(The resolution of the actual A-plot was, I guess, fine. But I'll always forgive an unsatisfying one-shot if it comes with a dollop of long-term mythos. See also: cut my fannish teeth on X-Files.)

Semi-serious question - do Time Lords canonically have some way of sensing where they are in relation to each others' timeline? Because a question like "when did you last go home" seems like it would be REALLY hard to answer without a much longer conversation establishing when "when" is in the first place.

Our wings are not tired.
Hence my deep and abiding love for the wibbly wobbly timey whiney! Have not seen Part 2 yet, but I am looking forward to a nice Doctor Who escape later today.

"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
Jessica, I recall that Gallifrey used to have something in effect (the Transduction Barrier?) that prevented Time Lords from visiting it prior to their last visit, which generally kept their interactions with each other linear, if not with even passage of years. Of course, with the Doctor and the Master zig-zagging through time frequently they probably cross each other's timelines a lot.

CW has already renewed almost its entire slate, including Roswell, which hasn't aired its S2 yet.
Meanwhile, if you would like to know more about Roswell? Ask me about Roswell.

I never got into Roswell but I'm glad to see some of the continuing shows. But I'm a bit ... confused? ... about remakes of Walker: Texas Ranger and Kung Fu. Maybe because a broadcast channel (Charge!) is running about four hours of the original Walker series every evening.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I loved the new Roswell! It was my favorite of all the new things. I thing the brand new stuff in general is way better than any of the reunions. The only reunion I really enjoyed was Deadwood, but I don't know that it was as good as the original seasons.

And now, have watched the new eps of Who. Really irritated that I spoiled myself by looking up the adorable secret agent on IMDB halfway through the first ep.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I enjoyed these two eps a lot. Dewan was fabulous and the way they revealed the relationships between the various antagonists and that who was REALLY in charge kept changing. Looking forward to how what happened to Gallifrey will play out this season.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I kinda don't care about Gallifrey? I mean, it was presumably gone back when we met 9, and I didn't really come to grips with it really being tucked away in a pocket universe or whatever when 12 got back to it (although that whole thing was pretty great) so now I don't have much in the way of reaction. Which doesn't seem right.
