In reply to Shaenon Garrity (shaenongarrity).

Doctor Who is definitely more popular. HHGTG only ran for a handful of episodes, one radio drama, and one (very bad) movie.* DW, on the other heart–er, hand–ran for two TV series, a radio drama, one TV movie (Fox/BBC), and two (somewhat unrelated) movies (the Peter Cushing films where the Doctor is a human mad scientist rather than an alien Time Lord). Plus, Doug Adams even got his start on DW, so…

*Yes, the Americanized movie was horrible, even if it did actually get Trillian’s appearance right. I mean, Zaphod with two faces on one head? Come on!

I really like how shocked and horrified Dave is at the realization that this story is in a totally different genre and Helen’s allowed to be effective at evil. X3

Leon: Reminds me of a Wolverine vs. Greymalkin riff, from Cable's comic. Wolverine's visiting Cable's space station Greymalkin, and at one point he lights up a cigar... so this robotic arm comes out with a fire extinguisher: click...psst. A few frames later, he lights up again. The robotic arm comes back: click... Snikt! bzztt.... The robotic stump retreats....

*Anything* is lethal in large doses. Drink enough water too fast and you'll die.

But I suppose Leon was referring to alcohol ... ("We saw the elks running for the water hole. And you should see them run when they find it's only a *water* hole. What they're looking for is an elkohol." --Groucho Marx)

Saturday's Comic: Dave put on a tie for this?

Well, at least he was somehow allowed to smoke on-air. 'Tain't the first or last time that Dave's cigarette has appeared in situations normally deemed unacceptable for smoking.

Hey, that reminds me - y'know what else is lethal in large doses?

I love that she’s not obviously an expert on anything in particular.
