Torchwood: WHERE were these cool premises when the season two was sucking?

Indiana Jones: Cate Blanchett's Red Star Dominatrix still looks badass.

All that's going to be running through my head during Indy is "Dude needs to shave ASAP". That fuzz above his lip looks like it crawled up there for a spell and forgot to leave.

@jeet: There are episode commentary videos with RTD on the Doctor Who website. He talks. A lot.
And I love Doctor Who, and think David Tennant is brilliant. Yes it's silly, yes it's campy, but it's British sort of silly and campy, which for some inexplicable reason always works for me.

Oh Boy, more David Tennant Silly Doctor Who.

I know it's a kid's show, but does it have to be a kids show for stupid kids?

It's like Russell T. Davies has a groove in his brain, and he can't stop thinking about fat people who turn into babies!

Have you people even seen a picture of Russell T Davies?

I'd bet dollars to doughnuts he's working out some self-hating fat-guy-who-looks-like-a-man-sized-baby issues. He, Jonah Hill and Jack Black should form a support group.

In Atlanta, it's illegal to tether a giraffe to a lamp post. Whether or not said giraffe is allowed to carry a switchblade is for the courts to decide.

That first Indiana image is from the un-doctored trailer. The one where the guy in the background isn't replaced by boxes, no extras appear out of nowhere, there are no crazy cgi legs, everyone's actually pointing their guns at the Americans, and no giant American flag waving across the screen.

@ThatGuyOverThere:
Such is the case in a few states. There are always wacky provisions held over on the books for reasons that have been lost to history. For example, in Virgina, "gravity or switchblade" knives are illegal..etc. etc. with exceptions being..yada,yada,yada...the Harbor Master of the town of Hopewell. So yeah, you can carry a switchblade if you're one armed...or the Harbor Master of Hopewell.
Also...in Maryland, a gentleman is required to have his sword with him if he is a certain distance away from his home.

Oh..and yes. Microtechs rock.

@Jeff-Minor: If you see some of the other pics, its clear that the craft is not the Enterprises but likely a training ship for cadets. There is a crew of them standing around,and the ship has a bunch of jump seats.

@DeepFriar:
You and me both, pal. You and me both.
I sometimes consider standing outside a theater that's showing any movie he's in with a petition saying "We, the undersigned, feel that the film titled _______ would have been much better had it not starred Shia LeBeouf. Because of this fact, we pledge to not buy tickets to, buy dvds of, or perform any other revenue generating activity regarding any other movie in which he has any part which could be considered anything more than a `walk-on`. Sincerely, [thousands of names here]"

@Miranda Kali:
Oh, you know me so well. I've been dreaming of a microtech for years, but I refuse to spend that much money on a knife that's illegal to have anywhere but in a display case.

Oddly enough, in my state one-armed people are legally allowed to carry switchblades... and no, I'm not considering amputation.

The Spider-man show isn't bad. I was pleasantly surprised by it.

"Silly"? Quirky maybe :-) But why has Miss Foster got a sonic screwdriver? Does anyone know yet?

They're using toggle switches on a control panel? How retro. The shuttle craft's engines look like an after thought. They should be streamlined and integrated to a smooth fuselage. The shuttle craft is designed for atmophere, so in the event that the shields aren't working (you can count on it!), the craft should be aerodynamic, not a heavily textured brick. Whatever, I'm still a fan.

Indeed. Unless he knows some unorthodox, Peruvian/Himalayan fighting style.
...Classic OTF or 'suptin like a Nemisis or Microtech?

That's totally a switch blade. Italian stiletto style.
I'd rather have a nice OTF one though.
