I had forgotten Laettner existed, or that he even had a pro career. The loathing reemerged quickly, though.

The recurring presence of Ale-8-One does add a touch of Kentucky authenticity

I remembered Terminus because it's the one where Nyssa gradually disrobes.

I think Armageddon Factor is the worst of the season. A shame, as it ends on a steep decline. I find some things to like in Kroll, but can't think of anything in Armageddon (except the quirky world-building with those awful commercials—an element that compares to Robocop and Starship Troopers, but unfavorably). Is it…

I always loved Keeper of Traken as a DW fairy tale. At a young age I found it full of menace and magic. Ah, Melkur. Plus, Adric never worked better than he did alone with Baker.

My two early memories of DW are Genesis of the Daleks (I was at a friend's and his older brother was watching it), which left me terrified and enthralled, but I was too young to catch on to the show. A year or two later I had a babysitter who was a fan, and I saw "The Five Doctors" on Saturday she was watching me and…

Holmes did exactly that with Glitz in the Trial of a Time Lord season. A pair of con men appear in Part 1 (Mysterious Planet) and one is back in the last installment (Ultimate Foe). Of his double acts, Garron and Unstoff are superior to Glitz and Dibber, but I suppose Jago and Litefoot are the gold standard?

I had the same thought. These have become so infrequent and not posted according to schedule that I was already worried an end was coming, so I was already prepared to interpret the schedule that way. We'll see how it plays out…

Danson was brilliant on Curb Your Enthusiasm, too.

Don't be silly. Sontarans don't reproduce sexually, they're cloned and hatched.

I'm hoping both Raylan and Boyd survive. They way things have played out an been set up, if Raylan kills Boyd, I don't see how it can do anything but "finalize" the latter's character as self-righteous hypocrite rather than a righteous hero. I'm hoping, instead, like the end of the first season, mutual opposition to…

Are we 100% sure he's dead? At first I thought stopping the car on the tracks was a suicide attempt; when the train stopped I wondered if it was a bushwhack. Is he simply gone, or when the next episode resumes will be be on the run with two dead engineers left behind? I kinda hoped he'd be the one to kill Walker…

Still no review, still no announcement. Bummer. Hope the swam pies didn't grab our scribe, Bahn.

"they are not 'ice crystals'"

She is lovely. I hope you follow up and check out the film. It's the culmination and my favorite of the Three Colors trilogy, so if you're up for it, I'd say it's worth it to watch Blue and White first. You'll get the full impact that way.

I don't think the bulb is significant, only the broken cover. It came on when he put his foot on the brake and started the truck, then when he put it into gear and began to drive, he took his foot off the brake whereupon the light went out. The camera lingered as a reminder of the fight and maybe as a sign of how far…

I think it's Eurythmics, not Annie Lennox, but how do people feel about "I Saved the World Today"?

Maybe he has room for only one

Coming back to this a year later…

Maybe they'll leave you hanging regarding the kid's fate until the 10th episode. Since the central characters of each installment differed but lived in the same complex (i.e. community) and appeared in the background of other installments (even commenting on them, when the ethics class discussed the plot of episode…
