I'd have concluded the same thing if not for the Dr. Who factor, though maybe with DW it's that the long history of the show in a way creates ensemble, i.e. despite there only being two current main characters, you know you just have to delve back a decade or two if you want other sets of characters?

Doctor Who is truly neither fish nor fowl. On the one hand, you can focus on the intense 'partners' relationship between the Doctor and the companion du jour, but on the other you have all those other characters (and Doctors!) if a large cast is more your thing. So I think it's all things to all people.

Anyway, now I FINALLY understand all the jokes about Mohinder pinned to the ceiling.

So, given where he got that trick from, which Winchester brother do you think is Sylar's favourite?
