Too late to the discussion, but the new Daleks definitely need to get on Weight Watchers or something.

I'd be just as interested in seeing some experimental/bold failures as I am in reading about the show's greatest successes.

It's weird, I know most of the humor is from them being terrible people getting into terrible situations, but I usually wouldn't describe it as "uncomfortable," as opposed to, say, Curb Your Enthusiasm (which I also enjoy).

It makes sense, phodreaw. Smartphones are just a few steps away from reading our brainwaves anyway.

I thought "Rascals" was kind of fun, though certainly not great. Yes, it makes no sense whatsoever that a few Ferengis could take over the Federation flagship, but there are some great gags.

He actually seems to be pretty good with kids - all his stuff with kids he seems to really interact well with them.

"But I can totally understand why people don't like the show. I would find it off-putting except that I think he's genuinely funny."

I guess the TVClub is doing a really good job of deleting spoiler comments - it's just so weird when the comments complaining about spoilers are still left there in the thread and the actual spoilers are nowhere to be seen. (But certainly happy to see them quickly deleted)

"not stupid enough to expect playing along to gain him anything whatsoever from Little Prince Bastard Shithead"

I haven't seen about half those comedy routines you mentioned, but I do get kind of annoyed at the prevalence of "Southerners like incest!" jokes out there. But that doesn't make me think it's okay to go on a long rant about gay kids being pussies and killing your kid if he's gay.

Hendel's right. With some people you just can't win. He apologizes too much and he's overdoing it, but after the initial press release apology, everyone was harping (justly) that it was some half-assed bullshit thought up quickly by his agent. That's not to say you have to take the new apologies as sincere, but it

Interesting. I guess the only classic "historical" I've seen thus far would be the exception to the rule: The Mask of Mandragora. I liked it though.

Data's Day: "Do Androids Dance With Electric Feet?"

'I'm not convinced Plinkett actually liked the Star Trek reboot. Most of the commentary is "This is good because it's stupid" kind of stuff. I took it as satire.'

Sometimes I wish they would do more historical stories, but then almost every time they do it on RTD Dr. Who I'm glad they don't do it more often.

I heard some of the later McCoy serials (just before the show ended) were actually pretty good. I'd be interested in seeing at least a representative sample of each doctor, no matter how bad their run

Yeah, I found some video files of Troughton's episodes and nearly all of them have "reconstruction" in parentheses. Is it just the audio with some production shots or something?

That sounds pretty entertaining

They're done in subtitles? Like Dr. Who Pop-up Video or something?
