Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

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

I don't know where she's getting that from, then.

Because books.

I don't generally watch Dr. Who, but man do I want to see this episode now. Are they rerunning it soon? (And are we talking SciFi Channel?)

Ah! Cool.

Is it on BBCAmerica right now, then? Or only on UK TV?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Only in the UK.

Edit, spoilery: Can't blink. Statues will eat me.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I don't know where she's getting that from, then.

FAQWife recalled hearing something similar, but I don't recall it either.

I just watched the Dr. Who Confidential. Lots of great clips from throughout the history of the show. Good stuff. One interesting thing about this week's ep: the statues were played by actors! I assumed they just built a bunch of real statues...

Who 3.10 -

He did say on the DVD easter egg that the reason they close their eyes is so that they don't look at each other and turn themselves to stone, but he didn't say that once that happened, it was permanent.

I tried to logic it out, but I then I started to feel like one of the androids from I, Mudd.

The thing you really don't want to logic out is the transcript! The Doctor created the easter egg from a transscript that was given to him of that easter egg. Temporal mechanics gives me a headache.

Right? I loved the whole big ball of timey-wimey stuff non-explanation.
