    @CSX321: i second that thought.i am so pissed at FOX for leaving us all with a damn cliffhanger.it has finally dawned on me to not support as much as i have cause it sucks watching a story and not getting an end.god if i read my books that way like reading 2/3 of a book and not finishing it would leave me depressed.

    So, i've never watched this show, but it's about time travelling on the BBC, any relation to the Good Doctor?

    @dethklokso: It's a great premise, a fun show, but don't fool yourself when watching it, it is not what you would call a "smart" show.

    @dethklokso: Its more like "Torchwood," sans aliens and the "everyone is bi" vibe. There are anomalies (rips in time), and things come through — mostly dinosaurs, because let's face it, dinosaurs are cool.

    So why two seasons of 7 and 6 episodes instead of only one of 13? Wouldn't that make more sense? They could go in hiatus if they needed, but why consider them different seasons?

    @Magicant: The final two seasons should just be her, in her underwear (or bathing-suit) with a massive machine gun killing all the future predators. With maybe a little crossover help from the Doctor.

    Damnit, I don't get BBC-America, as much as I'd like to. I mean, I download it the next day anyway (actually, due to the time difference, usually that night) and watch it then, but still.


    Of course, with Hulu coming to the UK and BBC coming to Hulu, won't Doctor Who be on Hulu immediately anyway?

    Watch the papers folks, because I am about to go postal.


    Cablevision doesn't offer BBCAmerica, I can only get it through Verizon (not in my area) or Satellite (you can have my cable modem when you pry it from my cold, dead, fingers.)


    So. No easy to watch Doctor Who repeats for me.


    So. Aside from Eureka, which is on Hulu, and the new Galactica Universe shows, which will also be on Hulu, there is NO REASON (as of right now) to watch SyFyllis...


    Monkeys throwing darts would make better decisions.

    @btgoss: A cable company that doesn't carry BBCA should have its license revoked.


    I personally have both a cable modem (but no cable TV) and DirecTV. I <3 them. Every channel you could possibly want -- some you can't get anywhere else -- and actual customer service.


    One time I called in and they changed what I wanted right over the phone and APOLOGIZED b/c they had to put me on hold for five minutes.

    Wait, serious question. Why any delay at all? BBCA, SighFeh, it's not we have to stand at the docks, shouting at the arriving ships to find out of Little Nell is dead. Even that only took a few weeks...

    @92BuickLeSabre: I actually have no idea if Little Nell is dead. All I know is that it was a very pressing question at one time.


    Likewise, I have yet to determine who shot JR, and I will be very sad if the answer doesn't turn out to be Mr. Burns.

    This is great news for me. I watch them on TV like the olds do for any number of irrational reasons.


    And now I have something to watch during the summer!


    (Although I'm only up through Leela's last episode on my catch-up/reviewing of old episodes to fill the emptiness. Must. Watch. Faster.)

    I don't understand why we Canadians have to wait 6+ months for Doctor Who on CBC, when the revival is a CBC-BBC coproduction.

    Why does SighFeh want with the Doctor anyway? I thought they were more of "Scare Tactics", John Edward and Wrestling channel.

    Sometimes, just sometimes, the headline you mistakingly read would actually be more interesting than the actual article.


    What I read was "Monster Trucks in Time." Sure it sounds like a USA Up All Night movie, but dammit, I would watch it. It might even be a Cadillacs and Dinosaurs spinoff!
