So I was just thinking...

Post by Bryan Moore »

Starfleet sure runs into lots of problems around the turn of the stardate calendar. 439xx the borg, 449xx the klingon civil war, 469xx the borg again, 509xxx Dominion War, etc. Works great for cliffhangers, but you'd think Starfleet would start putting together some sort of Badass New Year's Task Force! Save lots of problems =)

Heh, soon enough it'll be like Christmass Eve in Doctor Who, with people heading for the hills at new year's. :)

Ya, but at least we know it's christmas eve there. The average, less attentive fan wouldn't really notice the stardate thing. Does anyone know why every season premier episode of Doctor Who starts on Christmas eve?

Those aren't season premiers - they're one-off specials separate from either of the series bracketing them. As for the timing, they're broadcast of Chrismas Day, so it makes sense to have a festive theme to them.

:shock: say what? Lousy Brits. That makes sense though. I didn't know that. Over here they were broadcast as season premiers. I remember rolling my eyes last year when the season premier took place on christmas eve again. I thought the wedding lady was going to become the new companion. Then the next episode that night was when Martha showed up.

The wedding lady, played by Catherine Tate, is been brought back as the new companion for the upcoming series; Much to the horror of most people (including me). She is, the BBC keeps telling us, a hugely popular, brillant comedian. I've yet to meet anybody who finds her remotely funny.

She did, however, do alright in the Christmas special she was in, so hopfully Donna will be considerably less irritating than most of Tate's characters.

I know. She's incredibly annoying, and nowhere near funny. :x

Wow, the whole thing went off-topic at the first reply!
Isn't that some kind of record?

Seeing as it's tough to make an off-topic first post, I'd call this a record!

Yahoo!!! The DITL Penchant has been displayed again.

Anyway, The Tate-woman. What a crappy comedian. I've seen her stuff and it was crap! Even the discusting comedy you'd find in little Britain (Old ladies wetting themselves) is better than Tate!
