Love and Monsters is an episode which really divides opinion, I think there are few people who think, oh it's okay or it may just be that it provokes those who love or hate it to comment unlike some other episodes.
I'll pimp The Wilderlands of High Fantasy, versatile setting with masses of adventure hooks and scope to play all sorts of campaigns. See mine and the other reviews for more detail of why I like it.

Very occasional in genuine accidents like misjudging the effects and area of a spell or where somebody fails a save they'd normally make, e.g. the Rogue rolls to make a reflex save and gets a one, takes full damage and goes below -10.
I really prefer 1st, but I'm open to starting a little higher so that characters are harder to kill and can be more fleshed out in terms of the system.
Would it really be D&D anymore? Not to me I think. To be honest I don't really care if a 4e comes out as I don't need it and I've got plenty of 3e and C&C material to work with.

Three core books and that's it. If I had some spare cash I'd buy the DMGII, but I'm not keen on splatbooks and thirdparty publishers meet my requirements for adventures and stuff better.

When the waitress reaches him, Beregost orders an ale before heading over to where Kraven and Ironskulls sit. "Hail fellow travellers, what brings you to this place".
I enjoyed the few I saw. I liked the contrast between the '70s cops acting like they were on the Sweeney and the modern day approach to policing by the lead character.
More of a top 10 than most important.
