face=Arial>I'm glad I saw that Van Gogh one, first before this last episode... I
wouldn't have understood the reference at all, except the way you understand
most Dr Who references ... that he has been everywhere and knows everyone.
And, in my opinion, this last episode actually gives a scientific reason for
that. It was pretty good. I hate to hear that it wraps up a season.
are there 13 in each season? I guess so.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

character generation as Star Trek was. I still think the Holographic
doctor in Voyager is the best idea of that whole series. except, of
course, Data is an Asimov positronic robot from way back when and you can't do
much better than that for 40 or 50 years hanging around, until you get
miraculously brought to life in an entirely different medium. Asimov must be
slowly spinning around in his grave with a contented smile on his
face. He once wrote a story about a positronic car named Sally that
could drive you around and such. Just recently I sat in a Lexus that
parallel parked itself. Sally isn't far off. :-)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV><FONT face=Arial>John,<BR><BR>This is the first season with the new
doctor and writer/director. #13 was the season final and was on this
past Saturday at 9 PM SyFi channel. The Van Gogh (#10) one was
excellent. We have watched that one 3 times and love it. The
original air date and time is Saturdays at 9 PM. Then they have
been showing them in groups of 4 or 5 on 'On Demand' where most things are
free and limited commercials.<BR><BR>Through the years, there have only been
bits and pieces or what happened to the Doctor's world. Rather the
originals 40 some odd years ago had more, I do not know. All I remember
is that there was a war (surprise) and all the time travelers were killed
except for the Doctor.<BR><BR>Love the show.<BR><BR>Bill<BR></FONT><BR>On

I just found a whole bunch of Dr. Who's (the new one) on Pay Per View as
FREE. So I watched episode #6 through #10. Then just today #11 through #13
came available and I watched those. They were all really, really good. Well,
I like them anyway, don't know if that means they are actually good or not.
You know it's "art" and I don't know much about it, I just know what I like.
:-)
Anyway, any of you aficionados know whether these were a second year set or
third or fourth or could they be first? I have no idea. A couple of them
were about Van Gogh, one was about being in a dream reality or the real
reality and popping back and forth. In this last one #13 River just blew up
the Tardis and fixed all the cracks in Time. Does that place them for
anyone.
I also want to know if I find the first season will it explain how the
Doctor destroyed his home world? Also, is Van Gogh more of a thread than
these 2 episodes I saw? This is good fun stuff, I wonder why it's FREE?
By the way. Who is River?
I don't expect this to remain a thread for even one more posting. Anyone can
send direct to john@valar, but put Dr. Who in the subject if you know any of
this stuff.
John
By the way the episodes are quite long, maybe longer than an hour even.
