IDW Star Trek / Doctor Who official crossover comic review

Google ReaderGoogle GmailRedditGoogle BookmarksLiveJournalFriendFeedDeliciousShare

Wow! This site got a mention at TrekMovie.com.. thanks to the Doctor and the Enterprise which is hosted here.

 

Star Trek Doctor Who assimilation2I’ve been reading the crossover IDW released, called Star Trek / Doctor Who Assimilation 2.. My thoughts are quite simple really, for the most it’s a good read, it’s the first such official crossover, however the ending is a let down to me when you consider what the Doctor says at the end and Guinan’s comments about the normal flow of time being disturbed in  issue 4 are never followed through. So the Doctor says the 4th Doctor’s encounter with Captain Kirk will not have happened, but there’s no reason for this since they didn’t go back in time to prevent their encounter with the Cybermen in the first place… So it looks like it was hastily written.. or the writer wasn’t too clear on what was going on.

You can buy this crossover from the amazon.co.uk links below:

Doctor Who’s Sonic Screwdriver is a Reality Now

Google ReaderGoogle GmailRedditGoogle BookmarksLiveJournalFriendFeedDeliciousShare

The University of Dundee has released a press release about their very own Sonic Screwdriver!

Apparently researchers at Dundee University must have been Doctor Who fans, because they have devised a machine to emulate the Doctor’s very own Sonic Screwdriver. How does it work? It’s sonic, of course, or ultrasound. It uses ultrasound to lift, move and rotate a rubbery disk which floats in a cylindrical glass full of water.

Previously ultrasound was only used to push objects. This is the first time it has been utilised to rotate them.

As a benefit from this research, ultrasound surgery will be much more precise. It will make surgeons able to treat more conditions without having to cut patients open. It might allow special drug capsules to be guided throughout the human body to the right destination, such as a tumour.
