In fairness, there are only so many ways you can analyse the classic episodes. And they've all pretty much been done in one way or another now. Other than referencing how a classic episode relates to a new episode, what more is there to say? Unless we start exploring the motivations of unnamed...

I agree with everything you said but I feel it's important to add one major point - NO TIME TRAVEL!!!!!

I can see why I forgot it. 2 minutes after watching it again and its already slipping from my brain. Plus the first attempt at an orchestral version of the theme was fairly ordinary. The new series was much more effective in its interpretation of the theme (although for me this will always be my...

I did hear rumours that Terry really wanted the Daleks to appear in Blake's 7. He was very keen to spin them off outside of Doctor Who. That's why we didn't see any between Evil of the Daleks in 1967 and Day of the Daleks in 1972.

I've been thinking about this and is it possible that this was a story concept originally pitched for Doctor Who and later reworked for Blake's 7? It seems out of place in Blake's 7 but I could see it working in Doctor Who.

I read this sentence and now 15 minutes later I'm still trying to remember the title sequence from the movie. I'm sure it had stars or something in it.

OK I was a little offput by the title. Thought I might be seeing some daleks. But overall this was definitely a return to form for the show after last episode's miss-hit. Blake and the team attacking the Federation. A good sequence with them infiltrating the base and stealing the decoder. And...

Well that was an interesting episode. I'm not really sure what to say about it. On the positive side the mystery was intriguing. On the negative side, none of the team really covered themselves in glory, and the episode was extremely slow. I don't mind a slow build in a story but this was...

Me too! It's been rather unpleasant.

I was always just annoyed that, 70,000 light years from home with a crew half made up of criminals, they managed to have a perfectly maintained ship, always in pristine condition, and crews that melded into a single starfleet crew without any real issues.

My point is that the Annals were written in the 2nd century (about 116CE - so some 80 odd years after Jesus' death). That's not a contemporary reference.

I'm back!!! Been ill for the last couple of weeks - kidney stones followed by a severe stomach virus - not a fun time for me. Between being in undescribable pain, spaced out on pain meds, and throwing up I really haven't been up to watching things so now I'm playing catch up. Anyway this was a...

Yeah I have the same challenge. I used to be a big fan of an Australian entertainer called Rolf Harris. Extremely talented performer and an incredible entertainer. Then a few years ago he was convicted of many accounts of child abuse and I can't listen to his music anymore. The quality of his...

Another interesting episide. I'm enjoying Pal Krenzy as a character more than I'd thought I would. Seeing her working hard to try to resurrect her career is a good touch. I'd thought that her efforts as hero and media focus might have been it for her sacking and the whole thing forgotten by this...

Churches like that drive me crazy. They behave like that and then wonder why their numbers keep dropping. Maybe if they acted as though they actually believed what they preached more people would buy what they're selling.

I don't dislike the prequels either. They're not good but the originals weren't exactly high art either. The originals became classic because it was the first time sci-fi/fantasy had been made with a big budget and it captured peoples imaginations. TESB is the high point of the first 6 movies...

Yeah me too - that looks so good.

I haven't spent much time on it honestly but I've had a number of thoughts about ideas for Doctor Who/Star Trek crossover stories. Maybe one day when I have some time I might get to writing them down.

I've not heard of these journals and I work at a theological library. Are you able to provide more information? As far as I'm aware there's nothing surviving "from that day" only copies of copies of copies. The earliest surviving fragments of the Bible are dated to the 2nd century and they only...

Yeah no spoilers here at all :emoji_relaxed:
