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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I didn't quite get why Rose would get all wigged about the Earth finishing its life cycle in its appointed time. But then maybe she hadn't quite grokked that bit of science before.

I think it's one thing to know that your planet and species will die out someday, and quite another to see it. I think it would be a pretty upsetting experience.

Plus that "last human being" -- yuck.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

We watched last night. Dr Who is a different show - I can't quite take it as seriously as other stuff I watch. But it was fun. I have more thoughts, but they don't seem super coherent. I think I need to see more shows.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

2nd half of season 2 DVDs out in September?

That would make sense, at it's right before they start showing the new shows. (They've done that twice now, right?)

If I only had a brain...

The second one is Rose doing her culture-shock freakout, and it's actually pretty mild considering the dislocation she's going through.

There's a very positive Doctor Who view-and-post over at Geek Philosophy.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I think the series really kicks off with The Unquiet Child eps. Those were seriously impressive.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The Unquiet Child

Man, those creeped me out. If I see the visual (the spoiled know the one) or hear that phrase (ditto) it gives me quite the shiver.
