THE FOLLOWING IS NOT A SERIOUS SUGGESTION, JUST SPECULATION
ON A HYPOTHETICAL SITUATION!!
I ONLY WISH TO EXPLORE THE POSSIBILITIES OF THE
SITUATION DESCRIBED BELOW.
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EXPRESS YOUR OPINIONS
IF YOU WISH, I'D LIKE TO KNOW YOUR VIEWS.
I had an interesting thought for a Star Trek and/or a Dr Who
storyline. What would you think of having The Doctor pop in on
the bridge of the Enterprise-II (?). Might lead to some very
interesting plot developments. The combination of both Spock
and the Doctor would be fascinating in my opinion. (As well as
the rest of the crew.) What do you think about this, does it have
any possibilities? What type of story setting/plot would you like to
see IF this were to happen? Please POST replies or send EMAIL to
IHNP4!IHUXJ!AMRA. I will do my utmost to reply in a timely manner.
It would be interesting to see The Doctor as Science Officer,
with Capt. Spock at the helm. What a combination that would be.
Think what it would do to McCoy having TWO aliens of Spock's &
The Doctor's physical/mental make-up. Boy, would he have his
hands full. I can imagine what The Doctor's physiology would do
to the medical scanners. And let's not forget Scotty. It would
be a real sight to see if The Doctor were to get his hands on
the warp engines,etc. Poor Mr. Scott would be at his wit's end
if this occurred.
Which of the Doctors would you like to see in this scenario?
I personally would prefer Tom Baker's incarnation but am open
to suggestion. Which of the five, (six counting the newest),
re-generations of The Doctor would be best for this type of
role? Please feel free to send any comments/views/opinions
to me. Always enjoy hearing from others.
If there is sufficient response I'll post a follow-up in a couple
weeks. See you some time between Now & Then... Same Space-Time....
Same Universe!!!!
Best Regards,
Steve Aldrich

Well its time for me to put my two cents in on the subject. I do on all the
other subjects that arise.
I think it would be interesting as well, but the suggestion about the Doctor
being Science officer and Spock at the helm would be catastrophic. First of
all, the Doctor is second in command to no one. (just ask him, his ego is
far too inflated). Second, the Doctor's sense of logic is nowhere to be found.
His method of problem-solving is sometimes attributed to luck and alot of
guessing. His lack of logical solutions would come in direct conflict with
Spock's inhuman mind. They would never get along.
I am a Doctor Who fan myself, and this is my view. The only way I can see
it is if the Doctor runs the show in his usual nonchalant manner. I know
the Trekkies aren't going to agree with me on this, but the Doctor simply
has no boss!!
Let's hear from the Trekkies on this,
Doctor T.

{ Doctor Who? Yes. What? No, Who. }
I have seen only a bit of one episode of Doctor Who. Wasn't exceedingly
impressed, but from what I have heard of the writing, it doesn't sound
that bad. However, my knowledge of Doctor Who is limitted. Which brings
up a question: They travel around in something called a Tardis, which
makes itself look inconspicuous for the time.
What could it look like on the bridge? A turbo elevator?

Some time ago, there were a number of you talking about "The Doctor and
the Enterprise". Well, hobbit got his copy back, and now I have it
again. The story was written by Jean Airey, a member of the Prydonian
Renegades (a Dr. Who fan club based in Columbus, Ohio -- yes, the same
people who gave you Panopticon West 1984!). It was a special issue of
Zeta Minor, the magazine of the Prydonian Renegades. To get your copy,
send $6.00 (includes first class postage) to:
Jean Airey
6626 Rocky Den Road
Reynoldsburg, OH 43068
(BTW, Jean is also a contributing writer to Fantasy Empire magazine.)
Happy reading!
