% Absolutely. The Doctor pops in and out of just about anywhere and gets 
into all sorts of jams. Haruhi's version of heaven.

% Heh. Now that would be a neat idea. Lemon Haruhi decides to shoot porn 
films. :)

% It's supposed to be the latest one. Brown more his hair color, I 
guess? I should add I have only seen a half dozen episodes or so of the 
Sci Fi Dr. Who, but have been impressed by them. Very entertaining 
stuff. Tom Baker, the fourth Doc, will always be my favorite since I 
grew up on him, but the series has been entertaining.

imagination fill in the blanks.

% Yes, rather bland one, that guy, as was Colin Baker after him (they 
stopped airing it after him). Teegan Nyssa and Adric were the trio, I 
believe. Also Adric's death at the hands of the Cybermen was the first 
of the Doctor's companions to die, I believe. I remember being surprised 
by that since I assumed the Doc would get him out of the fix somehow.

%That could be a possibility to anyone that wanted to do it.
