I'm an old-school Who fan who quite liked the first new season and was well on my way to enjoying the one just past until a tsunami of cutesy smugness and twitchy overacting swamped the show around the fifth episode.
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

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.

Damnit, you said Runaway Bride and I didn't know what you meant! Please use show titles not just episiode titles in spoilery posts!
Crap, I'm sorry, sumi. I try to be good about that, too.

Sorry, sumi, that was me too. I was trying to be more helpful, since I figured if I just said Doctor Who that people would think I was talking about the Series 2 finale, but instead I ended up being less helpful. My bad.
Newbies tend not to care for former Who, and are usually less vitrol towards Russell. Although they mostly hate his boy!kissing agenda.
Really? But... it's boys kissing boys! What's not to love? People confuse me.

So, new people who prefer 9 to 10 are our own separate category?

That's my category, too, sumi. I miss CE. I enjoy Tennant a lot of the time, but I just adored CE's portrayal.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Personally, I think the best episodes tend to be when they stay on earth, stay away from the wobbily sets and go for high emotional and/or core character drama.
If you are talking about wobbly sets, I'm assuming you mean classic Who.

I found a blooper in a Supernatural episode that has me a bit peeved. If you're going to put a location at the start of an episode and you spell it correctly there, then you darn well ought to make sure the city limits sign is spelled the same way. Especially when it is a town right next to mine.

Sail, I saw that when I rewatched S1, and laughed and laughed. Classic.

I don't think I even would have noticed if it weren't Fitchburg. I mean, Madison and Fitchburg butt right up against each other and they're constantly trying to annex pieces of each other. It's not as if Fitchburg can't keep growing to the south, but there are prime little bits on the border between the two cities that they each want. And, of course, none of the locations in the episode were actually in Fitchburg. Still, it was kinda fun having an episode supposedly set there.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Wait, wait, wait, how do you misspell Fitchburg? It's not like we are talking about Kyrgyzstan or something.
