Nice catch there!
Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Henry's "Blinded me with Science" made me laugh and tear up - so AWESOME!!!
And then the flash of Stark in the preview made me yelp with laughter.
What they're doing with Zane makes me not want him so dead either, so since he's here to stay (it appears) - kudos.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Bunch o' Doctor Who news:
Doctor Who hits the road with Winston Churchill and... Neill from The Young Ones?
In totally unrelated Doctor Who news, the BBC announced that at long last, the 1996 TV movie starring Paul McGann will be released on DVD in the U.S., something that legal wrangling with Universal has prevented for years now. This is probably only good news for the tiny handful of us who want to rewatch Sylvester McCoy's final moments or the episode's handful of other cool bits.
I watched that Paul McGann Doctor Who episode/pilot/thingie on Fox and barely remember it (I'm a big fan of Withnail and I, which is what McGann is probably most famous for). Now I'll have to decide if I want the DVD....
Anyone else see that Who thing?

brillig
I saw it and kind of enjoyed it. It established a Doctor who could be attracted to his companions.
And, of course, Sylvester McCoy.

"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 watched it. Hated the half-human retcon Fox tried to do with the Doctor's origin, Hated that they felt compelled to push an insta-romance with the new companion. Pointed and laughed at Eric Roberts' performance. But in the hands of capable writers I thought McGann would have made an excellent Doctor.
