But we already knew there were incarnations that don't call themselves The Doctor. Specifically, The Valeyard. I was expecting that to be what they introduced John Hurt as, especially since it was brought up earlier in the episode. John Hurt's character may yet be the Valeyard - though I personally doubt it (I favor the missing regen theory, and believe that's actually what we'll see come November).

Don't worry Sparrowhawk, Spellbound will be done. It will. We've had our fair share of setbacks - I just suffered a relatively small one last night, in fact - but we rebound and we press forward. It'll get done, and it's now a very high priority indeed. There's nothing anyone can do to help for now - save giving me the time and space I need to wrap it up. Soon I'll ask for some interaction, or at least some attention, as I start showing off bits and pieces of the book, but for now... I simply ask for you to hang tight. We're close, or at least much closer than we ever have been before. Welcome to the boards BTW! If Spellbound is what it took to bring you to our little collective, then at least it's responsible for one good thing (so far).  |

I just posted that  Indeed you did. I've been unplugged most of the week and near-completely unable to keep track of anything outside the summit. I think I shall stop trying actually, as I believe I may have just managed to overwrite an important work document - something I haven't done in years. Perhaps it's time for sleep, and ignoring the world for a while. A fresh start will be required before I even attempt to rebuild this file.  |

I really dug the flick. My biggest gripe is that they missed a prime opportunity for bookending gold in the death sequence. As it stands, the last person to speak is Spock, who says, roughly, "Because I'm your friend."
Given the earlier back-and-forth with Khan, Kirk really should have capped it off with, "Because we're family."
Literally every other beat could stay and that one change would have elevated the scene from merely great to truly legendary.
So it goes...

See, that's a distinct (and envious) advantage you have when it comes to being able to form an opinion on the thing that most of us don't have, which is why rolling out a generic grey-saturated clip doesn't do the concept justice. Even SC's clip managed to hit the high-concept of that series, so I'm disappointed that there's not even a suggestion of the original TP's TIM or the alien beacon of the remake.
No argument. I'm generally disappointed by this year's upfront footage. In most cases I've found it wanting, and in the CW's case especially so. Still happy about TTP being greenlit, and hoping it lives up to the promise. Glad to share and pimp to help it on its way if I can. I prefer to stay positive and hope for the best. Fond memories of those predacessor series and my general love of Brit telefantasy really wants to see the series succeed.
Absolutely! TTP was a major inspiration for Series Archer, and that will be even more true when I get the setting back on its feet (just talked about how that will work at the summit yesterday BTW, for those of you wondering), and so yes, I have a truly vested interest in this show living a good and long life. |

I'm extremely happy (and frankly, shocked) to see The Tomorrow People back on the airwaves, so even a tiny bit of generic footage is welcome. I've read half the pilot script so far and it seems like a decent launch. It'll be interesting to see what they do with it in the last half, but I doubt I'll have time to dig into that until i get back from the summit.
