Sophie B. Hawkins Dance episode was best episode this season by a country mile.

Considering "Ozymandias" was written in 15 minutes on a bar napkin, that's not much of an excuse.

Who?

The part that hurt worst about this episode was that it just wasn't funny. That's a mortal sin for a sitcom.

The Aqualish, right?

Favorite: "Mixology Certification".

Completely agree. "Paradigms of Human Memory" and "Modern Warfare" probably succeed as the funniest, but "Advanced Dungeons and Dragons" and "Mixology Certification" are my favorite episodes on balance.

Well, that was dire. I don't think I laughed once.

"The Ledge" is one of my favorite painfully unappreciated classic rock songs — well, quasi-classic rock, since by "Tusk" Fleetwood Mac was straddling the line of the nascent alternative rock category.

Sontarans are like if Mr. Potato Head put on his angry eyes all the time.

Pardon?

Can't you see she's REEEEEAAAL!?!?

My favorite season to date is actually S6, so I disagree with the assertion that he peaked in S5 — which actually had a number of middling-to-bad episodes ("The Beast Below", "Victory of the Daleks", "The Vampires of Venice", "Vincent and the Doctor" *dodges rotten fruit*).

Yeah, that was just bizarre.

Jacobi as the Master may have been the best bit of casting the show did during the entire RTD era. And it only lasted for about six minutes.

I don't think that's what the TARDIS doesn't love about her. Something to do with having been the same person three times at different points in time.

I don't really think the character has changed all that much. I mean…aside from the fact that he's aged 300 years.

I like it, but I was kind of hoping for the never-before-mentioned half-brother of a main character who has fallen under the influence of a false god who resides in the center of the galaxy and can shoot lasers from his eyes.

I'm crossing my fingers for a younger clone of Picard who becomes the leader of an revolt by rapey telepathic aliens.

Star Trek XIII?
