    Let the whining about Fox sucks begin! As if these shows were on some other network and Fox somehow managed to kill them. They keep giving America a chance to like science fiction good and bad, and America keeps saying "No." Stop blaming the messenger, fanboys.

    Poor Mark Valley. I wonder if this will be canceled after 6 episodes on Fox like his last one at the network.

    @Pessimippopotamus: "Poor Mark Valley" is doing pretty well for himself. I remember when all he did was soap work.

    Good on him, I hope this one is a success.

    This show has two strikes against it in my book:
    1) A completely uninteresting premise, and
    2) it's a semi scifi show airing on the Fox network.

    At this point, I have a completely contrarian attitude towards Fox network, and have no high expectations for any new show they put out. Burying their best shows on Friday night, or placing them in hotly contested time slots, while garbage shows like Human Target get prime placement, is just ridiculous.

    I read about this show but it did not interest me much.
    I am also wondering if I want to go near another FOX Scifi as it will probably be cancelled in a cliffhanger.they are good at screwing over the scifi community.

    I just wish they'd pick a time and stick with it for crying out loud! It premiers on a Sunday then continues on Wednesday of the same week which is it's regular timeslot...at least until next week when they'll probably shuffle it around again. Argh!

    Maybe they should make it a variation of the "Deadliest Game" instead of a comic book series.

    The American Idol wannabe who got kicked off that week on American Idol becomes the "Human Target".

    All right, I wanna start the official over/under for how many Heroes episodes are left.

    I set the initial line at 10 more eps.

    @I_Like_TDs: Are we talking "in the can", or "actually-airing-before-Leno"?

    I'd agree with 10 in the can, maybe 4 max actually airing before it vanishes forever during November sweeps, replaced by some reality or game show...

    Maybe they'll burn the remainder off at midnight on Saturdays, like Fox is doing with "Sit Down, Shut Up"

    @Chuck Lawson: Oooh, interesting. Ok, there has to be 2 lines: 1 for how many air before the word comes down and how many they have completed for airing.

    Will air: 10
    Overall total: 14

    @I_Like_TDs: I like 13 - 14 for overall total, since that's about right for a first-part of season order...

    I don't think aired will be anywhere near that high, unless they dump them in a schedule hole months away (maybe summer?).

    Kind of a shame; so far this season has annoyed me a lot less than last season (although that's not saying much).

    The perfect saving grace would be if the carnival turned out to be the one from Carnivale, and this turned into the third season of that :-)

    Additionally, I haven't seen it covered here, but Blue Peter is holding a competition to design a TARDIS console that will be featured in an episode of the new series.

    The controls need to be made out of common household objects and "look like the Doctor put it together himself," so presumably it will be used for a scene where the Doctor makes temporary repairs to the console using bits and pieces he's nicked from Amy's house, before activating the self-repair circuitry and switching to a more conventional design.

    Actually, if you look closely at the photos, that is the old TARDIS.

    The new one is the bright blue Harnell version we previously saw on the beach with River Song.

    Obviously, the original isn't completely destroyed at the end of the final Tennant special, but it is in very bad shape.
