interestrateripoff Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I always assumed that was a play on the word 'tard', as in tardy, or late. The original concept was for it to only to go forwards in time. Because the Tardis is 'late' to arrive. EDIT: confusing myself with temporal concepts. Need another coffee. Wouldn't be much of a show as the Doctor would arrive just at the point of the Daleks conquering the world. Damn late again, if only I'd arrived 2 weeks earlier.

interestrateripoff Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 But according to Superman you can't change the future. But I suppose the machines tried to kill a young John Connor. So jury's out. But he changed the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RufflesTheGuineaPig Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 (edited) Hang on, I will just warm up the De Lorean.A very cool car.Why not the Tardis?Would you rather time travel in a stainless steel sports car or a blue box.I thought the Tardis control mechanism was faulty or has the Doctor fixed that particular issue?According to current timelord physics, it's because the craft is designed to be crewed by 6 people... the doctor is unable to operate all the required controls on his own for comfortable travel.I always assumed that was a play on the French word 'tard', as in tardy, or late. The original concept was for it to only to go forwards in time. Because the Tardis is 'late' to arrive. Tardis stands for Time And Relative Dimensions Is Space. It relates to the fact it's bigger inside than outside.But according to Superman you can't change the future. But I suppose the machines tried to kill a young John Connor. So jury's out.Try?

Fairies Wear Boots Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Ancient Inca gold hoard equivalent to 200% of current world wide holdings discovered in the Andes……by Jedward twins My wife is off to Edinburgh. She's going to see an Irish comedian, so I Google imaged "Irish Comedians" and the results were really good. All it showed was Irish comedians ... and Jedward. The FTSEies been rising. Riots mainly over. I give it a week until we have some more panic selling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, robots get too smart for their own good and start telling humans where to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Bart' Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I thought the Tardis control mechanism was faulty or has the Doctor fixed that particular issue? According to "The Doctor's Wife", the TARDIS herself has been responsible for sending the Doctor into various trouble spots, hence why he never lands somewhere where the biggest problem is a glut of ice cream on a sunny day. The Time Lords used to do it as well, much to the Doctor's annoyance. Wouldn't be much of a show as the Doctor would arrive just at the point of the Daleks conquering the world. Damn late again, if only I'd arrived 2 weeks earlier. He arrived 10 years too late in "Dalek Invasion of Earth". (Or is that Tottenham yesterday?) He also arrived a good few weeks/months after the trouble started in "The Web of Fear" and "Invasion of the Dinosaurs". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we should all start incorrectly referring to it as 'Shell USA' as revenge for Obama's shameless finger pointing over the BP spill.
