It's Nonsensical Theories Based on Flimsy Evidence Day!

May 23, 2011 02:23

Yay!

Note that since I came up with most of these I've seen other people put forward the same theories, but I arrived at them more or less on my own, so. Yeah. For what that's worth.

( Spoilers for the most recent episodes of Doctor Who, Transformers Prime, and Generator Rex behind the cut. )

...I kind of like the creepy in this instance. *looks ashamed*

Well, okay, like isn't the right word exactly, but one of the reasons I like the theory is because it gives the whole relationship an unsettling and weird vibe. No illusions about how likely it is in canon, but there's enough little inconsistencies that I might like to play around with it in canon with ideas like false memory, conspiracy, et cetera.

Huh, I didn't know that about Holiday's original name! I always assumed it was a purposeful reference to the gunslinger Doc Holiday, hence my assumption that it was a pseudonym that she adopted to reference that figure, but if they were starting out with "Christmas" then that's not what they were originally going for.

I'd also never heard of the theory of Noah being Rylander's son. Is it odd that even if I know it doesn't work in canon I kind of want to roll with it and work out the implications in fic?

'Alternately, the series ends with Amy beating up Death to save her husband. Well, I'd watch it.'

DO WANT.

(I can't remember if you're a Discworld fan, but now I sort of want to see Amy playing poker against the Discworld's Death for Rory's life. Because THAT WOULD BE AWESOME. :D

I am indeed! And yes, yes, that would be a fabulous conclusion, although by that point Death might just want to be rid of Rory because he's screwing up the whole process of collecting and escorting. At the very least, he'd play to lose that hand.

I really wish there was about a thousand times more Discworld/Who crossovers than there actually are.

I read that last line as "late night rabbits." Just thought you should know.

stunt_muppet May 28 2011, 04:28:36 UTC

There are late night rabbits in here! How'd you know?

And I've having a hell of a time getting them all to sleep, too, I can't even tell you.

Rory keeps nearly dying because he is the damsel in distress and it is awesome. :) The Doctor calls him "Mr Pond" at some point, if I'm not mistaken.

(I <3 your crazy theories but thus far S6 is looking to have plenty of its own wackydoodle revelations coming up.... I just hope my trust in The Moff is not misplaced. You're being pretty smart in putting off starting S6, is what I'm saying.)

WOULD YOU BY ANY CHANCE LIKE TO DISCUSS SEASON 5 THO BECAUSE I AM AVAILABLE FOR THAT

It turns out I was so attached to the idea of Rory as the designated damsel of the show that the one time he wasn't (in the most recent episode, apparently) I actually got kind of annoyed about it. And at the fact that he didn't canonically take her last name.

It's just. I don't know about Season 6 thus far. It seems to be so very dramatic, so very OH MY GOD WHAT A TWIST that I'm not feeling it so far. I want to be feeling it, but it just isn't as fun as Season 5 was. And the Twist at the end of The Almost People was really no help.

I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO DISCUSS SEASON 5 AND HOW VERY META IT WAS AND HOW THE OPENER WAS RATHER FANTASTIC AND ALL. WOULD YOU? I WOULD.

I take it you are still reading spoilers but not watching? Because I felt like his non-damsel-ness was 1) a place the show needed to go, if only so he could return to normal and 2) the actor pulled it off adorably and 3) it was sort of a plot point? Idk. If you've caught up with the episodes by this point, I'm open to discussion/mind-changing ( ... )
