I go to Temple and enjoy soda. I also like dinosaurs and Batman. I promise, I am not a child.

I was hoping you could help me understand something, now that I've finally watched the season finale of Doctor Who. I know there are theories running around about who exactly John Hurt is (ex. The Doctor before he becomes "The Doctor; The Doctor between 8 and 9, etc.), but the one thing I don't understand is the joke about how "everybody skipped Nine!!!". I'd appreciate any input. Thanks.

The joke is that, if the rumors are true, since John Hurt would be the ninth incarnation, everybody would have missed the Ninth Doctor. I think that joke is stupid, but that’s me.

Just waiting, at this point, for people to ask why the Doctor didn’t recognize Clara as the woman who told him which TARDIS to steal.
Because it’s so hard to believe that he wouldn’t immediately recognize someone he met for fifteen seconds over a thousand years ago

So Clara seems to be the only new series companion who’s walked on the surface of Gallifrey, as well as the only companion ever who’s canonically met all on-screen incarnations of the Doctor.

Dear Clara Oswald:
- Good work in the finale, I’m sorry you had to die a whole bunch but it’s cool that you’re the only companion to have canonically met all the Doctor’s on-screen incarnations!

You know the people of Gallifrey catch a lot of flak for being pretentious enough to name themselves the “Time Lords” but when you think about it, the taxonomic name of our species is “The Wise Men”

I’ve been joking with my friends that the reason Clara keeps showing up in the Doctor’s life is probably something like “fell into a time hole”
Except now we’re four days out from the finale and it’s dawning on me that there’s an actual chance that’s what really happened
Whelp.

“Where am I?”
“You’re aboard the TARDIS. Wormholes acting up, I’m afraid, you fell right out of your universe and I caught you in mine. I’ll have you back in a jiff, though, give me five minutes.”
“Identify yourself.”
“I’m called the Doctor. And yourself?”
“Lieutenant Nyota Uhura of the Federation Starship Enterprise… What language are you speaking?”
“I suppose that depends. What language are you hearing?”
“English, with a received pronunciation British accent. But that’s not what you’re speaking.”
“How can you tell? I see you’ve got a Universal translator in your ear, brilliant technology, what’s it telling you?”
“Oh, it’s telling me you’re speaking English, but I know that’s not true. The sounds you’re making don’t match up to the movements of your mouth.”
“No one’s ever noticed that before, the TARDIS translation circuit is supposed to translate perfectly!”
“Most people can’t spot translated speech, but advanced xenolinguistics are my bread and butter.”
“Well, I like you, Lieutenant Nyota Uhura! Tell you what, before I send you back, take this with you.”
“A book?”
“A book I wrote. Mystery novel, very thrilling. Written in Old High Gallifreyan, so I’m the only person in this universe capable of reading it. Have fun with it.”
“It’ll take me a while, but I’m sure I can crack it.”
“There’s not a doubt in my mind. On your way, and make sure to credit me when you’re done translating it!”

I think it’s hilarious that both Doctor Who and Star Trek acknowledge that there’s too many contradictory things for them to take place in the same universe, and that Star Trek is a fictional series in the world of Doctor Who, but sometimes they still just say “fuck it” and do a crossover

Doctor Who AU where literally everything is the same except all Daleks speak in the voice of George W. Bush
