No, it got canned when it got the reputation for being shit. Mostly because lots of people didn't bother to stay watching after the crap first McCoy season and hence missed the much improved serials of the later McCoy seasons. :P
No no. It was shit.

So did you ever get around to seeing The Curse of Fenric? Please don't tell me that you thought that was shit. 8O

Hey! Thanks for noticing! :)

When i was on IRC i was going through a bad time on my own. I only ever went on there drunk and talking shite, getting emotional with Bog etc.

A lot has happened since then, i didn't post on YakYak for a long time either, and it's only relatively recently i've come back to the flock.

I met a really fantastic girl and all was good, but the last year has been a bit of a nightmare emotionally, i don't really want to go into it, but IRC probably wouldn't be a good place for me.

I do miss WOS, Sack, Phil, You, and of course Bog with his WMD. :D

Rose says "you're hardly santa claus" - the doc replies... "red bike on your 12th birthday" -- wha ?
Oh, that ones easy, he simple made a mental note after saying that to travel back and give her one ;)
How could Rose survive having the time vortex running through her when there was clearly enough power to kill the doc ?
Dunno...it was a dues-ex moment, thus anything is allowed.

Must admit I had that thought too. Especially with the house prices and rents in London these days.

and about two yeas shy of starting a cack singing career. He could have stopped all that too, and he threw the chance away. Just one quiet little word - 'your shite' - that may have been all it would have needed. I hate him.

A Question:

I admit I haven't really seen many of the "original" stories since they were first transmitted in the 70s/80s and only watched the earlier ones once when they've been repeated (heck, not seen most of 2005 twie yet!). I've not listened to any of the Big Finish or other audio version (except the Ghosts of N Space) and not read any of the books apart from the original Target Novelisations so I may have just missed it/not remembered it but:

When did the Doctor get the ability to read minds? He's done it a couple of times this series with no outburst of shock/surprise that I've spotted.

He only did it in one episode. In the last episode he was just putting the girl in a trance so he could talk to the alien.

With Mme du Pompidour, I was under the impression that he wasn't so much leafing through the pages of her mind as just checking that the index was still in alphabetical order. So to speak. He does seem to have an innate sense of things being out of place, after all. I half suspect at times that it's this that's driving the TARDIS - it didn't take him where he wanted to go, as much as dump him where he needed to be.

Hmm. Holistic time-travel. :wink:

It's no coincidence that Dirk Gently has a markedly similar plot to Shada... :)
