Saw Tom Baker was trending on twitter, and my heart dropped. Thankfully, it's a poll. Tennant voted best Doctor, which is clearly a lie. He's not even the best revival Doctor.

I'm just shocked Hartnell ranked as high as he did; he usually ends up at the bottom with Colin.

It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me.
Discovered the staying power of Murray Gold's music yesterday. I went to Universal Studios to test out their socially distanced haunted houses and one of them is themed to evil tooth fairies and as you enter they were playing a piece of music I immediately recognized, and then went "This is from Doctor Who" and within a few minutes, I pinpointed it as the Vampire theme from Vampires of Venice. Guess I listened to the Series 5 soundtrack a few times.

It reminds me of the time they had ‘I am the Doctor’ playing at an Ottawa Senators hockey game once - one of the last places I’d expect to hear it!

How does that work? Do they spray spooky hand sanitizer at you instead of ectoplasm?

You do get a pump of hand sanitizer as you enter, yes.

But they limit people going in so there is at least six feet between parties (If not way more) and where scary stuff is, they've put up plexiglass between actors and the guests. It was a different take on that kind of thing, but they were doing a great job keeping it as safe as possible.

That’s not the Brig though? The box just says UNIT soldier. It’s actually a Yates figure with a painted on moustache to make him generic.

Gonna be honest here: I have no idea what was actually going on with Ian's subplot in that. Everything else is simple, but then ... something to do with spies?

Now someone write a story of the 4th Doctor going back in time and wiping those things out by accident.

Backstory of that naming is that the scientists in Australia were all leaned over it asking what they should call it, and Tom Baker was there and suggested they name it after him, and nobody questioned that Tom Baker was just suddenly there.

That would be a great pull. Have the episode follow her for half an episode without giving the game away, and then have her run into the Doctor and co.

That would be the best possible version. But from what I remember she was going to be split into "temporal fragments" or something.
