I seem to remember a quote where the producers were talking about "magic pockets" FWIW.
I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I think I've heard "where Duncan keeps his sword" fanwanked as "katana space".
I've heard it called "sword space", but yeah. I think most fans just accept it as another of the ill-defined Immortal powers. (Such as Duncan killing assorted Immortals with wierd little "magical" abilities, but never exhibiting them himself later. Meanwhile in the "Final Dimension" movie the bad guy gains the powers of an Immortal sorcerer by killing him.)
The Mage RPG from White Wolf had a rote (spell) called "Spatial Sheathe" that did the same thing, undoubtably inspired by the show.
ETA: Of course, in another book they had an infamous rant about the illogic of carrying swords in the modern world. They weren't known for their internal consistancy.

If I only had a brain...
My son wants to know why the sword of Lucas, the dead civil war guy, crackled with lightning on his grave. My son thought he was maybe partly beheaded and was coming back. I said, "Naah, just dramatic special effects."

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
I've always thought that if I were an Immortal I'd be all over firearms. I mean, what is this swordfighting crap? Come on.

Really. Shoot 'em from a distance, then behead the corpse.

David Tennant as Bobby. Billie Piper as Eames, only with more input. "I know what it's like -- being on Earth, surrounded by all the tasty humans, feeling the urge to go on a ravenous killing spree -- the urge gets stronger. They look so delicious, no one would notice if you took just one, right? Sure. Just one... and then another... and soon you can't control yourself."
Or maybe Eccleston as Bobby, Tennant as Logan...

All is well that ends in pizza.

There are rules. Some havve broken them, but for the most part, the Immies don't go there. One still has to cut off the head, in the end.

Emily, thank you. I was wondering if someone would pick up on that. It amused me to type it like that.

Has anyone seen a firm price on the 2005 Dr Who boxed set? Amazon still has a placeholder entry only.
