his part was great. -- nm - loosilu Oct 17, 13:29
That was the episode that the Tardis' accent default was English. - the liioulu with Oct 17, 13:29
That ep was never boring to me, it grabbed me right off. (And David, I've kept The Girl in the Fireplace in perpetuity on the bedroom dvr) - Trish Oct 17, 13:27 1
- I can see that. -- nm - Remlik Oct 17, 13:33
it's one of my favorites ever. I had my mom watch it; and she really liked it, too. - b. Oct 17, 13:14 1
- in no way did I expect it to be a documentary. -- nm - loosilu Oct 17, 13:31
If Loosi says something negative about Girl in the Fireplace, I'm throwing a yeti at her. -- nm - David Oct 17, 13:12 4
- that's another in my top 5, if not top 3... -- nm - znufrii Oct 17, 13:40
- have not seen it yet. but it's good to know what my opinion is supposed to be. - loosilu Oct 17, 13:30
- Yeti and loosi do not live on the same continent! -- nm - sycor killer Oct 17, 13:18 1
  - except during mating season :) -- nm - peglegpete Oct 17, 13:20
thank you. -- nm - znufrii Oct 17, 13:11 9
- what really nailed me on that episode - Remlik Oct 17, 13:21 8
  - I think my problem is that they played Van Gogh as passive and sweet. but the energy from his paintings is frantic. -- nm - loosilu Oct 17, 13:34 7
    - He was bi-polar/manic-depressive. He wasn't ALWAYS frantic. In fact the episode opens with him (spoils) - TWuG Oct 17, 13:40 6
      - When you know a famous artist well, you feel you know things about their personality. Like with musicians. I would not expect Sid Vicious - loosilu Oct 17, 13:43 4
        
        he's been a favorite of mine since childhood, and I probably know more about him than any other artist. it felt fine to me. - b. Oct 17, 13:48
        
        You saw 3 days of his life in the episode. You're telling me the guy you know didn't have 3 days where he wasn't a complete manic obsessive asshat? -- nm - TWuG Oct 17, 13:45 2
        
        you win. Everything about hte episode was perfect. -- nm - loosilu Oct 17, 13:47 1
        
        oh, I see. nevermind. -- nm - b. Oct 17, 13:49
      - right, he wasn't passive and sweet throughout. -- nm - b. Oct 17, 13:42
