I've always been fascinated by concepts of reincarnation, past lives, and all that. I've always wondered, what does it *feel* like to have lived a past life as a different person, yet have that person's persona/memories inside of you? Do you feel like two--or more--people in one body? Does the other you seem like a dream, a story that happened to someone else? When people say "in the past life, I did this", do they really feel the "I" they use, or is it as if that past life is a stranger? >From Hindu beliefs to scifi to fantasy to 'toons like "Avatar: The Last >Airbender", the topic fascinates me.

I had no idea the guy behind "Blink" is the new showrunner. That bodes well. The new Doctor has very blocky features, almost like a caveman, and is a big guy to boot. Quite a change, but that's the idea, eh? I still miss Chris Eccleston in the role. His Doctor had such a dark , pained side, he was borderline menacing at times. Is he the Doctor who directly jumped from the final battle with the Daleks where untold millions died? What did you think about Tennant's final moments as the Doctor? I was surprised to see him go not quietly into the night. When he was yelling "I'm not ready!" it was poignant. What exactly is the reason for this regeneration (outside the needs of the producers to keep a show running for decades). How different is the new Doctor each time? Does he remember every single action, feeling, and thought his previous incarnation had? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tracey de Morsella" < tdli...@multiculturaladvantage.com > To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, January 12, 2010 1:26:42 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: RE: [scifinoir2] Dr. Who's Blink It is creepy. The guy who wrote that is the one who took over. He also wrote the three library articles and Jekyl.

But I remember someone mentioning that Blink was a favorite, so I skipped ahead and watched it late last night. It was really good. But that person neglected to say it was going to give me the heebee jeebees so I couldn't sleep!
