I can see them doing one where David Bradley's First Doctor teams up with someone.

I don't feel like checking, did they line up Karen Gillan to appear at the same time she does in the actual Endgame credits, and if she doesn't, what's the point of the exercise?

4/10 sounds like a really fun combo, especially if they both lean into their MANIC side. On the other hand, from the description it sounds like they are going to look at 10's fear of impending regeneration with our post "Time of the Doctor" knowledge that he had only one more regeneration left. This is interesting because RTD never wrote him that way, but now they can explore that and Tennant can play him that way. Bonus points if they acknowledge that he has to fear that he might be regenerating into The

I've always (post 11) kinda interpreted 10's Time Lord Victorious thing as being at least partially motivated by being on his last life that ends in a do-over. The angst about "I die, and a new man goes sauntering away" also fits into that neatly. He doesn't even get to properly die as "him". Even if that was never on the table when RTD was writing, and it was just general vanity/attachment to that incarnation, it works pretty well

Legit my initial read on this was that it was Bradley Walsh having the meltdown and I got so sad, then I realized it was just Graham Linehan and got sad all over again remembering the creator of some of my favorite comedies of all time is a gigantic loving bigoted rear end in a top hat.

I’m rewatching the revival from Rose onwards for the first time in at least a decade and wow I do not remember Tooth and Claw at all. I mean I very vaguely recall a werewolf episode but I do not remember it opening with a team of Karl Pilkington shaolin monks demolishing a bunch of old villagers like something out of Hot Fuzz.

Every time I do a rewatch I am confused as to how I forgot an episode with kungfu monks, a werewolf AND Queen Victoria (also the first on-screen explicit reference to Torchwood if I remember right?) and then when the episode is done I promptly forget it all over again.

Torchwood gets namedrops all through season two, but Tooth and Claw is the first time it's really front-and-center and you get an explanation for who they are. Harriet Jones namedrops them in the Christmas Invasion (they're the ones that shoot down the Sycorax ship). I thought they appeared somewhere in every single episode, but apparently they're not in New Earth. Cleretic fucked around with this message at 04:47 on Jun 2, 2020 |

It's weird that like, the show's treatment of Mickey is, "he's an idiot, a bad boyfriend, he sucks and is stupid and irrelevant, and then also several seasons later Martha marries him". Huge whiplash between two points, neither of which are particularly compelling.

To be fair, throughout the first two seasons he stands up for himself, refuses to let himself keep being walked over, and actually demonstrates a growth and maturity that Rose herself fails in her love-blind fantasy of her and the Doctor being a couple. Given where both characters start in the show's first episode, Mickey goes from the nice safe guy who is just happy with his relationship and doesn't have any desire for his life to change to a proactive guy who is trying to be a better all around person. Rose goes from somebody stifling in a life of unrealized potential to somebody who wants to just be in a relationship and for her life to continue in the same vein it current is forever.

It's especially bizarre because the show never acts like the Doctor is in the right (or wrong) for being a dick to Mickey. He's a well fleshed-out character with his own ideas and beliefs and the Doctor is just an rear end in a top hat to him. It is, in fact, kind of difficult to not read it as the Doctor being racist, or at best jealous and also racist. There's shades of this with Danny in the Capaldi era too, but fortunately we can assign most of the blame to Very Bad Human Being Gareth Roberts.

In Rose, Mickey gets kidnapped by the Nestene, held captive in their base for basically a day until he is rescued, and has to deal with the new information that (a) aliens exist and (b) are deadly. He’s rightfully dealing with a LOT of trauma at the end of the episode. But you know, gently caress him, kidnap his girlfriend and literally vanish right in front of him. As Mickey rightfully points out in Aliens of London, the Doctor irreparably damaged his life. He got investigated for murder and ostracised by the community for Rose’s disappearance.

Yeah, 9 seemed to get over his issue with Mickey by the end of the Aliens of London two-parter once Mickey had shown himself to be brave and capable. I can't remember if he then persisted with calling Mickey an idiot and using the wrong name in Boomtown though?

Mickey: You ruined my life, Doctor. They thought she was dead. I was a murder suspect because of you. The Doctor: See what I mean? Domestic! Mickey: I bet you don’t even remember my name. The Doctor: Ricky. Mickey: It’s Mickey. The Doctor: No, it’s Ricky. Mickey: I think I know my own name. The Doctor: You think you know your own name? How stupid are you?
