I wonder if anyone considers Jenny and Donna as Doctors.
I really would have liked a happier ending for Donna. -
It might be fun to have the actors return but have them reprise other roles.
You could even hint that they are all time traveling descendants of the Doctor and River, though of course that would never be confirmed. But being descendants would explain why they all favor past incarnations of the Doctor. -
I'm beginning to think we are using different definitions for the word "crush". Maybe my definition isn't common.

Quote:Amy definitely had a one-way crush on the Doctor. I'm not saying she was madly in love with him, but she did leave her fiance to travel with this strange raggedy man. Amy does develop beyond that though. So, after a point it is mostly just teasing flirting, but in the beginning there was definite crush.Originally Posted by Father Xmas
And I never considered Amy to have a crush on the Doctor. She's the kind of woman who can spot guys who get uncomfortable around women who aggressively flirt with him. Plus from the Doctor's perspective she was just a 7 year old and a woman scheduled to get married the next day. Plus he had all that "Who was River Song to him" knowledge pestering him as well. -
Quote:Amy seems like an amalgamation of Rose, Martha and Donna. She has the youth of Rose, the crush of Martha and the brashness of Donna.Originally Posted by Le Blanc
I am having a HECK of a time getting into the new (for me) Smith seasons. Amy reminds me of somebody I know (she is a DEAD ringer for her), and his Dr. just seems off to me. I also don't like that he looks so young. I don't know how old he is, but he just looks young. Did it start slow for anybody else? And if it did, did it get better?
Matt's Doctor feels a lot more alien than Tennant's, but Tennant was maybe a little too human anyway. Matt's portrayal also seems to be of a playful old man trapped in the body of a young man. He's not my favorite Doctor, but I think he's done a fairly good job. -
I'm a little worried they haven't given her enough personality, but that's probably just from the nature of the clips. If she really is going to be so serious all the time, then she is going to need a really zany villain and sidekicks to play off of.

As I said, the biggest problem is the sun, you'd likely be cooked dead by totally unblocked UV radiation (plus general heat)... or you might suffocate first, no one's ever tried to find out.

Remember that post I made on this thread a little earlier about how many current fans of the franchise probably would not like this movie for all sorts of (implied nit-picky) reasons? Meet exhibit A.
Dr. Who actually goes by the name "Dr. Who".
Who is not a Time Lord
Who is apparently a human who built a time machine.
It's like I made a Knightrider movie, but Kitt is just a GPS and Michael Knight is a wizard who goes by the name Knightrider.
Or it's like I made an A-Team movie, but instead of them being mercenaries, they are interior decorators. -
I believe they are talking about this movie:

Notice that he's not even "Doctor", but "Dr." -
I like the idea of it being a bit of a prequel with a young 1st Doctor. They could have the young Doctor and Master play off each other like a young Professor X and Magneto. And we could have the scene of the Doctor "borrowing" the Tardis.
The only problem with this is if they decide to regenerate their Doctor for a future movie, which wouldn't be a huge deal, since it only throws off the current regeneration count. -
I've never understood why people think a sketch comedy show needs pop music guests. Those are two completely different things.

Quote:This is similar to my line of thought. We really can't be too sure that another civilization in the past didn't come near our technology level. Very little of what we have built would last for tens of thousands of years. Any series of disasters could knock that civilization back to a dark age.Originally Posted by Traegus
so, years ago (these "monuments" have been known about for quite awhile), the theory was that the features on these monuments were Caucasoid, and that it pointed to western european explorers visiting south america much sooner then previously thought. or that the south americans had encountered western europeans "somewhere". we make pretty hefty assumptions on our historical accuracy even in times when records were not kept, and we do not easily let them go (faster then light particles??? no wayz!!!!). it's quite possible that the cultures that excelled at exploring were doing it much sooner then assumed..... but that would mean someone would have to change a text book or two, and that's just too much work!
Just because there is technology, that doesn't mean that it has to be alien in origin. People today are not believed to be any more clever than people from way back when. All you really need is free time and a stable food supply to create a stable environment for innovation. -
I don't think I've ever seen a crucifix in a Southern Baptist Church. There might be one out there somewhere, but I'm very doubtful.

I always envisioned that since 4th edition went so strongly towards a class based system, that 5th edition might try for a stronger skill based system. I'm imagining a system where your class mostly just determines what's a skill and a cross-class skill for you and everything else is left up to skill points, including things like BAB and saves.
I also expect 5th to be very app-centric, but I'm not exactly sure how that will be realized. -
And the new Avatar series is going to have a female lead.

Did I miss it, or did no one mention Buffy yet?

Quote:We've also seen that moving planets across time and space isn't that difficult. Time isn't really an issue here. If you were going to found a time-spanning society, where would you start?Originally Posted by Comrade Hero
That makes Gallifrey and the Time Lords one of the oldest known humanoid civilizations in the Whoverse. Fighting interstellar wars before our solar system was even formed, and hard at work perfecting space-time technology when the universe was half its present size.
That roughlys place the Gallifrey and Time Lord civilization being active over 4.5 billion years ago (before our solar system was formed). It's anyone's guess as to the exact date the universe was half it's present size. -
Quote:As mentioned, Earth and Gallifrey are probably not the same planet, and almost certainly not the same solar system. But that doesn't prevent the possibility that time traveling humans of the future might not become the Gallifrayans of the past.Originally Posted by Durakken
Could Gallifrey be Earth in the future?
Gallifrayans look a lot like Humans...
Humans and Galligrayans are mixable genetically via Donna Noble
Humans seem to be effected by the time vortex and can become Time Lords
We've never seen another Time Lord near Earth save for rebels(of course i haven't watched all Dr. Who)
There is a law against travelling into Gallifrayan history
The Dalleks like to attack Earth a lot and the Dalleks hate the Time Lords...
Personally, I doubt that relationship between humans and Gallifrayans. There are quite a few very human looking races in the universe. We were just introduced to another human looking, two-hearted, time manipulating race in The Girl Who Waited, so humans aren't even the most Time Lord like race out there.
Now if we want to argue that Timelords did some sort of seeding of their DNA throughout time and space, that wouldn't surprise me at all. -
Quote:I would argue that he doesn't even have faith in himself. That is another kind of faith after all. His faith in himself would have been incredibly shaken after the events of the previous episode.Originally Posted by Dr_MechanoEU
So he has no faith in God, he has no faith in the Doctor (especially after last episode), he only has faith in one thing, himself.

Given this suit has no means of keeping the public from seeing you,or rapidly getting away, honestly the whole crime fighter or even bad guy route just seems like a headache waiting to happen. That you can merely juggernaut your way thru most mundane things since this suit implies no form of travel power(I'm guessing you'd be able to jump some what higher, or run a bit faster, but the suit makes no mention that degree. Most humans running speed and jumping height is rather unimpressive, 100 fold isn't getting away from helicopters line of sight.) or stealth you're bound to end up in some violent shoot out with the army or police when they ambush you.
Personally, I'd probably do some non-crime fighting heroing. I would work search and rescue and help with fighting fires, floods and hurricanes.
If you stay out of law and do public good it'd be pretty hard for anyone to try to stop you. The only danger is criminals trying to abduct your loved ones, so you will perform crimes for them. Secret identity is very important. -

I just hope they don't use a self limiting premise for the show:
DS9: They couldn't go anywhere.
Voyager: They couldn't get home.
Enterprise: They couldn't change the future/present.
And some of the posted ideas have similar problems:
Acadamy: They can't graduate.
Future Stuck: They can't get back home.
This just leads to too many idiot ball moments to maintain a status quo. And it really hurts the suspension of disbelief.
ToS and TNG had it best, because they just had a mission to go and do stuff. -
I trust Duncan's ability to play parts that Duncan wants to play.

There seems to be no character generation in this game. It looks like you choose one of the pre-existing characters and play as that. I'm not even sure this is a true MMO. It looks pretty instanced and designed to work with a 3 person team. I wouldn't be surprised if the other 2 players are bots.

Question:
Does Conan come in regular, or is it only in 3D? None of the theaters here in Memphis seem to be showing it in any version but 3D.
