Okay, let me reiterate. No cable, no DirectTV, no uberDVD player, no DVD-Rs, no piles of cash just waiting to be spent on DVD sets. Sorry, but the first few hundred bucks that magically pop out of thin air are going to Trek and Stargate sets, not DW.

As for bittorrent, no cable Internet and a few scruples. I sort of follow the idea of "if you can obtain it legally, don't take it for nothing. If you can't obtain it legally, then maybe you can download it." Still stinks, though, because the thing that I really want that I'll never get is Keen 6. The owners of the copyright (not Apogee et al) went belly-up, so you can only get it through the uberrare iD Anthology set. It's still floating around eBay and such, so it's still obtainable "legally," so no one's ripped it yet. A shame.

The Doctor is the Doctor is the Doctor, though he's also the guy with two hearts.

I'm not surpised by the poll. I personally wouldn't list Tennant as my favourite Doctor, because I couldn't now list any of them as my favourite. I just like the whole of the character too much to choose only one facet of it as being the best in my eyes.

I'd recommend, Zeke (and anyone else who is interested) in keeping an eye out for the tie-in novels. There are plenty that are worth reading, and certainly no shortage to choose from - there are more than a hundred that have been published by the BBC so far, and I know there are at least fifty or sixty of the Virgin novels as well (though they're all at least a decade out of print now, and harder to come by).
