There was another short one about quarter past the second hour.
Also, I hadn't realized that this was going to be Zombies of the Corn.

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.

Who 2.8
That was scary-fun-cool. I would watch a show with just the guest cast, I think.
Thumbs up.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Also, I hadn't realized that this was going to be Zombies of the Corn.
My brain immediatly started filking this to "Rider's on the Storm"
Zombies of the Corn
Zombies of the Corn
It's not like you were born
Into this field you're thrown
Like flesh falling off of bone
A tractor feels like home
Zombies of the Corn
There's a zombie on the road
His brain is sharing with a toad....

Woe to the fucking wicked.
And Debet, one of my favorite moments in the series is the Doctor freaking the fuck out of the Daleks by telling them he has no idea what he's going to do, that is how pissed off he is.
LOVE all the themes at work in this season, and this moment was a confluence of several: Protecting Family, What You Do When There's Nothing Left, The Difference (and similarity. Who is the Big Bad Wolf, really?) Between The Doctor and, well, I guess, The Daleks counts as a theme by this point, and How Different the Doctor Is From What He Has Ever Been Before (he would have had a plan, which he would have largely executed on his own)
The contast between Rose/Rose's Mom/Mickey and Rose/The Doctor/Jack, and the different versions of protecting Rose. Rose's Mom takes a supremely passive view, while the Doctor's, while not always super-active, does have an active plan behind it. Okay, maybe not a plan, but, at least A Way.

Everyone died. Or something. Pretty much.
JenP, they should get their own SciFi Original Movie. Hee.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Except, apparently not.
More, it's that I want to know...exactly what it was he thought he had to do that caused the death of what he thought were all the Daleks, and, I assume, the Time Lords. What got them to that place?
And how is it that they're all dead, in all times, or whatever?

PC, I wholeheartedly agree with:
I realized that I didn't really have a clue where the episode was going, and I liked that.
A big weakness for me in Ep 2.7 was that as soon as Rose got sucked, it was obvious that the Wire would be defeated and everyone would be restored. This time around we've had one senseless death already and who knows how many others in the pipeline. And that's much better. I agree that this ep revived my enthusiasm for the series.
One thing I love about the Tenth Doctor is his bubbly enthusiasm for the human race. Also the way he has apologised to various victims.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
In 2.8, did the music in the scene where demon-writing!guy was outside and broke the window remind anyone else of Firefly?
One other thing I loved was the security guy reciting poetry. The fact there was no comment or attribution really sold the moment, I thought.

Oh, I have a question. Have we (by we, I mean the Doctor Who audience) ever seen a companion die in the course of the show?
