Crazy the Doctor has a 20% chance of dying from radiation poisoning
What Would Have Happened If The Other Doctors Stepped on the "Boom" Land Mine
One: The land mine is diffused by the power of parental love much sooner. Splice and Mundy join the TARDIS team after he decides that Splice will be his next fill-in granddaughter.
Two: Plays the recorder instead of singing. Jamie attacks the ambulance with his knife as soon as it attaches the lines to the Doctor, and it's only Zoe that stops him from getting killed. The detonation happens much sooner because the Doctor gets antsy and plays with the fiddly bits.
Three: Expertly controls his blood pressure to stop a premature detonation. Tries to keep his companion far away, but they discover the land mine anyway. Takes the land mine with him after it is diffused to use for spare parts in the UNIT lab.
Four: "Harry, I'm standing on a land mine." Doesn't bother with a counterbalance and just stands on one foot for the whole episode. Snacks on some jelly babies while waiting for the right moment.
Five: Has an in depth conversation with Nyssa about how he is regulating his biology on a molecular level. They use a cricket ball from the TARDIS as a counterbalance, meaning that he never gets shot or targeted by the ambulance. One of his companions still ends up getting shot, at which point he falls over, immediately self destructs, and blows a giant hole in the planet.
Six: Gets far too irritated for his blood pressure to stay low. Could really do with some of Evelyn's cocoa right about now. The land mine blows up because he cannot calm down enough to disguise his presence.
Seven: A much longer conversation on how the Doctor is a complex space-time event. The countdown finishes, but the land mine doesn't blow because he had disarmed it at the beginning of the episode. The entire time, he was just pretending the land mine was live in order to teach his teenage companion a life lesson.
Eight: Forgets he's standing on a land mine and blows up. Gets into a passionate conversation with his companion about the war industry complex. Soliloquizes about life and death. Almost sacrifices himself in an inferno of self-loathing, but his companion saves the day.
War: His associates go back in time and extract him before he steps on the land mine. This new version of him continues fighting the Daleks while the time echo standing on the land mine is used to blow a hole in the nearby Dalek command ship.
Nine: Has flashbacks to the War while standing on the land mine but somehow manages to stabilize his blood pressure thanks to the presence of Rose and Jack. Jack manages to diffuse the bomb while he is on it thanks to his experience with Villengard tech.
Ten: "I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry." Tries to convince his companion to evacuate as much of the population into the TARDIS as possible because they would be safe there. Almost lets himself blow up, but his companion forces him to find a way to survive.
Eleven: The mine blows up in about ten seconds because he can't stand still. The entire planet is blown to smithereens, but his friends are okay because he locked them in the TARDIS.
Twelve: Gets into mind games with Clara while she is trying to figure out what he is standing on. Clara tries to take his place, but he doesn't let her. Missy eventually shows up and disarms the land mine because she wants to be the one to kill him.
Thirteen: Only manages to stay still because the Fam calms her down. Is oddly stoic about the entire thing and disappears into the depths of the TARDIS for several days after it happens. She never brings it up again even though Yaz tries to get her to talk about it.
Fourteen: God damn it this guy is supposed to be retired. He's supposed to be having a break. He talks about how much he loves his companion and how so, so sorry he is that he can't fix this.
Fugitive: This is a normal Tuesday for her. Probably has some sort of anti-land mine device in one of her coat pockets.
EXTENDED DOCTOR WHO RAMBLING:
Seven's scrapped regeneration idea in Alixion has always really interested me. For one, the lore implications that a Time Lord can regenerate through mental rather than physical strain are really interesting - and it still keeps the 'dark, rather sudden and humiliating end for the manipulator' vibe the Doctor Who movie regeneration for Sylvester still has.
I've been thinking about an idea for a sorta 'seamless DW TV show' idea where Seven's last season happens, then we get 3 with Paul McGann, 3 with John Hurt and 2 more with Christopher Eccleston before we segue into what's currently NuWho series 1.
DESCRIBING EVERY DOCTOR IN UNDER 10 WORDS
hartnell: "screw politeness, i'm a senior!"
troughton: idiot pretending to be smart pretending to be an idiot
pertwee: bond name's the james. name's jond. *car crash*
baker: just in case you were forgetting this guy isn't human davison: cricket player adopts traumatised children, goes through hell repeatedly
baker (2): walking dictionary looks like a rainbow vomited on his suit
mccoy: now ace don't do that it's rude *kills cthulhu*
mcgann: just in case you were forgetting this guy isn't straight
hurt: yeah that surname's pretty accurate actually this guy's life sucks
eccleston: socialist funnyman with post-traumatic stress disorder tennant: "i'm sorry... i'm so, so sorry.." repeat x50
smith: smart guy pretending to be idiot pretending to be smart
capaldi: teacher going through a badass midlife crisis
whittaker: just in case you forgot she isn't straight or human
On the contrary from my previous post - giving the Classic doctors NuWho style regenerations:
Hartnell: The Twice Upon A Time speech he gives, only he does it in front of Ben and Polly before doing the yellow T-pose and turning into Troughton.
Troughton: Very unsure on this seeing as there's multiple choices on where to put this (The War Games, Devious, The Night Walkers comic, etc.)
Pertwee: Instead of collapsing to the floor, he just stumbles out of the TARDIS and has Sarah-Jane hold him up for his last lines, he says 'when there's life there's...', has Sarah-Jane reply 'hope' and smiles, then regenerates. Not sure how you'd fit Cho'je into this one, to be honest.
Baker: I have no idea how this could be done and still involve the Watcher in a cool way, especially since the cause of the regeneration is a fall from a great height. Perhaps he just.. jolts up after the Watcher goes into him, grins then turns back and changes?
Davison: I have seen a YouTube version of this but if I recall it omitted Peri, but the flashback of all his old companions still works and the last line being 'Adric?' is still just as heartbreaking. Not sure how you'd involve Peri here, though.
Baker (2): I've always considered 'The Brink of Death' audio being Six's canon regeneration, so let's go off that. I'm picturing him, like.. holding himself up on the console? The Rani watches him just mumble to himself and walks over just in time to hear 'our future is in safe hands' then the change into McCoy.
McCoy: Very, very unsure on this since it's based on him being in a hospital bed already.
McGann: They essentially already did this, so I'm guessing the elixir just made him collapse for this one.
Interesting how it's a lot harder to modernify the classic regenerations as opposed to classic-ing the modern ones.
as i recall the expanded universe did. quite literally the exact opposite.
during like. the immediate aftermath of DW's cancellation the virgin new adventures got really dark and they made ace have sex every other story which is a bit weird in my eyes seeing as she was underage in the series (they aged her up but it still rubs me the wrong way tbh)
for the sake of clarification my headcanons for everyone in the sapphic companion poll:
nyssa - lesbian
tegan - lesbian
ace - bi
rose - demi (she wasn't there but shush)
clara - bi (literally canon)
bill - lesbian (literally canon)
yaz - lesbian (yeah)
I love being into Dr who cause I’ll be like “god what is WRONG with him!!!!” And the “him” in question is this guy
classic who went out with a bang
I made this cool and good meme about 7
7: Wait, that's not how things were supposed to go-
The Harvest moment XD This scene is always so funny, I love how panicked Hex is and how annoyed Seven is.
I had never thought about it before, but it's such a nice parallel to the entrance of Ian and Barbara! The Doctor is traveling with someone he's very protective of and sees as a pupil of some kind; said character is followed by someone else who wants to make sure they're okay- yeah, checks out XD
And then, the Doctor is a little shit to the new character(s), even if at least in this case he doesn't kidnap poor Hex
I'm conducting very important, scientific research
“12clara have the most fucked up doctor/companion dynamic” WRONG. Seven said this to the 17 year old who he knew saw him like the father she never had and he felt completely justified in doing so
Wooo I can also post my animations here :D
