    In fact if the Adipose would have just talked to use I am sure that we could have worked out an agreement where they agree not to kill us and we let them use our excess body fat. We could reach a state of equilibrium where all human would have a healthy amount of body fat in them and they would have a steady stream of newborns to populate with. Since you have to take a pill to be a part of the program it wouldn't be mandatory but I think out relationship with that species could have been quite symbiotic.

    oh i definitely agree. save for the nanny (what was her name? i forget) who was a little crazy with her sonic pen and minions killing people who questioned it, the adipose and the human race could have gotten along quite well, especially with those of us in the states.

    anyone remember the names of the planets that were stolen in "The Stolen Earth" and "Journey's End"? i think the adipose planet was one...

    Oh, almost forgot ......

    Let's see if I have this right ........ the names of the last four Daleks (part 1 ..... Daleks in Manhattan .... part 2 .....Evolution of the Daleks) are Dalek Caan, Dalek Sec, Dalek Jast and Dalek Thay ...... Sec sacrifices himself to save the Doctor, Jast & Thay get destroyed, and Caan escapes through some temporal time thingie.

    The only ones I remember are Adipose 3, Pyrovillia, The Lost Moon of Poosh, Clom, and of course, Earth.

    He grinned as Donna slowly opened the Tardis doors. He ran around the console grabbing his coat on the way and chucking it on, his converses slapping on the Tardis floor.

    Immediately Donna was bathed in a deep purple glow, she stood in the doorway open-mouthed. The Doctor joined her at the door and together they gazed out across the new world before them. The sky was a deep purple with clouds of a dark grey that seemed to sparkle with every passing ray of light. Donna took a tentative step out of the Tardis and on to this new ground, in a new and wonderful world, to discover it was completely clear, like a shining crystal clear. The landscape looked as if it had been cut out of a diamond. It was quite unnerving actually, thought Donna not really knowing where to put her feet. In the far distance a huge mountain range loomed reflected against the purple sky, the mountains were huge and imposing but had a terrible lonely beauty about them, remind you of anyone?, Donna mused to herself. She looked down at the ground to find her face looking back, but warped and jagged like the reflection in a cracked mirror, she felt as though she was looking at herself but only seeing herself for the very first time in her life. The feeling mad her shudder. The Doctor, who had also been somewhat captivated by the landscape, was roused at her side. He stepped out of the Tardis in front of her and spread his arms wide, that big stupid grin plastered across his face, he turned to face her.

    "Welcome Donna Noble to the planet Pyrovillia."

    He went on. "It's the second planet in the Krata Constellation, under the peaceful control of the Shadow Proclamation, home to the busiest markets and trade centres in the universe. Whole galaxies do their trading here. Just imagine an outer space Grand Bizarre and you've pretty much got it."


    Couldn't remember where I'd heard PYROVILLIA before ....... so looked it up & it sounded so beautiful I decided to copy & paste ...... honestly, I miss that Doctor ...... and Donna was pretty cool too :heart:

    Speaking of missing THAT Doctor, funny story: went to our local Rennaisance Faire yesterday. My girls wore peasant dresses that had felt embroidered TARDISes (TARDI?) on them. My oldest went to the booth where you throw rotten tomatoes at the guy's face. He kept calling her "tiny TARDIS". He yelled "Hey, Tiny TARDIS! Do me a favor and go back in time and bring back David Tennant, because Matt Smith Sucks! And while you're at it, bring back Donna Noble!" DH and I both had our DW tshirts on, so he called us the Doctor Who family. We were pretty amused. :wink:

    Trivia Question:

    In light of the recent Time Magazine cover ( http://www.time.com/time/covers/0,16641,20130819,00.html )


    Why were the bees disappearing?
  • soldier4242
    soldier4242 Posts: 1,368 Member
    Some of the bees on our planet were indistinguishable from an alien species that chose to live on our planet as bees. When they got wind that the **** was about to hit the fan they evacuated our planet.

    Right you are ....... give the girl an Adipose doll :happy:

    Which reminds me, I haven't been eating my beans lately ...... should really add them to my daily food log .......

    Hope y'all have an amazing day !

    Beans. Why can you not find store bought beans with low sodium? You can find everything else wih low sodium, but not the beans.

    I've made them myself, but nothing tastes as good as Heinz. Or Bachelor even. And forget about American Baked Beans. Can't find them low sodium either.

    * Rant over, I just really like beans*

    Not counting baked beans, I always rinse canned beans before using ...... mom always said that got rid of some of the sodium ...... not sure if it's true or not, but best not to argue with mom :laugh:

    And until I saw Dr Who, never heard of "beans on toast" ...... if I were really hungry, I'd eat it :drinker:

    Okay, that was the BEST way to start a lousy Monday morning! Talk about adrenaline! I didn't think I could have so may lumps in my throat over 7 minutes. The "Fire and Ice and Rage" speech gets me every time, as well as Martha's speech, and River's (swaggering off to his TARDIS). The clip of Sarah Jane leaving the TARDIS was horribly sad as well as the scenes of the Brigadier (just knowing that he's gone now made it sad). That's an amazing video!

    I had the most delicious dream about David Tennant (as the Doctor of course) last night. I blame all the Broadchurch episodes (is anyone else watching it? It's excellent.). Or just the fact that the man is beautiful. I've come back to this thread looking for the fabulous "Oh yes!" gif. It needs to be on my Tumblr. STAT.

    I don't know what Broadchurch is ....... but now I feel like I'm missing something beautiful :sad:

    It was on BBC back in the Spring, I believe. It started here on BBC-A in August. 8 episodes. It's kind of like Twin Peaks in basic story premise, but without all the David Lynch weirdness. A 12 year old boy is found dead in a small coastal town, David Tennant plays the Detective Inspector. Arthur Darvill is also on - he plays a priest. Each episode delves deeper into the community, I have to say it's pretty much kept me guessing every week. The season finale is tomorrow night. Apparently there is a season 2, I have no idea how that's going to work into the storyline though!

    I think I'm on episode 4 right now. It's amazing! The story is compelling and the scenery is beautiful. But most of all, David Tennant and his Scottish accent are sexyyyyy! I can't understand half the things he says (i'm bilingual, but originally french-canadian), but I don't care :)

    I love hearing his accent as well. We have to turn on closed captioning when we watch it. It look us about 3 episodes to figure out his character's name and his partner's name, so that's when we knew it was time to turn on the CC!
