It didn’t work when I copied your post, but when I put the link in on its own, it worked. Madness.

Normally there is no problems with links going into posts, so this is confusing.

http://www.example.com/ should work – for example 🙂

I dont know why, but the blog wont show the text when the hyperlink is made active. It read:

Tom Baker and William Hartnell defined Dr. Who for me, prior to the current series, with Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee and Sylvester McCoy as runner’s up. I must admit, that I’ve enjoyed what I’ve seen of the Tennant Doctor … he seems to have the character down, IMO. I mentioned in a recent blog post (http://blog.globalparadigms.com/2007/01/23/the-good-doctor/) once of the fascinating aspects of Dr Who is how much of it has seeped into the rest of SF imagery without attribution. I can’t watch (or more accurately, LISTEN to) the Borg from Star Trek without hearing and seeing Daleks, right down with the human/machine hybrid horror aspect of. And who can truly look at Storm Troopers or classic Cylons the same after seeing the venerable Dr of William Hartnell do battle with the dreaded Cybermen? Makes the copyright infringement lawsuit by Lucas against the makers of Battlestar Gallactica a bit silly in perspective … BBC shoulda been suing both their asses, lol.
Nice to see another fan of the Good Doctor 🙂

Tonight’s episode was definitely one of the better ones (aside from the obviously dodgy wire-workphysics as opposed to the usual suspension of disbelief stuff) when compared to the likes of the (IMO) very poor “motorway” episode, even within the universe of Dr Who.

Thought I’d pop by and say “hi” too, seeing as I’ve quite quiet for the past couple of weeks. Erm, so, “hi!” 🙂
