Betrothal of Sontar scans and some new canon info?!

[sazzrah]

Got another book today (my Doctor/Rose-relevant book collection is ever increasing!) called The Betrothal of Sontar which is a collection of comics from the Doctor Who Adventures magazine featuring the Tenth Doctor and Rose (and one with Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart).

The book itself is really nice, has some pretty artwork on the cover and some

This was quite surprising to me since the TARDIS is impossibly huge inside, so why not sleep there?

We saw quite a number of companions' bedrooms during the 80's, so it *does* seem a little silly to assume otherwise.

........ Aaaactually ....

*Insert plot bunnies breeding here*

You could easily make something of the idea that the Doctor doesn't sleep on the TARDIS anymore. Maybe post-Time War, letting his unconscious mind roam free inside the TARDIS is a bad idea. Hell, maybe his dreams are hurting the TARDIS itself. Hmmmm.

Wish we could get some extra information about it really, because it's clearly something RTD has thought about enough to stop someone putting it in a comic. He tends to have huge mental backstory for all his 'canon-changes' so I really would like to ask him what he was smoking when he made that decision!

[icebluenothing]

.... I like to think that RTD just wanted to avoid the whole question because he didn't want to firmly establish whether Rose and the Doctor had separate bedrooms or not. :)

Russell T. Davies objected to because he said--and this is canon now according to the writer of Green Eyed Monster--that the Doctor and Rose never sleep on the TARDIS. They travel in it, but don't sleep there.

Uh. Yeah. I'm going to employ my rule of ignoring RTD's canon when it suits me, and this is DEFINITELY one of those times.

As for the amazon women--I'd say someone has been watching Futurama, haven't they? ;-)

Amen to ignoring RTD...Amen...

Where can I get this? It is less of a want, and more a physical need. xD

[sazzrah]

I got mine from Amazon.co.uk, but I know Amazon.com stocks it too.

S'all good I'm in the UK! Thanks! :D

[bubbles234]

Aaaand I just read the comic pages you scanned and OMG TEH CUTE, IT KILLS ME.

I am going to have suuuch happy dreams tonight xD

[azriona]

So. Ignoring. Canon. And I love canon, so that's totally atypical for me.

Thanks for posting the shots, though, they're absolutely hysterical!

Sometimes I think RTD and Co. make stuff up just to screw with fic writers. "Ha! Let's see them try to write a fic given these ridiculous new limitations! Marvellous!"

[sundance201]

.....Is it weird that a little RTD totally just said that in my head, complete with clapping his hands and everything?

[ladychi]

Nope! He just did the same in my brain...

Awesome! *adds to Christmas list*
