    I like that. I'm not exactly sure I understand the difference, but it sounds less passive.
    Omni means "anything goes." Or possibly everything. Male, female, other, human, non, whatever; if it has sex, it's do-able, if you'll pardon the pun.

    And of course, if it doesn't have sex, it can probably be taught a great new... recreational activity.

      Gotcha. Well, I'm glad he's there to cover all the bases.

      It's a nice foil for the Doctor.

        But I do prefer omni.

          Yeah, 'cause sex with pans is just icky.

          The "omni" gives it a nicer ring, IMO.

          As for the ep... that little boything is creeeepy. If I had a sofa to hide behind while watching this ep, I'd probably be camped out there.

          The story itself has some of the goofiness inherent in a lot of Who (or as far as I can tell, anyway) but that doesn't make it any less creepy. And watching that gas mask pop out of the doctor's (lower case) mouth and his eyes expand into plastic (or whatever it was) ovals... *shivers* Great stuff.

            There we go, thats a more suited term
            Equality is not a concept. It's not something we should be striving for. It's a necessity. Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this earth as men and women. And the misogyny that is in every culture is not a true part of the human condition. It is life out of balance, and that imbalance is sucking something out of the soul of every man and woman who is confronted with it.

              As long as I don't see two guys making out (gah!!) i'm fine with it.


              Anyone know how well the ep did here in the states?
              It feels good to be alive.
              Cause i've been dead for so long.

                What's wrong with two guys?

                Not like anyone gets upset over a guy and a girl. Bisexuals and homosexuals are allowed as much fun as heterosexuals.

                  Two guys, two girls. Doesn't matter. It still looks gross and unnatural for me. I'm more of a "how nature intended it" kind of guy.

                    I don't especially like to see m/m snogs either, but then I'm no fonder of m/f snogging on TV either. *kissing* is fine though, however it's done

                      This will no doubt sound horribly mean, but I need to get it off my chest.

                      Rose just seems to only have enough wholesome prettiness to go around. It's like only one end of her can look good at a time. Episodes where her bottom looks amazing (like this one), her face does not look so much. Same was true of the Dalek episode. Nice butt, bad hair, British teeth...egads.

                        Just because animals do it doesn't make it natural. Now..if two male humans could re-produce....

                          Sharing a link to a pic that made me grin. And ya know, I kinda did think of that book during the ep...

                            This episode is now "The Hugo Award Winning episode, The Empty Child."

                            The Empty Child & The Doctor Dances won the Hugo for best Short Form Dramatic presentation. In fact, Doctor Who also took spots 2 and 3 for Dalek and Father's Day respectively. This has them beating out Battlestar Galactica's The Pegasus.

                            Serenity won for Long Form.

                              The beginning of the 2nd of three 2-parters in the series.

                              It was scary that just a simple phrase 'I want my mommy' sent my spine chilling. Great episode.
