I love your bit of head canon there! My version of those events (for a pre-Tenth Doctor/Captain Jack fan fiction) had the Master ‘rescuing’ Adric and the Doctor rescuing him later in the story. Just enough of a rescue to get Adric off of Brigg’s freighter and to relative safety (even if it’s more of an…

You will never get any argument from me about Adric’s sendoff. I very nearly stopped watching the show because of it. The only reason I kept watching was that curiosity got the better of me. I blame Eric Saward love of rather gratuitous violence (Warriors of the Deep and Resurrection of the Dalek are prime examples of…

Rolling my eyes at that very blatant over-generalization (I can think of at least 3 or 4 other people, besides myself, who like Adric.) Speaking strictly for myself, I started watching Doctor Who in the sometime around October ‘82 or ‘83 (either way, I was about 16) and started off with the 4th Doctor. Much as I loved…

If I recall the scene correctly, even while on fire, the Weeping Angel was still flickering like static when it (the paper it was drawn on, more precisely) was doused. I believe the Doctor only crumpled the paper, therefore leaving the image intact when she set it on fire. I’m not sure what would have happened if she…

“the Doctor, Yaz, Graham, and their fleeting new friends”

I’m not sure what the answers to questions 1 and 4 are, but here are my best guesses on your other 3 queries... 2) I think that each angel has a specific time that its victims get sent to (although this episode would be an exception, since everyone seemed to be sent back to 1911 within the same village regardless of…

I like what I have seen of the Fugitive Doctor, so far. I do think, however, that it’s a bit unfair to pigeon-hole her as an alternate version of the War Doctor. We have yet to see her in her own context, only within the context of Thirteenth Doctor. I would love to see what she is like when she’s fully in the…

I have yet to figure out how this fits into the Flux plot line, but the Temple of Atropos has had me pondering for the past three weeks. Atropos is the name of the eldest of the three Fates, or as I just learned, The Moirai (or in the Flux context... Mouri?) Atropos is the Fate/Moirai who cuts the thread of each…

Am I the only one who upon seeing the Flux in action, had flashbacks to the Entropy wave from the episode Logopolis?  Or the Nothing from The Never-ending Story?  An enormous black mass devouring everything in its path.  Admittedly, not quite as dramatic as the roiling red mass that is the Flux, but every bit as…

As far as Romana is concerned (and provided that we’re picking up from the end of Warrior’s Gate and not trending into all the Big Finish side trips) there is no hand-waving needed. When last we saw her she was with the Tharils, who can travel between E-Space and N-Space without difficulty. Also, another possibility…

The Garthims are the giant spider/hermit crab things. Plus the Skeksis draining the pod-people of their life-force is pretty traumatizing. I loved the film, but holey smokes there are some truly terrifying things in that film.

Personally, I don’t mind watching black and white episodes, it’s how I first saw them when my PBS station finally got around to showing them. I like the old episodes and classic movies just as they are. I can just see some over-enthusiastic colorist colorizing the Kansas scenes in The Wizard of Oz and completely…

Check the description on the slide for “Jose Chung’s From Outer Space”. There’s a reference to the team-up of Jesse Ventura and Alex Trebek. I guess that Charles Nelson Reilly was the primary guest star in that episode, because in the slide show it was his name that was listed. I hope this answers your question.

Well, at least Big Finish is audio only so we only need be blinded (or deafened?) by the cachophony of colors that is the 6th Doctors coat on the cover.

Agreed.  Despite my earlier comment, Lennier was one of my favorite characters on B5. I was really gutted when I found out what happened to him.

Ouch! That’s harsh. I was thinking more like Lennier (who was actually one of the Alna’Shok... and who died stupidly.)

I went back to look again at Samuel L. Jackson’s instagram posting listed above and noticed that there was an arrow indicating there were more pictures. There were two other images, both of the t-shirt. It definitely would have saved a lot of confusion if they had posted the image of Mr. Jackson wearing the shirt…

Ooooookkkk?

Who’s Debbie Moon? It would be nice to have a female show runner *again?* (I’m not sure if Verity Lambert was considered the show runner or if that was Sydney Newman.)

I’m so glad to find that my mind isn’t the only one that’s warped that way!
