Srsly TL;DR, wtf

Tsk tsk, I've been terrible about updating my journal. There's three posts I want to make - a photo post of Christmas etc, that decade meme and my thoughts on End of Time. I'll start with the last, since I've now seen the Confidential.

What was I thinking writing all this down. )

ramblings, doctor who, the tardis deserves her own tag

I MADE IT THROUGH WHAT DO I WIN

Yes everything you said. And I'm thinking I'm thinking! There's a way to make this work by gods. DX

I agree with almost everything you have to say here.

When he busted through the window, I thought of this:
http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/3p5 and then http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/3p6

Also, did you notice how when the chibi!Millennium Falcon was diving through the atmosphere the camera was shaking because of the turbulance, and then when they cut to the Master on the ground on Earth, the camera was still shaking because of the turbulance?

You could say that your TARDIS is in the process of healing (and maybe getting to know Eleven better as he helps her recover from the damage he caused, and also gives her a makeover because Steven Moffat said to) and so she's limping around all injured for the next four months. She doesn't have to be totally destroyed to fit canon.

P.S. Get on AIM or something, I wants to chat.

P.P.S. And by AIM, I of course mean MSN.

Lolol, that comic is quite accurate.

I thought the shaking was from Gallifrey coming back? I don't remember if that was already happening at that point. There was just so much shaking.

Hmm, I quite like that idea, except that would make her AU when the new series starts. Because there's set photos of Eleven in Ten's suit, so you know there won't be any time passing canonically between the crash and season 5. It would be a good option though if I do decide to go AU.

Sorry about the chatting, I was already in bed. :( We can chat tonight if you still want to though.

Oh right, Gallifrey. Forgot about that.

...Wait, how would that cause shaking? The two would collide into each other and crack apart about 30 seconds after it appeared, but there's nothing in space to be displaced or to transfer any disruption, so there should be no shaking until the two planets got so close that Earth's atmosphere was sucked away. Which, people still breathing and all, I'm assuming didn't happen.

THIS IS WHY NEW SHOWS HAVE SCIENCE ADVISORS.

Those set photos aren't from the special, by any chance? Okay how 'bout this: the TARDIS is knocked out by...whatever's supposed to have knocked her out, and she's dreaming (or hallucinating, or testing the integrity of her memory circuits) about previous adventures. Ones you haven't written yet.

And yeah, I'll be around today also.

Okay. This lady in white thing. I don't even. All of the ideas are... kind of silly.

Cryptic hints and messages... talk of being lost... Okay, perhaps the TARDIS does make sense with both of those, but...

What the woman in white actually accomplish? She convinced Wilf to "take up arms" and go with the Doctor. Told him not to tell the Doctor about her. Convinced him to take that gun -- to no point I can discern, save to have Ten pointing a gun at people. (I mean, he can pretty much destroy machinery with his sonic screwdriver -- why does he need a gun?) But in the end... she sent him along with the Doctor. Him going with the Doctor directly resulted in the Doctor's death.

I'm not particularly convinced that her intention was to be helpful. In the end, I see no positive results to her actions. So is she Susan? Is she the TARDIS? Or even more tenuously, Rose or Donna? I don't see anyone who cared about the Doctor going back and leaving these cryptic hints that ultimately lead to doom. And most especially, I don't see any of them ( ... )

Yeeeah, I suppose none of the theories stand up to any sort of closer look. She could be a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy - Ten was supposed to die after the four knocks, so she is there to make sure that happens? Which I suppose could work for the TARDIS, though it's rather uncharacteristic for her to get involved. But maybe she felt that with Ten's extreme fear of dying, she had to make sure he did what was necessary, and so sent Wilf along with him to keep him on track. Likewise, if the Doctor knew she was communicating with Wilf, surely that would side-track him? And she wouldn't be all that fussed about the radiation-poisoning regeneration. Nay, she probably thinks it's time for him to regenerate anyway, with how unhinged he's become. XD It's his permanent death she really fears, not regeneration, so telling Wilf to supply the Doctor with a weapon to defend himself against Rassilon properly killing him makes a sort of sense too ( ... )
