Any reason why the whitefonting DR. Who eps being shown on Sci Fi?
Haven't you killed me enough for one day?

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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, that was confusing. I wasn't sure if I should highlight or not because it might be unaired stuff.
Dr. Who, Evolution: Anyway, I don't guess I understand a) the whole struggling with the fraught Dalek situation and b) emergency time-shifting.
Either they're universally dangerous as have been presented in the past, and a perpetual threat that should be dealt with as soon as possible, or they're sweet redeemable confused woobifyable enemies that merely need to be allowed to express their humanity. First season we saw Rose feeling sympathetic, and ultimately not allowing the last Dalek to die, right? Resulting in much chaos and death. Now we've got four, okay, three plus a hybrid, okay, one again, and we're not going to take every bit of action we can?
Hmph.
Must be missing something. Possibly overextending the metaphor.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I think the meta of "OMG! This is the last Dalek—if we kill it, where will future 2-parters come from?!?" overrode any common sensical approach to the story there Liese. I don't think the Doctor would allow pity to stay his hand knowing how many people lose their lives whenever the Daleks make a bid for conquest.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I'm OK with the Doctor getting a little bit more forgiving, especially because the hybrid was actually redeemable. And the Doctor also has a big case of I'm The LAST Survivor, so that's a syndrome you can drive a truckload of bad decisions down.

But I'm really, really sick of Daleks.

I think the saying in the Who-verse is "Daleks and taxes."

Question to those of you who saw "Evolution of the Daleks" British version: over at TWOP one of the things that is mentioned that was cut was some bit with Martha and the psychic paper. Could anyone illuminate me? Was it very important?

Our wings are not tired.
That one is next up for my viewing with the kids. I'll have to look for it.
