Aye, but he is not exactly going to be Data. More probably an evil ancestor of Data's creator, Dr Sung.

Do you remember the episodes in which Brent Spiner played Sung's grandfather at a time when he was experimenting with eugenics? This new load of twaddle is set in the early days of Star Fleet Academy.

STAT! stat stat stat stat stat....
And, period! It always seems weird to me that americans punctuate a sentence by saying period! I keep thinking, what's my menstrual cycle got to do with it?
I just love the rib spreader though, it's so macho with the 'spread 'em'.
There is a training manikin called Stat Man, and Ambu Multi Man [sounds a bit rude to me].

Yes i do remember that episode Andrew, anything with Data I love, though I think they've got it wrong with 'Enterprise'

Hehe i have seen an open chest once in resus, was absolutely amazing! A little crowd gathered to watch it as well! Against the odds though the man actually lived to tell the tale, even though he was very near deaths door and pulseless for five minutes!!!

We eventually managed to stabilise him after about six hours and sent him to ICU where three days later i'm told he left! Dam amazing if you ask me, and something that we DON'T get every day!!!!

I do think they tended to overcrank the story lines with Enterprise. It is as if they had all the possibilities of playing with themes that would be picked up later, but had no good idea of how to handle them.

No surprise that the Roddenberry machine left Star Trek behind.,

In ER, in the early days, practically every other patient needed a rib spreader, oh and they would say 'crack 'em'.

Ok guys, have just watched my first Dr Who in this series, as i have to say i hated it when i was younger!!

My thoughts now ... Ahh will someone please brush Billies hair and give her some decent make up!! Her look is so past it now!! LOL!! And maybe a pair of dungarees that actually fitted her would have been a start!!!

Was not convinced on the story line either, but maybe that was just tonights, but sadly am going to say that while the werewolf graphics were absolutely brilliant everything else wasn't worth writing here about!!! :roll:

Also i think that the werewolf had KC as his vision was awful!! LMAO!!! :wink: :lol:

Sorry! Going to watch Casualty later to make things ok!!!
