Besides, I can be just as smarmy and sarcastic as the Doctor, and I'd just end up punching him in the mouth sooner or later.
Yeah, really a trip with the Doctor and I would just turn into Thunderdome: TARDIS Edition.

Rantan and Babooshka. Aren't they cuuuuuute!

You aren't meant to understand pets, you are meant to serve them.
yeah I guess Martha left cause she liked the Doctor but she wasn't very mentally stable with relationships. I mean she expressed deep feelings for him immediately. She then moved on like as soon as she left cause she was engaged within a few months.

Says the person obsessed with gender pronouns. Katefan is a guy; he's said so several times now.

So please, get it right: Crazy cat guy... :P

Is anyone else here amused by the fact that the member of our board who's obsessive over people using the correct gender pronouns got someone else's gender mixed up?

That was on purpose, as a joke. Because you always hear about the "crazy cat lady", but he's a guy which is why it was funny. I was actually expecting to point out that Chakats are cat-like.

Perhaps superficially. But with all the other amazingly huge differences, I'd call the facial resemblance convergent evolution more than anything else.

The thing about adventuring with the Doctor is that since he has a time machine, you could easily spend a few years travelling and then have him drop you off 10 minutes after you left. Your life doesn't have to suffer!

That's the theory. Given the Tardis' track record on reliability it's not a theory I'd like to test.

Actually Chakats were genetically engineered, not evolved.

One of the interesting things about the new series is that the Tardis seems to be far more reliable than it ever used to be. He missed by a year when he took Rose home the first time, but for the most part he hits what he aims at. In the past there were cases of companions who desperately wanted to go home, and took years (subjective) to manage it.

Wow...it was even more unreliable? I suppose it had even more trouble with actually flying too.

It was generally a lot more reliable after "The Three Doctors", although with plenty of hiccups. The new series simply seems to be following that pattern.

For the first decade of the programme, piloting the Tardis was very much a case of "press go and wonder where you'll end up". It wasn't untill after the events of "The Three Doctors" that the Doctor was able to exert a modicum of control over the thing.

So you're providing your own evidence of the fact that they're not felines?

As far as the TARDIS - I'm not up on the new 'Who - is it still unable to become anything other than a phone booth?

Fact that TARDIS was able to pull Earth millions of lightyears smoothly shows that its gotten a lot better. Now granted he had six pilots but he's still getting better.

None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.
