Why couldn't they have done this?

So, um, couldn't the Doctor have just parked the TARDIS on some deserted planet while he and Martha hung out at the TARDIS' pool for three months? (The TARDIS' pool that I'm saying *totally* grew back after Seven mentioned he'd jettisoned it.)

The TARDIS is *impenetrable*. They've got food stores...or at least plants. They could eat plants. Yeah. Or make a quick hop to food and then back again. And it wouldn't have to be boring! X-Treme Laser Tag on Level 24! Marathonning all of The Sopranos! Discovering what the *hell* the Doctor left on Level 72, why he left it on Level 72, and why it was humming "Dead Man's Party" by Oingo Boingo.

Family of Blood: *knockknockknock*

The Doctor: *through the closed door* Hello?

Family of Blood: We'd like to be immortal, please.

The Doctor: Piss off, you bastards!

Family of Blood: *knockknockknock*

The Doctor: Didn't I tell you to piss off?

Family of Blood: Uh...candygram.

The Doctor: What?

Family of Blood: Candygram for *muttermuttermutter*.

The Doctor: Who?

Family of Blood: Candygram for mister *muttermuttermutter*.

The Doctor: You don't fool me! You're that Family of Blood!

Family of Blood: Dammit! Well...we're gonna go get the hoards of Genghis Khan! And bring them back here! And...assemble them!

The Doctor: Yeah, you go do that. Gimme a bit of notice, will you? I wanna make popcorn first.

See? Emo-free AND a S1 reference!

I think the reason they didn't do that was because it would have made for a slightly boring episode :)

Plus they just wanted to increase the angstometer to postive 1 billion.

I want to see your season 3 *gets popcorn and settles on the beanbag*

Boring?! Okay, maybe a little. But they could have, um, had Ten sitting around in his underwear while washing the suit! And...a kitten runs in! And he and the kitten bat around a ball of yarn!

You need to prepare people for Land Shark references. I have tears in my eyes from laughing so hard.

MWAH! :D

Candygram.

Flowers.

HA! *smooch*

Sometimes I think they forget that the Doctor's, you know... smart.

Oh, Doctor Who and it's plot holes of d00m.

I keep wondering how the Doctor was able to put easter eggs on Sally's DVDs when he was stuck in 1969 when DVDs hadn't been invented yet. So I'm just not going to think about it. Falalala! *sticks fingers in ears and hums*

He had Billy do it. They mentioned that he set Billy up in some job and he worked up to DVD recording, and then put in the easter eggs. I'm still wondering wondering when he made the actual recording, though.

Oh, okay. *can successfully put brain back together*

That was really bothering me for a while. *bows down to your superior knowledge*

That's what he needed Billy for. he got him to work in Publishing and then got him to put the Easter Eggs on the only DVD's Sally bought :)

Ha! Thank you. Apparently I'm unable of catching things like "really important plot detail." I feel so much better having this info, you have NO idea. XD

Sometimes I think they forget that the Doctor's, you know... smart.

Ha! Quite. I really love it when they show him being 25 steps ahead of everyone else. It doesn't happen often enough for my taste. Blink was fantastic in doing it, though, just because of the recording. Which meant he had the entire thing plotted out before they got zapped to 1969. YAY! That's *so* the Doctor.

...

...

I'm really not sure. Except, as debs7 says, to ramp the angst level to infinity and beyond.

Discovering what the *hell* the Doctor left on Level 72, why he left it on Level 72, and why it was humming "Dead Man's Party" by Oingo Boingo.

We really need more detail on this.

On the other hand, I'm watching Three call his "familiar spirit" (Bessie) to him in "The Daemons". *snortgiggle* So really? A whatsit humming whatever song that is on level 72 is positively banal. ;-)

However, I just discovered that "The Daemons" has five episodes, not four, and I'm missing the last one and can't get ahold of it do to certain *cough* issues. Argh.

Damn! :(

We really need more detail on this.

I'm picturing a tribble-like thing, just kinda hanging out. And humming. :D

MWAH!!

Land sharks! *flails*

*CHOMPS*

Candygram! Oh, Land Shark reference for the WIN!

And you realize that you need to write this up as a fanfic now, don't you? "Three Months the Doctor and Martha Spent Locked in the TARDIS". It would be the most crackity crackfic ever, and we would all adore you for it. *g*

Bwah!! :D

Poor, poor Martha. I'm thinking much of her day would be spent entertaining herself as the Doctor would be off having a good cry at the Rose potato shrine...

Oh, I've made myself sad.

Well...if the Family could have found him they would have been able to make threats like "Come out or we'll go bomb a small village in 1913" so he needed to hide well enough that they couldn't find him to make vague threats or real ones.

The Family wouldn't be smart enough to appeal to the Doctor's sweet tooth "We've got jam, it's finger-lickin' good."

Ah, good point! Of course, with the Doctor in his current state he'd probably be all

Family of Blood: We'll go bomb a small village in 1913 if you don't come out!

The Doctor: So?

Family of Blood: No, really! We'll do it!

The Doctor: Go on then.

Family of Blood: Seriously!

The Doctor: Not stopping you.

Family of Blood: OH, COME ON!

The Family wouldn't be smart enough to appeal to the Doctor's sweet tooth "We've got jam, it's finger-lickin' good."

Oooh yeah. The Doctor would totally come out for jam!

So, um, couldn't the Doctor have just parked the TARDIS on some deserted planet while he and Martha hung out at the TARDIS' pool for three months?

Um...maybe he was afraid Martha might maul him? If she's that fascinated with his tight trousers, I can only imagine what seeing him in swim trunks would do to her.

Mwah!

Oh, you really shouldn't ask questions like that.....

Of course, he couldn't park away with Martha for three months or they would have exploded with UST.

But I have worked out why she was looking so well groomed in "Blink". It's because he cheated and peeked at the stuff Sally handed to him. So when they got marooned in 1969 he already had £500 on him in pre-decimal UK currency, faked references for Dr Martha Jones and the key to a really nice flat in Mayfair. Otherwise they'd have been stuck together in a tiny bedsit for three months with no money to go out and nothing to do but watch three channels on a black and white TV and......well, you can imagine. They'd have got desperate enough to do it sooner or later.

HA!! Martha asks why he keeps disappearing and he starts babbling about timey-wimey stuff and runs off. :D

You know ... I have to wonder.

We know what happened to the pocket/fob watch.

What happened to the book?

The Doctor's Dreams, all real, all left with Joan.

Yeah, you do wonder about the book. Did it wind up in someone's attic?

I'm thinking we'll see it later this season.

Torchwood, maybe. Or in the hands of Mr. Saxon.

There's far too much valuable information in that dream diary to let it just slip.
