TV News: Doctor Who Season 7, The Lightning Thief, and More

Alright. New Segment Time! This segment will be TV News, where I'll tell you what's happening on TV. This Post will have Three Parts, splitting into different news. This counts for only Saturday, September 1st, 2012.

Doctor Who Season 7!!!
The most anticipated thing for me besides Hunger Games this year, Doctor Who Season 7.
 
This season will kick off with an episode titled "Asylum of the Daleks",  which premieres tonigh (September 1st 2012) unless you're in Australia, which in that case September 8th (Sorry Aussies). The preview screening was actually on my birthday, August 14th. Heres a little information from the ol' Wikipedia:
""Asylum of the Daleks" is due to contain every single Dalek that has ever appeared in Doctor Who, including the Special Weapons Dalek from the 1988 story, Remembrance of the Daleks. Executive producer Steven Moffat announced in 2011 that he intended to give a "rest" to the Daleks, and "Asylum" marks their first full appearance since "The Big Bang" in series 5. It is also the first Dalek story Moffat has written for the show; he stated that he "couldn't resist" the opportunity. The reason for the rest was that Moffat felt their frequent appearances made them the "most reliably defeatable enemies in the universe". Moffat recalled that the Daleks were remembered for being scary, but due to their legacy as British icons they had become "cuddly" over the years and their true menace forgotten; with "Asylum" he intended to make them scary again, reminding the audience of their intentions. He thought the best way to do this would be to show Daleks that were considered even madder than usual. Gillan admitted that she had not been scared of the Daleks before working on the episode.
According to The Daily Telegraph, the production team located the remaining models of the various versions of the Daleks and shipped them to the studios in Cardiff Bay. This included a Dalek owned by Russell T Davies, Moffat's predecessor. Executive producer Caroline Skinner knew Davies well and asked to borrow his replica. She stated that he was "thrilled" that it was canonised. The total number of different Daleks was around 25, with models from 1963 to 2010; Skinner said that "there was just a real magic and sense of history about having them"."-Wikipedia
