What do you mean you don't agree?
Are you mad? Just look at the evidence...
10 reasons why Doctor Who is better than all the Star Trek series put together!
1 DW killed off Adric, Wesley Crusher still lives
2 The lead character in DW doesn't try to snog everything in a skirt
3 DW never had a crappy 'animated' series
4 Lead actor in DW never wore a wig or a girdle
5 DW lasted 26 years and a bit, all the Trek series put together still don't come near that
6 No monsters in DW ever wore a Mars bar on their head
7 The Cybermen came years before the Borg
8 Trek has never had a 3D episode
9 DW didn't over-do the spin-offs. It only ever had one, and that was only one episode
10 It just is!!!
And 10 reasons why Doctor Who is better than The X Files...
1 The lead actors in DW went to drama school
2 DW has original ideas of its own
3 Aliens definitely do exist in DW so we don't waste every other episode trying to prove/disprove the theory
4 None of the lead characters in DW catch fatal diseases that go on forever
5 X Files takes itself far too seriously and would never have a Horns of Nimon type story
6 DW went big screen within a couple of years of being broadcast
7 DW characters are sensible enough to switch the light on before entering a room
8 None of the lead characters in DW smoke
9 DW had alien abductions before the X Files ever thought of the idea
10 X Files has never had the honour of being on a Weetabix commercial
