Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I want, badly, to know WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED IN THE TIME WAR!!!

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.

Art Crawl!!!

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?

Mr. Scola’s wardrobe by Botany 500

At least two companions have died, Katarina, and Adric.

Thanks, Tom.

P-C, I would totally watch that !

Anne, someone mentioned noticig the same thing about the music upthread. I have to rewatch to see if I catch it.

One thing I love about the Tenth Doctor is his bubbly enthusiasm for the human race.

Yes! I loved the OK, I'm going to hug you now bit with the interim captain. So fun .

One thing I love about the Tenth Doctor is

Is he so different from the Ninth Doctor in that aspect? Nine shared that sentiment pretty highly, from what I recall. Perhaps not so ebulliently, though.

Anne, I really liked that moment too.

If I only had a brain...

The Ninth Doctor was not so much with the hugging. All the Doctors I am familiar with (which would be Three, Four, Nine, and Ten) mention how fond they are of humans now and again.

In unrelated news, F,C, M:

Jack Skellington, Captain Jack Sparrow, Captain Jack Harkness?
