I assume that the arrival of Romana and The Doctor allowed Scaroth to expedite things, so the money and power shortage *could* be forgotten.

Okay, I'll say its overrated. I like the story, and agree with most of what you have to say here in praising it, but for me the negatives sometimes overwhelm the thing. Take Duggan, the Bulldog Drummond parody Adams inserts as a joke, which doesn't work because it doesn't match either the energy or intelligence of the…

They're working on a similar DVD version, possibly with animation to bridge the gaps.

Eugene McDaniels — Headless Heroes of the Apocalypse. Can't believe I went this long without hearing it. Amazing, primal jazz/soul fusion that grooves and powers its way through a batch of songs that outline the Rapture, prejudiced grocery clerks, and a hot beach girl. Criminally unheard, except for when it's been…

I don't give one single shit about the costume design. Doctor Who and The Silurians ranks as one of the best stories the series has ever done. It never falters, and never bores. It respects the audience, and allows a discussion of morality versus reality that most children's programming wouldn't even touch.…

And was always intended, I believe. They said they would do the Special instead of a third season.

I read it. It's really well written, and while I understand where he gets his points, I disagree. My biggest problem with it — and I've only seen Ep. 3 at this point, but have the soundtrack and a reconstruction — is still that the story doesn't make sense, which wouldn't be that big of a deal if the rest of the…

Wow. The Armond White of Who criticism.

I would like to point out a few things:

Here's the review this refers to, which might be the most off-putting thing I've ever read on that site. I don't think the album's good, but not like the cultural awareness saga this person lays out.

Pitchfork has already slammed this for being offensive to other people who might already have been all subterfuge-y about Christmas.

This was great. For my own, I'd say the last minute or so of the "Chaos Theory" episode of Community, before the end tag, where the cast dances around to "Roxanne" and the camera just lingers on them all having a great time. It's a celebration of their group, and a hell of a way to end a fantastic bit of TV. Then, of…

Ahh….crap.

As long as the advertising for this helps pay for another great season of Alphas, I'm okay with this existing. Although I have no fucking desire to see it.

Damned straight. Every one of them can look proudly in a mirror and say, "Hell, yes, I did that." But you gotta keep food on the table sometimes.

It's an amazing record, but while it may be the best album that came out of the scene, it's also — until "Fool's Gold" was added to it — the least sounding Madchester record. I'd go with the Happy Mondays Greatest Hits for the first step.

Yup. You've got it. She is.

She always — always — says that the guy who played Wallace was a mortgage broker for Merrill-Lynch and stayed a mortgage broker for Merrill-Lynch after he got the role. And she does it every single time he comes on screen. And she's on most of the commentaries. Really, it *is* a cool story, and I really like the guy.…

Take a drink every time Melora tells that same damned story about the guy who plays David Wallace. Drunk by middle of the 3rd season.

You mean Don Juan Kee-Ho-Tay? Who dies in one issue and then must miraculously be alive in the next so he can kill the monster? Those old Star Wars comics were awesome, and DarkHorse reprinted them.
