Percus) writes: >Why should Dr. Who come up to the level of standard Sci-Fi? ^^ Well, considering that the term "Sci-Fi" means media (TV, movies, etc.) and comic-book and suchlike versions of real "SF" (which means books and magazine stories), I would say that Dr. Who would have to come DOWN to reach "the level of standard Sci-Fi". It is *better* than most Sci-Fi, even considering the defects, inconsistencies, or errors I and others have flamed about. (We complain because we like it, and want it to be the best it can be -- in most cases, we aren't demanding expensive changes or massive alterations, but simply better knowledge and more involvement on the part of the writers/directors/producers/staff.)
