Time travel is ok......but the future will suck if FTL isn't possible.

I loved watching David Tennant play the Doctor but I haven't finished watching all of the 11# (Matt Smith's Doctor) yet, but I am just not feeling the same with him. I know that each Doctor has a different personality but I am just not really liking Smith's character. It feels like they want you to like him so bad....
That, and they changed writers when 11 came in. Russel T. Davies retired, and Steven Moffat took over. Since then, it's been dogshit, in my humble opinion. :( That show peaked, and then it was over.

It's just when you have a Doctor who claims he can speak "baby", that was when I decided to clock out. I do want to go back and watch more- apparently, the 12th Doctor (I heard) is a bit better. Although, for me now, it has become about his companies more so than the actual Doctor (and it's his show).

That being said, I did like the story arc that involved those aliens that would erase your memories. It was actually kind of genuine creepy but the fact that they had Amy's baby be a part of that was a bit long-winded (and yeah, I know it turns out to be River Song but still, did they have to put such an effort into her being a kid?). It was also nice to hear American characters with actual American accents (unlike that episode where they went to future doomed Mars colony and the only American there sounded way to British- and the put in his file that he was from Iowa!).

WTF?

It would seem the EM drive has been vindicated. You don't need magic. You have a good drive right there that could get you all over the galaxy in no time (shipboard time, anyway).

FTL is only a thing because not-so-great SF writers wanted to be able to have characters fly around the universe without relativistic effects. FTL is magic injected into SF because some writers failed to adapt their plot accordingly.

If you travel to another star, time is going to progress very fast on Earth compared to you, which is a good thing.

No because wormholes.

Warp drive in Star Trek works by annihilating matter (in the form of deuterium, a kind of hydrogen gas) and antimatter in a fusion reaction mediated by dilithium crystals. This produces the enormous power required to warp space-time and drive the ship faster than light

I still don't believe in antimatter or dark matter. I've always thought it more possible they are balancing an equation with something made up to make it balance.
