hmm...i didn't watch SciFi's version last night, sumi. all i remember about the psychic paper is that the Doctor gives it to her right before the Daleks take him away and she ends up using it to get her, Tallulah and Lazlo into the Empire State Building.

Ah and I have no idea whether getting into the elevator was at all in issue.

How is SciFi's version different? Not the particular episode (I'm not up to speed with season 3), but in general. Do they cut stuff out? Would I do better to ahem than watch what's on SciFi or PBS?

They cut for time - -so that they can run more ads. So, bits get left out. They don't cut for content so far as I know but some of the transitions are a bit ragged.

what sumi said. i don't really like watching them on SciFi because i like to see all of it. it's kinda like what FX did to Buffy.

Hmmm, PBS runs without commercials. Even though I'm way behind, I think I'll stick to TiVoing theirs and forget about SciFi.

Not quite as Evil though.

Sailaweigh - do we know that they're going to be running seasons 2 and 3?

I was thinking that they'd run season 2 after BBCA did.

Not a clue. I caught season 1 by accident. According to my TiVo, there's no episodes of Dr. Who scheduled on PBS for the next two weeks.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I've only seen the first 3 episodes of the first season of new Who on SciFi. I plan to watch the whole thing eventually, but I'm thinking I'm going to watch it all on DVD. I don't like the idea that SciFi is cutting bits out.

Which leaves nothing on SciFi that I watch except Eureka. For Colin's sake, maybe I'll hold off on my canceling-cable plan until the season is over.
