- Amy Pond wins all contests with Rory Pond taking a close second. Anyone that thinks otherwise is as wrong as wrong ever was. -- nm - TWuG Jun 26, 10:36 12
  - Those are the episodes they're watching. Amy and Rory. I don't know who these other people you're talking about are -- nm - oblique Jun 26, 10:38 2

    - Rose Tyler, her BF Mickey the Idiot, Martha Jones, Donna Noble are the companions from Series 1 through Amy Pond. - TWuG Jun 26, 10:41
  - well Rory was the hugest whiner of all the companions... - Remlik Jun 26, 10:37 7
    - "Where. Is. My. Wife." trumps all that came before it. He takes second based on that alone. -- nm - TWuG Jun 26, 10:39 3
      - sure. they just copied the character arc of Donna for him - Remlik Jun 26, 10:51
      - Would you like me to repeat the question? -- nm - Rory Jun 26, 10:40
      - "Should I repeat the question?" -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 10:40
    - Amy is more of a whiner than him, really. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 10:38 2
      - yes but she's a girl. - Remlik Jun 26, 10:39 1
        
        high maintenance. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 10:40
  - since River is not a companion, I have to agree. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 10:36
I really need to get a better flash for my camera. The "business card bounce card" worked fine last night for taking headshots of the cast of the - oblique Jun 26, 10:32 [Image] 3
- needs a hair cut - what my dad would say Jun 26, 10:39 2
  - your dad is probably right, though -- nm - oblique Jun 26, 10:39 1
    - nah - it's Summer time :) -- nm - JenBro Jun 26, 10:41
too early for poll'ing 4th of July plans? me - party at my house where fireworks will be watched - JenBro Jun 26, 10:22 19

      - loyalty is an underappreciated trait. -- nm - Epiphany Jun 26, 11:06
  - that says today is Dogfish Head day. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 10:35
  - Have a Three Philosophers for me, please! -- nm - TWuG Jun 26, 10:34 2
    - but, she doesn't like belgian beer. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 10:37 1
      - Nor do I and Three Philosophers is heavenly. - TWuG Jun 26, 10:42
- Packing. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 26, 10:31
- work. We're open since it's also new release day -- nm - Remlik Jun 26, 10:31
- don't know yet. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 10:28
- just made them - movie day with Shay. not sure what we are going to see. one blockbuster and one artsy film -- nm - Epiphany Jun 26, 10:27
- Is my brother's BiL also my BiL? If so, party at BiL's house. -- nm - con_carne Jun 26, 10:25
- I don't have to work so no plans. -- nm - spamlet Jun 26, 10:24 1
  - yet. Just found out yesterday I didn't have to work. -- nm - spamlet Jun 26, 10:25
- taking Thursday and Friday off. will be down the shore most if not all of the long weekend, and unpacking at the new house the rest of the time. -- nm - znufrii Jun 26, 10:23 1

Loch Ness Monster used to debunk evolution in state-funded school -- (link) - Strongbad Jun 26, 10:21 5
- When I first heard this, I thought it was someone making up an absurd example of what people *might* do. -- nm - Reagen Jun 26, 10:25 2
  - Well, it IS Louisiana. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 26, 10:30
  - "We try to stay away from all those things that might confuse our children." -- nm - TWuG Jun 26, 10:29
- There's the issue with giving state dollars to religious schools. No control over curriculum. -- nm - TWuG Jun 26, 10:24 1
  - They don't even have to be religious. -- nm - mara Jun 26, 10:26
I typically am on board for most of ST's favorites, but Doctor Who looks like crap. - Beaker Jun 26, 10:13 15
- I just started series 3. It's fantastic -- nm - decline Jun 26, 10:34
- I don't think it looks like crap...I think it looks like something that wouldn't interest me in the slightest. -- nm - Jim Jun 26, 10:34 1
  - yeah, this is how I felt. damn kids. "I'll watch veronica mars if you watch dr. who." freaking *kids*!! -- nm - amanda Jun 26, 10:34
- *ignores this post* -- nm - znufrii Jun 26, 10:29
- I think there's something wrong with my monitor. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 10:28
- Actors reacting to a green screen vs actors reacting to a puppet. -- nm - Spawn Jun 26, 10:24
- I'm with you on this. -- nm - Krusty Jun 26, 10:21
- It's the Farscape hurdle. At first you're like "Seriously, puppets?" And then you're like "Holy shit, this show with puppets is awesome!" -- nm - Reagen Jun 26, 10:19 4
  - Star Wars. -- nm - Spawn Jun 26, 10:20 3
    - But without the overt pandering to children -- nm - con_carne Jun 26, 10:21 2
      - A New Hope really didn't though. Empire not much, either. -- nm - Spawn Jun 26, 10:22 1
        
        You are right... Jedi is the movie I had in mind -- nm - con_carne Jun 26, 10:23
- Get in the f-in corner. -- nm - Spawn Jun 26, 10:16 1
  - *films Blair Witch tribute* -- nm - ceregon Jun 26, 10:17
- Sure. But then you watch it and realize that stellar writing trumps meh production values. -- nm - TWuG Jun 26, 10:14
Sure, Vermin. -- nm - David Jun 26, 10:08 6
- Word! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 26, 10:38
- Never, Guy. -- nm - nubby Jun 26, 10:09 4
  - Maybe, Oblique. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 26, 10:10 3
    - Oh, Groiny -- nm - oblique Jun 26, 10:10 2
      - Meow, Dignan. -- nm - nubby Jun 26, 10:10 1
        
        Definitely Krusty -- nm - con_carne Jun 26, 10:14
So my kids discovered Dr. Who. What's the deal with that show? Maybe I'm just not getting it but it seems like really bad SyFy channel stuff -- nm - oblique Jun 26, 10:07 57
- It's the writing. And, really, they need to start with the first Eccleston season and watch until they catch up. - TWuG Jun 26, 10:13 29
  - We can all agree you can completely skip 'Fear Her', right? -- nm - LMS Jun 26, 10:41 1
    - *nods* -- nm - znufrii Jun 26, 10:43
  - *cough*youmeanMarthaJonesdon'tyou*cough* -- nm - znufrii Jun 26, 10:15 26
    - See, now you're just talking crazy shit. Donna is the worst companion of the current series. - TWuG Jun 26, 10:17 25
      - Coincidentally I saw 'Micky' last night at a screening. -- nm - LMS Jun 26, 10:38
      - *jaw drops* -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 10:29
      - Couldn't be more wrong. Her's is the *spoiler* - Remlik Jun 26, 10:19 22
        
        She was terrible, I hated her and that's a lost season due to her presence. -- nm - David Jun 26, 10:24 4
        
        again, couldn't be more wrong. The season 2 part finale is *stellar* - Remlik Jun 26, 10:33 2
        
        She was terrible, her episodes sucked and I counted down the moments until she was replaced. - David Jun 26, 10:37
        
        *spoils* - TWuG Jun 26, 10:35
        
        her and Tennant had some fantastically funny scenes. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 10:31
        
        Spoils - TWuG Jun 26, 10:22 16
        
        I'll grant you... - Remlik Jun 26, 10:35
        
        she was one of the only companions who - loosilu Jun 26, 10:30
        
        she's hit or miss, I'll give you that, but Martha is just *bad*. -- nm - znufrii Jun 26, 10:24 13
        
        I liked Martha but hated all her stories. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 10:31 8
        
        "Blink" is with Martha -- nm - amoxy Jun 26, 10:35 7
        
        and the John Smith stories as well. -- nm - Remlik Jun 26, 10:38 5
        
        unwatchable. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 10:39 4
        
        disagree - znufrii Jun 26, 10:41 1
        
        I really, really hate that arc. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 10:42
        
        Those are 2 of my favourite episodes. -- nm - LMS Jun 26, 10:40 1
        
        I will try to be friends with you anyway. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 10:41
        
        barely, thank god. -- nm - znufrii Jun 26, 10:35
        
        Yeah, I'm ignoring you because you have been taking something that has twisted your mind. - TWuG Jun 26, 10:26 2
        
        that would be all fine and dandy if I could stand Freema Agyeman's acting... - znufrii Jun 26, 10:32 1
        
        *throws up hands, walks away* -- nm - TWuG Jun 26, 10:33
        
        She's everything a companion should be. -- nm - David Jun 26, 10:25
- a 14 year old I know made me swear I'd watch to current this summer. a couple episodes have been *great* but I'm kind of stuck - amanda Jun 26, 10:11 13
  - yeah, some of the Tennant episodes can be a bit of a slog. - znufrii Jun 26, 10:14 11
    - that's Davies' fault, not Tennant. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 10:32 1
      - fair enough. -- nm - znufrii Jun 26, 10:32
    - two so far have been just incredible. father's day and the girl in the fireplace. -- nm - amanda Jun 26, 10:16 8
      - Fireplace is a Moffet (the writer) episode. Wait till you hit Blink -- nm - Remlik Jun 26, 10:17 7
        
        the first River Song eps are pretty great. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 10:32 3
        
        yeah The Silence in the Library are great. Those are after Blink aren't they? -- nm - Remlik Jun 26, 10:36 2
        
        those eps are fun to rewatch now. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 10:39
        
        yup. -- nm - znufrii Jun 26, 10:38
        
        yup. -- nm - znufrii Jun 26, 10:19
        
        Seriously. That's the first bit of entertainment (movie, TV, book) to seriously creep me out since I was a kid. -- nm - TWuG Jun 26, 10:19
        
        maybe next weekend. -- nm - amanda Jun 26, 10:18
  - he's right -- nm - Remlik Jun 26, 10:12
- are there giant albino flamespitting spiders in it? -- nm - Beaker Jun 26, 10:11 1
  - No. Alien infested elderly villages and some sort of machines that yells "Exterminate" repeatedly -- nm - oblique Jun 26, 10:12
- It's all about the triumph if intellect and romance over brute force and cynicism. - znufrii Jun 26, 10:10 9
  - so science fiction then... -- nm - Beaker Jun 26, 10:11
  - Nice. :-) -- nm - TWuG Jun 26, 10:11
  - It would probably help if they didn't start watching season 5 first - oblique Jun 26, 10:11 6
    - yeah. for you start with the Eccelston season. -- nm - Remlik Jun 26, 10:12 5
      - Aren't they called "Series?" -- nm - con_carne Jun 26, 10:13 4
        
        And then call a trunk a boot. Doesn't mean we have to! -- nm - Reagen Jun 26, 10:20 2
        
        My main concern is that STers find what they're looking for when doing a search for this brilliant show :) -- nm - con_carne Jun 26, 10:22 1
        
        Fair enough. Start with Series One and work your way forward. Don't forget the 3 Tennant movies and all the Christmas specials. -- nm - TWuG Jun 26, 10:28
        
        sure over in England. just habit that I call it season. -- nm - Remlik Jun 26, 10:19
- It's British. - nubby Jun 26, 10:09
they mostly come out at night ... mostly -- nm - lir - for Pixie Jun 26, 10:07 4
- "LET'S ROOOCCCKKKK!" - oblique Jun 26, 10:09 3
  - We're in the pipe, 5 by 5 -- nm - JenBro Jun 26, 10:12 2
    - I think someone should do the "scene by scene" YouTube thing for Aliens like they did for Star Wars. That would be funny -- nm - oblique Jun 26, 10:13 1
      - I *heart* the bunny version of Alien - wish they'd do Aliens -- (link) - JenBro Jun 26, 10:17
(LIR: S5 was pretty good, though) -- nm - con_carne Jun 26, 10:06
Huh. A colleague and acquaintance wrote a book and NPR is doing a story on it/him for Weekend Edition. -- nm - nubby Jun 26, 10:04
anyone who knows wrestling, knows Harley Race had the best faceplant ever. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 26, 10:03
Had a bizarre dream last night about my tenants - ceregon Jun 26, 10:03 8
- I almost admire you for admitting this. -- nm - Spawn Jun 26, 10:16
- I had a dream last night that my friends and I were babysitting a small "big cat" (ocelot? too much archer?) - amanda Jun 26, 10:10 1
  - In my dream last night, in the morning I had breakfast with Steven Spielberg and Julia Roberts, then headed to a filmsite with a screenwriter, and - Max Jun 26, 10:34
- dude. Slave owners don't drink sweet tea. you should be drinking a mint julep -- nm - oblique Jun 26, 10:06 2
  - and they wear seersucker and have lace ties, amiright? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 26, 10:18
  - served in a dead slave's skull. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 26, 10:07
- was this before or after the Sex Dungeon part? -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 26, 10:04 1
  - Maybe the plantation has a sex dungeon, but I was only on the porch. -- nm - ceregon Jun 26, 10:05
one step forward, ten steps back -- (link) - znufrii Jun 26, 10:02
Robocop isn't *not* a comedy. -- nm - Reagen Jun 26, 10:00 7
- Red Foreman makes a great villain -- nm - Beaker Jun 26, 10:18 1
  - he totally does -- nm - Epiphany Jun 26, 10:28
- It's definitely intended to be funny in places, but it's more satire than straight comedy. -- nm - TWuG Jun 26, 10:15
- BITCHES LEAVE!!!! nm -- nm - groiny Jun 26, 10:02 3
  - love that bit in XXX -- nm - Remlik Jun 26, 10:11
  - I'll buy that for a dollar! - oblique Jun 26, 10:05 1
    - I WORK FOR DICK JONES!!!!! - groiny Jun 26, 10:06
FYITWAP -- nm - nubby Jun 26, 10:00 1
- IDGAFITWAP -- nm - Strongbad Jun 26, 10:01
BOOM!!!!! -- nm - Jim Jun 26, 09:59
boom -- nm - znufrii Jun 26, 09:59 2
- dammit -- nm - Jim Jun 26, 09:59 1
