Daleks, unless the stormtroopers could acquire sufficient numbers of Tom Baker's hat*, then it would take the entire 501st Stormtrooper Legion (the best of the best) to take out a single Imperial Dalek.

Uh, I already said I think Daleks would win in a fight. I just like Storm troopers better. They have cooler armour and stuff.


Matter of tatse I guess, I would love being in a Dalek suit, waving my Manipulator arm(the Plunger)at people while shouting "Exterminate!"

Stormies,hand down, theyve got the manpower to simply swarm over the daleks. Add to that the massive imperial navy and all those super weapons and they win.

The downplaying was intentional, and we are aware of the full aspects of what the TARDIS is. I've been watching Doctor Who since John Pertwee was The Doctor. ;)

True, that. But you do have to admit the Doctor has had some truly excellent adventures. :roll:

Still trying to get my wife, who has wonderfully curly red hair, to dress as Nyssa at DragonCon one of these years. She did an excellent "Tom Baker" costume for herself last year, including an 18' scarf she knit herself. But I think me as the 5th Doctor and her as Nyssa would be just too fun. ;)

I agree that DR WHO is 'excellent' (cues in electric guitars), but referring the most epic Sci-Fi series to ever come out of Britain (probably the world) to 2 idiots who simply kidnap important historical figures in Earths history just to pass an assignment without any concern for the space time continuum! (Finally breathes and takes a breath from his inhaler) is truly atrocious! DR WHO is epically awesome and is full of OOBER plots which seem to always make sense in the imposibility of it all, whist Bill and Ted (cues in electric guitars) is as scientifically correct as an ogre smashing his head with a rock whilst whistleling the Bulgarian national anthem!!! :palm: :palm: :twisted:

To its credit, Doctor Who is a lot more accessible to the public, in that so long as you watch the television program, you can get a very good idea of what’s going on and especially during the RTD era the new viewer way basically re-explained Doctor Who.

On the other hand, it seems as though the Star Wars franchise has been taken over the by the super fans and simply viewing the films is apparently not enough to fully understand all the elements of that franchise (admittedly I’m not a fan of the Star Wars series, and have only ever seen the films, which at best were unique).

Also is it just me, or did the Star Wars franchise simply get worse, with each new film. I mean it went from a rather unique planet destroying machine, to Stone Age teddy bears....

wow. chill. If you think I was seriously trying to compare The Doctor to Bill & Ted, then you really need to reread what I wrote, which was a couple smallish jokes and one-liners. Nowhere was there any comparison.

Besides, I am a true geek. I own an 18 foot multicolour scarf. :p

so there.

Well, the transition from A New Hope to The Empire Strikes Back was an improvement. After that, however, it's been falling like a rock.

Remember they went back and added the stupid numbers in. going by production order 4,5,6 suck. By the series time line its 1,2,3 that suck. What really ticks me off is that to get any of Episdoe 3 you have to watch the stupid clone wars miniseries. In the same time frame happening simultaneously they added another clone wars series and animated movie. All of which makes no sense whatsoever.

This exhibits one of the major flaws in the Star Wars franchise, which though probably should be blamed on the marketing department, since I for one had no idea who the hell that strange semi-robotic fellow was, and well the rest of the film felt forced.

Though the BBC has its flaws, I have to say that their policy of only making what was seen on television as canonical content is an excellent one.

I really don't see the point in comparing Star Wars to Doctor Who, It is just too obvious that the Doctor will pull ahead every time, Star wars cannot even come close to the BBC Sci-Fi.
Maybe comparing Star Wars and Star Trek, this might be easier,
hey, what an awesome idea!
I might start a thread bout this, WHO'S WITH ME!
