One point I will carry over from the last thread- DoctorWhat, while Time Force did carry a lot of elements from TimeRanger, the most important aspect of the show that defined it as TRYING to be more of a genre series was an entirely American creation and idea.

Ransik. Ransik was the much needed human face on the central conflict that made up the core of Time Force, and has no REAL equal in the Sentai version. The fact that they got Bennet from loving Commando to play him is only icing on the cake.



THUS IS THE RANGER CHAT NERDERY.

Generally, I think American villains help the series better, given how popular RPM, Dino Thunder, etc are. Lifting villains directly from the Sentai makes them more lazy, as seen with the Neo Saban seasons. Dino Charge having a American villain bodes well.

Why isn't the PR thread more active? :saddowns:

I'm kind of new to the Secret Santa thing, as well as this thread in general, but I like console and handheld games involving 3D platforming, adventure, and collectathons, candy and food, and books. Pretty simple all around, but I hope someone's nice enough to get me something.

Examples of what I want are along the lines of, but are not

Banjo Tooie

Fantasy Life

Okami

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

I'm really interested in urban fantasy novels and sci fi novels that are more "soft" in genre, but I've never had a Doctor Who book before. I have only the first book of the Dresden Files, but most of Discworld up to Wintersmith.

Good luck, Secret Santa! :)

Oh my GOD I didn't even spy that.

Oh God why did River have to turn into....what she became...

Because Moffat had to make her IMPORTANT and IMPOSSIBLE, and that meant overloading people with her beyond a mere two episodes where she's shown as fallible and more down to Earth.

But that's just my guess.

I love how quickly everyone shifted from "Ew, a female Master" to "Wow, this is the best Master we've had in years!"

Note: the disgust was more from other more knee jerk forums. I was more worried Moffat would make her extra feminine to compensate.

I don't know if I can post images, but my Santa was nice enough to combine my two favorite things, books and sweets! I've never had Berger cookies, and it's been ages since I read a CYOA book specially the Fourth Doctor adventure Doctor Who and the Vortex Crystal, but now I have something to occupy myself for Christmas Eve :toot:

Thank you for the Celebration book, Maera. I didn't realize there was a part 2 to my gift, so I was very surprised when a big oblong package appeared.

I feel like a super cheapskate only buying Bobkatt one thing. :stonk:

Ahahhaah, wow this this only goes through five Doctors, this will be the most ironic piece of literature I have ever seen.

I'll come back in when I've had a chance to watch the episode but just wanted to say BSam: thanks for the wife-scarer! There's nothing like quietly moving a standee into the doorway of a room that someone's just entered.



And the book looks pretty awesome too!



How did two separate Santas both think about Festival of Death?

So, um

remember that pipe-dream New Doctor Who Wiki?

I, um, may have bought the domain "dwwiki.net" today. I may be soliciting article-writers to deliver written-from-scratch synopses for every TV story and mini-sode since 2005. I may actually be starting this ridiculous thing and looking for help in getting it off the ground.

I may be posting some more detailed plans and cries for aid this time next week.
