assistant: Peter,
Destiny is one of my all time favourites!  Although it would have been
60% better had it been done in the Season 18 JNT era rather then under
Douglas Adams - pretty much like all the season 17 stories.  City of
Death is nice, the ending in purticular seems quite sad, as if Romana
and the Doctor were waving goodbye to my childhood.  Sniff.

More personality then Adric though!
Yup, download Antartic Adventure for the MSX / Colecovision Emulators.
Amazing!
Sylvester McCoy and Sophie as Guilderstein and Rozenkrantz?
Was she waxing lyrical with you?
Huhuhuhu - I'm there dude.

You don't have to beat it, it's already dead.

"Gold!"

But thats enough about Voyager...

Wonder who JNT would have cast as Nyder?  Charles Hawtrey?  "Ohhh

Well that would be a tough decision to make.  Consultation would be

Yes, it stands out like a garish monolith amongst the rest of the who
tapes.  Just like the previous one did...and the one before that.  Can't

Perhaps the nutrino wave which knocked Voyager off course was actually
the wake left by Ace being transported by Fenric to Iceworld.
"Capt' I'm picking up a strange fat girl called Dorothy flying over the
rainbow into a nutrino wave".
Thats the one, more scary then the who monsters any day.

If you follow the alternative universe version of Segal Who...

But I always thought that the show presented the Timelords as being

Now you guys know how I feel about the next nasty step in this process:
the revamping of the Star Wars movies... As if they were bitterly flawed
or something, they're now going to be spiced up with new footage
inserted and laser bolts and so forth cleaned up, CGI enhanced ships
with more detail spliced in etc... I really don't know where this
nonsense is going to end, but next door in the Star Wars conference it
seems as though I'm the only one opposed to this gimmick...

What if I told you there's no such thing as "canon" or "official"? The
