Good find, Squiggly. Will have to give that a listen

Also, BDA, I love "Hey Ya" for reasons really unexplainable here but that took me back to college days and hanging out with friends. Also, the music video is incredibly complicated and hilarious.

Personally, I've always preferred the 9th Doctor and wish Eccelston had gotten a longer run, than just regenerating in to Tenant.

Besides, technically it is the "first series, second series" from the reboot and Davies' starting to run it.

Speaking of "Fear Her" SFDebris just did is review of that episode and it is appropriately scathing:

Don't know why, but this made me think of Pearls Before Swine's Super Crocs:

Referenced in Grab Bag 3: Grabbing with a Vengeance, I now recommend Prince of Persia.

Also, said it before, but I'll say it again, Species. I want to hear Trey talk on that one

An interesting aspect of the Star Wars mythos is the changing of the story as Lucas created it. Obviously, the prequels suffered from lack of a cohesive story or any characters that we cared about.

Two things come to my mind as we consider something different. First, how do you create a story similar to SW without it being "STAR WARS?" I mean, lightsabers have become as icongraphic with SW as Darth Vader.

Secondly, I've read older SW materials that predate the PT and explain the fall of the Republic, Palpatine's rise, the Rebel Alliance back story, etc. I think the best descriptor I ever read of the Republic is to relate it to the fall of the Roman Empire. That moral corruption and decay had become the "coin of the realm" so to speak, and the Jedi become further removed due to corruption. Palpatine steps up because he was basically assumed to be naive and easily manipulated by the politicians without being too well known by the media. However, Palpatine played them and manipulated them back.

So, how much EU material that came before the PT is relevant to this discussion?

I'm doing a podcast to address it

My friend and my wife were all watching it and I kept joking about Liam's voice and how he always sounds angry, with maybe Qui-Gon and Aslan being couple of exceptions.

First of all, you do a great job, Teague! I agree with Tom that you downplay your own talents when you really are very talented. I'm glad you got this opportunity and thank you for sharing with us.

Secondly, ow...I mean, really, ow.

Finally, you'll be great, Teague!

Well, stumbled upon this movie on TV and will have to get to see it again.

I am generally a fan of psychological thrillers with a twist and this one definitely delivers. If you can't tell from the poster, it's Liam Nesson, who I am a fan of by reputation alone, and Diane Kruger, who is wonderful actress and works very well since the film takes place in Germany.

It starts off as a man and wife on a trip to Berlin for a scientific conference. The man gets in a car accident, and is in a coma for a couple of days. Waking up, he tries to find his wife, only to find another man claiming to be him. With no ID or anything else, no one believes him and so he sets off to figure it out. Along the way, he tries to find the cabbie from the accident who actually pulled him from the car.

The great part is that it twists several time, and when you think you have figured out, it twists again. Highly recommend it.

Yeah, I think "Inquisition" one of the first Section 31 episodes, is in season 6. Get on the stick!
