I think Russell T. Davies has expressed an admiration for BtVS, and aspires to Buffy storytelling.
It's others that compare.
Angel: Lorne, you're— Lorne: Reliable as a cheap fortune cookie? Angel: I was gonna say a guy with good contacts…

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.

If I only had a brain...
Yup. RTD is a Joss fanboy.

Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'

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.
Picard + techno + Sims = Greatest thing ever.Yeah, but watching the dancing Worf has made me gay.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The Sci Fi Eureka site is up. There's wallpaper. There are AIM icons. This is way funnier than Coupling.

Doctor Who S 2 ep 10 (10? Already?!): Lovely episode. The blond bloke from Hustle stole the show, with excellent support from Moaning Myrtle. It made me laugh and then it made me cry.
Oh, and there were definite echoes of the X-files theme on the soundtrack this week, makes me think the music quotes must be deliberate.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Hmm, that Eureka, doesn't look too bad. With Joe Morton and Matt Frewer, it's got to be worth watching at least occasionally.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Fiona, I agree. I was surprised by how poignant I found Ursula's absorption, in the midst of all the silliness. I really liked the episode, overall.

Episode 2x10 of Dr. Who:
I ahemmed the Dr. Who Confidential for this week, and the monster was inspired by a contest entry, created by a little kid.
Then they wrote the episode around it.

Then they wrote the episode around it.
Yeah, that was pretty cool. The kid was great too.
I watched the Confidential last night as well, and it turns out that Murray Gold, who revised the theme tune and does all the incidental music for the series, actually is the same Murray Gold that I went to university with. Huh. (I might have made the connection sooner, but I didn't think he read Music). So that puts me at 2 degrees from RTD. Cool.
