Wait...whoa, whoa, whoa! There's going to be a Star Trek XI???
But Shatner and Nimoy are so old! How will they work around the age issue?

Nothing makes sense anymore.

Goodness gracious me.
Check my post again, i've quoted it in this post and highlighted the relevant parts you missed.
Alanis Morrisette-type irony, maybe.
It came across more as absurd hyperbole, but no matter.
But Shatner and Nimoy are so old! How will they work around the age issue?
According to William Shatner, when it comes to that issue "lipsticks very important..."
Yeah...but last night I watched Matt Smith walk into a police station and hack a detective's head off (and then be amusingly blase about it) Certainly I'll take him seriously
I hate outpost gallifrey.
"He's younger than me!"
So? What does that prove? You're older than someone, here's a fucking medal. Why do people keep saying this as if it's any kind of valid point?
Aghghghg.
And y'know something I'm preemptively pissed about? I know that one day, in 2010, I'll post something less than complementary about some aspect of season 5. It could be an episode, a moment, an actor's decision... but something. And on that day, one of you will accuse me of being a Matt Smith naysayer.
"I remember" they'll say, "you spent that entire week calling him too young and ugly". "You're no fan, why are you even here?".
It's tough having the (well deserved) reputation of being a cunt. Boo hoo, etc.

I'll keep a note of that
Is OG really that bad? I have an account there but after it was approved I don't think I logged in.
I've been exposed to an LJ group but prefer to use sub forums like this one as the online fan base always seemed really, really irritating. Especially with the "everything new is shit" arguments I saw constantly popping up.
Don't worry, Jim, I'll remember you're not a naysayer, but I'll play along with the crowd just for my amusement when you go off on your rant, because they're always fun...
Paradoxically, by predicting it, I've probably stopped it from happening. Good ol' Wibblywobblytimeywimey.
*sniff* I miss Emh.
It's great for news and tidbits, etc. But as a discussion community I find it immensely irritating and full of whinging pricks. I lurk a lot, basically.
"everything new is shit" - brilliant, someone at OG should translate that into latin and use it as the site motto.

I'll second the notion of OG being full of whiny bitches. Its not all bad though. Just stick with the more positive threads that're shorter than 3 pages. In most topics the "cor blimey. The new Doctor/companion/monster sucks!" crowd starts to post around Page 2.
I'm hoping the new Doctor is a success, just so I can go over there and rub the haters noses in it.

I wonder what Emh would have to say about the new Doc. No doubt he'd have an insightful and positive take on it.
Is anyone in contact with him?
Also, it was just pointed out to me that Orson Welles was just 26 when he directed and played the title role in Citizen Kane. Think on that.

It's not like there aren't comments like that around here as well. Personally I don't have problems posting there, it just takes some time for the threads to come up for me for some odd reason.
The new Doctor is younger than me! Do I get a medal, now? Pretty please?
OG sounds like fun but they didn't want me with my shabby free mail addys...

True, but in general, this place comes across as more reasonable. And far less whiny.
Or maybe I just have a natural aversion to a forum in which "SQUEEEE!" is a perfectly acceptable, nay, encouraged expression of excitement.
Fair point... but I was referring to this subforum specifically. Honest.
To be fair to the Trek 11 hater crowd though, at least we (they) actually know a bit about this film, and have a trailer no less. We know next to nothing about Series 5 and Doc 11.

We know the 11th doc is younger than many of us
Interesting that the last 2 Doctors have both been younger than me, and at 38 I'm faced with the fact that even if the 12th Doctor reverts to late 30s early 40s he might still be younger than me.
Guess you know you're getting on when Timelords start to look younger...

My latin isn't great - my greek is more recent and I've been playing with Hebrew etymologies most recently but try:
" Quicquid novus merda est!"
"everything new is shit" - brilliant, someone at OG should translate that into latin and use it as the site motto.
"Panton novus merda est"
Probably grammatically awful, it's an e-translator's attempt. Hopefully one of our more scholary posters can do better.
ETA: Already trumped! We now return you to the regularly scheduled thread.
