I'm a geek. No doubt about it. So, I've just finished watching the first half of Doctor Who's Series 6 for about the 100th time. Anyway, in the first episode The Impossible Astronaut in the middle of Utah, there is a diner that has a LSU football helmet. I just caught it for the first time and all I could wonder was how did it get there? Pretty sad when they can even make it into something like Doctor Who.
I saw that as well. Kind of sad.Quote:

It was tolerable to drink, but the before brew odor is more than I can take.
I love Mellow Joy. You must have gotten a bad bag.Quote:

saw ex-Tech player Houston Tuminello on E60 tonight. One of his high school friend's dad (who was the coach at Canton) got shot on the job. Good story
LSU about spoils everything...Quote:

You really need to hurry and watch it - it only takes 6 hours, give or take a few minutes. The second half of the series 6 starts in 18 days!:banana:

I don't know if John Wayne really said this, but I like it...
Life isn't like a bowl of cherries or peaches it's more like a jar of Jalapenos-what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow..
the angels DO kill in season 5, but that's not what makes them creepy. and the concept is cool enough to make physics nerds endure all of the impossible self-reference loops designed to make them cringe.Quote:

There is a lot of debate among all Whovians about the Angels vs. Silence thing. Both would scare the hell out of me if they were real, so I really hold them on equal footing.
The Daleks should be returning, either as the "super" (rainbow) daleks or "traditional" daleks, for the 50th anniversary next series (I'm guessing). Moffat said he wanted to give them a rest because they have had their rear kicked a number of times since the rebooted series started:
Series 1
Dalek - one self-destruct
The Parting of Ways - all killed by Rose
Series 2
Doomsday - all sucked into the void except 1
Series 3
Evolution of the Daleks - 3 killed, 1 escape
Series 4
Journey's End - all killed by the human Doctor
Series 5
Victory of the Daleks - inferior ones killed, "super" (rainbow) Daleks leave
The Big Bang - one is restored because of the Pandorica's light, then killed by River Song
Essentially, you can cause the mass genocide of the Daleks so many times before it just gets old and boring. But, it would absolutely stupid to not include them in the 50th anniversary.
I've never seen a single episode of this show. What's the general story?

The Doctor and companion(s) basically go all through different periods of time to save worlds, civilizations, people (sometimes themselves), defeat enemies, and just go on really awesome adventures. I've likened it to Back To The Future meets Terminator meets Star Trek. The most recent reboot is funny as hell, great dialogue, normally spectacular writing, mostly good acting, sometimes scary, sometimes sad, and always thought-provoking.
Do a google image search for Karen Gillan, or Amy Pond (her character in the show). Only reason you really need to start watching.
