In my mind, his name is Unctuous instead of Lucius.
I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

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.

I think my Kolya is the one that M. wrote in Cowboy Days, who is complex and interesting, if still an asshole.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I found Doctor Who 3x5 to be disappointing. I really wish they would stop throwing around the term "DNA" as if it were applied phlebotinum.
I want to like Martha, but so far they haven't done much to define the character, except that she's Not!Rose.
And I really, really wish the Doctor would stop approaching the Daleks unarmed without having a reason to believe that they won't shoot him.
The Doctor is supposed to survive by his wits, not by dumb luck.

Where is the SPN Origins discussion going to be-- here, or Other Media?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Other Media, I think. That's what we did when there were Buffy comics at the same time as episodes.
(Personally, I've decided to eschew the comics, because extracanonical canon will always be problematic somewhere down the line; but that's ancillary to my reasoning on the location of discussion of it.)

I also figured it would be in Other Media, Lee. And I am so not eschewing them because of the... thing with the extra canon stuff.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Doctor Who 3.5 was interesting. I'm sort of fascinated and amused by Dalek psychology. They ARE good for smackdowns, though: "You told us to imagine...and we IMAGINED YOUR IRRELEVANCE." I agree with you, Tom, about the DNA stuff, which is of course beyond ridiculous, but that's par for the course with this show. I wonder about the last Dalek. They've been emphasizing the "last Time Lord" stuff, which does imply another one will pop out of the ether soon enough (but then where will the Doctor find his emo???), and I can't imagine they'll get rid of the Daleks, so that last Dalek has to somehow become more or yet more have to have been hiding out of time or some such thing. Something else that was surprising was the Doctor's compassion for the last Dalek. One of his strongest character traits is his pathological fervor for the sanctity of life, embodied in the immortal "Everybody lives!" But his hatred for the Daleks seems to be at odds with that, and it was kind of cool that he recognized that while he really really wanted them dead, he wasn't about to do it himself. Well, this time. Hasn't he basically destroyed them all in each finale? I forget how it worked in the first finale. In the second finale, maybe he just threw them into another dimension?

I'm not sure. Through most of his history dumb luck has played on heck of a role.
