WTFATDTTTARDIS? (News)

Well, although I think they did a good job of trying to respect the look and feel of the original show, one does have to admit that the original look was rather low budget. Those of us who remember and loved the old show because it was witty and funny are more than happy to accept that old paper mache and painted cardboard look of the inner TARDIS. It's part of what we remember and it gives us a yummy, hot-mug-of-cocoa feeling of nostalgia. We get to be nerdy kids again watching the wonderful secret treats that Britain had to offer us on PBS.

But the show has evolved. It has taken advantage of what technology has to offer these days, and you must admit that the show has become a bit more up-market.

Time to remodel the TARDIS? Sure, why not.

Argh, they shouldn't change the TARDIS, it's great the way it is! I like the mix of natural-looking (the sort of coral stuff) and the modern (the metallic thumamububs). Though I suppose it won't make too much difference.

It has changed quite a few times already. Frankly, I am not a big fan of the current look it has had through the Eccleston/Tennent era. It looks shabby. Yes, it's old an cranky, but by Galifreyian standards. It's still very advanced technology, and need not look like an equipment closet in the London underground. It needs to be brighter, with fewer trailing cables and less general clutter. I look forward to the refit. Just don't much with the exterior. It might be cool to finally fix the chameleon circuit, but the Blue Box is too iconic to mess with.
