'A Hole in the World'
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.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
I graduated high school in 1980. Which meant my senior pictures were taken during the summer of 1979. Off-white suit, dark brown shirt and tie, wire rim glasses, hair parted in the middle.
My Aunt Joyce said I looked like John Denver. And except that my hair is darker, she wasn't too far off.
On the other hand, there are worse celebrities to resemble.
I think my 8th-grade photo would make fame reject me.
The 1985 picture I linked to upthread was just how I looked that year. But in prep school I deliberately went out of my way to look horrible for school pics. Wore my glasses (which I had ditched within the first week of having them prescribed), unplaited my hair..
There must have been a reason for it at the time--I just can't think of what it might have been.
There's something about this episode of Who that's very Classic Who. And I don't think it's just the period (which is in the ballpark of the period they kept coming back to).
I really like the kid, though I fear for his well-being.
Gallifrey! He said "Gallifrey"! I'm a giant dork.
I really like the actor who plays the lead alien. Banes! The one who plays Banes.
Yeah. The casting on this one was good (it's been a bit hit-or-miss on some episodes).
I really am not liking this episode. I'm annoyed with the Tardis for putting them in a location where Martha's race is an issue. They could have been in Paris at roughly the same time, and lived a very different existence, she wouldn't have had to be a maid. Issues aside, putting her in that kind of position means that she does not have the power to help him.
And WHY did Martha not have possession of the watch? If he was programmed to not think the watch was a big deal, why would it be in his possession if Martha was the one to open it? Also, given its power, why could they not program it so that the Doctor (or Martha) is the only one who can open it?
That little kid was kinda creepy.
But I'm a fan of this story. I like that her race is an issue because it often doesn't when I think it should, like when they went back to Stratford.
Right, yes, logic. I have no answer that isn't completely pulled out of the ass of the King of Handwavium.

oh yes, I appreciate that they finally acknowledged it, but the Tardis could have picked a better place/time for them to hide. She can't help him here.
