#6 Alien bodies, Lawrence Miles, 1997

Holy fucking fuck???? My fucking god???? What the fuck???? This is so good? Faction paradox is introduced, interference is foreshadowed, the celestis, qixotl, future not unit, everything is good in this book???

The book opening on the fourth doctor burying laika space race is such a great scene and this whole book is just a succession of very strong concepts. Homonculette and his TARDIS, the way the faction operates and the mindufck in the vault, the shift and the celestis deathworld my god every single one of these concept feel organic with one another. Having the doctor being so out of his depth is so great and the snapshot of another doctor is intriguing as fuck. Sam is going trough the horrors as well and I can't wait seeing more of cousin justine

Having the krotons there was certainly an odd choice but thankfully Miles made them weird and it's very funny to have them solo the dalek offscreen.

10/10 really amazing book, feels like it sets up a lot of things to come and still is amazing in its own right

Guess what you idiots, I lied

Big ass DW review post number 2 EDA edition losers

Starting off with number #1 The eight doctors, Terrance Dicks, 1997

Overall it's a pretty unremarkable story. The most notable thing is that the first eighth doctor story revolves around solving his amnesia, by visiting several fan favourites episodes of the show in between sequences. It's a fun enough romp trough the show's history and refresher course, we get to see an unearthly child's rock murder attempt, the war games, the sea devils, E-space vampires, the five doctors' aftermath, the middle of the sixth doctor trial, and just a quick meetup with the seventh doctor for good measure.

Most of these short segments don't really make a coherent story, and while the doctor learns about himself, it still doesn't really add anything to these original stories. There's a side gallifreyan politics secret plot that just don't mesh nicely with the rest. It's all a bit messy, and although it introduces Sam Jones, it doesn't really do anything with her character and doesn't bring her along until the very end.

5/10 fun but is meant to be a refresher course that can only be enjoyed by people who were already fans

I admit, I don't know what came over me when I was painting this... but here is a crazy watercolour abstract Doctor Who painting from yours truly.

I really need to brush up on my circular gallifreyan.

“It's beautiful, yeah... The sky's burnt orange, with the citadel enclosed in a mighty glass dome, shining under the twin suns. Beyond that, the mountains go on forever. Slopes of deep red grass, capped with snow.” - The Tenth Doctor

Oil on Canvas, 40x60cm.

It took about 30 hours over the course of nine months, and I learned about four new painting techniques for this, and it was all so worth it to finally bring the Gallifrey in my head to something tangible.

Ok, but consider...

You can't just give me a bunch of elite sheltered assholes in a domed, transduction shielded city associated with a destroyed 'homeworld' and not expect me to make connections.

(also sorry Rodan, you don't deserve to be giffed next to Lindy in any respect, let alone twice over)

[alltoowellsscarf]

Things I would do if I became the doctor who showrunner:

1. Bring back Gallifrey again

2. Make the doctor and the master kiss

3. Fucking blow up Gallifrey again two seasons later

😟 Who's Really the Sorriest Doctor?

When we think of an apologetic Doctor, the 10th Doctor immediately leaps to mind. But is he really the most apologetic incarnation? Here's a number crunch of all the times the Doctor has apologised ...

These are from televised episodes/telemovie only, using keywords like 'sorry,' 'apologise,' and 'apology.' Retracted apologies or those used for clarification haven't been included. Episodes counted in serials for classic era. And of course, there's not guarantee how many of these were genuine apologies ...

Key Observations

Most Apologetic Doctor (By Average): The 15th Doctor takes the crown with a whopping 4.67 apologies per episode. Though, given his short stint so far, there's still plenty of time for that to change.

The Usual Suspects: The 10th Doctor, unsurprisingly, ranks high with 2.79 apologies per episode. But the 11th and 13th Doctors nudge him aside with averages of 3.09 and 3.16, respectively.

Not So Sorry?: The 1st Doctor had a measly 0.70 apologies per episode. Grumpy and not in the least bit sorry about it.

The Rise of Remorse: There's a clear trend of increasing apologies as we move through the modern era. Recent incarnations (10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, and 15th) seem to be getting more in touch with their feelings.

The Sorriest of Them All: The Tenth Doctor might not be the sorriest on average, but with 145 total apologies, he's got the highest raw number of sorries.

Companion-Driven Apologies: Some Doctors apologise more depending on their companions. For instance, the 12th Doctor's high apology rate coincided with Clara and less so for Bill.

Do you think, in Journey’s End, when Martha threatens to blow up the Earth to stop the Daleks, the Tenth Doctor has a flashback to him destroying Gallifrey?

And how Davros says The Doctor turns ordinary people into soldiers, he realizes it’s true. Because The Doctor was an ordinary person turned into a soldier and he did destroy is own planet to stop the Daleks. And Martha was going to follow in his path. A path he created first.

Do you think he saw himself in Martha? And all the things he’s ever done? All the deaths he caused? How, the only other planet he’s ever called home, was going to be destroyed by him, again?

How it was going to happen all over again, all because of him?

Cause I do.

Do you guys subscribe to the theory that (at least, starting in NuWho) the Doctor can, somewhat, subconsciously control his regenerations?

Like, of course, 8 wanted to be a warrior, so he became the War Doctor (I know that he drank a potion for that, but that might’ve just been lemonade according to the Target Novelization).

War wanted to be the hero, to earn the title, the Doctor, again, so he became 9.

9 wanted to be someone who was the perfect partner to Rose (human), so he became 10.

10, in his vanity, wanted his final regeneration to be young, so he became 11.

11, after all the heartache, wanted to be more distant (and also what they said in series 8), so he became 12.

12 wanted a kind, fresh start, so he became 13.

13 wanted to open up to someone, so she became 14.

14 wanted time to heal, so he split off 15.

This is not an original theory, and I'm not even saying that I buy into it fully it, but it's interesting. It would be interesting if the Doctor had a tiny bit of control over their regeneration (Romana did, somehow) and most of the time his wants either backfire or only half work.

What do you think?

[fanonical]

gallifrey: got some straight gas🔥😝 this strain is called "the time vortex" 😳 you'll be zonked out of your gourd💯

the doctor: yeah whatever. i don't feel shit

five minutes later: dude i think i just started hearing the flow of the universe

the master, pacing: the time lords are lying to us
