Oh, that reminds me, re the first (well, the first on Sci-Fi) season of Dr. Who, when does Captain Jack, who I keep hearing about, come into the show ?
Buffy: How was school today? Dawn: The usual. A big square building filled with boredom and despair.
Buffy: Just how I remember it.
'The Killer In Me'
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.

If I only had a brain...
Jess, apparently they labeled a Who tape reel with the acronym "Torchwood" so that nobody would steal it on the way to the post-processing house, then thought... 'Hmmm. What a cool name!'
Oh, and I am very pleased that they've cast the Asian doctor from "Aliens of London" on Torchwood, playing the same character.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Frank, episode 9, which is next week's.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Ooooh, now I want to know which post-house it was. And if I know them, and if they can be bribed to sneak me copies. (But not really because I'm a Good Employee Who Does Not Steal Things Even When It's Been The Kind Of Week Where I Feel I Deserve To.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Think how much fun it'd be to see Mansquito prosecuted....

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Sumi, I had exactly that thought.
That and, "Dude, we figured it out half an hour ago. Go throw yourself in front of the car. Don't ponder. Go."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I finally watched the latest Dr. Who, and I liked it much more than the first episode of the season. Yeah, Betsy's right in that there's no depth or development, but, come on! There's a werewolf! Whee! And Fiona, I love that shot of the Doctor and the wolf too.

DebetEsse, you didn't like it?
Because I totally cried the first time I saw it and teared up again this time too.
BTW, Bad Wolf reference ?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Sumi, I did. The way they did that last scene totally made up for the predictability. I didn't quite tear up, but I can see that one would. Oddly, The Doctor dying got me about as much as Rose's dad's speech (probably would have even more if I hadn't been yelling at Rose for taking the baby). Someone needs to fic the moment he came back into existence.
I also liked Nicky, Mickey, whatever his name is.
Oh! And! The TARDIS turning into a Police Box!
Also, at the crash site, graffiti on one of the smiley face posters. Is it strange that I know to look, but have no idea what it means?
eta: I have these vague thoughts that Susan (from the original series) could be Rose's daughter or granddaughter (with whatever paternity, I think The Doctor becoming "grandfather" is not out of the realm of reasonability), and the whole thing loops back on itself. But I think that's because, given the original canon, we've only got 2 more after the current UK Doctor (not that it's beyond their known capacity to change that), which would mean that it's got to be something like winding down (this also ties into the whole "Last of the Time Lords" thing). Mostly just an odd thought.
etaa: I thought it was odd that the timeline changed to include the change in Jackie's story. It makes my brain hurt, and may have helped spawn the above theory.
