He's had a yo-yo, and other alien things, like a (let me see if I remember this) a Eupheric Beam Locator.

He ate them all ... greedy pig.

I feel silly for actually taking the time to respond to all the flaws in that comment, but I'll do it anyway.

1) So there's only one bag of jelly babies in the entire universe now, and the Master stole and ate the last of them?

2) What possible indication is there in Last of the Time Lords that the bag of jelly babies the Master was eating from was even the Doctor's to begin with?

Let's make this a collaborative thing, people -- pick apart that comment even more if you can.

That's called looting, y'know.

I prefer to call it "reparations."

Excellent, very excellent. I dare say one of the best episodes so far for the new series. And I am hoping the next episode will be quite good as well.

This weekends looks like it's going to be a good one. I just wonder what reason the Ood have are getting scary and aggressive this time is. I wonder if before they were slaves they were a violent or evil sort of race. Similar to Vulcans before they embraced logic for example.

Do any Brits know when FOP is repeated? I missed it and the last repeat, d'oh!

Ben Dawson · #49 April 15, 2008, 10:29 AM

Two words mate, "BBC iPlayer".

Chris Britton · #50 April 15, 2008, 11:37 AM

Usually BBC 3 tend to do repeats as well, i can't remember exactly when though.

Ben Dawson · #51 April 15, 2008, 12:15 PM

Sundays and Fridays. Normally about 8ish if I remember correctly.

Superkid11 · #52 April 15, 2008, 12:24 PM

Or you could just download it.

Sorry about the thread derailment, but-

The Universe explodes.

Or worse. They fuse. Into KenBoBo. The thing that eats LHWs, drinks Power Cosmic and craps out Ultimate Force while listening to LORDI. SIMULTANEOUSLY.

1. Is that Ken from Street Fighter?

2. Who or what is Musuo Tensei?

3. Who's Bobobo?

4. What's an LHW?

5. What's Power Cosmic?

6. What's Ultimate Force?

7. How does this all tie together to be funny?

Sorry, I don't understand.

Without understanding any more than you, I found it funny simply due to its sheer randomness.

Superkid11 · #55 April 15, 2008, 1:14 PM

Ken is Kenshiro, a protagonist from a manga called Fist of the North Star.(which pretty much layed the foundation for things like DBZ)
Bobobo is the protagonist of another manga which is a warped parody of Fist of the North Star. It is severely random and WTFish, while Fist is usually serious.

Dunno what that other stuff is.

Isn't Ultimate Force that Ross Kemp drama with him playing a hard, skinhead SAS leader?

1) No but maybe if there have been no un-seen adventures in between the episode then hes been to busy saving the world from fat and stuff.

2) NO comment

It was just a silly post. Let it collect dust and be forgotten.

Have you ever seen Little Britain?

Well, I'm sure it wasn't good in a canocial sense, but it was certainly good as pure entertainment
