I'm looking forward to seeing Victor's back story, we got a very brief flash of him in army fatigues last season so he probably has PTSD and tons of other issues. It would actually be interesting if he and Sierra also started having memory 'echoes.' The thing about the process they use is that they don't really wipe the memories. They *partition them off,* which is how Sierra was still having flashbacks to her abuse moments even after they tried to "erase" them. The memories are their in the brain cells, she just isn't supposed to be able to access them. They are basically writing info to people's brains like write-once CDRs in multisession mode. I suspect the reason they have a 5 year limit on Actives is that their brains would actually be "full" at that point.

It'll be good to see Romo on Supernatural. I would have cast him as the Devil or God, though, I think.

I reaaaaallly want to like FlashForward but it's feeling like FlashCircle now. And I don't mind one main character keeping secrets about their future (like drinking again) but jeeze I'm getting more pissed that half the people do this.. UGH

SInce Eggs is dead it must be Tara, please let it be Tara. And this past ep of Dollhouse was much better especially Viktor after their imprints got swiped, that shit was hilarious.

Please please please let it be Tara, but only after a good slap across the face from Lafayette first.

If you watch Caprica, prepare to be completely flabbergasted and irate at how they butcher the Cylon origin story.

I don't think Caprica is long for this world. I'm gonna try not to get too attached to Papa Adama and Greystone, even though they are the only watchable parts of the pilot.

The original show is fucking terrible. There. i said it.

@I_Like_TDs: I could say the same thing about the "reboot" universe. Remember "Man created the Cylons" in Season 1? Then we got the Final Five, the "fundamentally different" Cylons?

Face it, Moore and Eick made mincemeat out of their own "reboot" long before Caprica.

Think Lester Freamon joined Doctor Who to see if he could get the Master's tissue compression eliminator for his dollhouse furniture?

"Same shit detail, workin' out of the same shithouse TARDIS. You lack personal growth, you know that?"

"To hell w/ Jaime & Sarah Jane & Romana & Rose. You my real partner, Lester. My life partner." "Don't tease, bitch."

"Follow drugs, you get drug addicts. Start to follow the Doctor & you don't know where the fuck it's gonna take you."

@GayRobotsRUS: I really can decide which has me more stoked, Crowley or Mark Sheppard. Mark Sheppard was made to play a demon. I can see him as the perfect compliment to Cas. Hope he gets to stick around for more then one episode.

I'm really looking forward to getting some backstory on Victor. His ability to completely own the personality imprinted on him is one of the best things about the show right now.

"more action oriented and commerical???"

WTF? The first film worked exactly because it WASN'T either of those two.

@Allen_Richards: I just scrolled down to post that exact thing. Agree with you 100%. In fact, I think that's why Quarantine didn't work...ok so it wasn't THAT action oriented, but it was definitely commercial.

@enderwiggin13: I had the same discussion on a friend's horror site. While REC and Q are the same movie, and I actually saw Q first, REC makes better use of the found footage approach in that the actors are unknown to us (granted, in Spain the host was a popular tv host, but that's unknown to most Americans). With Q, it was too hard to buy into the approach with that amazing sound mix and a cast of kids from DEXTER, HOSTLE, and DOOM GENERATION. When I hear "commercial," I instantly think "familiar faces" and sincerely hope this isn't the approach they take.

Is there a plan for Evan Rachel Wood to learn how to act before next season?

As for Surrogates, I'm not liking this whole "anti-ghost-in-the-shell" vibe I'm getting off of it. Instead of blurring the lines between the real world, the digital world, and the phenomenon of sensory perception in interesting and thought provoking ways, it's just turning into a ridiculous technophobia "thriller." Cuz it's not like that hasn't been done before or anything. Yeesh... Hollywood saddens me.

See, if the religious nuts were smart, they'd point to Megan & Amanda's kiss on film as proof of there being some benevolent, all knowing super-being answering our prayers.

They might, if they weren't too busy being mind-raped by Megan's colossal ego.
