Also love that 'London' is subtitled 'Londinivm', presumably to help any time-travelled Romans who came through the Cardiff rift

And, as you mentioned - "That's what people DO!" was just woah. Startled me quite a bit.

Beware of these words! Every time some one says (eg on the news) 'People have died' I feel this incredible urge to quote this reposte. And adapted versions for '..have died' or 'People have...',  which is not always appropriate.
Perhaps I watched this scene slightly too many times?

Meanwhile back at the Ordering of Episodes, here are mine, despite protestations from the librarians in my brain that there are several equally valid but different (oh,except for last place) ways of defining favourite and therefore episode order.

1. Pilot version of SIP
2. Fall and Hounds
4. The Woman
5. Official version of SIP
6. The Pool but also what came before that
7.  Pass the cliche-bag please, Banker

This is based on how I feel during/after watching/recalling the episodes and not necessarily on the many rational/consciously percieved values that these episodes have. I find suffering such as injustice/grief but particularly people very distressed as they're going to be blown up by baddies, extremely hard to watch and hear at some deep emotional level and basically have to fast forward through these bits or feel awful for days. Weird because in emergencies and so forth I am very calm, and can often do things that other people are squeamish about (pick up spiders et al).

1. I didn't see The Pilot version of SIP for ages as I was so grateful at having the actual episodes I completely didn't look for anything else on the disks. Then I did and OMG, it felt so life-like, internally consistent and convincing, I couldn't watch any of the real episodes for over a week! I've only ever watched it twice so as not to remind myself. I accept the decision from TPTB that it had to be done differently. Its their job to know what's going to work.

7. m0r has said everything I could possibly say to justify my decision about this position for this episode and far more su

Definitely
Mmm, yummy continental chocolate.
Yep, I'm here, poised for some serious (and not so serious) Sherlockage.

Looking forward to spending some of the time we have to kill between now and series 3 in your company. (Apparently I am now 'staff' which is nice. Lol) Would you like a cup of tea and a mince pie?

Ditto, and congrats on the promotion!

Tea? So kind.

THough actually I'll pass on the mince pie right now, thanks, cos I'm rather full of chocolate. :$

(Edited because my fingers can't spell)

Thanks, m0r, and enjoying the ease with which we can all converse across the miles

thanks and 'G'day' (it must be?) Kazza474... sounds a good plan indeed.
All the hard work of avoiding reading about it definitely paid off though. wipes away tear

So glad to find this forum! I've really enjoyed reading the different views and ideas about these amazing programmes and would like to join in too ...

About me: I'm a Brit but have lived and worked in the US for years now but lived and worked in London for quite a few years before that. Jobwise:  I know one end of a microscope from the other (but don't keep thumbs in my fridge).

I like a lot of things about living here but I still miss the UK a lot. Thank goodness for DVDs, and cheers, PBS, for enabling me to watch series 2. =)

Am still getting over the shock of seeing TRF yesterday evening. I'd managed to keep myself pretty much spoiler-free.

(Still taking a while to remember out how to post properly, etc etc so please bear with me).
