This is a bit... er...

Disjointed thoughts on guns, Doctors, Captains, things that glow, and that chick in tonight's ep.

( Spoilers for Doctor Who 4.06 )

I thought it was Jack's gun!

Alternatively, the Who propmasters just took the Webley from the warehouse, because TW weren't filming, that day.

Hah, could be!

I assumed too much like him = too much of his human DNA to regenerate.

thirstyrobot May 11 2008, 02:33:13 UTC

Oh, that makes loads more sense!

asolitaryraven May 11 2008, 02:35:50 UTC

Wow, I didn't even realize there were these many references, I only noticed a few... but whatever it means, I doubt it's only random...

When the Doctor says Jenny was too much like him, is he implying he doesn't have any regenerations left?
I was thinking that he said it because she stepped into the way to save him. Or maybe also because of the whole soldier similarities they kept mentioning throughout the episode...

Ah, yeah, the soldier thing. Which we also get when Donna meets Martha. Maybe something to that too, but I'm too tired to work it out.

monkeyqueentart May 11 2008, 02:37:42 UTC

I thought that too! That's JACK's gun!
Oh a side note: Jack + Jenny + on an episode/show together?? = WOW.

I THINK I WOULD DIE OF SEXUAL EXCITEMENT.

TMI? Was it a bit too much? But seriously. Jack=hot. Jenny=hot. Jack + Jenny = way too hot to deal with OMG. Just me? Y/Y?

thirstyrobot May 11 2008, 04:07:23 UTC

Not just you! Cap'n John did say they needed a blonde...

My head would explode. Or Ianto's would.

monkeyqueentart May 11 2008, 04:12:41 UTC

Hmm...well, Ianto was amused by the thought of an orgy. ;)

the limit is usually 13...Time Lords can find several ways around it - the Master did, when he became the Master (Ainley years) & then became the Master (Jacobi and Simms)

13 might be an average, a norm, rather than an absolute.

thirstyrobot May 11 2008, 04:08:09 UTC

Aha. That's my 'rubbish at classic Who' showing. :P

rodlox May 11 2008, 04:20:33 UTC

I'm no better.
I only found out about the dodge around it, from two places:
* NuWho's "sound of drums" finale - the Master says he was brought back to fight the Daleks.
* Classic Who's 4th Doctor trilogy where he became the 5th Doctor - "Keeper of Traken" & "Logopolis" & "Castrovala". the Master didn't regenerate, so much as he...best word would be overlapped someone else (also played by Anthony Ainley).
Companions - Adric, Nyssa, Tegan Jovanka.

I hope this helps.

have nice days & be well.
