I'm going to have to watch that again. The quality of what I downloaded wasn't that great, especially on that episode, so I ended up watching it rather small.
Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Okay, I was actually able to see the promos today.
Umm, I'm pretty sure that the scene where Starbuck is aiming at somebody and then is prevented from shooting was already aired -- she's aiming at Boomer and Helo prevents her from shooting Boomer and says, "She's carrying my baby."

Is that in response to my wondering about who the guy at the end of Starbuck's gun is? There is definitely the scene with Helo preventing her from shooting Boomer, and then right after that, there's a scene outside where she has a gun trained on someone and then whips her head around and points the gun in her other hand toward someone else, all the while keeping the first gun trained on the... I think what is a new guy, who also seems to be holding a gun. Doesn't look like Helo or one of the Cylons we've seen so far.
Dr. Who ep 11: Jack made the "W" for WHAT.ever. sign with his hands? Too funny. Fortunately, he didn't remind me even once of Tom Cruise this week. I continue to adore CE.
I have a general Dr. Who history (of the show, not of time) question - what happened to the various companions once the Dr., er, changed? Did they go back to their own time? End badly? Go elsewhere? Some combination of these?

The companions tended to stick with the Doctor for at least a bit after regeneration, but the position had a lot of turnover. One of them, Tegan, lasted all the way from the end of the Fourth Doctor's run to just before the beginning of the Sixth's.

I liked Tegan. She was sort of the angry voice of viewer incredulity years before there was a Television Without Pity.

Oh, interesting. I don't know why I assumed the companion would change with each regeneration - I guess I figured there were longer time lags between new Doctors than there necessarily were.
I should go find a Dr. Who site or two. I feel the need to know more.

Here's an irreverent brief guide to the series.

Heh, that's a fun site. I can now say definitively that I've only seen eps with the Dr. portrayed by Tom Baker (mostly these) and Peter Davidson (a few of these). The only reason I couldn't say this before is that I had no idea which names to attach to the two faces.
Well, aside from the current, of course. Which, have I mentioned, I love CE? I have? Well, OK, then.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Pity they haven't updated that site to include the new Who.
