assistant: Hi Anthony
He said often enough, that he is 'an alien' _or_ that he is 'not human'.
Both is at lesat a half-lie (if he is half-humman).
[morphing]
The dead Master morphed, as long he was outside  human body (worm, pool,
snake).
What I did not like, ist that this looked too much like a liquid Changeling
oder Terminator II.
The eye of harmony should be on Gallifrey. I was not shure, if this was the
same eye. Is there an connection between each TARDIS and Gallifrey?

Write your reply.

assistant: Help!!!
January 1997 is rushing toward us, and with it, long-awaited new
episodes of Red Dwarf.  Of course, it'll take a while for RD7 to make it
to the States.
What I'm looking for is someone in the UK who would be willing to write
LogBook entries for the new episodes.  Ideally, this consists of writer
and director credits, plus the full cast list at the end, and a synopsis
of the story that's about 10-20 lines long in 80 columns.  The synopsis
itself should also be funny, if at all possible, while still conveying
the story and without - this is the important bit - giving away the
denoument.
If you're interested, or would like more info, drop me a line at
egreen@ipa.net, and maybe I can answer more questions.  I'd just like to
be able to keep the Red Dwarf file as current as possible. 8-]

 He *is* an alien since he isn't from Earth.  In other
 incarnations, perhaps he wasn't half human.  The Doctor seems to
 rejuggle his gene pool with each incarnation.
 I suppose that "not human" might be equivalent to someone
 claiming racial identity as black even though he also has some
 white ancestors.  Sometimes the actuality isn't really relevant,
 or pertinent, in the context of a conversation.  That is, if the
 Doctor is only trying to give a quick explanation of why he has
 a time travel machine, then he doesn't need to present his
 entire family tree.

the one you ment, Not Battlefield..  Battlefield, was the Last Patrick
Troughton series story, Actually.. if I'm not mistaken, I swear this was
the episode that they created 'The Master' from.), Skaro was the home planet
of the Thals & Kaleds (later to become Daleks)..(Well, Okay, The Dals, Yes
I remember Dead Planet (William Hartnell, #2 story).)

episode, 'the 10th planet'.. (sorry to say, I just read it is not in its
entiriety.. Although, someone did make an AVI of the regeneration scene.))
 Or, had the writers for Doctor Who, suddenly taken a creative class from
the writers of Star Trek.  (So what if it's wrong from past episodes, Who'll

Dead Planet, which introduced the Daleks), to 'Kaleds' (Genesis of the
