“Patrick Stewart’s acting really added class to TNG. My wife saw “The Inner Light” last week and was moved to tears. Stewart’s presence is indeed, “acting of the highest order.”

I share that particular episode with everyone I know. I am not an overly sensitive dude , but that episode gets me everytime.

I think it touches on something that is missing or a loss. Not sure. But, at the very least…PStewart does an excellent job in the episode.

The only person I want to see as the 11th Doctor is Alexander Siddig.
Someone cited his name on facebook as someone they would like to see and the more I thought about it, the more excited I got.
I’m going to see Hamlet at the beginning of September. I’m looking forward to it.
Apparently David Tennant has already given his decision to the BBC regarding continuing on as The Doctor…
Apologies for going off-topic!
As for the poster, I too thought Yelchin looked like Bashir, and Sulu looked like Kim. Hmmm…

if you like your Doctor Who preachy and self-righteous, Pertwee and nu-Who is right up your street. Personally, I think Pertwee’s era is overrated tosh looked back on with rose-tinted nostalgia by a bunch of 40-somethings who haven’t seen them in years! The same will happen with Eccleston and Davies-era Tennant, sooner or later!

Even when Tom Baker’s shows were at their silliest, they benefited from the likes of Douglas Adams’s wit (yes WIT) and didn’t need to stoop to belch and fart gags aimed at chavs! I was very young in the latter days of Tom Baker although I remember very well season 18 when John Nathan Turner ripped the heart out of the show and kept on killing K9!

For me, my favourite Doctors are Tom Baker and Patrick Troughton. they were oddball and alien, but also had a sense of sophistication and maturity not seen in the modern Doctor Whos. Ironically, the most Doctor-ish character in the nu-Who era is Sarah Jane Smith!

Sorry but Jolene looked quite hot while I listened to her talk here at the convention. Her responses to the crowd’s questions were quietly humorous and thoughtful.

#11: yeah, nice BUT I much prefer the 1964 or 65 Ford Falcon Sprint (coupe), my dream car! That car is really suh-weeeeeeeet!

BUT then Bana’s is an Australian Falcon. American Ford division really goofed when they discontinued the Falcon back in the 1970s… they tried to revive the name but got sued by Pep Boys (ssssssssssss) when they built the new Ford Fusion.

(whoops, this is a Star Trek site, not Ford muscle cars … heh heh heh)

So learn from the failure (#fail) of Comic Con lack of apperance. Show footage of new trek film at convention. Wow, non use of fans is somewhat understood but it had better work. Trek is in trouble man, and so far movie studio is not using the gorilla or viral marketing technique at this point. I’m just saying, it’s 2008 / 2009. Use the net, use myspace, use facebook, use Twitter, use -oh my the Lord of Kobal may forbid- startrek.com Please Trek people do not frack this up.

#33: Hear, hear. Peter Davison is “my” doctor (I started right at the beginning of Castrovalva and had to figure out what a regeneration was), but David Tennant has become _the_ Doctor to me, in every important sense. Whoever follows him will have some very big shoes (and relatively scrawny suits) to fill.

That said, I do officially love them all – even Colin Baker, although I hated him as a kid (imagine the trauma of starting on mild, amiable Davison and then leaping unexpectedly into the face of Baker — scarred for life, but these days I appreciate him a lot more).

David Tennant, to me, is The Doctor by which all past, present, and future doctors are to be judged… and I also grew up on mostly Tom Baker and Peter Davison also.

Is it just me or is there a hint of young Bill Shatner in that photo of Chris Pine? My Chris Pine approval rating has gone up a notch just with that one photo.
