Man, that was seriously creepy.
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
In related news, I finally saw The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances and while I didn't find it scary, it was brilliant. This was the first appearance of Captain Jack, right? I wish I liked other episodes as much as these; I'd still be watching it, but I've found it too uneven. It swings between funny/campy/creepy and heartbreaking&infuriating; I never know how I'm going to feel when I'm done watching. Torchwood is the same, worse if anything. Yes, Doctor Who&Torchwood are too hard on my delicate soul.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Those episodes are by Stephen Moffat, who is now the showrunner. You might want to give the Eleven episodes a try, if you haven't already.

Empty Child/Doctor Dances are my favorites, I think. Having watched a couple of decades of Old Who, having Nine say "Oh, give me a day like this, just one day," was a lot more resonant than others may have found it.

Hell, yeah. I remember Tegan's last episode, which ended with the Daleks wiping out just about everyone we had met throughout the episode who wasn't a show regular, and she left the Doctor because she was tired of all the death and destruction that surrounds him.
So having Nine say "Just this once, everyone lives!!" is a huge thing for him.

Nope. Are they worth a go?
they're great, fluffy fun! nothing exceptional about them. however, having read the books, it kind of taints the show for me. just the way it does when any book is made into a movie/tv show. they never quite live up to the books. the changes Alan Ball makes usually annoy me. one of the only things he's done right was creating the character of Jessica.

Three weeks until more Fringe! I'm not sure I can wait that long.

This was a heck of an episode, though!

It was! That's why I need more now! Walternate is very sneaky.

why did Fauxlivia need to be kidnapped? He couldn't have just told her that there were treatment possibilities?
