Fastest linker in the West, you are. And also right. I was conflating the eyebrows and the cheek swoop. She was mighty cool.
Everybody plays each other. That's all anybody ever does. We play parts.

If I only had a brain...
I loved SPACE:1999 so much. I wanted to be Maya.

Oooh, my brother had a huge toy Eagle, and a watergun shaped like the stun guns, and a Space: 1999 boardgame. The last of which, at least, is probably still in my mom's basement.
I don't actually remember much of the show, but we wouldn't have gotten lots of crappy merchandise for just any old thing.
Well, okay, we would have. And probably did. Shut up.

I used to own a model of the moonbase.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Did Space 1999 have an episode where a guy was marooned on the moon with an enemy alien, and they had to work together to get to safety, and then when they did, the other people were mean to the alien, even though the marooned guy told them not to?
Or was that an episode of UFO ?

All is well that ends in pizza.
Some children watch the new Doctor Who: The Christmas Invasion episode, and give great commentary (Obviously spoilers.)

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I have seen none of the new Doctor Who, but I did watch The Christmas Invasion episode. I did have a bit of cognitive dissonance, because I had recently seen the new Harry Potter movie, and it took me a while to not see the new Doctor as Barty Crouch, Jr.
My favorite bit was the death by satsuma. Brilliantly played.

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.
I was rather fond of the "Who am I?" speech. And "It's a fightin' hand!" The glasses thing was a bit odd, and makes me wonder what it's all about.
I whole-heartedly encourage you to see the previous season: Tennant and Eccleston are both fantastic as the Doctor, in various ways.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I whole-heartedly encourage you to see the previous season:
I'm hoping to, once I can figure out how to get my grubby hands on it. I've heard so much about Eccleston (and Capt. Jack!) that I really, really want to see it.
