I will take "shrug" to mean that you agree with everything I said, and that you're now wearing an "I love Susan" T-shirt.

See above. I think of Susan in the same way that I think about Sulu. Best character ever? Not really. Easily replaced? Probably. But he played his part in building the franchise from the ground up, so he deserves some love. Same goes with Susan, if you ask me.

Three people have chimed in to say that Susan kinda sucks. Didn't know she was so unpopular among fans. Note that she shares the high grade with Barbara and Ian. Maybe I'm overrating her a bit because she was there from the beginning. I like Vicky more, actually, but she's in just a handful of (available)…

The plan here is to watch everything (might take a couple of years at this rate). I saw most of Doctors 3, 4, and 5 as a kid (some of them many times), so I know I like that stuff. I'm dreading getting to Doctor 6, though: I've only seen a couple, and they were terrible. (I haven't seen any Doctor 7, and don't know…

Everyone seems to be cool with "dominatrix," though.

I liked her a lot as 1/4 of the original crew, though on her own, she could be a bit insipid…and when Vicky took over, I was happy with the change. (Weird, how they get rid of her, isn't it? The Doctor locks her out of the TARDIS…have a nice life…)

The Time Lords have only been able to change gender as of tonight's episode…is that right?

He saved the world with his math and his gold pin.

I want to know if Adric is somewhere in the land of the dead (I was a companion, yo, not just a companion's boyfriend…how bout saving me?)

On Star Trek, it's usually "your culture is nuts, but different strokes for different folks, right?" On Doctor Who (starting from Troughton, I think), it's "your culture is nuts…what can I do to help?" (Hartnell's different, as you say.)

The Web Planet is like a demented school play, created by 8 year olds on mushrooms.

For months now, I've been watching all the (complete) Hartnell/Troughton stories in order (most of them, for the first time). Tonight, I wrapped up "The War Games" (holy crap, this one's long), so I'm done with the black-and-white Doctors. A few crude thoughts…

Or add water, freeze it, and make a Sia's breath popsicle. Mmmmm.

That movie is a cautionary tale, but I love it too.

Favorite moment from "Trekkies": weirdo buys a plastic cup that John de Lancie was drinking from, hoping to be infected with his Q germs.

Welcome back, Joe.
Welcome back, Joe.
Hang with me, Joe.
Hang with me, Joe.
Hang with me, Joe.
You don't have to be alone, Joe.
You don't have to be alone, Joe.

Just once, when people talk about vandalism, I want it to be a direct reference to the Germanic tribe that sacked Rome in the 5th c.

I've been here for 5+ years, and I'm only at around 1,500 comments…and I feel like I post constantly, so I'd better step up my game. More your mama jokes, and catch phrases. Dawes! Firefly! Where's the beef! Woozle wuzzle!

That's nobody's business but the Turks'.

Aha! I knew I'd seen him somewhere before. He's well-hidden under his pale elf-alien makeup, on Defiance.
