    "And the explanation of Charlotte's survival will blow your mind (and presumably has nothing to do with Juliet's hydrogen bomb.)"

    She's still time traveling. And it could technically be the same Charlotte but from before she died. That pretty much allows her to pop up anywhere.

    Yay for "Chuck"! Anyone else experiencing "Supernatural" withdrawals yet? Where do they get off taking a vacation, don't they know the Apocalypse is happening?

    Hey Charlie,

    2 episodes are being filmed in Croatia. "vampires in venice" and "the doctor and vincent." both working titles of course. those pictures are from the vampires in venice one. apparently we probably won't see much of the van gogh episode being shot.

    My god......This Doctor Who xmas special better pull somthing ALMIGHTY from out of its arse!! Every season with Tennant has been awesome, Torchwoods been brilliant, the Children of Earth mini series was inspired and the last 2 stand alone Who episodes were terrific.

    Tennant is and always will be the best Doctor that this long running series has ever had. Please dont let him go out on an anti-climax!!!!

    I want a 'mini Michael Bay' Doctor Who episode!!!!! Just masse's of explosions and fire.....but with a script!

    @CoffinDodger (If the typos crap. Blame my keyboard): I am pretty sure that's exactly what you'll get. RTD gets his Michael Bay on at the end of every season. I'm pretty sure the scripts kind of look like John Madden's scrawls on Monday Night Football.

    I don't think that's a good thing.

    @CoffinDodger (If the typos crap. Blame my keyboard): I can only hope that you totally forgot that Planet of the Dead existed, and are referring to The Next Doctor and The Waters of Mars as the last two stand alone episodes. Planet of the Dead was many things, but terrific it was not.

    @CoffinDodger (If the typos crap. Blame my keyboard): I'm with you on that. The flying bus spoiled it a bit, but other than that, I was very entertained. But then again, I can probably only point to three episodes of the new series that I DIDN'T enjoy so I'm probably a horrid critic.

    @Magicant: It would have made more sense to fly out in one of the Tritovores broken (but fixed later) type of escape pods!! We could have had a whole A-Team in the shed scene, building something from nothing! And then a serious escape/chase scene! But all in all, I liked it.

    I also love how RTD has dropped hints throughout all the old Tennants series about the coming storm. 'Bad Wolf', The Doctor Donna', 'He will knock 4 times' and the Doctors ego getting the better of him in 'Waters of Mars' leading to his inevitable end. Oh RTD, how we will miss you.

    changing chuck to a super spy cheapens the premise, i hope they keep the fun way the show works. if the fun zaney stuff goes then it wont be worth watching

    They really should have aired the next two episodes of FlashForward if the reveals are that big, holding them off until March is probably a bad idea.

    @GreyHammer: I thought that was already revealed.

    I gave it a second chance and still can't remember anyone's names - there's alcoholic FBI guy, alcoholic FBI guy's wife, retarded kid, retarded kid's dad who bangs alcoholic FBI guy's wife in the future, Harold of Harold & Kumar, Merriadoc Brandybuck, etc. so I'm done now. Maybe I'll read the book when I get a chance.

    @enderwiggin13: i have given the show more than enough tries. i have seen every episode so far, waiting for the interesting premise to pay off.... and it hasn't. characters are one demensional and even the physicists are stupid. the plot holes are also so large that im suprised the film stock its filmed on stays together.

    @GreyHammer: I will agree that the physicists are stupid but I still kinda like the show. It certainly isn't the worst thing I have seen on TV this year and I know at least three of the characters names. It seems to me that if there is a big reveal in the next two episodes then they should have shown at least one of them before the break. It was interesting to know that Benford's gonna kill his partner and I still think his wife is gonna slink into bed with Simcoe and cause him to start drinking again. Some people just can't be pleased not that big of a deal really.

    @Makidian: i feel the opposite. this show has been bad and compound that with the disapointment. i expected the show to be good based off teh interesting premise. it has not delivered, making it worse than something i had zero hope for. the 'twist' that benford was going to kill harold wasn't hard hitting or gasp worthy, i rolled my eyes. there is also the fact of the giant goatsee sized plot holes. one of which is the fact that harold's girlfriend didnt feel emotion in her flash forward when others did. does emotion only happen when its convient for plot? cause there is a huge difference in emotion between a wedding and a funeral. and the fact that a white rose on the coffin of a random service made her realise was absolutely cringe worthy retarded. and thats just ONE small instance in the miriad of instances where the show just isnt writen well at all.

    @GreyHammer: I just take it for what it is which is something to watch, nothing more really. It isn't the greatest show ever by any means but interests me enough to keep watching. I don't know who Harold is though so I am pretty sure you mean Noh who really does need to die since he just kinda mopes around. The twist will be that he is the one who told his wife he was drinking again in his FF. The writing is pretty bad and that is really David Goyers. fault because he pretty much blows. I don't look for it to be on for a second season but I would like to see this one play out. The cast could stand to be trimmed a bit also. I don't really disagree with your points but I don't think it's the most awful show ever.

    I'm assuming that the second picture is unfinished/uncolored/etc artwork, but I'd read something done in that style. It looks awesome.

    Am I alone in the feeling that RTD is going to reverse everything that has happened in the last 5 years. especially since Matt Smith's 2010 debute is being called Doctor Who 2010 series one, there is something bleeding through from Rose Tyler's earth, next series features more time lords, nd Tim Daylton's opening words in END OF TIME.
