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.

If I only had a brain...
SciFi is cutting out some important character moments; in particular, in "The Unquiet Dead", they cut out the Doctor being startled by Rose in the red dress and blurting out "You look beautiful!" or words to that effect.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Brrrrr—"The Empty Child" was tres creepy. I'm sort of sad that this show is so relentlessly [pseudo]science-based, as I'm sure they're going to explain it as runaway nanites that imprinted on the first person they encountered or somesuch. It'd be better if there was room for the supernatural/unknown and the nature of the contagion was never explained at all.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Not telling
With Doctor Who, it's more about the story than the science. It was orignally meant to be a children's show, but they do write for adults as well. Even moreso wth the current seasons.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
If by "children's show", you mean "show that scares the pants off children while making them life-long fans of the show"...

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
It's not proper Doctor Who if the the single digit age crowd ain't hiding behind the sofa.

Our wings are not tired.
My Bobby (11) loved last night's show. He does love the scary though.
I've been enjoying the early years but I didn't get a children's show vibe at all. The balance of scary, goofy, and wierd science seems about the same ratio as the newer stuff. It's a mix I enjoy.

The british are wacky. They've classified it as a children's show since day one, and still do.
ETA; It's the mix that has made it worth watching for generations of adults around the world.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Gud: I spoke with Kathy A today. She doesn't have internet at home and she wanted me to let you know that her cable got hooked up early. She thanks you for the offer of the Dr. Who DVD, but she'll catch in on the teevee.
