Oh. I didn't see that particular series. I sort of go on and off Doctor Who. Did the writer actually make Doctor Who gay? I am not gay but I have nothing against homosexuality. However, when I was growing up, I watched Doctor Who and I never thought that he was supposed to be gay. Maybe I was missing something. Was he meant to be gay but with only subtle references and then Russel T Davies comes along and made it very obvious that Doctor Who is gay? Which Doctor Who is your favourite? I always think of Tom Baker as the most famous Doctor Who. I'm not sure why. I haven't watched Doctor Who for a few years. I will take your advise and check out the new series. It sounds good. > As for Star Trek, I like all the 90's series such Next > generation, but dislike Enterprise and I find the original > appallingly badly written, problem with Sci-fi fform that > era (50's-60's) is that the writers thought because the > setting was out of this world, the characters and dialogue > had to be, The original could be very badly written. The costumes looked like pyjamas. The sets were cheap and unbelievable. But Kirk and Spok have a huge cult following and there are people who follow the series more than the films, even though the films are vastly superior (apart from Kirk's perm). Its partly a fun thing. > the only show from that era the doesnt really > do that is the Twilight zone, I've only seen a few > episodes but they've been some of best written TV I've > seen in a while and it came from the 1950's! I'm glad you brought "The Twilight Zone" up. It really was an excellent series. Only the black and white ones from the old days are great. Someone got the rights to do a new one in colour and that series is not very good. Its a pity that you have only seen a few of the old ones. The half hour episodes were some of the greatest short stories ever. You are right to talk about the writing. That was the secret of their success. Actually, the way you approached making "No Time Like The Future" sort of reminds me of the "Twilight Zone" attitude. If they gave you a much bigger budget, I think you could do a "Twilight Zone" episode. Maybe after a few years more practise. BTW, Wolf, please don't abandon the Favourite Films Thread. I can't remember what you thought about Stanley Kubrick. I will have to go back over the really huge thread that you created further down the page. | |
