Just once I'd like to see some Traveller designs in one of these things. I mean, if they've got WH40K . . .

I'll give you that no one quite ever hit the level of Michael Wisher, but Julian Bleach came damn close. Less scientific curiosity, more batshit insanity, but by that point in the character's existence it makes sense.

Intergalactic?

Been a while since I've read the novelization of "The Abominable Snowmen," but I'm pretty sure the Yog-Sothoth thing was first brought up in one of the New Adventures novels, which are ridiculously non-canonical at this point.

"Winter is coming" is a recurring phrase in Game of Thrones.

Ditto

I really want Clara to be a Time Lord who chameleon arched herself into a human but found a way to give her human self serial mortality.

Depends on your definition of "alien." She's from Earth, yes, but 65 million years ago might well qualify as "not around here."

I'm calling Thea as the copycat. They've set her up nicely for the role.

Does Spock's jacket look rather Romulan to anyone but me?

I think Tintin had better name recognition, even before the movie, than Asterix ever had in the states.

It's been a while since I've read the book, but are we sure that's actually supposed to be Spock? I thought "The Final Reflection" was almost exclusively set in TOS's past and told from the point of view of a Klingon ambassador to the Federation.

What we really need is those editions with at least the sound quality they had in the 1970s and 80s. The video is OK, although I'm not sure if they remastered it or just did a transfer, but the 2.1 sound? They're the movies THX was *invented* for, for crying out loud!

Pacific Rim's tech is starting to sound like BattleTech's.

Clones are essentially in vitro twins, with the potential additional quirk that the environments they gestate in could be *vastly* different. Any bit of appearance that isn't 100% genetic - and height, weight, eye and hair color, even sex are somewhat environmentally determined - could be different between any two…

That would be the above-mentioned "Earthshock." I always thought "Attack of the Cybermen" was pretty good, too.

"Revenge of the Cybermen" was when they started getting nerfed. They weren't allergic to gold in "The Tenth Planet," "The Moonbase," "Tomb of the Cybermen," or "The Invasion."

I still maintain that Pete's World *is* Mondas. I think the anti-cyber forces either died or were forced off planet and the Cybermen somehow shifted the whole world into the Whoniverse's past.

I'm kind of hoping it turns out he was being hunted on the island.

I kind of got the impression it was already in the ex-Queen Industries factory he took over.
