dc20willsave Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 We get it Steve. You're a big fan of Rosemary Harris but it's been over two years since they announced that Sally Field was taking over the role of Aunt May for the Spider-man films. You need to move on and realize that this isn't the thread to express your trepidation over the matter. That said, bravo Gentlemen. I heartily look forward to this new venture.

SteveJRogers Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 On topic, I know what you've guys have said about licences comics in the episode, and in other episodes, but of the Doctor Who series that have been done through the years, that you've read, what have been some of your favorites?

Dan Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 The Doctor Who Magazine strip is very uneven and tends to be not all that great, but the Tom Baker era had decent stuff from Dave Gibbons which is available in Doctor Who Classics from IDW. Over the years, Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, Paul Cornell, and Gareth Roberts have all done some good work. The Forgotten was a fun story as well, with Pia Guerra art I enjoyed. And as I mentioned in the show, I've quite liked Tony Lee's work on the current IDW series. The stories aren't brilliant, but he gets the voices spot on.

KnightWing Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Neat. I'm super-excited. So have you nailed down how many Trek episodes you'll be doing per TEOF episode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Two, similar to what we do now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 So... 350+ TEOF episodes. Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 I read that as, "We want to put off as much time before having to watch Spock's Brain." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koete Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Yeah! I assumed it was going to be a Mr. Belvedere podcast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shining knight Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 So we'll be going from the original series to the duchess mccrazypants era....(watch sfdebris vids if you don't get why I am referring to Archer as such) covering the movies too I assume?

Dan Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 The details aren't 100% ironed out, but in all likelihood, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkylerQ91 Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 As a person who knows quite a bit about Trek but hasn't seen a lick of it (unless you are counting the reboot films and Wrath of Kahn aka the most basic things that everybody has seen) I've interested in how I will like this new show. I was always the kind of person who had to watch something from the very start, and watching the reboot without actually seeing the TOS felt like I hadn't earned it or something but that sort of broke down when I finally jumped into the Who fandom. They are very similar to me in that way actually. I hope it will bring me full force into fandom like I feel I ought to be. As for Mike's theory on The Big Bang 2 leading to Star Trek no longer being a TV show... that doesn't quite work as the women who is killed by Silence in the White House Bathroom asks it if it is wearing a Star Trek mask. Sorry, Mike! Any other possible explanations? Because things like that honestly irk me as well. -Skyler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 She meant to say "Star Wars," but was so flustered by the alien in front of her she said "trek," because she thought about that time she took a trek down to the costume shoppe to buy a Halloween mask?

SteveJRogers Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Isn't one of the Star Trek series one of the series that connects to the "It's all in the kid's snow globe" theory about St. Elsewhere? Sooooo...where does Doctor Who slide into that snow globe? = Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Actually, Knight Rider is the show that pulls Trek into the St. Elsewhere globe, just because two 20th-Century scientists in the two shows share the same name.

SteveJRogers Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Actually, Knight Rider is the show that pulls Trek into the St. Elsewhere globe, just because two 20th-Century scientists in the two shows share the same name. LOL! Personally, I think trying to tie in as many shows into that globe is one of those things that give obsessed fans of TV shows bad reps, unless you are trying to "prove" why it was a dumb way to end the series, and that's a pretty good example of why! As opposed to the fun of reliving playing with your toys as a child and crossing the streams and jokingly fanwanking "excuses" for direct references and homages on podcasts.

Consider it payback for the Aunt May wisecrack last page = BTW, Mike, can this be used to prove Teen Titans, once and for all, was NOT in DCAU continuity? = http://dwaynemcduffie.com/?p=47 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
