The lesbian kiss? Eh. More pandering than edgy and controversial. When Firefly did it seven years back, that was edgy... and infinitely hotter.

Like the oft-toted "gay agenda" perhaps?

Anyway, I was really hoping that Claire's curiousity would manifest with a different girl other than Gretchen. Watching her on screen is like fingernails on a chalkboard. Glad she left Californication, not happy that it was to jump over to Heroes.

Hmmm... I wonder how long until they do a Manchurian Candidate episode?
Not necessarily using an active as a candidate, but having an influential senator who comes in once a month to "back up" his identity, but during the process, someone (Like Summer's character) is subtley adjusting his memories and personality, to turn him into an assassin or unwitting stooge for the Rossum corp.

As for the bullsh** lesbian stuff... it's just not that 'shocking' anymore... 10 years ago, MAYBE, NBC. Nice of you network people to have your finger on the pulse of society. Dorks.

Lesbians are so 1997.

Anything they do to change up the writing staff on that franchise has to be an improvement. Has to be.

@Belabras ate my dingo!: You know what the worst thing is about asking how something could be worse? Finding out.

Well played sir, well played.

And I bet Summer Glau plays a character who's brilliant and capable, but has a screw loose. That would be new for her.

Don't even ask me what hoops they will jump through to have a doll get into a fight with the IT person of the Dollhouse on the opposite coast from hers. Plus a fighting IT person? Really? Could you imagine Topher fighting?

It's a bit scary when the marketing team take over from the writers.

You must be confusing this with Twilight

Eagle-eyed Doctor Who fans have noted that Matt Smith appears to be wearing David Tennant's old pin-striped suit and trainers under that robe, which leads us to suspect that they're finally getting around to filming the season openner, and that like The Christmas Invasion, the new Doctor may not get his proper "costume" until the end of the episode.

Peter Davison's was the best. He was unraveling Tom Baker's scarf to leave a trail behind him, and as he started running out of clothes he found just a room full of cricket paraphanalia.

I wonder if they had to sew a "V" into the butt of the trousers like they did when Peter Davison regenerated into Colin Baker.

However, if you count by episodes (regardless of screen time) then Pertwee holds the record for longest period "out of costume," since he didn't steal his fashionable 3rd Doctor togs until partway through the second episode of Spearhead from Space.
09/30/09
I guess you could also count Sylvester McCoy as 4 episodes if you want, since he retained Colin Baker's umbrella up until the very end of Time and the Rani (not that there ever has been, or ever will be, an episode of Doctor Who entitled Time and the Rani. Any evidence to the contrary is just the product of a severely disturbed imagination)
09/30/09
True enough. I hope not, his actual costume is pretty cool, great throwback to Troughton.
Also, The Rani was a great idea for an antagonist it's just a shame they could never actually write her convincingly. I think I see what Moffat meant when he said that a lot of Classic Who is made up of good ideas that the wrong people got.

I dunno why people are still taken in by the rumours.

it's far worse than the raping zombies Jess Franco threw up on the screen in the 70's, and is the second worse movie i've ever seen (the same guys made another, far worse POS that's along the same lines).
i've been pawning my copy off on other reviewers over the years. my old review is nothing compared to my good pal Nathan Shumate's review on Cold Fusion Video.
