    allright but is it a storyline, or is it episodic where if I miss one it won't matter.

    A mixture of both. Usually there's a myth arc that's explored in the finale, but individual episodes can be watched without knowing or caring about it. This is slightly less the case in Matt Smith's time.

    Well, it's an all-ages sci-fi adventure anthology show. What that means in practical terms is that, like watching Twilight Zone or something, the stories are going to vary wildly for you - some will be huge hits and others will be huge misses and others will be something in between, and nobody can really predict for you which will be which or how many of each kind there will be.

    It's got glossy production values (the first season is kind of ropey effects- and production-wise, but it quickly ramps up) and tends to get a lot of fantastic guest stars. The stories are very big on emotion, adrenaline, humor, and character moments and don't bother as much with meticulously working out every detail of the plot - which isn't to say it doesn't have complicated plots sometimes, but it's not fiddly about the details, because being fiddly means slowing things down, and it never slows down. I've noticed this makes a lot of traditional sci-fi watchers really angry. Basically, if you're expecting Battlestar Galactica or Stargate SG-1 or something, don't. This is nothing like that. This is not a show for people who take themselves too seriously to watch our heroes being menaced by killer mannequins or giant flying bugs.

    Daxon if this was intentional? You are brilliant

    If it wasn't you're still brilliant, just slightly less so

    Also I would make a smart remark about 200 hours on a single game

    But my time spent on EQ and WAR is better measured in weeks rather than hours so.... yeah :P

    That's not entirely true though.

    I don't think anyone has admitted to disliking Blink, The Girl in the Mirror etc.

    On a semi related note promode guitar and drums in Rock Band have occasionally made me feel guilty for playing other things. My brain sometimes gets all "Yeah sure this is fun but you could be having fun and actually working on skills you know"

    And then I tell my brain to shut the fuck up and pay more attention to the killing of Geth/opening of portals/destructing of endless seas of giant robots.

    It's time travel is a plot device and merely the road it uses to make everything awesome.

    Time works in direct relation to what the plot demands, and it's really not a show about time travel. It's a show about an immortal time-travelling alien who picks up human friends and goes on adventures with them.

    Ridiculously scary, stupid, hilarious adventures.
