Attention! If you've been planning on catching (or rewatching) the next episode of Doctor Who in it's second time slot-note that SciFi has changed the time of it's repeat to 10pm EDT. Last week it was changed from 12am to 11pm-I found out 10 minutes to 12. Blah!

SciFi has been featuring clips from the season 2 dvd extras in their video section Better catch them while you can! Many are available for a limited time only.

Fun stuff: The Italian Job, Doctor Who style. Click on it-you know you want to! ;)

Torchwood
Although the BBC's official site is somewhat limited to non-UK viewers, www.torchwood.org.uk is a pretty cool site. You'll need Flash, and probably some patience (it took a while for it to load on my computer at work). Have fun navigating through it! There's some interesting stuff hidden in there.

I've seen quite a few different reactions for the new show-some people love it, some people hate it. In any case, the Beeb is quite pleased with it's performance after only two episodes.

From what I understand, it's probably a good idea to see the entire second series of Doctor Who before starting into Torchwood, as there are many references to Who in the new show.

Did Capt. Jack Cuss?

TAFN, happy Who watching!!!
