Starz’s TV adaptation of Diana Gabaldon’s books is even better than I could have hoped…

Ooo ooo ooo: I get it finally! Miracle Day is a meta joke on fans! Torchwood cannot be killed, no matter how it is tormented and tortured.

Miracle Day might be awful, but as with lots of other awful television, people are watching it. So prepare yourself for more terrible TV produced as joint Starz-BBC projects…

No spoilers here, if you’re in the U.K. and you’ve been good and won’t see this episode till tonight, when it finally airs on BBC One. There are no spoilers because there’s pretty much no way to spoil this episode: it’s all setup… all the setup we’ve already heard about.

Was this a deliberate snub to the nation that gave Torchwood to Starz? It’s hard to see how it could be an accidental oversight…

FX overload is killing next season’s TV; Sammy Hagar comes out as alien infiltree and crazy person; Brad Pitt’s ‘World War Z’ probably dead; more: leftover links

Plus: You will not be able to avoid having Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding soundtrack downloaded into your brain…
