I honestly didn't know what to expect from Ten, but SR definately got my buy in. It was such an earth-bound story, but it touched on everything in the universe that was important to The Doctor: his dead homeworld, his honor, his companions and the joy and pain that they bring to him. Many of his incarnations have been manic. Few have been so transparent and warm. I hope this one is in it for a good long time.

Boxed Set, Vol. III: "That Can't Be Good..."
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.

I'd really liked Tennant in his initial "The Christmas Invasion" appearance, then felt let down by the tics and buffoonery of the next two episodes. The story with Sarah Jane forced the actor to employ some much-needed restraint and subtlety, and just about everything struck me as note perfect.

Has anyone seen Christmas Day at Doctor Who's?

Ach, I forgot about mentioning that.
The guy who plays Tom Baker does a lot of impersonating of his doctor. The voice is down perfect. I made Andi a LJ icon of the final sign shot.
If anyone wants a downloadable .avi or .wmv version of the sketch, I have restored the ones I made to the links in this post:

There's also a video floating around of the real reason Chris E. quit Dr. Who done by the same people.

I am amused to the HGTV description of "Keys to the castle"
Keys to the Castle
American host John Barrowman tours four castles
Sure he was raised here, folks, but he was born there and holds dual citizenship.
Interesting note about Barrowman: he was up for the part of Will in Will and Grace, but they decided he seemed "too straight," claims Wikipedia.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
WS, it's very funny to watch people dance around spoilers in discussions (I know exactly 1 spoiler from late in the season, so this is mostly, but not entirely, about other people, rather than me.)--particularly big, thematic, season-long-type-stuff discussions. (I do love that we can have these discussions in a meaningful way, rather than just hoping that the writers keep to the stuff they plant.)
It's also interesting, knowing the spoiler I do know, to try to figure out where and how it fits in. Much like trying to figure out the lay of the land wrt Torchwood.
I do hope that they get back to the "No Second Chances" Doctor of CI. Given that I've heard the title "Girl in the Fireplace" a lot, I'm assuming that we're going to be getting back into it, if you will, from the set-up-heaviness of Tooth and Claw and School Reunion (which, as much as I like it, was setting up, if I had to guess: at least SJ, Mickey on the TARDIS, thematic stuff, and, possibly, the aliens of the episode.)

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Chief tells Laura and Tom that Adama is coming to get them while he's standing right in front of that truck and not really that far away from the dying Cavil. Seems like a bad idea to me.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Showing your faces and discussing your plan in front of a guy that's going to be able to report it all once he finally dies was really stupid.

I had the same reaction in the premiere when Boomer calls Jammer by name as the kidnappees are being taken off of the trucks. I mean, they have hoods on (unless they're main cast... whatever), but calling Jammer by name (twice, I think) within earshot seemed kind of wrong. But, you know, nits.
I haven't seen ep 2 yet, and I won't see it or ep 3 until I get back from Florida. Is keeling me.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I caught up on all of BSG today. I kind of have to get into the mood for the show, you know? And man was it a ride. Sometimes I forget why I like the show, but then I remember that I'm surprisingly invested in it for a show that has, like, no humor. Lack of humor is usually a death nell for me. But I stick around for BSG.
The only thing that bugged me was Fat Lee. I mean, come the hell on. Not only did it look terribly unrealistic, but lovely Jamie Bamber has no idea how to carry it. It looked like a deleted scene from The Nutty Professor.
