The thing is, the movie really does hit those points again - I didn't mind it, but was surprised to see Abrams wanting to go that way, considering how much flak he took for (needlessly) retreading Wrath of Khan.

Well, if you were going to watch this show on a DAILY basis, then the MOTION of the… ok, I'm no good at this, but no doubt you can fill in the blanks.

Yes indeed, and I can't believe it's not available on any of the streaming services (well, I can believe it, but it needs to be available everywhere, to everyone). For what it's worth, it looks like it's available for unofficial streaming at the usual places.

Steven Moffat is the show's modern-day John Nathan-Turner - he won't leave until the wheels are coming off.

A place called Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands, apparently: http://www.thomson.co.uk/bl…

Look, if you don't yet understand that Russell T. Davies somehow totally ruined the rebooted show that essentially wouldn't have existed in the first place if not for Russell T. Davies, then you're never going to understand Moffat fandom.

Probably something to do with the fact that guitar groups are on their way out.

But reel-to-reel is the best way to go, apparently… and here I was, thinking that audiophiles couldn't get any more ridiculous.

As a hardcore nerd, I'm going to make the case that the original Battlestar Galactica of the 1970s was the best version:

A quick search suggests that season 2 seems to be available for streaming for free elsewhere on the internet, as it were.

Because he's so dreamy

Yeah, me too. Capaldi was great as ever, but I'm not feeling what everybody else is feeling at all, to the extent that it's like I was watching a different show to everyone else. I think I'll quit watching Who after this season - it seems to be heading off in a direction that just doesn't interest me any more, sadly.

Oh, not this again. Why do the lower orders insist on taking their pants off whenever they meet me? Still, it's nothing that can't be fixed by a quick visit to… Madame Guillotine!

Make me, Bourboniste!

Well, you know what they say: if the law says a decimetre isn't one-tenth of a metre, then two litres of trust and a hectolitre of hope will get you .0010 kilometres of the way there!

As long as that point in time was before June 2003, we're golden.

Yeah, Hughes, keep spinning! Bill Peschel is onto you and your nefarious tricks! (I would have thought it'd make more sense for him to stop spinning, but what would I know?)

No, it's pretty standard outside of the US - today is day nine of the current 10-day metric week.

[Comment removed, because I see this was part of a press junket - my bad.]

When I was a kid, I used to watch it all the time, even though I didn't particularly care for it either. But then we only had three TV channels, so even the crap shows would be avidly watched (and yes, onion, belt, as was style at time, etc).
