Hmmm...

I have two tapes to give to snowdrop24 - one with season 6 Stargate episodes on, and the other with random M*A*S*H episodes on.
I'm going to hang on to the Stargate one for a while, as Sky one will probably show all season 6 episodes for me to tape eventually, even the ones I've missed so far.
The M*A*S*H one - well, I tried rewinding it tonight, but I ended up watching it. I was trying to make a list of the episodes that are actually on it, but that proved difficult as the episode names are never actually given. All I know is that the first one on the tape is the one where the army accidentally bomb that village, and there's a lot of talk about soft-ice-cream makers, and the second one is the one where Hawkeye decides to send the camp latrine to North Korea. I do actually know the title of that one, I just don't know it right now. Hmmm.
There are two Stargate eps taped on the other tape (oops! I'll get the others eventually!) and six M*A*S*H eps on the one I was watching tonight. I have no doubt that I'll never manage to rewind the tape - I'll just keep on watching it(!)

Can anyone tell me anything about MST3K? Has it ever been shown in Britain?

Ooh - I thought of it! It's called "Dr Pierce and Mr Hyde" - I think...
I started thinking about episode titles for things earlier for some reason. Even started boring purplerainbow with it. I know every single Stargate episode title, which is simply the result of checking for spoilers in more than fifty pieces of Stargate fanfic, but still - I like episode titles. There's just something about them. My favourite episode titles (not eps, just their titles) are:

• There but for the Grace of God
  
• Prometheus
  
• Redemption
  
• The Fifth Race
  
• Nightwalkers
  

I'm odd. I seem to collect episode titles, even from shows I don't normally watch, like the TNG titles "The City on the Edge of Forever" and "Encounter at Farpoint."
And then there's shows, sitcoms usually, that don't give you their episode titles, like Friends and Will and Grace. Friends has two inspired titles - "The One After the Superbowl" because it was first shown right after the Superbowl in America, and then the sublime "The One with Two Parts, Part One" and "The One with Two Parts, Part Two."
Will and Grace has some good titles - my favourites are "Tea and a Total Lack of Sympathy" and "Oh Dad, Poor Dad, He's Kept Me In The Closet and I'm So Sad" and the sci-fi inspired "There but for the Grace of Grace."
M*A*S*H has some good ones, too. "Bananas, Crackers and Nuts" and "The Ringbanger" - named after a guy who won't stop banging his ring on the table? What?! (Of course, I later discovered the guy is Leslie Nielson, the one from Airplane!)
And of course, there's always the minimalist route, which they seem to have taken with the episode title "Hawkeye."

Ye gods, have just noticed how much utter rubbish I've typed. I should stop. Now.

The City on the Edge of Forever - yeah, that might have been TOS, I really can't remember.
And yes, Trapper went home. Waaah! Unfair!
Incidentally, how old is your brother?
