Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series

Doc, sniffing the chess board (much to the [mild] irritation of the two players) picks up the scent of the missing pieces on the wind, coming from somewhere to the west.

Re: Scene VIII: The Neverending Forest

Engaging his canine senses, Doc sniffs towards the figures... do they smell like normal humans?
