“Norma, you’re a real artist. But love doesn’t always turn a profit,” Walter (Grant Goodeve) tells Norma in a spiel that could easily be lifted straight from a network executive’s patter about adapting a beloved old series for a new run. “It’s just about tweaking the formula to insure consistency and profitability.”

Oops! A Freudian slip of the tongue there. Fed agent + sexy brunette with an obvious high-heel fetish = Cooper & Audrey to me.

Cooper's "friend" (undoubtedly a call girl) looked so much like the 'classic' Audrey Horne that I thought it was her for a split second. Her personality (possibly an act) was very much like how Audrey used to act. I think that was not just foreshadowing her appearance, but a neat way of demonstrating how much Audrey…

Maybe they are all time-displaced versions of the same woman. People have been speculating that the evil doppelganger Cooper is traveling through time (and the possibility of that is supported by the state of Major Briggs' corpse), so maybe Candy went through an interdimensional warp and there are now three of her.

I like to think that Candie is another person who went through a dimensional portal and got spit out of an electrical socket somewhere in the vicinity of Las Vegas. She never recalled her previous existence and is stuck forever in Vegas. (I thought of that at the end of ep.11 when Candie showed up at the cherry pie &…

I am starting to think that Candy, the casino brother's spaced out Pink Lady, once upon a time fell through an interdimensional gateway like Dougie/Cooper did. At least, her behavior certainly seems a whole lot like Dougie's.

Rose, Sarah-Jane, Martha, Amy, and Clara — all were in love with him. Rose declared she was in love with him in her last regular episode. Sarah-Jane revealed she had been in love with him all those years ago when she was his regular companion. Martha stopped traveling with the Doctor after she realized the Doctor…

Did anybody else think that the motion "Dougie" made while getting it on with Jane-E was a parody of Kyle Maclachlan's infamously bad "Showgirls" sex-in-the-fountain scene? (Which also took place in Las Vegas?)

I like the actress and the idea of a female Doctor. I am wondering though if they will make a complete opposite dynamic and have a male companion? And yes, yes, there have been male companions before, but the male Doctor and female companion (one who's usually swooning over him) has been a pretty rock-solid scenario.…

Something I have not read about anywhere, but I've noticed it in every episode. There is a weird screechy noise, kind of like metal scraping metal, in just about every episode. It's always just a brief snippet, no more than a second or two. Typically, it occurs when Dark Coop is onscreen, but I don't think always. But…

that's fair enough. But as the review mentions , it was established and then forgotten in this episode that Bill is a sci-fi buff. Or at least was supposed to have been? And anyway, I thought it was significant that the episode made a big deal out of her referencing sci-fi MOVIES, while she seemed perplexed at a…

Bill has encyclopedic knowledge of science fiction films, but is rather lost at sea when it comes to literature (Robinson Crusoe). Take THAT Millennials! You're all illiterate video-heads! How do you like them apples??

The "Dish of the Day" roast BTW was played by Peter Davison (a.k.a. Peter Moffet, his real name), who would later that same year assume the role of the Doctor on "Doctor Who". Sandra Dickinson, who played Trillian, was his wife (and mother of Georgia Moffett).

I am getting a little impatient with the catatonic Dougie story. Really, nobody in "Dougie's" normal life can tell that something is seriously wrong with him?

One little thing: as everyone was watching Pascha get put in the ambulance, Philip glances over at the FBI agent and the agent glances back. Philip smiles nervously and does his best "Who the hell is THAT guy and where did he come from?" look, but the agent had a weird look on his face, almost like a "Haven't I seen…

Tuan who watches the A-Team (just because the other kids do, yeah sure) and hungrily devours the leftovers from Benigan's is a two-faced jerk. I started out liking him at the beginning of the season, now I'm so hoping he gets a bullet in the back of the head and gets folded up into a suitcase after several…

How about the orgiastic, devil-or-hysteria plagued nuns of "the Devils"?

I completely forgot about that.

So, while "Dark Phoenix Dale" is in the wrong side of a jailhouse, Bobby Briggs is on the right side. Also, Deputy Briggs makes a big deal about having to pee like a racehorse — just a few scenes before Dale-Dougie is shown struggling with having to pee himself. Is this a coincidence, or does this MEAN SOMETHING????

A little late to the party, I realize, but what the hell…my reaction to the first episode.
