    Something tells me AltWalt will be quite sane and quite scary.

    Also he'll hate to be called AltWalt. And he can probably read this somehow so I'd better stop tyf=y3ht0y8op;/////////////////////////////////

    As if Marvel actually cares about Fahir returning to the Iron Man sequel. They replaced an actor for a core character, they can easily replace a minor character, who's undoubtedly a henchman.

    Am I the only one exited about the Game of Thrones HBO series? I ask because I don't see much news for it outside of George R.R. Martin fan sites. Maybe it's outside the more sci-fi oriented scope of io9.com.

    Anyway, they finished up photography in Scotland and Morocco for the pilot yesterday, and everything I'm hearing makes it sound like it was a very positive shoot. That said, it could be as late as March (though it'll likely be sooner) before we hear whether or not HBO is ordering more episodes.

    *Fingers crossed*

    Three hours of "Chuck" in one week? Oh, momma! Bring it on!

    I'm trusting the writers to keep Chuck (the character) likable and relatable even though the Intersect has the potential to make him an action hero god.

    I know a lot of people are tired of Rose and don't like her. But I really liked her. She was inquisitive and up for any adventure and sort of a nobody, just a shop girl. I could really relate to that. If given the chance I would be right there dragging the Doctor through space and time to see every thing I could.
    I didn't like Donna because she just seemed to whine too much.

    SPOILER ALERT: Here's a recently updated list of who's supposed to be writing what during Season 5 of Doctor Who, along with a few highly spoilery episode titles.

    Keep in mind, these are working titles only, and based solely on information found in a couple of actor's CV's.

    @bluehinter: Oh, and for those keeping count, it looks like our TARDIS travel itinerary for next season is:

    Present day Earth, alien planet with time monks, WWI with daleks, alien planet with weeping angels, 1580 Venice with vampires, ??? (possibly TARDIS-centric story), post global warming future with Silurians, 1880's with Van Gogh, ???, ??? (but likely present day Earth)

    Looks like we're getting a pretty decent assortment next year, with lots of historical adventures and only a couple set during the present day.

    @Kishi: Yeah, I'm not 100% sure how the Cybermen rumors got started.

    It seems to be coming from a fellow with a hit and miss record when it comes to spoilers, but another individual (who generally knows far more than he's telling) said, "He's kind of right, but in some aspects WAY off."

    That's led to much speculation that it may be Mondas Cybermen, Cybermen controlled by something else, or perhaps humans who are trying to use cyber-technology for their own ends.

    @martin.blackmore: For a long time there were rumors that the second episode was one that took place entirely in the TARDIS, and concerned weird simian aliens that the Doctor had previously trapped, but broke loose during the TARDIS's "regeneration"

    This now appears to be false, or perhaps shifted to a later slot in the season.

    Waters of Mars was awesome, and it makes the wait for The End of Time even that much more unbearable. I am taking the stance of absolute hatred for the eleventh Doctor until I see the first episode because David Tennant is just so good. Hopefully his departure from Dr. Who will give him time to do other movies because the only one I recall seeing him in is Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
