I love the sketch of the TARDIS and of K-9.
I am not having sex with Spike! But I'm starting to think that you might be.

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.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
Is there a general feeling that the Doctor/the showrunners ought to be more careful of Martha's sensibilities/their portrayal of her empowerment because of her skintone? Or would you say that she is generally portrayed, as a character, in a demeaning or racially stereotypical fashion?
I wouldnt' say that. For me, it seems that Martha's race never seems to be an issue or noticed, even in times when it should be. OTOH, her clothing never seems to be an issue either. They vaguely acknowledged her race in The Shakespeare Code, but no one commented on the fact that she was wearing pants, which I found odd.

Kevin Smith is going to be directing an episode of BSG.

How cool would it be for Jeff Anderson to play a knuckledragger in the background doing his Randal dance as he walked around a viper on deck.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
We were just watching TMNT and I recognized Smith instantly as the voice of the diner employee.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

That is a pity. I was glad that Rose's desperately inappropriate garb was commented upon in the Werewolf ep - that whole "Wee Nekkid Child" thing. (Although it bothered me that there wasn't MORE made of it, rather.)

All is well that ends in pizza.
Maybe the royals and their entourage were used to eccentric behavior and clothing.

Right. So, I figured if she can fit in Elizabethan England with nary a second glance why should Edwardian England be any different?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm pretty sure that race relations were different in the two periods. Not that I don't think the writers were anything but lazy, but the idea that she'd generate two very separate reactions is quite plausible.

But wouldn't people have found a black person somewhat of a wonder in Elizabethan England? Even in London?
