Re: Doctor Who - it\'s official Well, if you want to get technical, it was actually the last Troughton story "The War Games" in which they were introduced. The Doctor himself was forced to make contact with "his people" because he was in a situation over his head. As a result, his contacting...

Re: Doctor Who - it\'s official Gallifrey and the Time Lords weren't retconned into the series until the end of the second Doctor's run. None of it was really planned that way in the beginning. Originally it was intended to be more educational, which is why many of the Hartnell stories are...

I just saw an ep the other night where Sisko and O'Brien got marooned on a planet with people who refused to use modern technology. The woman who tried to seduce Sisko was played by the same actress who played Catherine Sakai. Sinclair would have been pissed! :p

Re: Doctor Who - it\'s official I was holding my tongue. ;)

I've always liked JMS' quote when asked why he wasn't flattered that they stole his idea by saying something along the lines of "How would you like it if I stole your car?" I actually never saw any of B5 until I was well into DS9, but I never viewed B5 as being the one doing the pilfering. It...

Re: Doctor Who - it\'s official Yes, that is a quite trivial point that was added to make the show more accessible to an American audience. It could have been said tongue-in-cheek and dismissed easily if they had not made a point to mention it more than once. It all stems from an...

Re: Doctor Who - it\'s official They have decided to downplay Richard E Grant's participation in the series as Eccelston has been deemed the *ninth* Doctor. I guess the BBC figures that they can dismiss "Scream of the Shalka" as a one-off ("Unbound" in fandom vernacular) adventure made for...

Re: Doctor Who - it\'s official I'm guessing BBCAmerica will show it not too long after its first run. Although they've made it quite clear that they are not catering to an American audience*, they can't really deny its popularity. I'm sure the Beeb is making plenty of dollars from the Region...

Re: Doctor Who - it\'s official Some more news that may be of interest from Outpost Gallifrey:

Re: Claudia\'s new scifi Britcom Captain Blowhard? :eek:

My thoughts exactly while listening to the commentary. He says the scene ended up being almost twenty minutes long, but there was obviously less in the final cut. But this could be a good thing - the ramifications being that maybe the scene included, or conflicted with, a certain aspect of the...

Hypatia - Doth thou only post but to pose questions? :p Yes, Rhade is the descendant of Dylan's old first officer, who betrayed them. Here's more news from The Futon Critic: Looks like SCIFI wants out of the deal. No surprise here. But this might just be one time where they can't get...

vacantlook, You seem to have an intimately informed opinion about something you consider garbage. For someone who despises the show so much, why do you continue to watch it? :confused: Just curious.

Just found this. SCIFI apparently HAS signed on to co-produce the fifth season to get the rights to syndicate the entire series. I have a feeling that the fifth season is part of the deal, since the show seems to still be in first-run syndication on other channels. In fact, my local WB...

This may well be the case, though I have not heard that. The official websites are tightlipped, as usual. But it would make sense. The last few eps have been leaning on the "Magog are coming in like a week" premise fairly heavily - not that they haven't been for some time. I think the...

Well, it appears that the Andromeda bashers may finally get their wish. Their production company has gone under and the series might just be cancelled. SCIFI is only partially responsible for the cost of production, and judging by their past inconsistancies, will most likely let it drop. Oh...

Re: IGN\'s S5 Review... Yeah, that really bugged me too. Supposedly, the Interstellar Alliance encompassed most of the major races. How come nobody knew about these guys?

The thing I've always found about DVD commentaries in general, moreso with TV shows, is that the insight diminishes exponentially by the number of people doing the commenting. With 2-3 actors/director, the experience is optimal. More than that and it just turns into a nostalgia-fest, generally...

Re: G\'Kar...Afraid? It may seem out of left field, but that's what leads me to believe it may have in fact been Kosh that G'Kar was meant to see. He had touched G'Kar's mind during the Dust episode and he would definitely be a good visitor for him due to his choosing a path of enlightenment...
