@riggs: I LOLed +1 to you sir!

@jackburnt: That's how you throw in Rugby- anything else is illegal, nothing girly about it.

God knows I miss the Black Whirlwind- if ever there was a character who deserved a spinoff it was him...

@OohErMissus: he's still a big money-maker internationally- he only made an ass of himself on US talkshows- over here in Europe he's still more assosciated with Top Gun than with L. Ron

@samarkand: the Co-Op also do banking, they're a community-initiative thingamy, heavy on ethical policy and outreach and stuff- so groceries, banking and funeral care all make sense as avenues for them to go down

@Klebert L. Hall: that there is part if a major nationwide franchise/chain/conglomerate of undertakers- and a pretty darned professional outfit. Plus all of our urban ornate old houses were either bombed by the Lufftewaffe or bought up by Russian billionaires

approximately five times larger (assuming population and TV veiwership is directly proportional, which, as both countries have equivalent standards of living etc, seems logical) ;-)

And if it's not an institution (which it is, everyone in Britain knows what Daleks and CYbermen are and would recognise Matt Smith on the street) how the hell did it do 20-30 years on TV? or get revived after a decade?

Well they managed to fund the Ecclestone series without them. Bounce the numbers, US DVD sales don't come remotely closse to license fee revenue, and Who is a British institution, here it's the most watched thing on the most watched channel- not some niche cable show.

@Abaddon: ditto, as happy as I am that US peeps be loving the Doctor, it bugs me that we PAY for Who and they get the first screening

Only if 'Blasto: the first Hanar Spectre' is a major NPC.

@dtptampa: Rachnai as Zerg, Asari as Protoss- I can dig ;-)

I just want a game where sex is more than this:

@d4rk-h4x0rer: the DA:O sex-scenes look like a couple of greased-up stoners trying to play Twister- in their underwear(?)

Jesus, I think my eyes are actually bleeding now

Tolkien said that they weren't so much 'evil' as 'mislead' so they weren't evil foreigners...

But as South Park once taught us- they've already done everything ever, if you think too hard about it you'll have a nervous breakdown and hallucinate a town of simpsons lookalikes...

@serenada: Mount Fucking Everest is in the Fucking Himalayas .

'readers' is giving them a bi too much credit ;-)

Silly foreigners; believing The Sun like that... it's like watching Americans pissing off the Guards at St. James'- it never gets old...
