I wish the Morbius Doctors were canon so we could...
thenotoriousscuttlecliff:
Who were these guys? What sort of adventures did they have? Who did they travel with? Why did so many of them have beards? Were they locked in some sort of epic beard-off with the Master?
Why does the Morbius Doctor played by Robert Banks Stewart look like John Hurt, if you squint a bit?

Crazy random happenstances: My theory for the... →
dakotatk421:
I think John Hurt is the doctor that killed the time-lords and the daleks before he chose the name “the doctor”. Then, after he ended the time war, he decided on the name “the doctor”. The doctor seemed to make a big deal about the name you choose as a “promise”. Then I thought that maybe…
The problem with that theory is that Gallifrey exists in the classic series, long...

is every British actor in Doctor Who
Waaay back in 1995, when my wife was doing a job search, she got an interview at a university in West Virginia. That evening, there was a party or dinner and my wife struck up a conversation with a British gentleman then on the faculty of that school, a fellow by the name of Roger Jerome.
It turns out that he had been in a Troughton era Doctor...

After making a mere $84 million at the U.S. box office, Star Trek Into Darkness is considered by some to be a disappointment. Perhaps the problem is that it was a touch confusing. To help our readers better understand it, we’ve complied and…
Well, I laughed.

OK I THINK THE DOCTOR WHO 50TH CAN BE SALVAGED!
What if the villain is The Doctor himself!?
Ok, so we know that there will be a new version of The Doctor in the 50th. One that is a “lost” regeneration. Well, what if HE is the villain!? A version of The Doctor that turned evil after the tragedy of The Time War that managed to escape after Clara and The Doctor went into...

does anybody else realize that the paternoster gang is literally translated to the we-brothers gang?
It’s been decades since I studied Latin, but surely it’s “Our Father”.
Pater=Father. Frater=Brother
A paternoster is also, apparently, a type of elevator first built in 1884 and popular in continental Europe during the early part of the...

John Hurt is to my knowledge generally not considered an American actor. He was born, raised, educated and trained in England. His stage, television, and film career has been primarily in English productions.
William Hurt is American, and actor John Heard is American.

“Kneel before Zod, son of Jor-El!”
shield-agent-merrick:
I can’t help myself any time I see “natural” used like it’s an inherently positive thing.
I kind of mentally flash back to one time I saw this video of a “natural” raw food nut claiming it’s ok to eat anything natural because “Do you think God would put something here that would harm us?”
and I literally yelled at the television “YES!” and spent the next hour mentally...

knucklechuffed:
I noticed the rebuttal post saying “it’s like how they said that Russel Davies was ruining the show!” disappeared. yeah, that’s right; RTD may have done some good things for the show, he was very passionate and enthusiastic about it, but he also ran it into the ground, and it was, indeed, cancelled, for a long time.
I think Moffat is doing the same thing that RTD did—only worse,...

So wait, did anybody else notice that they finally got seat belts installed on the Enterprise?
I mean, it only took them eleven movies in which people went flying every which way across the bridge anytime there was a bump.
The seats got lap restraints in Star Trek: The Motion Picture back in 1979, where they were shown to work on Kirk’s command chair in the wormhole...

The only people complaining about the new Star Trek movie are those who don’t understand the links between JJ’s version and the older movies. While I value the “new” fan’s opinions, I would encourage them to do research before spouting off. I would encourage anyone to do research before spouting…

Saw it a little while ago
Non-spoiler thoughts.
It’s… Meh.
It’s got some good action, gorgeous visuals and…. that’s pretty much it.
If that’s all you want, go ahead. If you’re wanting a plot that has characters acting intelligently and making sense? Nope.
