I only just got into doing that for Doctor Who and Battlestar Galactica, because I live in New Zealand, and the BSG currently screening in the States won't get here for at least a year. There is no way to avoid spoilers like that.<BR/><BR/>And if they're cutting out stuff to cram more advertisements in,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555488.post-68476040265738029072008-04-23T13:09:00.000-04:002008-04-23T13:09:00.000-04:00The fourth season definitely lives up to what went...The fourth season definitely lives up to what went before it.

The impression I'm getting is that it's kind of the 'series finale' for the Davies years, and will bring back a lot of threads/characters from the past few years, which could be great, or could lead to a ridiculously overstuff final two Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09483689490186954593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555488.post-8425035572488647712008-04-22T10:43:00.000-04:002008-04-22T10:43:00.000-04:00Glad to hear you enjoyed it!
