I read more of my new DS9 prequel book. It inspired me to watch some episodes, and I'm falling in love with the show all over again. I watched the 2nd season episode "The Collaborator", which features a Bajoran charcter named Kubus Oak, who's just one of a vast number of Bajoran & Cardassian characters set to appear in this trilogy of DS9's past...and there was just so much to love about this one episode. Political & religious intrigue, character development, revelations and interpersonal drama, romance, the look that launched the Kira / Odo relationship - with Quark making me laugh out loud after all these years. This is fun.

In other geeky news, of the 38 confirmed Season 4 Whoniverse episodes, I lack 15. Here's where I think they go, for now:

01 068 Partners in Crime
02 070 The Fires of Pompeii
03 072 Planet of the Ood
04 076 The Sontaran Stratagem [Part I]
05 077 ??? [Part II]
06 079 ???
07 082 The Unicorn and the Wasp
08 084 Silence in the Library [Part I]
09 085 ??? [Part II]
10 089 Midnight
11 093 Exit Wounds [Part II]
12 094 ??? [Part I]
13 095 ??? [Part II]
14 096 ??? [Part III]
15 097 ??? [Part IV] (Xmas Special)

#089 Exit Wounds [Part II] will air Friday April 4th. #068 Partners in Crime will air Saturday April 5th, with 12 more episodes to follow in consecutive weeks, and the final installment to be aired at Christmas. There will be no new season of "Totally Doctor Who" this year, which is where last year's animated episode came from, so I doubt we'll have one of those this year, and even if there's another Children in Need Special (which I hope there is) the previous installments have all been set between the final episode of the main seasons and the Christmas Specials, so that shouldn't effect the order of things. The only thing I need to know now are how Torchwood ends (which I'll soon know) and how Jack & Sarah Jane come to be on Doctor Who, which will be revealed in June, I think.

In the mean time I'm trying to stay away from any Torchwood Finale spoilers. Which is difficult because of the longer waiting time of 2 weeks instead of 1. Erg.
