I just Netflixed the Jon Pertwee "Carnival of the Animals", and it was wonderful as a standalone. We have all of the Key to Time eps because the whole family is sick; I find Tom Baker palls pretty quickly. He's a bit self-consciously quirky.
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.
You know, if you'd told me just two years ago that I'd be watching and enjoying both Battlestar Galactica and Dr. Who, I'd have looked at you very funnily indeed!
Thanks for the recap Kathy. I'm um acquiring Doctor Who One seasons 1-4 now to take a look for historical purposes.
I also love that the new Whoverse is multicultural.
ITA. I also liked Mickey's reaction to the conspiracy theorist's nice middle-class neighborhood, and the looks that he as a young black man was getting from the residents--it explained to me why he didn't start yelling for help when he got eaten by the garbage bin.

Here's Luck has a new DueSouth vid out. It's really lovely. Get it here: [link]
Rose is the first human female companion that I have seen who did not scream more than I would.
I'm pretty certain I'd scream more than Leela did. Didn't it take some alien beastie biting her in the head to finally make her cry out?
It's so nice to see a person-sized woman on tv, who isn't a joke.

I love Rose and her mother and realize if they were casting those roles over here they would have been stick figures.
Also, for those who have seen the full run is the reference in "Rose" the graffitto of a barking dog in the alley behind restaurant where Rose first enters the TARDIS ? Because I re-watched my disk and couldn't see or hear any more apparant reference. I heard the blah-blah "big giant spoiler scenario" comment in the second episode.
nope, sumi. that's not it.
