Silly? I thought that "The Impossible Planet" and "The Satan Pit" were the best of Season 2. #16: “Almost stopped watching at the end of series 2 with that silly demon pit arc.”

After leaving victorian england, the tardis jumps out of time-vortex-wormhole thingy only to find the Enterprise-E right beside it doing some stellar-cartografic technobabble. An invisible creature that has attached itself to the outside of the tardis and jumps into the E's computer saying, "Redjak, Redjak Redjak..... hahahaha!", murders troy and leaves Geordi holding the blade. The Doctor channels a Moc-Tar sealth chant though his sonic screwdriver/swizzle stick to force the alien to leave, but in the process, the "E" loses all of the historical documents and it's beryllium sphere. Live long and never surrender! How about a Trek-Who Crossover?

It's already getting into this type of thing again I believe, and that is just a distraction to the episodes. Patrick Stewart MIGHT make for a more interesting addition however, as he at least has a certain gravitas...but I wouldn't care for another 'stiff' Doctor after the energy of the two recent ones... Oh, and the wonderful Jon Pertwee and the style of of his episodes were always my favourites :) ...with Tom Bakers and Christopher Eccleston's a close second.

He seems a bit too hammy in his roles - outside of Picard, for the most part - to be on the show... he's starting to be a bit too much like Shatner...

So if Stewart were to get a big part I think it would need to be a baddie or a strong historical figure. As for Tennant, he is confirmed for a 2010 season, but beyond that I think it is possible he will wish to move on. Apparently filming the series is extremely demanding on an actors' time (one reason Billie Piper left) and by 2010 he will have been associated with the role for quite a while. That said they'd do well to try to keep him on as long as possible. He is not perhaps the most popular Doctor *ever* ( Tom Baker was just as huge in his 1970s heyday, and still is!), but I think Tennant is a very strong second and is certainly the most instantly associated actor with the role since Baker. (Pertwee perhaps coming third). Tellingly, he has also been able to extend this popularity to the US just as Baker did.

The star of Star Trek and X Men - it'd be tremendous. Remember Patrick used to appeared in BBC productions before he became the Sci Fi mega star hes been from 1987 onwards..stuff like Play for Today, I Claudius, Tinker Tailor Soilder Spy, Hamlet etc.....as soon as he wrapped up Star Trek and X Men in hollywood he came back to the UK and to theatre and tv (11th Hour) ...plus he appeared in BBCs Extras sending himself up in the best episode of that series. I can see this happening.... Patrick Stewert appearing in Dr Who would be the biggest coup for the show like EVER!
