@terrymarc It depends on the person. For me, as I said on our show, I feel it should be the current Doctor and fit into established series.

@terrymarc Exactly and we know how off-canon they turned out.

@salsburyp Oh I just realized that you know you're a geek when I can just read your tweet and replace the "%20" with spaces in my mind.

@kuban111 Yeah, I will be there. Definitely, we can meet up again. I don't know my exact schedule yet, but I will be covering the event.

@salsburyp It was like your words were magically creating a reality on my screen as I read them.

I thought this #StarTrek & #DoctorWho crossover comic was limited to the TNG & the 11th Doctor, apparently not.
Darth Vader is part of the architecture of the Washington National Cathedral. #StarWars
There is more to see than Abraham Lincoln there… You can spot the Lord of the Sith there as well on the northwest tower. You’ll need binoculars or some other aid as it is pretty high up, but it’s there.
There was a children’s competition back in the 1980s for a decorative sculpture while the tower was undergoing construction. Christopher Rader won 3rd place with his rendition of Vader… Wait a second, Rader, Vader? Coincidence? Hmmm… It was then sculpted by Jay Hall Carpenter and carved by Patrick J. Plunkett.

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and Leonard Nimoy interview each other on stage (no offense to Matt Marshall of VentureBeat who didn’t seem to get a word in). Unfortunately it’s only 6 minutes long, they deserved 60 minutes.

I think it’s the first time I am not looking forward to a Star Wars re-release film on the big screen. I may see it anyway despite it being in fake 3D. Coming to 3D in theaters and your wallet on February 10th.

A shot-by-shot comparison of the first 13 minutes of Raiders of the Lost Ark against 30 other films that preceded it ranging from 1919 through 1973.
Some time ago, I also posted a video “premake” of Raiders which was similar to this, but done as a movie trailer. You’ll see many of the same movie clips here.
