Last night's Doctor Who was a total winner. However, I had to watch it on YouTube because, for the first time in 3 years, I can't find a good torrent for the episode. If there are any kind souls who have a good torrent for "Utopia" I'd be eternally grateful to you for sending it my way. Die Hard, I'm looking at you.

Here's a little something I found that's a perfect celebration of the main plot point of Utopia. Enjoy.

Have you tried www.eztvefnet.org?

I would supply a direct link to a torrent file, but I am not sure what the forum policy is on bittorents and commercial television.

Generally, I check there or at mininova.org which for some reason will actually have the EZTV torrents before EZTV has them on their own site.

Rock on, Lepton. I got an awesome torrent on that EZTV site.

Stephen, TV Links is a sweet site. I tend to browse a lot through there. They've got a huge chunk of William Hartnell's first season on there too.

Plus one to both of you. Thanks for helping out a major Who junkie.

That episode was un-believable, this show just keeps getting better and better. No US SciFi show, including BSG, touches BSG.

I think that was a typo DH.

Wow. Just... wow - this has to be the finest hour of this 40 year old show. Absolutely mind-blowing.

And theres still the final two parts of this story to go - "The Sound of Drums", and "The Last of the Time Lords"...

[Check out Delgado's voice in the watch - "Destroy him, then you will give your power to me"... followed by Ainley's laugh... Tres cool]

From what I've heard about you, NOT being BSG hasn't stopped you from doing that.

I'm not sure what show you guys were watching but I thought it was pretty standard and a bunch of fluff. Oh, really. It's the Master. Who could have guessed??!!! <Obvious alert!!!!>

For this particular Doctor Who show, nothing can beat the episodes leading up to and including where Rose looks into the heart of the TARDIS and vanquishes the Daleks for what should have been the final time. Everything after that has been downhill. How long can this show keep banking on Daleks, the Master, and running away from silly monster things? It' just seems sad to me.

Doctor vs Master is Holmes vs Moriarty. Equal and opposite.
I must admit, at first viewing I had missed the Face of Bo/screen interaction for the YANA abbreviation.

It was a good episode, but I'm baffled by the hype around it. It's not like this is the first time the Master has come back from the dead in some improbable fashion. Neither is this the first three part story about his return. For those of us who were watching back in the 80s, we can remember the "Master Returns" trilogy: The Keeper of Traken (the Master attempts to take control of an ultimate power source to extend his life, fails, and escapes after hijacking someone's body), Logopolis (the Master lays a trap for the Doctor, inadvertantly unleashes unstoppable forces that are destroying the universe, has to cooperate with the Doctor to stop it, and, in the process, kills off the 4th Doctor), and Castrovalva (the Master lays a series of traps for the newly-regenerated Doctor, one of which includes sending the Doctor's TARDIS back to the Big Bang, the other involving a simulation of a theraputic location to aid the Doctor in healing from his difficult regeneration--the trap fails and the Master is caught in his own nasty surprise in what appears to be a fatal manner).

Utopia was really just a vehicle for reintroducing the Master and had no real plot signifigance. I'm not sure why fans are calling this episode a pivotal moment in Doctor Who history. The true meat of the story will be happening in The Sound of Drums and The Last of the Time Lords.

I've been doing that constantly since I saw the episode last night - there's already a support group for people with sore fingers over on Outpost Gallifrey
