The Doctor's Every Journey 97
jc79 writes "David McCandless of InformationIsBeautiful.net has created a crowdsourced dataset of every time travel journey the Doctor made in every episode of the series since 1963. Who wants to visualise it?" Previous efforts have resulted in this amazing visualization of time travel intersecting Bill & Ted, Back to the Future, Time Bandits, Buck Rogers, Planet of the Apes and many more.

Plotting only the time journeys that made it onto TV is more than enough of a job. Exploring the rest of the timey wimey ball... well, my monitor has only a two-dimensional display.
Buck Rogers? (Score:3, Interesting)
I will have to RTFA, because I don't remember Buck Rogers ever time traveling. Even the old Buster Crabb version was devoid of time travel.
I did notice that Star Trek was missing from the summary. I know they time traveled a lot! Especially, the Kirk Enterprise.
Wiki for predictions in fiction (Score:5, Interesting)
There ought to be some kind of wiki for fictional predictions. Not like "2430 - The Borg fight The Enterprise at Vega" but more like "2190 - First contact with aliens (Star Trek: First Contact)" or "2050 - World War III begins (some other show)" or "October 23, 2077 - Nuclear war between China and the US (Fallout)" (all dates made up by me except the last one).
It'd be really cool to be able to see what sort of huge events were supposed to have happened on a given date according to some TV show, movie, book, or video game.
Wikipedia has some pages that sort of serve this function, but they're all very incomplete or mixed up with real-life predictions, which are lame.

He got a new body when he has some powers of the Keeper of Traken remaining. I think he got more lives as a "thank-you" for his help in the Time Lord vs. Daleks Time War.
I figured it was limited because there was more timelords, since he's the only one left, there's no point in limiting it.
Since the tardis helps with it, and the tardis is telepathic & whatnot, then that makes sense. It knows to keep regenerating him because there isn't any others left.
At least, that's how I'd get around the limit if i wrote for them.
