I love humans. They always see patterns in things that aren't there.

For some weird reason I was looking at the DW 1996 movie quotes.



The Doctor: It was on the planet Skaro that my old enemy the Master was finally put on trial.

WTH?? They put the Master on trial on Skaro? (I did not remember this.) Surely the Daleks themselves wouldn't have put him on trial for his "crimes." They'd have just shot him if he'd screwed them over. Hmm. Maybe that's what started the Time War.

Time Lords: We do really love putting each other on trial, but the Master smells like cheese. Why is that, by the way? No matter. Let's move his trial to Skaro.

Daleks: WHAT IS THIS WE ARE SMELLING?

Time Lords: Hee.

Daleks: [ARE PISSED]

The Doctor: Wait, I remember. I'm with my father, we're laying back in the grass, it's a warm Gallifreyan night... A meteor storm. The sky above us was dancing with lights. Purple, green, brilliant yellow.

Just awwwwwwwwww.

Grace: I suppose you knew Madame Curie too.
The Doctor: Intimately.
Grace: Does she kiss as good as me?
The Master: As well as you.

See, Doctor? When you correct someone's grammar, you sound like a dick. And also sound a bit jealous for some weird reason. Huh. Anyway, don't be emulating the Master!

The Doctor: I'm half human. On my mother's side.

Fandom: [EXPLODES]

I still say they need to do a mini of "Doctor Who: The Time War." Or at least an audio.

ETA: Spoilers for The Doctor's Daughter in the comments.

"The sky above us was dancing with lights. Purple, green, brilliant yellow."

But...the Gallifreyan sky is orange. I could see yellow. Possibly. But how the hell would the other colours result?

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Um...Time Lord magic? :D

[kitsune17.livejournal.com]

They sure do have a lot of that, don't they?

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

At least you get your exercise from all the handwaving. ;)

[tsukara.livejournal.com]

Well, the night sky could be a different color. After all, our blue (daytime) sky is the result of certain refraction properties of sunlight, but looks black to very,very dark blue at night. Also, you still get the Auroras, which produce a wide variety of colors, everything from greens and blues to reds. The meteor storm could be producing a similar effect in the Gallifrey night sky.

Skience, I has it!

I concede defeat this time but I've go my eye on you. ::narrows eyes::

The Doctor: I'm half human. On my mother's side.

Fandom: [EXPLODES]

Bet his mother was a dumb blonde shopgirl who wasn't good enough for his father.

... just sayin'

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

HA!!

[a-white-rain.livejournal.com]

I WANT THAT CANON.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

And there'd be a hit-and-run mention too...

Doctor: Oh, right. I'm half-human, by the way. Mum was a London shopgirl. [jumps into the flooring to fix something]

Rose: ... WHAT.

[larissa-j.livejournal.com]

I'm sure the Blonde London Shopgirl thing is genetic. That sneaky Time Lord DNA and all. I mean, it explains Jenny. When the Time person isn't male, the DNA asserts itself as a manifestation of the 'blonde' entity.

*snerk*

I'll bet Jenny had a desire to fold clothes and price merchandise in her spare time.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

I just snorted. OW.

[larissa-j.livejournal.com]

THE DNA DOES NOT LIE!!!!!!

IF THE PROPAGATION FITS YOU MUST

oh... um... wrong speech

.... anyway. Yeah. I'm sure that somewhere along the line, evolution kicked the Time Lords in the butt and a codon was inserted that brought them to their knees at the sight of a wee shopgirl with blonde hair... or really any pretty thing with blonde hair, a stunning smile and a London accent.

It's even better if she's qualified in gymnastics... and oh that didn't come out right! ::facepalm::

[a-white-rain.livejournal.com]

Oh Doctor. You really do need time on the couch.

[larissa-j.livejournal.com]

GOD, I should be careful. Some sick idiot in the fandom will write a story where Jackie is the Doctor's mother. Or, maybe they already have! *eyes fandom*

::headdesk::

I'm going to go throw up now.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

I'm SURE it's been done.

And I have never tormented beck_liz with the Doctor's brother hooking up with Jackie. Because that is also very WRONG.

[larissa-j.livejournal.com]

No no no no his brother hooked up with Sylvia making Donna his... niece.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

No, but see, Jack is his nephew!

Okay, hold on. The Doctor's brother is enough of a slut to father both Donna and Jack.

[larissa-j.livejournal.com]

Oh... GitF makes so much sense now.

That was the Doctor's brother! The Doctor was locked in a closet in the TARDIS!

After GitF and before RotC, the Doctor kicked said brother's a** and he headed off for parts unknown.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

*nods sagely*

[beck-liz.livejournal.com]

HEY! I see you! *wags finger*

[a-white-rain.livejournal.com]

............OKAY EWWWWWWWWWWW.

[chloris67.livejournal.com]

Hee! I guess you want to see fandom *really* explode!

[larissa-j.livejournal.com]

I... *hangs head in shame*

Yes. It is my secret shame.

Sadly, I haven't gotten the impression that the other Time Lords had this much of a sense of humor. Pity, that.

I still say they need to do a mini of "Doctor Who: The Time War." Or at least an audio.

I would love that, so much. With the timey-wimey inclusion of Eight, Nine AND Ten. At the least. Come on, Rusty, you know you want to!

It'd be a very stoic "hee." ;)

You could even leave out Ten as far as I'm concerned. Not that I don't like him and all...

[chloris67.livejournal.com]

WTH?? They put the Master on trial on Skaro? ... Maybe that's what started the Time War.

That's as good an explanation as any!

Over ten years later fandom is *still* exploding over the half human line. I'm willing to bet they never clarify that statement.

I do wonder if I should watch this. It sounds terrible, but maybe in the right frame of mind...

Probably not.

Oh, it's pretty bad. Amusingly bad.

[larissa-j.livejournal.com]

The Americans do Doctor Who? How could it be good?

And I say that as an American.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

I just was reading over my review posts, and... Yeah. It really didn't have a chance in hell of being good, but this was it's own special brand of cheesetastic. :D

[millylicious.livejournal.com]

I always said and still say that him being half human? Makes total and complete sense. I mean, why would he spend so much time on Earth with the whole universe at his hand, why would he keep to human companions even if he calls them stupid apes? Why would he be such a rebel?

And also, the regeneration. I mean, Romana tried on bodies before she settled on the one she wanted. The Doctor's regeneration always imply something very traumatic (amnesia, bursting energy, being dead for a while) before, during and after the regeneration.

It would fit, wouldn't it? I could easily see them saying he's 100% Gallifreyan, but it wouldn't be that much of a stretch to do the half-human thing.

HMMMMMM. I wonder if other Time Lords ever had problems like the Doctor. You're right about Romana. And even the Master didn't seem to have a single problem in New Who.

[clinicallybored.livejournal.com]

A little off topic but the scene where Jenny hit the guy being distracted by the mouse reminded me of City of Death when the Doctor kept yelling at Duggan (?) for hitting people.

I think. I haven't seen City of Death in five years so...

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's right! :D

[janetmaca.livejournal.com]

Bwahaha, all the comments crack me up.

And aww, I want more Doctor backstory.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

I think everyone wants that.

I swear you're trying to break the fandom. Methinks there's something shiny inside.

It's got a creamy nougat center.

Dude, don't try and find logic in the TVM.

Maybe the Daleks just have a really strict judicial system or something… *Imagines a Dalek in a judge's wig*

IN-NO-CENT UN-TIL PROV-VEN GUIL-TY

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

AWWWW! Is it very wrong I'm finding that adorable?

[shinyopals.livejournal.com]

Daleks are totally adorable, with or without the wig! XD

[threerings.livejournal.com]

Half-human is totally canon for me. As horrible as it is, I do have a certain fondness for the TVM. Mostly for Paul McGann.

[maypanic.livejournal.com]

The TVM of DOOM is a highly entertaining, quality filmatic wonder.
If you're very, very drunk.

Or so I'm told.

My preferred method is to fast forward past any parts without the McGann. Who is awesome and adorable and deserved so much better.
As opposed to Grace, who for some unknown reason freaks me the hell out.

Half-human must never be clarified. Because right now both sides- the "That explains so much!" and the "Pfft, he was suffering from regeneration sickness and speaking nonsense" people both have equal "proof" of their beliefs and that pleases me in some bizarre, possibly twisted, way.
A mini or audio of "The Time War" would be amazing. McGann would totally come back as long as they don't try to make him wear that wig, so all we need is someone to clone Eccles... I will even offer my home for the clone to live in afterwards. Because I am just that charitable.

I would love to see him in a Time War mini.

I'm not really a Grace fan either.

Like matter and anti-matter both existing in the same space! Okay, wait. No.

My, that is charitable! (Maybe they could trick him, telling him it was the set for Heroes.)
