itself to each 'generation', if one can use that term, and watching the
episodes over time is fascinating. The monsters, the accessory
characters, the threats of invasion, the dialogue, the wardrobe, etc.
all reflect evolving opinions and attitudes, while the Doctor continues
to be the same person in a new body and with different personality
traits. That's why the series as a whole holds up despite out changing
expectations towards entertainment.
Now, I never said let's turn the Dr. into an action hero - I said I hope
the show is shot more like a modern action series. The style, the mood,
the intangible traits and characteristics of the show are what I am
referring to here. I mean, those elements will be adapted the same way
they always have been, they might as well be adapted to a format we
already know and enjoy.

Subject: RE: Dr Who is coming back!
I hope you are joking. One of the things that made Dr. Who cool
was that
_he_ wasnt an action hero. Heck, we wasn't a typical hero at
all. As for
the special effects, have we not learned by now that special
effects
don't make the story - the acting/directing/writing makes the
story. I
don't mind updated special effects as long as the story is good,
but
PLEASE don't turn Dr. Who into some kind of action star.
