Who 2/12: Fantastic! Not one but two great surprises which the BBC actually managed not to spoil (more or less). It seems they're learning .

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.

Ooh, okay, well, Dr. Who finale. Well I'm looking forward to the second part, I can tell you that. It's a pity we had to wait pretty much thE whole series for an episode like that. DALEKS!!!!!!! Unexpected Daleks! Eeeee! Even the bf who generally leaves the room when I watch rather enjoyed it.

If I only had a brain...
SET HSQ TO KILL!!
eee eee eee ::dances around in circles about current downloaded Doctor Who::
The BBC spoiled that Billie Tyler was leaving -- it was on the covers of U.K. magazines and officially announced by the Beeb. I've been spoiled (and cranky about it) for weeks.

It is so freaky to watch Jason X in this day and age and watch Tony Todd, Chuck the Gate Technician from SGA, and the Sorbo-less cast of Andromeda fighting to escape with their lives.
Man, so much hatred would have been saved by casting Chuck Campbell as Harper.

Oh, wait. The gate tech on Atlantis, the guy sitting in Grodin's chair-- don't people call him Chuck?

Yeah. He's never actually been named on the show, but scripts refer to him by the actor's name. And the cast sometimes call him "the Chucknician."

P-C, the trailer gave the whole Cyberman stuff away, but managed to keep the Daleks secret, more or less (for the exceptionally eagle-eyed there was a Dalek-style zapping, but it was blink-and-you-miss-it). The return of Mikey was a complete surprise, and beautifully done. An improvement after last year, where they gave all the Dalek stuff away in advance and ruined the reveal.
The BBC have been completely open about the fact that Billie is leaving, and in fact they're playing on it with all the "the last story I'll ever tell" stuff - but I think it's a red herring, she'll live but the Doctor will leave her behind .
