We shall be watching The Christmas Invasion with breakfast.
And so we did.
Mondo cool and referential.
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

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.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Doctor v10.0 seems equal parts Arthur Dent, Luke Skywalker, and Ninth Doctor.

Very much so, Andi.
Especially with the dressing gown, the tea solution, and the reference below...
Christmas Invasion dialogue nugget:
" Very Arthur Dent. Now there was a nice man. "

Absolutely my favourite line too, DC.
I was pretty sure I was going to love David Tennant, and I do.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Unsurprisingly, my favourite line was "No second chances. I'm that sort of a man." I can love #10, but he's still no #9, and I'll be surprised if there's room in my heart for me to love two doctors the way I love Eccleston's.

S'ok, ita. Davidson's still MY Doctor, no matter how stunning Eccleston or Tennant may be.

To a degree, Baker's My Doctor, but not to the degree of nakedness and wanting to run around the continuum with him.
I think it's a puberty thing.

If I only had a brain...
Methos is the oldest immortal. I don't think they ever called him the first.
Was he even the oldest for sure? I mean, he's the oldest known one, but there may be somebody even sneakier and better at flying under the radar. Or, y'know, shipwrecked in the Marianas Trench and slowly walking home in between drownings.

He was the oldest according to Watcher files. I don't remember if he ever even took a position.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
One would think, given that he founded the Watchers, that if he weren't the oldest he would have found out about it. Have they had any aliens or demons or anything that predate the immortals?
