too scary for a 10 year old?
Definitely.
One or two episodes might be considered too scary period.
Zoe: Jayne. This is something the Captain has to do for himself. Mal: No! No, it's not!

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

If I only had a brain...
Doctor Who is out on DVD in Canada, which is Region 1, and can be ordered from amazon.ca. Spendy, though.

Dawn, I would expect certain episodes ("World War III" and "The Empty Child") to scare the hell out of any kid. We're talking "The Gentlemen" level of horror.
What I used to do back in the Buffy days (sob!) was pre-watch all episodes after the kids' bedtimes, and then rewatch with them if the episode passed muster. Doctor Who is good enough that the rewatch won't be a chore.

Definitely the "The Empty Child"/"The Doctor Dances" would be. I mean, I was well and thoroughly creeped out by those. Loved them as eps (probably my favorites), but... creeeepeeeee. And I would think especially for a kid since it's the kid in the show that's the creepiest .

Thanks you guys. The kid will be sad but he'll understand. He still can't watch Hush all the way though because the The Gentlemen scare him (he's good with the exploding heads though - go figure) I think I'll move the season pass to the Tivo in our bedroom just to be on the safe side.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
it cracks me up that so many people have creepy issues with spoilered for ep titlesThe Empty Child/The Doctor Dances. especially since it's you guys.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The cat's out of the bag now, but I did want to mention that when I first saw "The Empty Child," I had no idea it was the first of a two-parter. So the cliffhanger ending blindsided me; it was great.

Yeah, if I'm playing too fast and loose with titles and such, someone just yell.

Go ahead and whitefont that, JenP: I agree, it was fun getting blindsided by the cliffhanger ending.

Done. Except now P-C needs to put the cat back in the bag. Even though I let it out.
