Why would Brother Theo be pushing 60? I don't recall the show ever talking about how old he was, whilst Louis Turenne himself is now pushing 74 and has already suffered one stroke (thus, his inability to reprise his role as Draal). According to IMDB, he has done nothing in TV or film since 1996.

And those differences of perspective are exactly why we are still here talking about the show almost 10 years after it ended.

The whole thing about losing the beacon has no bearing on whether a ship has a jump engine or not it is the basis of navigating in hyperspace ... if you are driving across the desert, you can't just say "This road is boring, I'm going to head out across the sand and find my own way. I'll be OK...

The whole point, as I understand it, is to draw the younger races into fighting against each other, not against the Shadows. I seem to remember in one episode, the Brakiri admitting to going along with making war on their neighbours with the Shadows as allies. The goal is to force conflict so...

Well, as Marcus would have said, if you are going to tell a lie to the people you might as well go for a really satisfying one. :D

Looks like that master list of all the EpDis threads did its job ... :D I seem to remember voting this one as a B. Very hard to give it an A when we in the UK didn't see it until almost the end of season 1. There had already been several episodes much better than it, it suffered from having a...

I was majorly irritated by TIoT when I first saw it, for much the same reasons outlined here by JJ and others. However, not long after that, one of our esteemed media outlets released the result of a survey which showed that only 1 in 6 of the university students (that is, supposedly the clever...

VL, you clearly have too much time on your hands ... :D But thanks. I missed some of these when they were doing the rounds, now I can catch up.

You are clearly less familiar than you should be with Murphy's Law. :D

Some of 24 has, but I am not sure how much. They have certainly not had season 6 yet, and I don't know if they have even had 5. Don't know about BSG. Lost has only recently finished its run of season 3 on Sky One. I imagine that will take a while before it appears on Freeview. To encourage...

And it won't. As I understand it, Sky have moved away from sharing rights to its shows with the terrestrial stations in the UK, so the only place you can see them, either in first run or repeat, is Sky itself. Hence, terrestrial viewers haven't seen seasons 3-6 of 24, any of BSG and probably...

Spoken like a man who hasn't been hit in the unmentionables/head/shin/funny bone by a solid ball bowled at 80mph+. :p

Nah, Ford is younger than that ... :p

Got to agree on the Intermission thing ... the Extended LotR movies are a perfect example. Each movie is split down into two halves over two discs forcing at least some sort of intermission halfway through. Works really well for me. However, I doubt the movie theatres would be so accomodating...

Must be ... massive ratings, huge audience appreciation figures, finally shedding its image as a joke of a show stuck on its 1970s wobbly cardboard sets. On its last legs I reckon. :p

Not enough space to list the sports I put in front of golf. Except the Ryder Cup ... always nice to beat the Americans. :p

I imagine one looped line of dialogue could pretty much be done any time between the end of filming and sending the finished episode to the network for broadcast. Once renewal for season 5 on TNT was confirmed they also managed to loop one line of voiceover for Rising Star to explain Ivanova's...

I never got a reply to my e-mail, but I did get a reply within a few days when I followed that up by snail mail: Warner Home Video 135 Wardour Street London W1V 4AP

True, but the response was certainly news to Recoil ... :p

I was under the impression that Amazon reduced the prices charged on all pre-orders if the price drops before the product is released. :p:p
