No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

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.

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?

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

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

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...

Also, am I the only one who doesn't like this Doctor? He seems too . . .frivolous or something.

Just like the last season/series, the eps get darker, and....

Never mnd, you'll see.

He makes Ben Browder look disinterested in FARSCAPE by comparison. Too funny.
