So he's the Brannon Braga of British sci-fi?

Actually, that seems a pretty apt comparison.  I enjoyed his stuff (The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances, Blink, Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead) so much more when he was being kept in line with RTD.  I enjoyed the Gaiman episode over the weekend, but I also thought it was overhyped and not the "BEST EPISODE EVAH!" the media blitz was making it out to be.
Experience bij!

Producer. Steven Moffat took over from Davies last year. To be fair to him he did write some of the best episodes of the Davies years (such as the superlative "Blink") but in my opinion his "style" does not work when applied to every episode week in, week out. Moreover he seems to be determined to try and top the already over-the-top season finales of Davies; last year this resulted in the series descending into completely illogical bilge water as it progressed. This year the rot has continued.

Did Braga actually write any good episodes before his apotheosis? :hmm:

Steven Moffat - great writer (and on reflection I think the "Silence in the Library"/"Forest of the Dead" two parter may be better than "Blink" - and they are the three standout episodes of "New Who") but crap producer.

What do you call the style of that episode?
Sort of...Victorian Tim Burtonish French revolutiony gothic.....god knows what. I've seen the style before, Sweeny Todd sort of had it (Idris put me very in mind of Helena Botham Carter), but can't place its origin.

He was a staff writer on TNG and did the First Contact movie.  So long as he had guys keeping him in line, he was alright.  Then he showed what he could do on his own by driving Voyager off a cliff.

The rather nice northern lass who played Idris/the Tardis:



Not the best of photos, but google seems to emphasize her Corry characteristics.  :hmm:

The asteroid setting seemed to have some elements of steampunk, but I don't think that's exactly right, either.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

She suffers from what I like to call 'weird English female nose'.

Nice boobs though. I bet they are fake. I'd need a touch test to confirm though.

Funny.  I didn't even notice that she had a nose.

Boobs are nice... but if they have English horse face, it is points off.

Agree with Ed. Great body shape, face not up to Hollywood standards.

Baker, then Ecclestone. 

Which Baker?

Yeah, Jim or Enzo?

It can't be Enzo. He's to busy guarding hospitals.
