Tonight's episode of Dr Who had some interesting hedges.

Gah. I wish there was a station over here that still showed Dr Who. Sci-Fi channel used to carry it (behind schedule and trimmed for time, but still), but since their business model for the last decade has been "kill anything viewers actually like to make room for more Ghost Hunters and wrestling" it just had to go.

That's a subject for a different thread though. Carry on.

Try BBC America Dr Who is on two or three nights a week.

Agreed on the hedges - pity the episode was deathly dull!

Not the best, but the faceless medical droids could be quite useful for SF game encounters.

Interesting discussion, thanks to all for joining in. I've just turned my brain on and crept to the bookshelf to check my Roger Dean books.

Roger Dean is fantastic. Shame about some of the music contained within those covers though.

Thanks. Unfortunately the local cable company doesn't carry BBC America on any of their packages. I get my DW on disc via Netflix these days. Which is a pretty good way to watch, except it generally keeps me six moths behind so I can't partake of any of the web discussions.

Oh, ah, I'm a big fan of Michael Whelan's surreal-ish fantasy landscapes:

People seem to fixate on his dragons to the exclusion of his other stuff, which IMO is a shame as the dragons are actually the least of his awesomeness.
