    So will there be a next season of Supernatural now because Pestilence showing up close to the end seems odd to me.

    A trio of new Doctor Who set pics up on SFX

    They're currently filming in Croatia, which is doubling as 16th Century Venice for the upcoming "Vampires of Venice" episode.

    I can't wait to see the new motion capture tech of Avatar implemented in more films. I truly have the feeling that Avatar will be more of a 2 hour SFX demo reel than a film you watch for a plot because, at this point, the Na'vi characters are what REALLY impresses me about Avatar. I can't get enough of watching the side-by-side comparisons. The idea that what-you-see-is-what-you-get in reference to having actors to portray computer generated characters blows my mind as an aspiring filmmaker myself. I'm imagining a Thundercats film (or any film that needs computer generated characters really) with characters that have that level of sheer detailed realism to them. The facial expressions, the realistic body movements that you would NEVER get with usual computer animation...this means actors can do their thing and do it WELL without everyone worrying about making it look real in post because, being filmed real, it IS real. That's the best thing ever.

    @firstanointed: I think, after all's said and done, Avatar will be generally well-received but it will be the filmmakers that really will sense it as the true movie-making change that's its been hyped as, and not the mass audience.

    @icy_one: Yeah, I hate it when they do that. Too many coincidences or unnecessary interrelationships (like, oh, say, a young Vader just happening to build C3PO). Makes it all less believable and more soap-opery.

    @TemporalSword: I agree, not many people seem to get an original story and stick to it, they feel they have to over complicate existing characters, introduce unnecessary characters and expand the story formulaically.

    Maybe its when the producers and studios get involved, who knows!

    In reply to On Supernatural, We Take Family Snapshots Before the Apocalypse
    File this under fridge logic, but I think Castiel is God, and doesn't know it; he's basically a sleeper agent. Think about it: Castiel gets killed, God intervenes and teleports the Winchesters and purges Sam completely of his demon blood addiction. Then Cas reappears with no conscious knowledge of what just happened other than he died and now he's not-died, he wants to find God, but there's no trace of him. He has this weird random idea that dean's necklace is a God-detecting talisman... it's like some kind of red herring programmed into his (fake?) persona so that he wouldn't actually start looking inside himself. It also makes an awesome metaphor for the search for inner divinity.

    Then again, I'd be ok with a guest appearance by Number 6. : )

    heroes sucks and is now full of a million plot holes.

    the 2 biggest being:

    1. Hiro can just teleport to a moment before Sam's old man teleporter took him back to get charlie and hiro can rescue her himself. Sam would be lost bc he said his teleporter died--ergo no more going back. Hiro is safe and so is charlie.

    2. Sylar stole calire's healing ability. How can he be missing a fucking eye? Claire froze, snapped off her foot, then regrew it back. This show is bullshit.

    I know how sad we all are that Tennant will be no longer with us, but I'm a little confused about the big deal that the death of the Doctor plays in the Doctor's mind. Am I missing something from the can0n where regeneration makes you a different person entirely, not just the exact same consciousness in a different body?

    Mebbe someone could point me towards the wiki item that would explain why those in the universe of the Doctor would find the death so horrible when it simply is just an admitted re-start in a better car?

    @Lassus: As I see it, a lot of the portents point not to the Doctor regenerating, but outright dying.
    "Your Song is ending." As in you
    "the Doctor" are done for, not just this incarnation, but you as a whole. From that view point, its definatly dire news to be feared.

    @ShadRS: Sadly, that point has never been made clear. I believe it's implied, but it's never made distinct whether the Doctor is afraid for his life, or that he'd grown particularly attached to this body and feels he has so much more to do before trading it in.

    Admittedly, he'll be on his 11th of 13 bodies, and with no Timelords around, the chances of him getting a new regeneration cycle are extremely slim. He's been blowing through them pretty quickly of late, and barely pushing 1000, while most Timelords his age are only on their 3rd or 4th (assuming the 1st Doctor regenerated of natural causes). That's the equivalent of one of us being told we're going to die at 30.

    @bluehinter: Well, now THIS makes sense. I had a vague idea regarding a limit to the regenerations (Although, the cycle can be renewed? Heh. I can't wait for THAT episode.) but I didn't really remember it exactly. This was really all I needed. One less life is one less life.

    @modernboy: There is some speculation (based on the length of the script, as well as the shooting of additional material originally cut for time) that the first episode may now be 60 minutes rather than the usual 45.

    I certainly hope this is the case, since Tennant got 60 minutes for his first story, and they've got twice as much set up and explaining to do with Smith. (plus it leaves more time to balance post-regeneration wackiness with an actual plot)
