How dare you call my mother a donkey!
That'll do.
Ah, das ist einfach ein Haufen Scheiße! ¿Wie kommst du überhaupt dazu, so ne Bullenscheiße von dir zu geben?!
Whatever you said, I disagree and have a problem with

Uhmm uh... Bratwurst?
fürwahr
With the return of Mel and the mention of Sabalom Glitz, I decided to go back and watch Trial of a Time Lord. I marathoned all 14 episodes with fairly fresh eyes, I had not watched it in well over a decade. Each story is honestly super well put together, and the stories themselves are pretty interesting sci-fi on their own standing. The way the trial is woven into the stories, the edits, the way characters act "out of character" when in parts that had been manipulated within the Time Lord Matrix, feels well ahead of its time for 1986 television. also, it feels like a waste to have The Valeyard pop up and not be dead at the end, and then we never see him again. Like, that was a huge reveal. The Valeyard is actually The Doctor, but only his dark side, and is looking to eliminate his virtuous half. That honestly sounds like something straight out of modern Dr. Who. I'd always hoped we would see more of him.
I had heard that this season was not well liked, and that Colin Baker was partially to blame for being not very popular as The Doctor... But I dunno. This season feels like an amazing season. I think it's a shame Baker didn't get one more season as was originally planned.
It's not a bad season and Mel is over of my favourite Classic Who companions. And I liked all the Valeyard name jokes.
While I know it wasn't meant to be funny, the final scene of the Doctor exercising and then having regenerated in the first scene of the next season really looks like he died from exercising and healthy eating. They even make fun of that in the series 8 intro with the Pater Noster Gang.
Lol I know! Man. In the 80's, we had VHS copies my aunt had taped off late night PBS and our recording of Time and The Rani started late, with the Rani entering the TARDIS and we didn't see the crash. I distinctly remember being VERY confused! But now it all makes sense! Carrot juice! Damn it, Mel!
So I just jumped ahead today and watched Dragonfire, and wow, I forgot how sudden Mel's decision to leave with Glitz was. So hard headed! She did not want to be second fiddle to the Doc or anyone. You could call it rushed writing, but it somehow enhances her character a lot now with the context of what she said in The Giggle.
I hope we see a lot more of her and UNIT in the next season.
I heard she'll be in more episodes which is great.
Looping back, I just had a thought... Doesn't the existence of "Bi-generation" where a Time Lord can split into two entities create a strong case for the origin of The Valeyard? What if Doc 10 bi-generates again, and out comes The Valeyard? He was described as "somewhere between your 12th and final incarnation" back when 13 was the natural number of lives. With The War Doctor, we knew Tennant to actually be 11, but then he also did a weird half regeneration thing as well, didn't he? That would put his number at 12. And now he is back. Primed to perhaps become The Valeyard as some part of him inside becomes dissatisfied with the domestic life he's now chosen.
I kind of imagined 14 becoming part of 15 when the former is at the end of his life. That's why 15 already had three for all of the trauma. Maybe the Watcher from Logopolis was a bi-generation like event.
As much weird timeline bending as they've done, Bi-generation could possibly explain a lot. Remember when 2 met with the Brigadier in The Five Doctors? He clearly knew all about 3 and was talking shit about how he "was not too pleased with his replacement" as if he had already regenerated yet also somehow kept living as 2 for a bit. "I'm not exactly breaking the laws of time, but I am bending them a bit."
Guys he’s watching you…
Who? OP? I hope so, this is for their benefit, but I also don't have anyone to talk to about Doctor Who normally!
I am loving this
I always knew there’s a giant spying on me
Not only a giant.
Pervs smh
Not only a giant.
So anyway, I started blasting.
Na wie gehts, altes Haus?
Ich sehe, wir haben diese Kommentarsektion erfolgreich erobert.
Menschen? Werft die Handtücher aus! Rindfleischettiketierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragenungsgesetz!
Luft hol DIESE KOMMENTARSEKTION IST NUN EIGENTUM DER BRD!
JAAAAA! Du machst mich Stolz!
Gerne doch, das mit der BRD ist inzwischen in meiner Autovervollständigung drin.
B: Und nun lass uns die Angelsachsen in diesem Faden nerven.
Und genauso gehört sich das auch. Nun, um dem obigen maimai alle Ehre zu erweisen, erzähl mir doch mal von deinem Tag, Schatz.
Ich komm, jetzt tu doch mal nicht so. Inzwischen wissen doch alle, das wir ein und die selbe Person sind.
Wir sind hier doch gar nicht in unserer gewohnten Nachbarschaft. Hier auf c/memes wissen die Leute nichtmal wer EherVielleicht ist. Also woher sollen sie wissen, dass wir er sind?
*er wir ist
Aber fürwahr, du hast ein wahres Wort gesprochen. Ich habe heute Gratismentalisten subventioniert, und du?
Danke für die Korrektion, mein Brudi.
Ach, das ist während meines zwei Stunden schwarzaus passiert, gut zu wissen. Ich habe heute mal einen Ruhigen gemacht. Also nur mehrere maimais.
So, jetzt ist aber genug gesabbelt. Alle ins Bett.
Paaaapaaaa nochhh 10 minuten ok???
Biiiiiitte!
8 Maimais an der Zahl.
Wo hast du diese Zahl her? Heute hab ich doch nur drei pfostiert?
Ja, aber du hast auf den anderen Profilen noch Sachen pfostiert, dein Schwarzaus verschleiert das. 8 in den letzten 24 Std..
Achso ja klar. Stimmt
Mal hier.
Oha, einfach überall
Darf ich auch wir sein?
Wir sind alle wir mein Brudi
an diesem gesegneten Tage
