Went for the Europop act, those dudes had some fucking bangers in their career.

Author Hank Bordowitz called "Captain Jack" "as bleak a portrait of growing up in the affluent suburbs as anything before L.A. punk hit nearly a decade later".[5]

― Dom Passantino, Monday, 22 October 2007 12:40 (nineteen years ago)

I went with heroin. Gotta stick to the Method.

A friend's boyfriend will frequently launch into a rant about how punk rock Billy Joel is. I don't know if he's cited this to back up his claim or not but I'll have to let him know.

― joygoat, Monday, 22 October 2007 14:32 (nineteen years ago)

The Modoc guy sounds pretty cool too.

― Noodle Vague, Monday, 22 October 2007 14:36 (nineteen years ago)

Wait, is the Europop one listed here the people who did the "all the hoochie mamas put ya hands up" thing?

― Jon Lewis, Monday, 22 October 2007 15:06 (nineteen years ago)

I have yet to destroy Billy Joel...someday, though, Mr. Joel....

lol Torchwood

― HI DERE, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 00:08 (nineteen years ago)

he was more fun on dr. who when he was more of a poor man's brendan fraser.

BBCA has become my "last channel" fix for the NFL season.

― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 00:19 (nineteen years ago)

i got really into torchwood

― rrrobyn, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 00:24 (nineteen years ago)

Torchwood is good but not because of Captain Jack; really in spite of him.

Tosh = my TV girlfriend btw

― HI DERE, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 00:25 (nineteen years ago)

That one...I think season finale of last Dr. Who, he's all DIRTY and chained up in a moodily lit steamy deck, and they're all tryin'a destroy him and then they discover he can't die, god, that is almost camp it's so homoerotic. So: awesome.

― Abbott, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 00:26 (nineteen years ago)

You should read Russell T. Davies' Doctor Who book Damaged Goods, where he has the Doctor's male companion (a by-the-book police officer from the 30th century) decide to fuck one of the guys he meets IN THE MIDDLE OF A STAKEOUT. This exchange of fluids later leads to a cure for AIDS.

I am not making this up.

― HI DERE, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 00:29 (nineteen years ago)

^^^ I can guarantee this

― Autumn Almanac, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 00:32 (nineteen years ago)

OMG WANT! The Master pushing him around all sassy singing "I don't know whether to kiss you or kill you" (IIRC) was charged w/the same dom silliness but less beefcake.

― Abbott, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 00:34 (nineteen years ago)

I want to read this book upon which all 30th century policemen are based.

― Abbott, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 00:34 (nineteen years ago)

whoever that evil bodysnatcher was that loved up toshiko last week and was handing out mind-reading pendants, I would hit that

― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 00:35 (nineteen years ago)

david tennant is not as fun as eccleston and rose is wearing thin though

― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 00:35 (nineteen years ago)

Hold on for season 3, Tom! Tennant gets much much better and Martha >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Rose.

Also, "Blink"!

― HI DERE, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 00:36 (nineteen years ago)

("42" is also awesome.)

― HI DERE, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 00:37 (nineteen years ago)

Also, "Blink"!

Best Doctor Who episode in history. I am having apoplexy just thinking about it.

― Autumn Almanac, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 00:39 (nineteen years ago)

i'm not gonna make that claim but yes blink was scary and really great

― rrrobyn, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 00:41 (nineteen years ago)

All right, Genesis of the Daleks then. But Blink has universal appeal. You can sit a sci-fi neophyte in front of it and they'll enjoy it as much as any nerd.

― Autumn Almanac, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 00:46 (nineteen years ago)

totally
i'm just glad i'm not a kid watching it - talk abt scaring for life

― rrrobyn, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 00:47 (nineteen years ago)

which is obv an important part of childhood though
i mean my 'poltergeist' scaring is prob essential to who i am now

― rrrobyn, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 00:48 (nineteen years ago)

"Blink" is better than "Genesis of the Daleks".

I think the best original-Who story I've seen to date is either "The Mind Robber" or "The Pirate Planet".

― HI DERE, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 01:51 (nineteen years ago)

i love 'the pirate planet'!
(have not seen 'the mind robber')

― rrrobyn, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 01:55 (nineteen years ago)

Mind Robber is a nice idea. A lot of the Troughtony ones were built upon nice ideas.

― Autumn Almanac, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 01:55 (nineteen years ago)

The Pirate Planet is fucking exquisite
I just netflixed that shit like two or three weeks ago

― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 02:55 (nineteen years ago)

you guys Doctor Who episodes including Pirate Planet are available on Netflix instant watch.

― jessie monster, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 03:08 (nineteen years ago)

I totally watched half of it really drunk the other week.

― jessie monster, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 03:08 (nineteen years ago)

ok wait there is netflix Instant Watch? like instant?

― rrrobyn, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 03:09 (nineteen years ago)

Not on Macs tho. :( At least last time I checked. What a crippling disease this thing can be.

― Abbott, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 03:10 (nineteen years ago)

yes! you need windows, tho. you get 1 hour for every dollar you pay per month. it rules! xp.

I installed windows on my mac purely for instant watch, the gre study software, and the two days I was thinking about buying guild wars.

― jessie monster, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 03:11 (nineteen years ago)

eesh
i have pc also but the mac is taking over
i bet it's not in canada either

― rrrobyn, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 03:11 (nineteen years ago)

the Mac's circa...'01 or '02 or maybe even '03 but still no-go-diggy-die w/the Windows. Oil well.

― Abbott, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 03:12 (nineteen years ago)

if you lived anywhere near me you could totally come watch instant watch at my house, abbott.

― jessie monster, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 03:13 (nineteen years ago)

Aw well thx. ^_^

The man has a windows BUT e also practically has his laptop growing out of him ala the gun in Videodrome. I mean, I would feel bad asking for two hours to watch "The Wiz" or whatever while he could be making very important photoshops.

― Abbott, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 03:15 (nineteen years ago)

My other half calls it 'the appendage'

― Autumn Almanac, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 03:23 (nineteen years ago)

The Key to Time is probably my all-around favorite season of Doctor Who, with the preceeding Leela season and the final Davison season tied for a close second.

― HI DERE, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 14:06 (nineteen years ago)

Season 21 a very good one, yes, but does contain The Twin Dilemma.

Season 5 might well be my favourite (mid-Pat with Tomb, the two Yeti stories, first Ice Warriors, Enemy of the World, Fury and the first Zoe). Other good ones are Season 6 (all Zoe, Invasion, War Games, Mind Robber), Season 7 (Liz Shaw), Season 10 (final Jo) and Season 13/14 (Hinchcliffe and Holmes Go Mental).

― aldo, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 14:29 (nineteen years ago)

Key to Time for me. I also (impossibly) loved the whole Trial business.
