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.

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

Battlestar: Iraqtica - Does the hit television show support the Iraqi insurgency?

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

In the 1996 television movie the Eighth Doctor explicitly said that a Time Lord has "thirteen lives"

that's a television movie, does it really count for canonical purposes?

Also, am I the only one who doesn't like this Doctor? He seems too . . .frivolous or something. I mean, there's always been an certain amount of wry humor associated with The Doctor, but always backed by gravitas. I don't feel the gravitas here

hides in corner, waits to be shouted down lovingly.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

"I could bring down your government with six words" wasn't gravitas enough for you?

apparently not, since I don't even remember him saying it.

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

Yep, it's all canon. But there's also a strong Who precedent for ignoring the inconvenient bits of canon and making up your own if there's a story you want to tell. (How many times has the Earth been destroyed now?)

During the Time War, all sorts of things that happened could have been reset.

That's the handy thing about a Time War...

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I had been thinking that the Time War would have been better designed if it had actually erased the origins of both the Daleks and the Time Lords, leaving the Doctor and his TARDIS as anachronistic survivals from that point onward in a restructured timestream. But Sarah Jane's return convinced me that it was better to keep the Doctor's past intact.

All is well that ends in pizza.

You gotta love an actor who's a bigger geek than you are.

Maybe we need to get him to post here...
