I thought the point of Long Form/Short Form was so TV shows wouldn't 
have to compete against feature films? Sure, "Heroes" meets the 
technical specification for Long Form, but wouldn't it make more 
sense to pick the best episode for Short Form?

Is this the first time an amateur film distributed exclusively 
online has been nominated?

I forget -- is this the episode where an alien menace is killing 
people, and then someone on the Torchwood staff goes off to have 
wild, promiscuous ***, or is it the episode where an alien menace is 
killing people, and then someone on the Torchwood staff goes off to 
have wild, promiscuous ***?
