Sadly, she now runs around with guns shooting Sontarans invaders.

I knew you meant Martha. Sadly. Someone sure as heck better FIX that crappy turn of events. And I thought she was engaged? She and Mickey aren't right together, either.

Someone was out to lunch when someone else was allowed to slip that in.

One of the things I've always loved about Doctor Who is the theme song. Although Ron Grainer was the composer, it was Delia Derbyshire who really brought Grainer's into fruition but due to some technicality she couldn't get a credit as a co-composer. This song and the works of Delia Derbyshire paved the way for modern forms of electronica and techno; even Orbital, who remixed the DW theme (OMG awmesome!!, has cited Derbyshire as inspirational.

Out of all the different ones they've made over the years, the original is still the best, but the newer themes with the "chase" theme in the background are ones I like too. And the Eighth Doctor themes (BFA and the TV movie) are pretty cool.

I like Star Trek but I like Doctor Who better, is anyone else here a fan?

OH, YES! Big Whovian here. But, my first love is Star Trek. I've been watching the original series since I was three. I didn't discover Doctor Who until the early 80's when I was about to enter highschool. I Love them both. OH...and David Tennant...such a dish.... ¿

Matt and Karen are touring the UK with The Eleventh Hour. Doctor Who UK tour Sounds like fun! And did anyone see the 3D SFX Magazine cover with the Doctor and Amy? I am gobsmacked at how brilliant it is. Beat that Cameron, you smary bastard! We've heard a lot from Mister Smith, but what about Karen... Quote What can you tell us about Amy? Amy is an incredibly sasy young lady. She's not just the Doctor's companion, she's a person in her own right. She's Amy Pond, and she doesn't always take the Doctor's word as gospel. She's very skeptical of him and doesn't trust everything he says. She's kind of this alpha female and the Doctor's the ultimate alpha male, so together they have this interesting dynamic where they're on a par and they really bounce off each other. So yeah, it's an interesting pairing. You've done comedy with The Kevin Bishop Show. Is Amy going to be funny? Amy is very, very witty. I think that's one of the big things about her, actually. And Steven is a really incredibly funny and he's given her some great one-liners, and she can really reel them off.

Sadly the tour is a kids only event

What about the BBC Big Screen versions? Are you going to try to go to one?

See that's what I'm talking about. It shows just enough to show you that what's beneath that cloth used to be human but it leaves the true horror of they've done to themselves to your imagination. Add in those wrong sounding sing-song voices that pour out of their open mouths and you get something quite disturbing.

they only RARELY reference the "full" original theme, and then in a sad, slow variant in the background, but I kinda wish they WOULD re-do it with the full modern treatment. the recent opening credits theme always sounds incomplete to me.

Is there a precedent for Time Lords switching gender? Not that it matters, of course.

But that might get us into a Jadzia Dax and ex situation.
