He isn't. Not even slightly. Hence why I said "It's just a film. It's not real."

Erm...it just takes less energy to power a void ship than time travel?

They were using a void ship with an "energy efficiency" sticker on it?

They were also getting the power from the "ghosts" somehow?

Oh, okay. Fuck knows. It's just TV, innit?

They inverted the warp coils, fed it through the deflector dish to emit a tachyon pulse, that created a warp bubble, so boosting the warp engines by 194.8 %.

Sorry wrong TV series.

Yeh,it's just a TV show..........

........speculating is fun sometimes though.

Just had a strange thought.......Janeway and Seven of nine commentating
on a world cup football match with lots of technobabble.........

Sorry

Why isn't Eccleston the 8th doctor and Tennant the 9th then?

Because Snakey's opinion of canon doesn't count. Only the BBCs.

Fucking Metro!

Skip over the 'next companion' stuff in here, 'cos I'm loving Dr. Who on a week-to-week basis, and DON'T want to know what's coming next.

Open the bloody paper on the tube this morning. Get to about page 7, and there's an article about the next companion. With a fucking huge photo of Tennant and 'x'.

Fucking started the day a TREAT that did.

I think the chances of you managing to avoid that particular piece of news until the character first appears was slim to none anyway.

Really, that's no more of a spoiler than knowing that David Tennant was to play the new Doctor, and certainly less of one than knowing that Billie Piper was leaving.

Not to mention the BBC announcing that CE wasn't doing another series in the first place.

What? You mean Hartnell's leaving?

You know what I find hardest to get used to now that my fave show is popular again? The fact that almost everywhere I go people are talking about it in casual conversation.

Kids walk past me in the street and I hear them talking about the last episode. Last night I was at the theatre watching a Noel Cowerd play and during the interval I heard two women a few rows behind me talking about Rose possibly dying.

In 2004 at the Blackpool Doctor Who exhibition before the show was back I was amazed to see a little girl shouting at her dad "Look dad. It's a Dalek". It wasn't surprising at all then to see everyone else walking past without even a glance.

It's back and I still can't believe it

Acksherly, I'm with you there. Which is partly why I get annoyed abnout people whinging about RTD's episodes being crap compared to others or whatever. We should just all rejoice in it being on the telly again full stop.

Agreed. Several episodes of the new BSG have been dull as dishwater, same with Lost.

Dr. Who is not, and was never going to be, exempt from the same sorts of problems that plague any long-running drama series.

Overall, I still love it, and it's still the best thing on telly.

The Eccleston news was apparently leaked far earlier than the producers wanted. The Piper news, OTOH, was deliberately announced in a press release.

"Several episodes", not all of it

I agree with phattslagg, even about some episodes in the middle of Lost's second season. And I love Lost almost as much as DW
