bo's a portuguese water dog, so his super power is already his hypo-allergenic fur. maybe he also licks villains to death...

according to wikipedia, the 50 ft woman was named "Nancy Archer"

apparently you *can* get exotic species of crows as pets, but it is discouraged (because it's generally bad for the health of the species).

Both crows and ravens are protected under federal law, so it's not actually legal to have one as a pet (though obviously there are exceptions for injured or orphaned birds- I believe you can get a permit, but they're really hard to get). Apparently they do not like to be caged.

no, no. I love the series too, but I'm not spending $500 dollars on a neat box for just the dvds/blurays. That's a little ridiculous.

I agree with this sentiment, though the seemingly grammatical error bothers me on some level. I don't know why they couldn't just call it "Into Darkness" and drop the obligatory star trek prefix (even if that makes the title an even more irritating prepositional phrase) as everyone *knows* it's a Star Trek Movie. Or…

don't forget about all the wealthy parents of rabid children, though. And weirdo collectors, too.

also I was mildly bothered by the fact that the dinosaurs didn't have feathers and weren't updated to current understandings of what dinosaurs looked like (they had time to do it, but didn't)

yeah i noticed that too! It was a very ninth doctor move. Though this doctor has been getting a little harsher in his actions lately, I wonder if he's forgotten what it is to be the doctor too? That would be an actually interesting twist.

did anyone else get a douglas adams-ish vibe from this episode too? I felt like the robots were *verry* douglas adams/hitchhiker's guide (also the whole concept of dinosaurs on a spaceship seemed an adams thing to do).

those poor pigeons. they probably got eaten by birds of prey almost immediately (there's a reason pigeons are street colored/dirt colored) . not to mention the stress of being captured and painted a garish hue.

or terry pratchett AND neil gaiman writing one

my only objection to this would be the continuation of the nolan films bit. Batman can't quit being batman! Not even old grouchy batman from batman beyond has quit being batman- he still thinks of himself as batman (and coaches terry on how to be batman in the field). I loved the Dark Knight, but felt that Rises…

yep! it's really distressing to buy a pattern for ladies clothing if you're not prepared b/c they go by the older version of sizing (where monroe is a 14), instead of modern sizing. European sizing has slightly less inflation b/c they tend to go by your actual measurements (so a size 27 in pants means you have a…

it also depends on the scale that you're working from- clothing, especially ladies' clothing suffers from a lot of size inflation especially over the years (which is why marilyn monroe is famously credited as being a size 14- by the size charts of the day this would give her like a 27" waist. By today's standards,…

or pull out the calipers to test for body fat.

i agree completely (non sarcastically)! what a lovely looking creature!

I meant more the version that is set in america. which is terrible and RTD is completely at fault for.

Imogen Poots (what a name) is also the chick from Fright Night (the new one)!

yeah okay- that makes me feel better. :) (do they age him up in Rome? he seems flabbier) also, it *is* hbo and so far they've done pretty darn well with their casting.
