A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

I ALWAYS THOUGHT THE TEACHERS LIVED IN THE SCHOOL: While Battlestar Galactica is getting all the praise, the other half of "Sci-Fridays," Doctor Who, was top-notch this week, featuring high school students being forced by bat-like aliens (led by Rupert Giles!) to crack the secrets to god-like power, apparent continuity porn for those who've been watching the show since the 60s that paid off for new viewers like me as well (the Sarah Jane plotline), robo-dogs, and chips (the British kind, not the computer kind) that make you smarter. I still miss Christopher Eccelston's gleefully mad Doctor, but David Tennant is a servicable replacement, and Billie Piper is certainly making a far better singing to acting transition than, say, Jessica Simpson.
