::Sorry, guys: I would've thought the protection would've been initially set to end automatically at 11pm EDT on July 8. It was instead set to expire on July 29 for some bizarre reason. So, I just took off all edit protection manually. Sorry for the few hours' delay. Policy is that edit protection ends on each episode at 11pm EDT on the Friday that episode ends. As is clearly laid out in the first paragraph of [[tardis:spoiler policy]], the country of ''first'' publication is used to determine our protection settings. So, with K9 it's Australia (or was it Poland? Or Sweden? I forget now), DW it's (usually) the UK, and Torchwood it's now the US. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} | ::Sorry, guys: I would've thought the protection would've been initially set to end automatically at 11pm EDT on July 8.

(Also, "Anwen Williams" as featured? ''Really?'' I'm sure she'll pop up again in the rest of the series, but she's a baby.) --[[Special:Contributions/69.81.113.177|69.81.113.177]] 01:44, July 11, 2011 (UTC) | (Also, "Anwen Williams" as featured?

:Well, "featured" doesn't mean "Torchwood member". It just means "featured'. Pullman is on the list, I'd argue, because his name is in the title sequence. And I advanced the notion of Anwen Williams for this episode because the character ''is'' featured. She's in ''almost'' every scene with Gwen. I don't mind that someone's taken her out of the infobox, but my logic was that she had, I think, more screen time than Bill Pullman. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} | :Well, "featured" doesn't mean "Torchwood member".

I wouldn't call this an error, as it's not a hard and fast rule. For example the TV and radio station KYW is based in Philadelphia and doesn't follow the usual logic either. | I wouldn't call this an error, as it's not a hard and fast rule.

:It actually ''is'' a hard and fast rule. There's not a single TV station in KY that starts with K. See [[wikipedia:List of television stations in Kentucky]]. KYW is very much an exception, because that station is one of the oldest in the country, and predates and is outside of the K/W rule. (Three-letter call signs are ''all'' exceptions, because they're all four-letter now.) The few other exceptions — and we're talking a true ''few'' — all can ultimately be traced to an historical ''loophole'' in the rule. If you tried to start a new station today, you'd absolutely be bound by the W/K split. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} | :It actually ''is'' a hard and fast rule.

On quite a few forums there was speculation that Fox News host Bill O'Reilly was going to make a cameo in Miracle Day, based on one of the TV newscasters seen during the "Miracle Day, Miracle Day, Miracle Day" montage in the trailer looking and sounding like him (but his full face not being seen). In New World we do see the man's face in full, and it's clearly not him (plus we'd have heard earlier if he was making an appearance). Still, it's a legit myth so should probably be added.
