Hi Dark, Oh, cool. Do you have a favorite Dr. Who?
I think my favorite is Tom Baker. I still think he was probably one of the best. Then again, that's the series I watched most as a kid and there were some really good shows during that series. I didn't like the older DR. Who shows from the 60's because they were in black and white, and while the shows themselves were good I didn't like anything that wasn't in color. Especially, when i started losing my eye sight as it made it harder to see. As for Star Trek you are right. I'm sure they'd like to make a new series or whatever, but Enterprise was a flop. I was a huge Star Trek fan for years, but I just couldn't get into Enterprise that much. It was ok, but it wasn't as good as Next Gen or Voyager wich were my favorites. For one thing I wanted to see what happens after TNG, DS9, and Voyager, and instead they decided to go back to before the classic series and rewrite history. That sucked. On top of it the plot holes, continuity, etc just killed it for me. Cheers!
