Although I think the drama that Colin Baker's stories included was a welcome
element, and that the stories (apart from Mark of the Rani and The Twin
Dilemma) were taut, fresh-looking, powerful stuff.  The Sylvester McCoy
stories summon alternate images of bubblegum and old Nickelodeon to my mind
(not that either comparison is that bad, but it's not good for Who).

You neglected to mention some rather limited actors: Jonathan "two moods:
horny and pissed off" Frakes springs to mind.  I cannot recall a good Riker
story, and although I don't know Frakes's work well enough to be certain,
but his apparently minute range may be the reason for this.

I always had trouble with the Daleks as well.  I suppose the only thing
which justifies that silly silly design is the fact that Davros was a
*psychotic* genius, and wanted to make the Daleks in his image (the
"wheelchair" unit).  But then again, it's not easy making robots that climb
stairs, especially when the operators resemble tentacle-less octopi.  It's
believable that they would exist in the form they have; it's just annoying
that they're so silly.  With apologies to Terry Nation, whose stuff we still
love.

I agree, if I read you correctly.  Doctor Who is an example of great writing
transcending low production values (although it should be pointed out that DW
also had its share of great actors, especially throughout the Tom Baker era).
Once the quality of the writing plummeted (in the Colin Baker and Sylvester
McCoy eras, both of which are almost uniformly *awful*), the series sputtered
and was cancelled.  (One wonders if the BBC - long an opponent of its own
show, for some perplexing reason - finally realized what was keeping DW afloat
and fired all the good writers or something.)

Star Trek: The Next Generation, on the other hand, is an example of high
production values failing to compensate for mediocre-to-awful writing.  The
result is a mediocre series.

There have been discussions from time-to-time on rec.arts.startrek that Star
Trek has really taken the "complete story in 45-50 minutes" approach as far as
it can, and it needs to loosen up some.  The popular view is that it should
move toward "story arcs" taking up a number of episodes apiece, and perhaps
flowing into each other.

I think that Doctor Who's format would suit Star Trek very well.

Doctor Who's aliens are usually more interesting to me than TNG's.  Even the
Tesh from "The Face Of Evil" (who basically looked human since they basically
WERE human) seemed far more ALIEN than almost any aliens from TNG, because of
their pale complexions and sterile behavior.

Precisely.

My housemate made the same comment about Sam last night, though I

Fascinating.  I've never seen this Dr. Who.  The Dr. Who I'm familiar
with, obviously a pale imitation, had Daleks which had no manipulation
capacity beyond an appendage that looked like a bathroom plunger, and
no capacity to travel over any surface not flat and reasonably level.

I too have been very disappointed with STNG and refuse to watch the reruns.
I live in a Chicago suburb and in my area Fox puts STNG and TOS on Sundays
one after the other respectively.  It is really interesting to watch both
and see where there are similarities and differences.  The biggest and most
glaring differences are the ones that make TOS a much more enjoyable show
to watch especially in reruns.  These diffferences are the acting and the
stories' plots.  Sure STNG is visually more interesting to watch but others
have pointed out the lack of character development,  bad scripts, and stupid
endings.  I hope Deep Space Nine doesn't try to rely on fancy imagery to bring
in ratings.  Because if DSN tries to take the path of STNG I believe their 
space lease will be much shorter than TOS's was.

   Now As to Babylon 5 as well as Red Dwarf.  I would love to see these shows
but The networks and Cable in this area, in simple terms, Suck.  Are these showson Video. If so where.

I heard that it was being scrapped as well.  Something to do with monetary
considerations, which is what it always comes down to.  Perhaps this is
just a rumor, but I haven't heard of any work being done on this episode
and that's not exactly something that could be kept quiet.
