Both the tiny, short version of me and my current incarnation would have squeed at that. In a manly way, obviously.

And something else to consider a lot of their police force and expeditionary force must have been barely out of puberty... odd. Of course, as you say this is entirely based on the assumption that they're talking about Earth years.

I see your point, but I'm inclined to think they wouldn't have waited until Episode 5 to pull that kind of thing without at least mentioning "mysterious" deaths or the like.

Nice dissection, there. I'm inclined to agree with you about keeping watching to see how they resolve the story and I also agree with you about some of the inconsistencies and holes in the plot:

Or, exactly the same consequences as when you're bitten by a mosquito. Possibly an allergic reaction, possibly nothing.

OK, your points in order:

As Othergonzo says, Doctor Who is a kid's (or family) show - I have no idea how you could think otherwise, frankly.

No, no, no, fer chrissakes! Why the hell did you chill the skull first? Philistine.

Both protagonists from Inversions fit the…

That'll make you go blind, young man.

So, the new layout has effectively obscured half the explanatory text in the first panel of Quantum Vibe. Really, can we get something a little less invasive? I'm fed up seeing it on my TV and I'm pretty sure we can avoid it on the web.

Rocket boots?

I hear there's this guy Cohagen waiting to talk to you, pal.

It's always nice to see Scotland get a good home result.

I believe this is the slow clap you're looking for:

Doesn't look like Nightcrawler - similar, but he looks more demonic. According to IMDB it could be Azazel.

Generous? On what level? I mean, it is a show that comes from Asia, so having white or african-american characters seems pretty odd considering that.

I don't know Charlie Jane - Generation X was pretty damn awful. You know you're in trouble when all you can get are Banshee, Emma Frost and Jubilee from the entire X Men roster.
