Hey Piggle13 - Matt Smith I think has totally revamped the Dr into a crazy, fun-loving, believable eccentric, and was perfect to follow DT. Not at all sure the new chap (Peter Capaldi)will have the same impact! Shame, really, as the Dr is getting older again..... I personally think River Song should have become the next Doctor! They do hint at a woman one day. I always struggled when Tristan Farnham became the 6th Dr! It just seemed wrong even though he was good.Of the Dr Who spin-offs, my fave has to be Torchwood.
If you can find it, give Farscape a check - Its a living spaceship (the Leviathan, Moya) and the journey of her crew across the galaxy. Very well made, and hilarious in parts!
OMG - I thought Prometheus was the biggest flop ever as well - It doesn't 'hang' with the Alien story line at all, yet is supposedly giving the prequel of how the Aliens ended up on the planet in the original movie! If you like ALIEN, then you should give SPECIES a go as well - A hilarious (if occasionally grisly) take on DNA / genetic mutilation!
