That's an o-o-o-o-old story. :p

I chose the 'standard feat advancement, no variations' option, but that's not entirely correct. I play in 5 different D&D campaigns currently, run by 5 different GMs. Two of them have standard feat advancement, no variations. Two of them have standard feat advancement with a minor variation...

They have these things called video rental stores, you know? It would be more than worth the money to see it in its entirety, with no commercial interruptions. ;)

They've already hinted that he must have done something 'god-like' to end the Time War. And he was certainly leaning in that direction at the conclusion of 'The Runaway Bride'. I think RTD and company are just ramping up the power level. After all, the Doctor is a Time Lord, now the only one...

I'm just hoping the Doctor's new companion isn't Kylie Minogue...

I'm re-reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, preparatory to the release of The Deathly Hallows.

I don't, but my fiancee found it somewhere and has the info. He downloaded the "drums" song from The Sound of Drums, too. I'm with Mouseferatu on the countdown - I had the impression it was being nationally televised. Either that or Martha knew somehow exactly when it was going to occur so she...

I agree. I think it will be interesting to see what happens there, as she and Jack have now forged a bond through their shared experience. I'm expecting some jealousy from the rest of the Torchwood crew. And I'll be looking forward to seeing if Jack gets some of his morality back after what just...

I thought it was an awesome episode, very compelling. I didn't even notice the lack of wrap-up regarding the death of President Winters. I don't really care that they don't tie up every loose end. Perhaps they'll mention that later, perhaps not. The US doesn't figure much in Doctor Who anyway...

Letter #42 The djinn announced himself as the Khan Shazar and began recounting his lineage in a pompous tone. I'm afraid I don't recall any of it. Thor kept chirping at him as he spoke, until he glared at the giant eagle and Thor suddenly fell silent. Shazar then announced that Pheretima is his...

The City of Brass One of my companions had asked the illusory efreet if anything geniune might be found here, meaning where the efreet stood, to which the image replied, "No, not here." It was then that we heard the cry from behind us. The shout resembled a war cry. I turned to see that several...

This is a good idea. It might also be good to make it more obvious in other ways. Those with CS accounts can have custom user titles, but not all of them do. That doesn't make it readily apparent to newcomers that the CS accounts are available. Perhaps CS users should get some kind of special...

Well the Doctor does remark at one point that humans keep coming back to their original physical form, so perhaps human culture and technology keep restarting and evolving all over again. At least that's the impression they've given me based on the other episodes set in the distant future.

Others have already said these things, but these were my first thoughts on seeing the thread title: Inherits it from an ancestor. Finds it buried on his land or lying in the bottom of a pond. Is given it as a gift or barter, by someone who doesn't know what it is. Finds it in the stomach of...

This pretty much agrees with my opinion. It really felt like a cheap way to go out without significantly altering anything, so they can start cranking out the tv-movies. And the removal of the Asgard sounded like a lazy writer's way to get rid of an overly powerful ally. It should have been much...

You said everything I've been thinking. :D I'm just loving it that while trying to please the old guard fans they're introducing new things. They're not trying to sway the show to one audience or the other. For me that's a good thing. It's enabled my fiancee and I to get several friends of...

That's the whole point! ;-P I adore this show. I thought it was pretty amusing that they were going to face the Spider Queen, too - although rather than Lolth I was reminded of the Raknos Queen from Doctor Who. It looks like there will be a fair amount of Spider-Man parody thrown in there. I...

I've always thought that the Doctor, being someone who likes surprises and generally dislikes predictability, has deliberately eschewed his potential ability to exercise more control over his regenerative ability. And, as has been pointed out, he's usually not regenerating under the best of...

Since the Doctor has always hesitated to actually destroy the Master, why would he change his mind if the Time Lords return? I liked everything about this episode. I thought it was clever how RTD made the audience think the Doctor and friends were in a terrible pickle at the end of 'Utopia'...

Letter #41 It's difficult to tell time here without shadows to judge the hours by, but I believe we'd only been traveling with the air whale for a few hours when we were attacked. When we spotted the dark shape ahead I was apprehensive, but it wasn't until I realized it was a huge flock of...
