OT: And I Thought We Were All A Little Geeky...

[trekgeezer]

I was like 24.7% or something like that on the geek test.  


I've seen episodes featuring every  Doctor  Who..

Most people in the U.S. always associate Tom Baker with the role and he did play the Doctor  longer than anyone else.  Jon Pertwee  is my favorite because he was the most action oriented  of the Doctors. Exiled on Earth for breaking the Timelords rules he worked for a United Nations organization called UNIT.  He used Venusian karate and was the first  Doctor to use the sonic screwdriver, plus he had a couple of  verhicles, Bessie and the Whomobile.

It was very interesting  how the Doctor  evolves in each of his regenerations.  One thing remained the same in all incarnations, he is arrogant. The regeneration thing itself was a gimmick to get around the fact that the actor (William Hartnell ) who played the Doctor was too frail to continue.  

BBC is in the process of  beginning production on a new Doctor Who series.  Real Whovians will know this already, but  here is the link to the BBC's cult page about  Doctor Who.  It includes a 1,200 page episode guide.

By the way, is this geeky enough for you ?

Hopefully the BBC will have the good sense not to mess with the formula too much and will just let them get back to making new episodes. Also hopefully, they'll ignore the US made movie and start with Sylvestor McCoy's regeneration into a new doctor. Unfortunately, they'll probably want to "update" it, or "put a new spin" on it and destroy the appeal that the original had.

Lies.  All LIES.

Yeah, I probably am.  Hence the name.

How long have you known me?

If you have to ask, you don't need to know, Grompy.

And that was intentional.  Drip.
