Hah!
Betsy funny.
I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

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.

New season two Dr. Who - I just can't warm up to Mickey, tied shirtless to a chair or no. And Rose's mum is one of the most irritating characters EVER. Why do they feel the need to put her in every few episodes? Wouldn't it be better to cause some angst by killing her off?

If I only had a brain...
This whole episode seems like a retread of Father's Day, only stupider. Did Rose *and* the Doctor learn NOTHING?!?!?! Also, the Doctor's grief over the TARDIS' death was weirdly ignored.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
This whole episode seems like a retread of Father's Day
With a nice helping of a retread of Genesis of the Daleks. The villain was totally a Davros clone.

Steering clear of the Doctor Who S2 whitefont, I have to jump onto the Capt. Jack bandwagon. Loved his memory of the two executioners he ended up in bed with, especially the fond way he said, "And they stayed in touch!"
Being so used to American television's distaste of the subject, I wasn't too sure how they were going to handle his bisexuality, but I thought that the Doctor's line about how Jack can definitely cut in, but the question was with whom, was great.
"Everybody lives, Rose! Just this once, everybody lives!!" ::happy sigh::

"Everybody lives, Rose! Just this once, everybody lives!!" ::happy sigh::
I just wanted to give him a huge hug at that point.

If I only had a brain...
And the look of radiant joy on Eccleston's face... ::sigh::
Not to mention Jack's delivering the classic line "It's bigger on the inside!" and the Doctor replying grimly, "You'd better be."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
"Everybody lives, Rose! Just this once, everybody lives!!" ::happy sigh::
That is quite possibly my favorite moment in the series. I think it brought tears to my eyes.

Right there with you, P-C.
And for comedy - good god, the sonic screwdriver discussion.
That ep was just gold all around.

So, Matt, were you disappointed that you were TOTALLY RIGHT?
I loved the nanogenes resolution because it made so much fucking sense, and it came from a throwaway bit of sci-fi dressing that you wouldn't think would be relevant to the main plot.
