Actually Im talking about the schedule on BBC in the UK vs the schedule on BBCA here in the states,

Sci Fi runs the new seasons first there, then BBCA picks them up not the other way round

So...what I want to know is....When will Sci Fi start running season 4?

I'm just ticked that the CBC didn't show this year's Christmas special at Christmas. They'll probably wait until Summer when Season 4 (I think) will air here. This would be both after Hockey and the BBC run are finished.

Shani, I suspect you'll have to wait at least until summer as well.

oh well....at least its less than two weeks til the premier of Season Two of Torchwood!!!

One of my fav people is going to be on it this season:

James Marsters who plays Captain John, another Time Agent. He is set to have a "horny and violent" sexual encounter with Captain Jack.

I liked the latest VOTD, minus Kylie Minogue going for the Doctor. Although, what woman could resist the charms of the coolest nine hundred year old bachelor? Eh? Eh!? I think the relationship issue stuff shouldn't be dealt with [as they have been] till the 13th life of the Doctor... so in not too long.

Please that was hardly a spoiler. I told you who the main chickie of the special was. If I wanted to spoil it for you I would have said Spoiler: that I am getting really disappointed at the new episodes since they are recaps of older ones. Like VOTD, practical rip off of T. Baker's episode Robots of Death. Then there was a whole subplot in the special that reminded me of that craptacular Leprechaun 4: In Space movie, cyborg in the box, then tie that to the Dr. Who ep where the old guy turned young and into a scorpion... fucked up and I am tired of seeing the lines being drawn.
What do you think about that? Huh? Huh!?

You know what still makes me sad to this day, they couldn't have gotten this started in the US:

I thought McGann brought something really unique to the Who-verse. He was everything about the 4th Doctor I liked, but had a twist on things. Sort of a childlike fascination of the universe and time and life. DAMNIT JIM IT WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT!

Well, Torchwood has started up again and it's...well, everything I'm used to from Torchwood Entertaining enough, but it still feels like it was written by an adolescent, which is a shame. One day, RTD & Co. (but especially RTD) will learn that you don't make something more "adult" by throwing sexual references all over the place.

Still, like I said, entertaining enough. If you liked the first season of Torchwood, it looks to be more of the same this season. Personally, I was hoping they'd improve on the quality a bit...have more episodes like season 1's "Small Worlds"...but c'est la vie.

FYI, Voyage of the Damned is currentlly on YouTube in seven parts. I'm surprised it hasn't been pulled but there it is. Poor CBC.

Anyways, I thouroughly enjoyed it, even as Augi said, it contained a similar threat to Robots of Death. Consider it an homage rather than a rip off. A lot of the Tom Baker era plots revolved around machina going mad anyway.

I thought the distorted Earth history and London's annual christmas plight were pretty funny.

I want to give a very very very big thank you to the one tfp person that took the time to teach me about something I had no clue about...thanks to them I got to see Voyage of the Damned....and WOW what an episode...I enjoyed it almost as much as Blink lol. I even managed to figure out on my own how a simple little cable would let me watch it on my tv hehehe

so... to you.....you know who you are

Now if I can just learn how to burn the damn thing to DVD so it plays in my player (I did burn one that plays on the PC but my dvd player says it cant play the kind of disc I made) I can surprise Dave's dad with it!!!

I realize the new season of Doctor Who starts in the UK tonite but wooohooo we arent gonna be far behind!! Sci Fi starts it here April 18th with the Christmas epi (which I've seen and its FANTASTIC)

Torchwood only has three episodes left thats sad. But Sarah Jane starts here next week

Plenty of gay snogging in the Torchwood episodes left.

The new episode of DW is great. I especially liked the scene where Spoiler: Donna and the Doctor sign to each other through the windows.

it was funny.....we watch the run thats going on on BBCA right now on Saturday night...Utopia was on yesterday and I swear the closer it came to the "reveal" of who the professor was, Dave was bouncing on the couch and I bet if I checked he'd have had a hard on lol (and its NOT like we havent seen this one)

he's so cute

My friends decided I needed to watch DW so they showed me "Blink" and I was hooked. Another of my friends loves Torchwood and I like it but it doesn't hold a candle to DW. We now watch several episodes at a time on Friday nights. We are half way through series three. It is such a good sci-fi show.

Steve Moffat who wrote Blink also wrote the BBC original of Coupling (one of my all time favourite comedies). It was utterly wankered by the US re-make, but the original is great.

And Shani? Are you sure Dave was getting a hard-on over DW, rather than the company he was keeping?

It was fantastic! Kylie Minogue's part wasn't as bad as I feared it would be, and the actor who played Richard on Keeping Up Appearances was on too. I'm so glad Doctor Who is back on Sci-Fi Fridays. There really is no other show I love to watch more after a long week. And every time the Doctor puts on his glasses...rawr.

Doesn't Singapore use PAL TV format? You should be able to buy the UK region discs soon.

Failing that, if you have a proxy in the UK, you can watch each episode on the BBC iPlayer (you may be able to do this elsewhere in the world - check the BBC webiste for details).

Stupid CBC won't be playing it here in Canada until Hockey is over.

And they wonder why so many are turning to uh, other avenues in order to get it.

This week's was good. Spoiler: The oponent was the evil corporation that controls and distributes the Ood to be servants

Next week's trailer looks cracking fun too. Spoiler: The Sontarans are back - last seen in the original run when I was a kid

Head Writer Russel T Daies is clearly working the story arc this year too Spoiler: Once again this week, there was talk of loss and all things must pass, which co-incided with use of Rose's theme from the BadWolf episode in series 1

This episode was great with the Sontarans. The cliff hanger was perfect. Spoiler: The general and the kid talking at the end, as well as the kid joining in with the Sontaran warriors' Sontar chant for some reason captured me. Just damned cool.

I have now seen thru epi 4 and I honestly cant decide if I like Donna or not, Im leaning towards not...I cant put my finger on exactly whats bothering me about her

Aw she's good.

I loved the Spoiler: part in ep4 where she told the Doctor she was leaving and he got the wrong end of the stick

I like the fact she's a grown-up, and not a little girl who wants to bed the Doctor - Donna just wants to TRAVEL with him.

Shani, I am with you on Donna. I have seen interviews with her on TV and she seems really sweet and cool but the writing/story arc they have for her seem really awkward. I am hoping the reason for this comes out in future episodes.

some trivia: the actress playing The Doctor's Daughter (Georgia Moffett) is Peter Davison's (Doctor #5) real life daughter.

Doesn't suck for me. I know it's gonna be on SciFi, so I don't even bother downloading episodes anymore.

SecretMethod70

The wait isn't what bothers me...it's the 10-15 minutes of missing episode cut for commercials. Totally ruins it.

it might look that way, but the original BBC broadcasts (not including the Christmas specials) are 45 minutes long.

SecretMethod70

You're right, my time was off, but I could swear they cut stuff. Even if they don't, it screws with the pacing. That's me being picky though.
