Aw, now I am all nostalgic for that badic writer. No recent installments, Dana?
Nope, she seems to have dropped out of sight. She may return truimphantly -- you never know.
Mal: Then I call it a win. What's the problem? Inara: Should I start with the part where you're stranded in the middle of nowhere, or the part where you have no clothes?

Boxed Set, Vol. IV: It's always suicide-mission this, save-the-planet that.
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.
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.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Fiona (DW): I agree about Jack being underused. I mean, on the one hand, if you're going to bring Jack back it almost should be a proper story about Jack, you know? Fix the unfurled thread and all that. But I also kind of think it's keen that they just threw him back into the Doctor's world and let him go, even if it meant not giving him more stuff, because that's what it was a lot of the time back in series one.
Also, it wasn't just seeing Gallifrey for me--it was that intense explanation of what had happened, and the way the Doctor's entire mannerism transformed when he was talking to the one person in the universe who could actually understand what happened. That tense, serious focus; the way he never broke face, not once, even when the master was mustache twirling with sorrowful maliciousness. You get used to never expecting explanations, in Doctor Who. You handwave all kinds of shit, especially explicit emotional interaction and character backstory. But then RTD *gave us some* and I am still flailing with the awesomeness of it.
Not to mention that single throwaway line about fancying someone who never notices you with his manic grin on, and Jack looking at Martha sympathetically: "You too, huh?" Yeah, babe. Her too.
BLESS. I love this show.
Also, I went to the Doctor Who exhibition at the Museum of Science and Industry here in Manchester yesterday, and it was *brilliant.* It had all these amazing props and costumes and Daleks and Cybermen and THE FACE OF BO. I stood next to the Face of Bo! I hugged the TARDIS!
Pictures forthcoming.

They had the full-size Spider Queen--she was huge!--and the Lazarus Machine they used in the beginning of season three, and a couple of Ood, and, and and!

Maybe it will tour like the Lord of the Rings one did? Because otherwise, NOT FAIR.

No, I don't think so--I think it was a special exhibit for the Manchester MOSI. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's staying in Manchester until the end of July, and then done. But they keep adding stuff from series three, so I wish I had a chance to go back before it finished!

There's a Classic Who museum in Blackpool, apparently, with all this material from the first series, and the new series has loaned some stuff out to that museum as well.
Did I mention the series two Doctor coat was there? Because it was! And it was long and very cool-looking!
