Besides, on the general bit about the show "declining" in rating during Capaldi...it totally makes sense, given the show began huge under Tennant and Smith (and indeed peaked, as mentioned, by the time Day of the Doctor), and it is as simple as "the Doctor as a really old, grumpy and...

I'll be honest here: The Berman era might be THE definition of "Star Trek". Yes, Kirk & Spock are pop culture icons. But the TOS storytelling... not so much. Very much everything that defines modern Trek is rooted in the Berman era, from the tropes, to the rules, to the aesthetics. So much so...

I used to do the monthly sales charts for Diamond Comic Distributors, and I have an anecdote about the Capaldi Collapse. Titan Comics, after they picked up the Doctor Who comics license from IDW, was initially quite successful with Doctor Who comics. They had an aggressive plan -- ongoing...

...Vulcans are Natural Touch Telepaths. Both species could've contributed to the creation of the ESPer Standardized Tests to validate ESPer Ratings / Capability within Humanity. And Miranda might've been that special 1 of 1 through sucessive generations of genetic tweaks. The Show hasn't shown...

No; again, "Where No Man..." established that many humans had low-level esper abilities and that there was a standardized test for determining an individual's "esper rating." KIRK: And you, are you feeling all right? DEHNER: Yes. Mitchell, too, except for his eyes. We're trying to find a reason...

STARSHIP MARK IX (Cruiser) The Fourth Generation Starship Commission was formed on AD 18462.4, tasked with creating a coherent strategy for the replacement of the Mark V Frigates and Mark VI Cruisers before those ships began reaching the end of their useful life. (Both Star Fleet and the...

So why haven't they shown Human ESPers being naturally born in all this time? There's been plenty of episodes since the very first one. The subject matter hasn't bothered to come up again. In TNG (Unnatural Selection), the human kids that have TK & TP were Genetically Engineered to have those...

Yes. He and Dehner were low level ESPers before the barrier.

Essentially, it means that while Mitchell could guess things he shouldn't know otherwise correctly at a higher rate than most people, he had never and could never manipulate objects with his mind or create them out of thin air before he got zapped.

Our opinions also don't mean a thing. Likewise some MA user's interpretation of ESPer ratings also don't mean much. The Franchise's owners opinion on the other hand does.

...value. How often do we see "Human" ESPers outside of TOS? Especially those that are naturally born with said ESPer powers? As far as ESPer ratings. I'm inclined to believe that Dr. Dehner wasn't born with ESPer powers but gained it some how later on in life. Just like Gary Mitchell gained...

Novels don't mean a thing. Show me a source from the shows or films. WNMHGB More talk of ESPers Seems ESPers are well known.

When they expanded on details, she wasn't naturally psychic. She gained those abilities via bonding with a non-corporeal entity. But before exposure to "Strange Energies", Gary Mitchell might be highly rated for ESPer abilities, but he didn't have said powers until exposure. There might be some...

And even if it is just one, it shows your statement "We know that within the Trek Universe, Humans don't have ESPer like powers naturally" to be false. WNMHGB establishes that humans are rated for ESPer abilities, so probably more than one.

Most of Whitaker's episodes did beter than Capaldi's last series did.

It wasn’t really a nosedive, more a steady decline. The only nosedives were when the audience would peak again for a new Doctor, then plummet for the series proper. More at the ‘well, it’s better than nothing’ stage.

My understanding, whiich I think came from articles in Doctor Who Magazine, is that the ratings took a nosedive during the Capaldi era, though a lot of people like to blame the Whittaker/Chibnall era. For viewers who started with Tennant or Smith, a significantly older and harsher Doctor was not...

I like this. And I look forward to season 7 so I can reassess Ezri. A couple of folk here have rated her highly whereas I really didn’t like that character the first time through. (I’m only on my third pass, and it’s been a couple of years since the second.) How much of that was because I was...

I'm currently rewatching ENT (am in the middle of season 4) and find I still like it, maybe even a bit more than the first time, contrasting it with DSC. I already liked it 20 years ago, because for me, VOY had been the first huge disappointment in the franchise -- so I placed much hopes in...

At the rate of recent production, 52 episodes would be six or seven seasons spread over ten or eleven years!
