farscape for me).
    As for Heroes, I dont think quality is length based. Xmen has been going on long enough in the comics. Theres plenty of story-potential there.

    @Dr Emilio Lizardo: Absolutely - RTD tends to write much more effectively when he doesn't have the time to relax and pad out a story. Midnight is far and away superior to any of his two-parters.

    @Dr Emilio Lizardo: That was pretty much my reaction too -- I'd rather have five episodes as good as CoE than about 95% of the preceding two seasons.

    @crashedpc - Haifisch: This screams Jack Harkness worshipness.

    I approve of the idea to bring a little of Jack's sexiness to the forefront but this reminds me of romance novel cover material or a DVD promo cover...
