Yeah.  Imagine what it would have been like if it hadn't been padded!
It would have been a load of shite.
Proof that compulsary padding can sometimes be beneficial.
But the whole point was that he didn't exsist in the other dimension.
There was some wibble about people not being able to cross to a universe
where they exsisted in another form.
"Brigade-Leader, all this is foolish!  Don't you see?  I don't exsist in
this dimension!"
"Then you won't feel the bullets when we shoot you."
Or some such thing.
And then Cornell tries to be clever and say that their great leader was
one of the faces he was offered by the Time-Lords.
Yes Paul, nice attempt, but it totally trashes the continuity of the
story.
But when has that ever stopped a writer in the past... Mr Aaronovich?
Yeah.  And those Daleks look much less frightening in real life as
they're so short.  ;)

Well, there was more than a little jest in the above quote, but I certainly
was serious, on the whole. As for the comments of a certain Mr.Goddard, I
think it best ye take it up with him... :)
But, all things considered, I'd rather one of the mid-Baker era horror Who's
than McCoy's three-ringed circus. This is my personal taste in Who...
Aye, well, weak stomachs not withstanding, if ye're going to kill someone, it
might as well be done properly. Cheesy death scenes is something television
has had more than enough of in the past.
Methinks Who should approach it's stories with a realistic air, rather than
hiding behind a comedy of (production) errors. If the demise in question is
perhaps inappropriate for broadcasting, then perhaps it should only be
implied, and take up the story again from there. I've no problem with this
method...

This is one of those topics that could be argued back n' forth until the cows
come home, with no real solution. I suppose it doesn't really help much that
there's not really very much to compare it with in the Real World... :)
Coupled with the nineties fascination with tacking the prefix cyber- onto any
word that sits still long enough, and it's no wonder there's some lack of
distinction...
The "org" in cyborg doesn't, or at least didn't, stand for organic. Cyborg is
a contraction of CYBernetic ORGanism. Somewhat different...
Well, trust me, it's possible to argue about _anything_ ... :)
But with developments within genetic research, I'd say the cyborg, whatever
it might stand for, is definitely last year's model... :)
