There we have it - it's not so much an "update" as a "replacement."

To be clear, those are both the old skins of the Aurora and Quasar, respectively - I have no idea what the new versions look like.

The Aurora and Quasar variants of the Science Vessel family have been totally remastered!

These are original, alternate skins for the Nova class - it's always interesting when they go back to touch up the really old stuff that nobody really uses any more.

I’ve realized it’s just the colors I don’t like.

Yeah, I think it suffers from the same issue that I had with the New Paradigm Daleks - the colours make it look very plasticy.

If the blue bits had more of a brushed metal appearance, I think it would look a lot better.

I have to admit, I don't envision this thing flying off the shelves.

The detailing is pretty cool, though - it's a shame that hasn't really come through on-screen yet.

We finally have a name!

According to provincial companies office and land titles documents obtained by CBC News on Tuesday, Kelly Vasas is the sole director of a numbered Manitoba company that owns 285 College Ave., where the evictions took place.

Of course, his presence there would have basically made the whole season pointless

I think that's probably why they tucked him into season two instead. I'm guessing they wanted him to appear in a way that wouldn't break the story, and that was easier to do in the time travel caper.

You're right, though - it was a big missed opportunity to reunite him with the cast, and even the set, of the old show.

Why the everloving fuck aren't they identifying the owner?

I have to agree - the show was pretty gorgeous during the Chibnall era, despite the reportedly smaller budget.

I will admit that RTD's admission that Disney has provided story notes was a bit of a surprise, but I haven't seen much cause for concern overall.

And if the deal ends after two seasons, as some have been speculating...the show will endure.

The hand-wringing over the Disney distribution deal has been fascinating to watch...
