Right so I've decided to give this some thought, and I'm defining a franchise as something that extends into multiple media that I have enjoyed. (So for instance, The Prisoner is brilliant, but I have never liked anything beyond the tv show itself - therefore I can't claim to like the...

Hmm... She didn't though.:confused:

I like Star Trek and Space: 1999. Though neither is an unparalleled masterpiece, and I'm well aware of their limitations.

Arra's prophecy in Collision Course does offer some hint to the Alphans' fate though: "You shall continue on. Your odyssey shall know no end. You will prosper and increase in new worlds, new galaxies. You will populate the deepest regions of space."

But fiction isn't textbooks. So some sci-fi is more scientifically accurate than others. Is it an issue? The story is the important thing - how it affects the characters, what subtexts it might be illuminating, what ideas or emotions it invokes in the audience, Gerry Anderson himself pointed...

Well, there are fanon explanations you could try and come up with - like the Andromedan ships are at the very edge of their fuel endurance and can't afford to divert around the minefield (which of course they're expecting to be shut down by the time they arrive). But you have to roll with it...

Actually Terry Nation often confused galaxies and star systems. As in the early scene in Duel where Travis implies he's been lying in wait for the Liberator in a different galaxy! Still love the show, though.

I love Space: 1999 - I feel a deeply spiritual connection to it. (As spiritual as it's possible for an atheist to get anyway.) It has a view of the universe and man's place within it that really speaks to me. Am I aware of its scientific implausibilities? Hell, yes. Does it bother me? No...

Actually, I'd go so far as to say pre-1963 alterations. Delia's original realization is still the absolute benchmark, one of the greatest pieces of electronic music ever, a timeless classic.

What madness is this? Who doesn't love The Gunfighters?

Other way round.

Definitely Wings. I don't like any of the others.

From evidence we've seen in various stories, the Doctor didn't have many "adventures" prior to stealing the Tardis, although he seems to have led an active and busy life, including scientific research, political activism, and ambassadorial work. Here he is at a diplomatic function:

Never realized it was such a secret that Nick Pegg was the Watcher.

William Hartnell was a terrific film actor in his day. Later on, he appeared in Doctor Who.

Well, they seem to have dropped Julie from the latest issue. Not sure why they would have bothered setting her up as a companion in the first place...

I love the original Star Trek. The spin-offs I enjoy (never got into Enterrpise though) - but they're not as close to my heart as the original. Other shows I love: Doctor Who (original show 1963-1989 especially) Blakes 7 Space: 1999 Sapphire and Steel UFO Thunderbirds Captain Scarlet and the...

Tennant's was my least favourite interpretation of the Doctor, so I wouldn't be happy with such a decision.
