My father's sci-fi tastes are generally pretty old school. And he compares everything recent to B5.
Also, he had a major attack of kids on the lawn with the new Doctor Who.
It makes me doubt his taste, but it's kind of cute.
They're doing it backwards; walking up the down slide.

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.

I'm guessing the "Captain Jack and the Doctor just made out!" angle wouldn't be nearly the drawing card for him that it is for most of the Dr. Who fandom I'm in contact with.

Nah. Sadly, he's more into plot than character, so the Doctor and anyone making out fails to be up his alley.

If I only had a brain...
Okay, I give up. I need to ahem a ninth-season Doctor. Which software does one use to ahem nowadays?

Oooh. Welcome to the world of BitTorrent, in which you can waste countless hours of your time watching all kinds of TV you weren't planning to watch and also yelling at your computer to download faster, damnit.
I use Azureus and have been very happy with it overall. I did hear some noise about the recent updates messing with the functionality of the software, the details of which I'm unfamiliar with since I always say "no" to the update prompts.
The actual torrents can then be obtained from mininova, TorrentSpy or Isohunt.
ETA: hmmm, if it's only the new Doctor Who you want, Consuela snurched all the episodes from my hard drive from when I was visiting her earlier this year. She'll probably be happy to make you copies. (I've still got them on my hard drive, so if she doesn't have them any more, I can put'em on a DVD-R and send them along to you as well.) Unless you wanted to venture into torrenting for other stuff as well, in which case, never mind.

Question 2: Canonically, can Immortals reproduce, and if so, are the offspring Immortal? (Highlander)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Canonically, can Immortals reproduce
Nope.

Yup, mine got thoroughly rogered so I had to switch to BitTornado.

Really? That's too bad. I'd have thought they would attempt to fix the glitch. I'd used BitTornado way back, and found the interface not as user-friendly as Azureus.

It's not, really, but I'm used to it now. I still have no idea what was wrong woth it in the first place. I updated it and it just stopped connecting to any of the trackers. I tried fiddling with ports and things and asked a friend who actually understands computers what was going on, but by that point I'd given up and just downloaded BitTornado.
