Slashdot Mirror

Maybe the spider - now free of the confines of Earths atmosphere - was able to teleport to his home planet Metebelis. http://www.drwhoguide.com/who_3Z.htm

Re: Say someone came to your home, took your face, robbed you of your fingerprints, and any other identifying marks on your person.

You mean with a hobby knife or something? Like the Slitheen? I guess it's possible, but identity fraud using copied personal details sounds less messy.

As every Dr. Who fanboy knows, the tenth planet is named Mondas. http://www.drwhoguide.com/who_2d.htm/. What is slashdot coming to?

Yes, truely bad theme.

...then it HAS to be Mondas. But it's late! It should have reached perihelion in 1986.

Aw, man! Does this mean that we're going to have to deal with Primords? At least the BBC has prepared for this by bringing Dr. Who back...

The blue eye thing was more than one line in a script! It was about three minutes at the end of The Horror of Fang Rock devoted to explaining the eye color change.

Of course, the revival of the Master in Mark of the Rani was never well-explained, and we never did figure out how they got the Tardis back after Timelash

(These things are Dr. Who's version of the "Why do Klingons look different in TOS?" problem that Star Trek has)

The suggestion in that episode is trumped by the explicit mention in Mawdryn Undead.

In a 1984 interview with John Nathen-Turner, when asked about the regeneration issue, he casually said "We'll just write the scripts to deal with the issue". Hopefully in a better way than how the Master survived "Planet of Fire".

I recall a Dr. Who episode along these lines... maybe it was the one where Leela first came on-board?

[Google to the rescue:] Yep, The Face of Evil at the point where Leela gets stuck with a Janus thorn.

There were two.

The Shadow in the Glass with the Sixth Doctor.

Timewyrm: Exodus with the Seventh Doctor.

Hope this helps...

Snakedance.

why can't you just do the nice thing and say "Good Job guys keep it up!" instead of "crap we better get our arses in gear before the japs send their robots to control us"

Because it's SONY.

If Japanese or American government researchers or universities build a robot that can run, the logical reaction is to think, "Wow, that is truly a step forward for mankind."

If Sony or Time-Warner builds a robot that can run, the logical reaction is to think, "OH HOLY FUCK THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD ROBOT DEATH ARMIES
WILL BE RUNNING AFTER US HIDE SOMEWHERE".

Anyway, you should be afraid. Robots that can walk and run means mankind has lost their only defense against the robots-- climbing up a rope.

The entire script used to be online, but I can't seem to find it anymore. A shame, because it had some funny lines in it.

If you've read Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, you already have a vague idea of Shada's premise. Adams re-used some characters in Shada to create DGHDA.

Anyway, check out the detailed plot summary. A fun story.
