Yep, I think it is. As cut-throat as the bean-counters have gotten, there's been too much hype building towards the finale of the story for them not to do the final season.

I was going to watch it, but I've decided to read the books first - as I've read a book by David Peace and it was amazing.

i'm reading "the damned united" about brian clough- very good. film coming out soon with michael sheen as old big 'ead

That's the book I've read, Barno - it's as intense as reading American Psycho.

Discussion of Red Riding has been moved here.

Current TV joy: Better Off Ted.

Why? Cheerful satire of corporate America, and that's a thing of joy. It's must-watch.

I heard there might be something mildly enjoyable on TV tonight...

I can't believe you weren't aware that tonight was the screening of the pilot episode of "Lady Christina And The Flying Bus."

Hope it goes to series.

Along with 'Sally Sparrow and the Magic DVD Player', 'Jenny and the Fabulous Space-Rocket' and 'Captain Jack and the Welsh Nymphomaniacs' - oh, wait...

Actually, that did go to series.

Magic DVD Player? Sounds like a Disc Ex Machina...

But Jenny can hop on board the magic bus if she likes.

You must have been up on the roof, brooding.

Try having them in an orchard.

Nah. Wasps are a terrible passion-killer, and in Torchwood we prefer triangles to pears.

Somewhere Jack remarks: What? No quadrilaterals?

I've just finished watching tonight's CSI episode. It's a very clever deconstruction on Star Trek mythology, focused on a Sci-Fi Convention called "WhatIf-Icon". From the pre-credit sequence that ended with the line "he's dead, Jim", to the reconstructions of scenes from the classic series, this episode frequently had me laughing out loud.

And then I thought about the alternative... what if a Doctor Who version of this murder story based on obsessed fans irked over mythology of the series being 'taken over' happened. Hmm.

Well, I'll ponder that further when CSI: Cardiff becomes a show. In the meantime, I highly recommend tonight's episode of CSI. You should see if you can find it on Hulu or at CBS.com- it's well worth the viewing.

Is that Sulu's younger brother?

Rather than CSI, you could probably do a fun New Tricks episode that centred around missing episodes of an old Sci-Fi series...Professor X, maybe?

Guest starring Richard Griffiths ?

Never seen New Tricks, but CBS.com has uploaded last night's CSI episode. It's called "A Space Oddity."

You know what Hulu is, C=O.


It's a type of dancing done in a grass skirt.

or it's this lot: Hulu, where I does most, if not all, of me TV watching.

Well it's obviously the dancing Dave!
