I must say, having never seen even one episode of Ten, that is still hysterical. And the best explanation for the Doctor's behaviour I have seen. But it's more important that it's hysterical.

There are certain Doctors who are... very good at scenery-chewing and having elastic faces. Ten is one of them. Also, IMHO, Seven and Four.

Can I just say, I just LOVE that icon.
You are actualy starting to make me want to watch star trek. (I have never seen a single episode, just know bit from refences from Doctor Who and Stargate and Atlantis)

But but but but Star Trek is Classic! Well, Classic Trek is Classic.

Mind you, I have absolutely no idea if it will stand up to today's audiences, considering that I first saw it when I was, like, six years old...
I suppose you could look at it as a window on the world of forty years ago, on what they thought the Future would be like. Golly. It really was that long ago...

Was it 40 yeaers old? I think after my exams i will watch the Clasic Star Trak episodes.

I just checked: 1966 to 1969. That makes about 40 years from 2007.

You know, it astonishes me that things like "it's not all about Martha, or all about Rose" even need to be said. Anybody who can look at the Doctor and see a man who is primarily motivated by romantic infatuation is clearly not watching the same program I am.

It's interesting how many different things that ep. seems to remind people of... Me, I was having massive deja vu for "Planet of Evil."

Now that icon is just absolutely perfect.

It's by nostalgia_lj, and it makes me laugh. :)

[kerravonsen]

It makes me laugh too. 8-)
