HER NAME WAS ROSE: As usual,
Alan Sepinwall and I are on the same page with respect to Doctor Who, which like Sci-Fi's other current flagship,
Battlestar Galactica, takes something rather cheesy from long ago which had a cult following, and manages to reinvent it (though
Who's political undertones are less present than
BSG's). I missed the Series 2 finale due to TiVo issues, but moments from Series 1 still stick (in particular, Christopher Eccleston's joyous "Just this once, everybody lives!" at the end of
The Doctor Dances and his final "You were spectacular, and you know what? So was I.") However, because Alan apparently watched on screener, he missed important commercial information--Sci-Fi's upcoming
Flash Gordon series is at least being promoted with
Queen's immortal theme song.
