What's he on about now?

In case the articles, essays and opinions throughtout this site just weren't enough for you, here's my online diary (a.k.a. 'blog'). It's as close as you'll come to the inside of my head, so don't say I didn't warn you

   RESISTANCE IS USELESS

I've gone minutes without a "Doctor Who" update! Today we got a doozy as the BBC unveiled the new Cybermen -- remodelled and ready to "convert"!

The introduction of the pacemaker in the late 1950's got Dr. Kit Pedlar wondering what would be the (il)logical endpoint of artificial organ replacement. He teamed up with "Doctor Who" writer Gerry Davies and their new villains debuted in 1966. Facing the environmental collapse of their own world, the Cybermen replaced their "frail and weak" human bodies with technology but their need to survive developed into the conquest and "cyberconversion" of all other species as well. (To the ongoing irritation of "Doctor Who" fans, "Star Trek" took this ball and ran with it!)

After the new Doctor gets his act together during 'The Christmas Invasion', he'll be back to fend off these soulless cyborgs next spring.
Hopefully.
