Going by the events of "Name of the Doctor" (namely Clara literally inserting herself into the Doctor's timeline), Clara was there in Aberdeen when it happened. I headcanon that she's who picked Sarah Jane up and got her on the way back to Croydon.

Also hard to do with Vula being the only tribe to go to TC this season.

If they stick with the design of the Zyuranger/MMPR suits, as I suspect they will, then I think so. Nostalgia bait and all.

Honestly, I think that the Muppet was named and based on the two meanings of "count", and this particular legend about vampires is just a happy coincidence. However, I concede that someone at Henson and/or CTW might have heard of this particular story before, and used it to help create and inform the character.

I suspected this too at first. I also thought sexism could be a factor. So it wasn't just that they were black, but black women. (We never saw if the last place team also had this issue...but they were dead in the water for so long it would have been a non-factor anyway.) It could also be a combination of all three; racism, sexism, and clue comprehension failure. And it sounded to me (as we never really saw them) like the cabbie that finally picked them up was female. So that could also have been a factor in why they were finally able to catch a cab. TBF, they did have to give out two First Place prizes this time. And they did have to spend more budget on this leg than usual, what with 14 teams and all. And as I recall, the first cash prize is usually $2500 each. So it seems like they split that usual prize between the two Firsts, but bumped it up a little to (appear to) be less chintzy.

Huh. Sometimes Peachy does get it right....

May I suggest you take a small break from DS9 after finishing season 4, and watch the 3 seasons of TOS then. Then pick back up on DS9 with the start of season 5. Those that know will know.

Blood Oath is also a great bit of universe continuity for people who have seen TOS. Since you haven't yet, I hesitate to say much more.

New gen Bebop? Seems like it's worth a look.

This I can agree with. CBS may give them the budget to do a live reunion again this one time. But it'd most likely just be for this one time. Maybe again for S75 and S100....

I know he said those things were "up for a vote". But I have very little confidence that TPTB will actually abide by the majority decision on those two things (and others) if it doesn't match with what they plan to do anyway. Relatively unimportant things like tribe colors, fine. Cast members like for Second Chances, ok (and even that was a bit of a stretch). But not live gameplay elements like the F4 fire or something they'd have to spend more money on like a live reunion. I mainly think this because they aren't planning on revealing the results of the polls until during S50 filming. There's not going to be any "instant feedback" to see which way the polls are trending. All we the voting public will get will be the "results", and we'll have to wait until next year to find those out. Don't get me wrong; I'm still planning on participating in the voting, even in the categories I anticipate will not really be chosen by us. Because I could very well be wrong and TPTB may surprise me. But I'll be wearing my cynic buff while casting my votes.

There's no way they're going to let us decide those things. The other two, possibly. But not getting rid of F4 fire and the return of a live reunion.

There's a joke in poor taste that could be made here, but I thought better of it.

Considering he recently got killed, they probably do now.

Just from this headline...First Boot please!
