The first actual episode? Or the first episode aired? You owe it to yourself to see it in proper order at least, then the characters actually make sense.
"I've been a Star Trek fan for 39 years, but I won't mourn the loss of Enterprise. Watching the series' continuity getted fscked up worse than Star Wars for the sake of mindless action and CGI was too much for me and I stopped watching it after the second season. "Good sci-fi?" I don't think so. "Too much to ask?" Yeah, pretty much."
Then you really shut yourself out from some top notch stuff. The 4th season (minus the 2 episodes at the start getting rid of the time travel crap) has been excellent. Shit I'd pay just to see more Commander Shran, good actor well played character. Some people also liked season 3, but I have mixed feelings about it.
I think it's hard to say any particular doctor was bad in and of the actor. Each one brought something to the character and created a new identity. I liked Hartnell for the old coot who did care underneath, Troughton for his IMO rather upbeat attitude (and fur coat)Pertwee for as someone else put it, "ass kicking dandy". Baker, often peoples favorite, was quirky, had a winning smile and good delivery. Davidson I think let his companions be more major characters and this diminished his role slightly, but he was a more serious doctor. C. Baker was slightly insane to start and settled into a decent character IMO. I saw less of the last Baker and McCoy then any of the others so I would like to catch them some time. The Master is also someone who had several actors (3 at least) and I think much like the Doctor each actor (while looking remarkably alike) was able to give him his own twist. Maybe someday there will be a companion series to Dr. Who about The Master or renegade timelors in general.
Sorry for the rambling.
I wish more of the early episodes had not been lost to us, but I have hope someday someone will pick up all the scripts and re-make things without screwing it up.
BBC America showed a short run of something called Velvet Soup. All I can find out about it is it's a Scottish comedy group. Any chance some people across the ocean might know where I can find it?
"Look upon it as a stage play then; apparently, the early Who stories *were* pretty theatrical (e.g. characters move off a short distance and talk as if the other characters are out of earshot), though I haven't really seen enough to comment."
My favorate occurance of this is in "The Five Doctors" where the 2 cybermen go off to talk about killing The Master once he has shown them how to get into the whatever of Rassalon.
I keep wishing The Master would say "I can still hear you".
Strangely this is I think the only time you feel for him as he gets shafted right and left by everyone.
The result will vary based on the design of the engine more then anything else. This is because all engines have an optimal range to operate in and usually it's tuned to something near highway speed. By going significantly over thie speed it operates best at it has to do ever more work out of it's most efficient operating range. Driving into a strong wind will hurt your mileage as well.
Probably for the same reason it's illegal in other states. If the engine is not engaged you have no throttle control, no engine braking for if your brakes cut out. No ability to speed up if you need to get out of someones way. It sounds silly but I think I understand the point of it. Everyone thinks they are a careful driver and never will be in an accident, but it often happen when you least expect it.
If you have been bothering to actually pay attention to most of the relief groups working to help deal with the Tsunami you would know that most of them have stopped accepting monetary donations and suggest you find something else to do with your spare money. They have the $$$ to do relief and aid, what they need is people, materials and transport/distribution.
Why not sell all your possessions and go out to the 3rd world and make it a better place? Surely you being the big person that you are should have no issue with doing that kind of work. In fact all/. should do this, we should completely halt all activity on earth until we sort out Iraq, the Tsunami and 3rd word poverty.
Sorry about the sarcasm but I'm tired of people being asshats woith the whole "you could save the whales!" bs line of posting.
I've been looking but cant seem to find power conditioning stuff for the home. All I seem to find on google is industrial companies selling to big box stores and office buildings. Do you have any specific suggestions of manufacturers or products?
Never let the ACs get you down. Or the logged in posters. At least your posts were worth reading and some of the responses were thought provoking so I say kudos for making/. worth it today.
Can you read? Look at how many/. poster lament not having UPN to even dream of watching Enterprise. Thats what I mean by poor market showing. Nice attack at the start there, good way to make a presuasive argument. UPN doesn't have the market penetration of its big brother, CBS, or even that of rival network, The WB. From what I can see Cable on average has much better penetration (basic cable) then UPN.
This would be a horrible failure of crap. Seriously look up in this/. discussion for some fanboy's idea how enterprise should end. Crap fanfiction should never be allowed near the production staff.

This might sound like crazy talk but Sci-Fi can be made without aliens. Or even with aliens but not needing creature shop level makeup.
In fact early tapers are the only reason we have some of the old episodes that were otherwise purged.
Sure you can. As much as I like "Doctor'in the Tardis" all they did was rip off "Rock and Roll Part II" then add some Dr. Who samples and lyrics.

Bad news, there is an American version of The Office being made.
Frankly they would have been better off making an Office Space TV series.

Dont be disturbed about GTA, it's not much wors then a action or gangster movie.
Manhunt however is a game entirely made for adults and should not be in the hands of childern.

One man's "Robust" is another man's "Piece of cake".
There will be a modchip/board in the underground just like there is for (as of now) all console game systems.
CESCA?
Nahhh sounds like someone from Star Trek: Voyager
It needs to have an acronym that means something like USAPATRIOT!
While that is quite a good connection, we were talking about Enterprise not Nemesis or did I just fall into another dimension?

I dont recall that group of temporal cold warriors being vampires.

I'm sure thats against the DMCA or violating one of MAcrovisions patents.

Because they canceled Total Recall 21whatever years ago.
Maybe that would be a good way to do it. Screw finding some shit network to broadcast it, put it out on DVD and let the fans buy it.
