The Doctor: We haven't heard from K9 in a while, let's see what's become of him.
Ace: Do you think he's been captured?
The Doctor: Perhaps he's just taken a wrong turn.

Lost K9
Wednesday, November 26, 2008
Arrival
Ace: Professor, this doesn't look like the Globe Theatre.
The Doctor: We're on Earth, at least. Let's have a look round, shall we? Since we've got a time machine, we can get back to Shakespeare later. Or earlier, as the case may be.
K9, go down the path to see if there's anyone around that house.
K9: Yes, Master.

Ace and the Doctor go Back to Work
Ace: That was wicked, Professor! Are those other guys really you?
K9: Affirmative, Mistress. The Doctor-Master has ten incarnations, of which three were represented at the gathering.
Ace: Then where are the rest?
The Doctor: Well, it can be difficult to get us all together, usually in a temporal anomaly or highly dangerous time scoop interference. I'm just glad my future is in such capable hands. Now, isn't there somewhere we should be?
Ace: Maybe we could race Shakespeare back to the Globe!
Happy 45th Anniversary, Doctor Who!

Doctor Who Archives Released by the BBC!
Starting today, the BBC has made available the original documents from the creation of Doctor Who in 1963, a fascinating look at how the show began. The original concept by C.E. Webber, called "The Troubleshooters," was about a team of scientific experts looking into strange phenomena. This is more like Torchwood, Fringe or The X-Files today. Webber cites Sherlock Holmes as an inspiration, which is also similar to medical detective show House, M.D. Eventually the show became Doctor Who, as described in the original Radio Times listing for November 23, 1963, the adventures of a "mysterious exile from another world and a distant future." Doctor Who has captivated viewers from all over the world for 45 years, and has a bright future ahead.

Captain Kirk meets the Doctor
A restaging of the scene in the Star Trek novel My Enemy, My Ally by Diane Duane in which Captain Kirk sees a holographic version of the Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) materialize on the Enterprise with the TARDIS. This is a version of the holodeck seen in other Star Trek series. I had wanted to read this book because I heard about this scene taking place!
The two characters also meet in the story "The Doctor and the Enterprise" by professional author Jean Airey, which can be found online here, at a website of the University of Malta. This is the original fanzine version, with all references to both series intact. A later version took out many references to the characters' names for publication. As Airey explains, the website version is her original text and not later versions! The authorized version on the website is very fun to read and find out what would happen if Star Trek and Doctor Who universes came together!

Art at the Legion of Honor
The Thinker statue by Rodin that sits in front of the Legion of Honor art museum in San Francisco, in the Richmond District on a foggy day yesterday. There is an exhibition there showing the art collection of James Simon, on loan from museums in Berlin, Germany. This includes ancient Egyptian statues, German folk art, paintings of actors from Japan in the past, and pictures of Simon and his collection. His most famous discovery is the Bust of Nefertiti, which is still in Berlin. The Legion of Honor is exhibiting a replica of Nefertiti and other statues made by the same artist in ancient Egypt. Simon financed the original excavation of the pyramids that brought the statues to Berlin. I attended the lecture on November 8 by art historian Professor Dietrich Wildung, who gave a fascinating account of Simon's efforts to preserve different cultures through collecting and donating art.
