While watching a serial from the Pertwee Years, I started to wonder if Star Trek: TNG was inspired by Classic Who!
Refer to the stone daemon Bok (who looks like a Kamen Rider kaijin). Weren't Ferengi ship captains referred to as "Damon" and wasn't one of the first Ferengi we saw actually named "Bok"!? While the similarities could be direct, it could also be possible that TNG sourced the naming convention from the same source as Classic Who, but I'm uncertain. |

I watched both
Doctor Who XXXIX 07 Eve Of The Daleks and 08 Legend Of The Sea Devils together recently on DVD. Too bad this will be the last one for 13 , Dan and Yaz in October.

Been increasingly curious about Classic Who (Hartnell-McCoy, with some allowances for the Movie with the Eighth), but at the same time, I am also kin to the idea of there being a massive split in the Who fandom between the Eras! There are those who genuinely prefer Classic over New, and the disdain can be quite vocal at times. Reasons can vary, with some unhappy with Russell T. Davis' approach in general, and some unhappy with the Companions like Rose.
Is there more depth to this vitriol? It doesn't actually surprise me cause every franchise can have a split in the fandom (Transformers in particular has some of the more pointless arguments/debates). |

Doctor Who XXXVII - Doctor Who XXXIX Alternate Opening Sequence for
the 13th Doctor and Yaz. this one looked way cooler and should have been used. Doctor Who XL 14th Doctor Possible Opening Sequence - What we see on screen may likely change. This is to give you guys a general idea.

Sorry about the extra post but I wanted to keep the opening titles on their own.
As for the classic era I own the entire 1st series of Doctor Who with Will Hartnell on DVD and a few from Series II with him. Buying them in order and am on Story 13 for buy ins. I own up to Story 12 with Story 004 Marco Polo on Audio CD. Also Story 008 The Reign Of Terror on Audio but had now gotten a DVD release recently. I've seen nearly all of the 1st Doctor Via Netflix Disk rental except Planet Of Giants. Also most of the 2nd and 3rd Doctors on disk rentals and a few 1st and 2nd Doctor Episodes mised but plan to try to buy them soon. As I don't have 267 (BBCA) on cable I've watched the entire revived era (Doctor Who XXVII - Doctor Who XXXIX) on DVD and am trying to buy up all the classic serials in story order. I watch Classic Era Who once a week but needed to hold for the winter break. Weekly I'm on Marco Polo Part 5 and Doctor Who XXVII 05 World War Three with the 9th Doctor. I get to see all of the revived era with no hiatus in the way. That will be great. I should be caught up when the 14th Doctor starts with the revived era. I'm back watching all episodes up to New Era Series 14.

Finally saw a "decent" chunk of the Fourth Doctor Serial, "Genesis of the Daleks", which introduced Davros to the franchise!
A thought then occurred: Was God Neros inspired by Davros!? Hear me out on this: - "Genesis of the Daleks" debuted in '75, and Metal Heroes debuted in '82 with Gavan. The timing is more than sufficient. - Neros and Davros have very similar aesthetics: both are depicted as "old", almost always seen sitting, both have a colored "gem" in the center of their heads (though this may have greater significance where Davros is concerned), always wear black, movement is largely confined to raising their right hands, desire to command large armies, very vulnerable with little in the way of independent combat capabilities, very evil! - Toei kind of already did a less-than-subtle Doctor Who reference about a year or so before Metalder debuted in '87. Episode 9 of Flashman in '86 is "Toki o Kakeru Hakase", or "The Doctor Who Travels Through Time". https://www.grnrngr.com/sentai/series/flashman I'll admit, some details are very generic as far as sci-fi villains are concerned, but I see enough evidence to think that someone took notice.
