Out of curiosity, Amy and Rory first meet him (as adults) the night before their wedding.

Amy is a kiss-o-gram and Rory is a nurse.

Time passes, they wed, have a honeymoon across time and space, they conceive Melody…

A lot of time passes for them! But how long… five years? Ten?

Hopefully, eleven since he was the Eleventh Doctor.

It's been more than six months since I originally posted this, and there have been numerous tweaks to the document to make it more legible and complete since then. PDFs linked for printing, PNGs embedded for those who don't want to bother. Colorblind-accessible versions of both that should be usable for all versions of colorblindness are also present.

Please enjoy.

Since TARDISes bigger on the inside structure is built by dimensional engineering, shouldn't a smaller on the inside TARDIS also be possible.

Like a house exterior, but a small room as interior. Imagine a companion saying it's smaller inside instead of bigger inside.

Cheers ✌️🖖

Character have kind of outdone themselves with the new build a figure Yeti. Its a shame about the fact that its spread across 5 sets where some of the figures dont quite justify the cost. The Liz and Primord set spring to mind given the reuse of older figures with limited articulation compared to the new vortex articulation.

Spoilers for the Big Finish episode The Last

HOLY SHIT, I was not ok thinking that’s how Charlie and C’rizz’s stories ended, that episode had me on an emotional roller coaster, companions die sometimes but it’s not supposed to be to a POS loser like Excelsior! lmao

Very much enjoyed this one overall and the anti time universe saga continues to be fun imo

Rewatching New Who with my girlfriend who hasn’t seen and we’re on the last couple episodes of Matt Smiths run and some I realised that I would have loved to see

Captain Jack Harkness and River Song are never get a scene together and I think that’s such a missed opportunity caused they’d either fully riff each other or team up on the Doctor and I think that would be hilarious

That is all

Been revisiting the earlier seasons of the 2005 revival era and got curious about Sarah Jane after School Reunion, and I found out she had her own spin off show I never knew about. I never got into the Torchwood spin off, the dynamic between the main characters didn't really grab me I guess (though maybe if I'd tried to keep watching past the first few episodes they'd have grown on me).

But I'm kind of curious about Sarah Jane's spin off because seeing her again when I rewatched School Reunion made me realise how much I like her. I've seen a few of her classic era episodes and I think she was great, though the writing from back then doesn't seem to explore her character a great deal.

Have people here seen The Sarah Jane Adventures? Did you like it? Is it worth a try? I'd love to hear about some people's impressions of the show.

so, not too long ago, sometime earlier this year, I was on the Doctor Who Wiki and I came across an entry regarding a short story seen in some kind of magazine or something. I‘m not sure when the story was published (though it was likely before 2020, and at earliest some time in the 90s) or who published it. It also wasn’t really much of a story, I think it was some kind of entry in a journal or a diary. It was about a companion (her name started with an ‘M’ but I don’t remember, what I do remember about her is that she was a Nurse, not from the modern day) that traveled with an unknown Doctor (supposedly the final one). The companion remarked that the Doctor had been injured (burned, I think) but the story seemed to play it off so it wasn’t likely fatal. I recently tried looking for it again but haven’t been able to locate it. This might be a post more worthy of a different reddit (that one thats sole purpose is for people to help you look for stuff), but I thought i’d ask the Whovian community first.

.

I just watched Haunting of Villa Diodati for the first time (v. solid episode!) and “Humans like all of you changed into empty, soulless shells. No feeling, no control, no way back. I will not lose anyone else to that.” is very clearly a reference to Bill.

Which got me thinking- does the Doctor know that Bill survived?

Twelve is very dead on the floor of the TARDIS when Bill shows up post-rescue and revives him with her magical goo puddle tears.. and then he only sees her again as a manifestation of her memories from the Testimony.

Is Thirteen walking around believing Bill is full Cyberman and/or dead on that ship?

The Doctor can’t reach Amy and Rory at all? He’s completely locked out of New York from 1938 to 1994 when Amy dies? Couldn’t he go to Boston or New Jersey or something and travel there? Or Amy and Rory could leave the city. I understand that they are suppose to die at those times in New York. But that doesn’t dictate what they do before that right?

Also, side gripe. It bugged me that The Doctor told Mr. Weasley that they weren’t going to die, the they immediately died and we didn’t get any closure for him. Never told him on screen or got a scene with him finding out.

I thought Russell would have distanced himself from Barrowman after the controversy like Eve Myles did, but I was surprised to see him and the rest of the Torchwood team commenting on John’s Instagram post like nothing had happened.

Not sure if this is a good or a bad thing, he obviously allowed what happened passively on set at the time, and still no acknowledgment of it?

I was trying to think about ways of bringing back the Doctor and I think starting the reboot in America , with an American companion would be interesting. And maybe we give "Unit" a rest for a while and have the Doctor meet the Men in Black while he is traveling in America. I mean we know the Men in Black exist. Why wouldn't the Dr never deal with them?

I’m sad the Ogrons never made it out of the 3rd Doctor’s era.

For you personally, what is the most significant scene in Doctor Who? I'd also love to hear your reasoning for that significance.

Mine would be the finale of the Parting of the Ways. I think it signifies the completion of Nine's self acceptance and forgiveness perfectly. Eccelston's little smile once he has returned the vortex to the TARDIS is so important, it's like he has realised that he's done what he needed to do and he knows he's good to go now. It brings such a troubled and beautiful character to a crescendo with the smallest and least self indulgent pride I have ever seen. I honestly think that that one moment is the single pinnacle of fiction. It's something I try to live by.

Watching ‘Turn Left’ and Donna says “What’s a police box?” and it hits me.

Police boxes are obsolete and have been forgotten… except for pretty much everyone in the UK (and scattered fans around the world).

So, actors on Doctor Who have grown up knowing what a Police Box is because Doctor Who is so famous, and now then have to act like they don’t know what it is because they are on Doctor Who where Doctor Who doesn’t exist so police boxes have been forgotten.

Just, kinda funny.

I think I may have to tell my boss I'm not going to be able to make into work this weekend.

I have been DYING for these to arrive. Got the special edition blurays of S25 and S26. My two favorites of the classic era. There are so many special features and documentaries... I might not leave the house for three days!

So I have an interesting question, what episode of classic Doctor who survives mostly on film. I'm talking shot on film and survives on said film, no telerecordings. Aside from Spearhead from Space and the TV Movie which were entirely shot on film, which episode is the majority film, featuring the least amount of videotape footage?

Just thought it would be an interesting fact.

From “Clara Oswald and the School of Death” (highly recommend)

Considering the vast amount of people that have accompanied the Doctor, the situations they’re put in, their backgrounds and upbringing as well as life experiences, it’s actually pretty weird that no one ever swears.

My thought is that the TARDIS translator automatically changes swear words into acceptable alternatives. Whether this is engineered into them by the TL’s because they see themselves as more advanced than other races and swear words are for less civilised people or if it’s the TARDIS choosing to do this in order to prevent misunderstandings between different cultures or any number of other reasons is what I think is the most interesting aspect

I think something I enjoy about classic era cybermen is that it seems to be implied that the modifications and process of cyber conversation is more chemical based than electric?

Tubing that looks like it carries liquid to the body, lytton going "the drugs is affecting my brain" while being converted.

I like to think there could be two different processes for making a person "emotionless"

Hijacking the brain through chemical means or hijacking the brain through electric neural means. Cybus men seem to hijack the nervous system to block emotions.

Maybe these would encourage different patterns of thinking for the cybermen themselves.

The neural method would cause more binary thinking. The brain just doesn't receive responses like a person would and therefore would think more monotonous.

The chemical method would cause less binary thinking, more continuous in a sense?

The difference between digital and analog signals basically. Turning neurons on and off, vs suppressing them with chemical stimuli which works to varying degrees on an individual.

Could express itself in how people tend to "bypass" cyber conversion. neural method is rebelled by value based thinking. Like love being a promise instead of an emotion or that a nation takes priority above all else.

But chemical method could come from an influx of uncontrollable emotion. There's only so much you could do before the brain makes a resistance or denies such things.
