Question:

[clo_again]

As part of my 21st episode marathon tomorrow, I'm watching an episode of the new Doctor Who; however, I'm not entirely sure how to 'count' the episodes. epguides.com lists the CiN, Christmas Invasion AND Attack of the Graske as individual episodes but I include the CiN special as part of the Christmas Invasion and Attack of the Graske not as an episode at all. Counting them would make Rise of the Cybermen the 21st episode, whereas only counting The Christmas Invasion (IMHO the only 'real' episode of the three) makes School Reunion the 21st.

Opinions? Do I count them as three separate episodes or not?

edit (Or, just to be awkward, do I not count any of them based on the fact they're specials and therefore not real episodes at all?)

I'm also thinking I'll start in reverse order and watch most recent to oldest rather than starting at the beginning and working my way through. I've seen the most recent ones pretty recently and it'd be a bummer to start on a high note and go downhill.

You ask the oddest questions... and randomly, before I answer, your default icon? that picture makes me think it's Todd Bertuzzi (hockey player) every SINGLE time! It's kills me, 'cause I start to think I'm at the wrong journal... :-)

Uhm, just count them all as one ep. *grin* Just because it'll give you more to watch. *nods* That's my opinion. (not like I have ANY clue what you're really talking about, but hey I can answer anyhow!)

Graske wasn't an episode, it was a very fun game. The Children in Need bit wasn't an episode either unless we're now actually counting the Curse of the Fatal death and the CiN 5 Doctor episode-ette as well. Which we don't.

Christmas Invasion is an episode because stuff happens in it that is mentioned later on.
