Does anyone else randomly collect doctor who DVDs even though they're literally all on iplayer? Just for the funzies of owning something cool? Cuz I do. Anyway, here's my collection so far

It's a pretty small collection but still really cool I also own this weird DVD with The End of Time (both parts) and The Eleventh Hour and it's in a paper case because was sold alongside a newspaper, but that wouldn't fit in the pic

Doctor Who - Stingrays

[casasupernovas]

there is an ah-MAZING 10th doctor x lady christina edit on tiktok and while i normally cannot stand her, it did make me view the episode differently.

my main critique was that christina was so yuck. she's a snobby rich kid who is so bored with her life she steals for fun. it should be a cool concept but christina is so selfish and vain you kind of think eurgh. i have no doubt if she became a companion however, that she could have became a better person. we'll never know. her sexual tension with the tenrh doctor was brazy though. but that was another thing i was put off by because i was like...what? the doctor has had better companions than that, we've seen them. rose, martha, donna come on raise your standards man.

until i read someones comment about how they loved this episode because to them, this was the beginning of the timelord victorious arc and it all clicked. because he IS lowering his standards for even entertaining it. he CAN do better. but he's literally turned on by her doing something wrong because he recognises the trait because he also literally got started on this whole story of the show by stealing the tardis. he likes this stuff. they might have negatively impacted each other more than likely.

in summary, it makes me think of the 'dream weaver' audio adventure when he goes to this seedy tavern/bar place and donna is appalled that he's apparently a regular there.

Planet of the Dead is the funniest episode of Doctor Who to me. It's set up from beginning to end as an introduction for the new companion. The Doctor doesn't have one at the moment so the audience knows they'll be someone new joining ASAP. The epsode hits all the notes to show us Christina's personality, her banter with the Doctor, her skills -- the Doctor could use an Action Girl to compliment his technobabble. It is so formulaic. They work together so well. The episode practically bashes us over the head telling us "this is the new companion".

And then at the very last minute, the Doctor is like, "Nah, I don't feel like it."

Doctor Who: Planet of the Dead - comments while watching

Oh that girl's pretty (also that burglary was very sexy)

Wtf did they just drove into

Oh. A desert. Okay. Sure. Why not.

Reminds me of Tatooine, it even has two suns!

Such a girlboss, love her (too strict tho, if you ask me)

10th has incredible calming skills

That storm doesn't look very good

Christina would be a great companion, not enough compassion tho

That's hella lot of flying creatures

They make such a good team, gonna miss her

Bloody Harry Potter this (love a flying double-decker)

CLOSE THE WORMHOLE YOU STUPID DOCTOR

Finally. Aaand it's on fire.

They look like one kind of dragon from HTTYD

Ooh and a kiss! I love this show.

She's too crazy for a companion

WHY DOESN'T HE WANT A COMPANION, YOU NEED ONE

That was a scary prophecy

(Can you tell that I watch DW alone and need to share my very random thoughts? No? Okay.)

Behind the Scenes of Planet of the Dead - Part 24

Excerpt from TV & Satellite Week’s interview with Michelle Ryan:

She endured many a fight in Albert Square and in Bionic Woman, so battling aliens should be a piece of cake for Michelle Ryan as she takes on the role of the Doctor’s light-fingered companion Lady Christina.

The 24-year-old was required to perform a number of stunts for the role. “I got a real buzz when I was pulled on a wire 50 feet up. But I did once fall flat on my face when I was running down the sand dunes in Dubai.  Doctor Who Confidential has it all on camera.”

Ryan had never watched any of the new series before getting the role, but is now a firm fan. “I’ve got the box set and I can see why the show is so huge because David is a brilliant leading man,” she says.

“Being a Doctor Who companion wasn’t something I’d thought about, but when I was having photos taken to make the action doll of Christina, I thought, ‘This is really cool’.”

Ultimate Doctor Who Poll Round 2 - Matchup 24

Episode Summaries under the cut

58: Planet of the Dead - 2009 Easter Special: While the Doctor is traveling on a bus, it drives through a portal, transporting them to a desert planet. He and another passenger, Lady Christina de Souza, go to explore the area and are captured by aliens Tritovores who reveal that the sandstorm approaching is actually a swarm of alien creatures who have eaten the Tritoveres planet, reducing it to a desert. The massive energy of them in the swarm is generating the portal the bus came through and will allow them to move on to Earth to keep feeding. They are able to use some technology from the aliens to make the bus fly and make it back to Earth, where the Doctor is able to close the portal.

71: The Fires of Pompeii - Season 4, Episode 2: The Doctor takes Donna for her first official trip as a companion, but takes her to Pompeii instead of Rome, the day before the volcano will explode. Donna wants to evacuate the city, but the Doctor claims that Pompeii is a fixed point in history and they can't change anything. They find that all of the soothsayers in the city can accurately predict the future and read minds. They do this by inhaling vapors from the vents around Pompeii, but also causes them to slowly turn to stone. Mysteriously, the only thing the soothsayers seem unable to see is the volcano erupting.

They discover that the dust is made out of rock-like aliens that are converting the soothsayers into their species. Their base is inside the volcano sapping energy from it, which in turn would cause it to never erupt. They plan to conquer the Earth as they lost their own planet. The Doctor realizes that in order to preserve history, he must disable their device and cause the volcano to erupt himself, killing everybody in Pompeii to save the Earth. He makes the decision and begins to leave, but Donna begs him to save at least one person, so they return to save a family they met and use the TARDIS to get them to safety.
