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?
Giles! I accidentally killed Spike. That's okay, right?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
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!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Matt, I quite enjoyed the Christmas Special myself, but more importantly, just like the previous Christmas Special, it's part of the regular continuity, so it's worth watching. (It's not actually ninety minutes; it's only an hour.) I won't tell you why you really need to watch it, of course, but suffice it to say that it becomes relevant in the future.

Art Crawl!!!
Yes, the Tardi-car chase was excellent.
And the continuity from the previous Christmas special - very nice.

I found an episode of Life on Mars on one of the Canadian cable channels this evening. I didn't even know they were airing it, nor do I know how far along in the series it was. But I'm excited to see it.
(Thanks to Wikipedia, it seems to episode one of series two.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Matt, given some information that's been released about next season, you should probably watch it. However, it's not necessary to watch it in sequence, I don't think.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Got to the two new Who episodes tonight (yes, I like a good rhyme). Found Donna annoying at first, but by the end of the episode, I really liked her. Also, for an Xmas episode, Ten was mighty Old Testament in his resolving of the situation. I loved that Donna called him on it to. If the Doctor should know anything, it's that being the last of your species makes you do the wacky (and I suspect, given DALEK and "This time everybody lives!", that Nine would have found a way of convincing the queen before offing her kids).
As far as the actual season premiere, count me in on the Martha fan club, because she effin ROCKS! Much as I ended up loving Rose, for a bit I was "well, let's see how she develops". With Martha, I just hope they don't screw with her character's massive enthusiasm for experiences too much. Very endearing (plus she's a hottie).

Well, I don't view it as a special per se--it's not like it's all "The Doctor experiences the true meaning of Christmas and then does the snoopy dance" (though for the record, I would totally watch it, and would probably put it up on youtube). It's more a bridge ep between the series, and is part of the canon of the continuity. *shrug* I think it's worth watching.

Truer words.
Hey, regarding the "Made in Eureka" ads--the dvd for the first two episodes of the second season was sent in promotional packaging of a "Made in Eureka" catalog--all the different things that come out of Eureka in one convenient form. It was highly entertaining.
