BBCA ran a teaser for Torchwood during the Mayo Mysteries.

Well, technically, Mickey was the first black companion, even though he was only one for two episodes.

oh, I didn't count him as an actual companion, he was just there because of Rose. Although I think you're right.

Oh, and they're advertising Doctor Who season 2 on Supernatural Saturdays in September.

It makes me wonder if there are people who get BBCA who don't get Scifi and vice versa.

I think that it introduces Doctor Who to a new audience.

If they can count Sara Kingdom as an official companion (she was only on one episode back in the '60s, IIRC), then (IMO) Mickey counts, since he told the Doctor he was coming onboard as crew instead of just accompanying Rose.

What's the word on Painkiller Jane? Is it getting good ratings, do people like it?

They need to be freer with the painkillers if they want me to watch again.

heh. I don't mind it. I mean, I don't season pass it, but it was on after Who tonight, so I watched it.

Evidently, I have a lot to say about "Dr. Who" after mainlining Season Two, then watching "The Runaway Bride" and "Smith &Jones" last night. Thoughts here.

Hmmph. As it turns out, my VCR didn't record "The Runaway Bride" last night, though I did get home in time to see "Smith & Jones." Is the Christmas ep enjoyable/important enough to ahem and stay 90 minutes after work to watch, or should I just go on with the season from the point I joined at?

Well, I imagine Sci-Fi will re-run it a million times, so I'm sure you cna catch it at your leisure. But on the whole, yeah. It's a good episode. Not the best, and Donna Noble's pretty annoying at first, but the latter half of it is definitely worth seeing. Plus, Tardis in a car chase!
