Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

'Just Rewards (2)'


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.

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.

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 .

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

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?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

F Harkness, C Sparrow, M Skellington. (And handwave the whole skeleton-anatomy thing.)

You should have Captain Jack Aubrey in there for the Capt Jack hat trick.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm having trouble getting past that whole skeleton-anatomy thing, m'self, but personality wise it would have to be

F Harkness, C Sparrow, M Skellington.

for me, too. Much as I adore Captain Jack, I have trouble imagining him marrying. And Sparrow's a lovely, lovely character, but he'd need a week or two in a bath (and probably on antibiotics) before I'd want to touch him.

Yes, I think that's canon; it explains why he spends so much time amongst them. I just like the forms the enthusiasm takes with Doctor 10, like the hugging thing. (Actually even funnier if you've seen "Casanova", where the actor played David T's right-hand man).
