Thoughts on Ten
Along with the announcement that DT and CT will both be returning for the 60th (though no details on exactly what form that 60th will take next year), there've been pics posted of DT on set in costume. (Thanks, bas_math_girl!) Apparently, his brown suit, rather than sporting thin teal pinstripes, is now brown-and-teal plaid. I'm sure speculation on what this means is running wild over the tubes. So what do I think?
Warning: Don't open the cut. What's inside is entirely what I hope will happen, which is probably not what you hope will happen, and you will likely be disappointed and/or horrified.
I actually took my cue from the picture showing DT in that suit and wearing a dark blue wool coat. Now, it could just be a costume protector, though usually those aren't wool coats. It looked more to me like a blue version of the brown wool coat.
And that got me thinking that this is an alternate-universe Doctor and Donna, not just D&D from Series 4 caught up in a short in the time differential and aged by fifteen years. Maybe it's alternate timeline rather than alternate universe, but further thinking on it made me decide I wanted the following, and thus it can't be alternate timeline.
Because what I want is basically "Disassembled" from Big Finish's Gallifrey series: Fourteen encounters Ten and Donna while trying to solve some situation and they work together to solve it, and just before they succeed, Ten is revealed to be the actual antagonist (yes, I'd love him to be the Burner Doctor, which I guess means that Donna will be the Best Assassin in Chiswick) - and to top it all off, Fourteen enlists whatever previous Doctors RTD can attract to defeat him.
Now that's what I want to see. It's your fault for clicking the cut.
