Three show listed. Well, at least I watch all three of them.

Speaking of "Three", I watched "The Power of Three" episode of Doctor Who. Some of the stuff that they're putting in the dialogue is getting silly.

They've been traveling with the Doctor for "10 years" now, on and off? Bad enough that they disappeared for seven weeks on their anniversary (but at least they made it home the same day). A friend of mine was confused about the comment last week about Amy and Rory aging faster than their friends -- I had to explain that there was nothing wrong with them, except that they are living for days or weeks within a single day.

And don't get me started on the doctor's age! He managed to make it to 2010 and be a ripe old 905 or so. Now he's 2000. He more than doubled his age with a line of dialogue. I realize that he's some kind of immortal, but isn't that pushing it a bit? And he's still got a lot of life ahead of him -- he's only encountered River Song as two of his incarnations, so far. She's met more of him.

And on a tangent: my library expanded its collection of old Doctor Who on DVD! Woo hoo! Some have been updated, but I watched the original versions for all their cheesiness, and then watched the bonus material to see what they did.

Okay, enough. I'm rambling.

I just watched that episode. It’s the same thing that happened to “The Walking Dead”, dialogue scenes shot inside are cheap, so you get more cheesy soap opera instead of sci-fi. The Doctor playing wii and soccer ball tricks, Amy bickering with her husband, instead of more time on the alien ship.
And if the little girl was the android and local control thing, what were the two guys with the square holes in their faces?
