A scene I'd love to see

[The Borgified Corpse]

In the meantime, I have my own idea for a multi-Doctor scene I've been wanting to see lately. Rather than doing it as a separate special like "Time Crash," I'd just like to see a random scene in the middle of the episode where Eccleston & Smith happen to cross paths while in the midst of totally unrelated adventures. I just think it would be really funny to have that moment of unexpected awkwardness in the middle of an episode. Plus, I want to see Eccleston's reaction to Smith's wardrobe!

what's EJA's post got to do with me correcting Ar-Pharazon's misremembering of the numbers of the Doctors in COTFD?

chuff all.

It was self evident that Ar-Pharazon was always talking about Curse fo the fatal death which makes absolutely no sense if EJA was talking about Scream of the Shalka in the OP? I mean why talk about apples when you're supposed to be talking about oranges? They are completely different Doctors. You might as well talkabout Tom Baker snogging with Rose.

If EJA was talking about Scream of the Shalka in the OP, then no one should have ever mentioned Curse of the fatal deaths since the doctor from Scream of the Shalka wasn't in Curse of the fatal deaths even if the same actor had been tapped.

Bizarrely, the title of this thread reminded me of a scene I'd pictured with REG reprising his role as the Shalka Doctor.

I liked to imagine that a Time War movie might one day be viable, and would showcase Number Eight's final battle. At the end we would watch as he regenerated into Eccleston as reality fractured around him. Shattered mirrors lay on the ground and walls around him, metaphors for the last Time Lord's broken self, but they are not normal mirrors, they're a bit timey wimey. Additional to Eccleston's ninth dusting himself down and staggering back to the Tardis, we fleetingly glimpse both Atkinson and Grant in various shards. The Tardis dematerializes and the camera focuses on a larger shard where within we see REG Nine climb to his feet and stagger to the Tardis.

A second movie would follow this alternate Nine as he saves numerous worlds like any good Doctor would, but he never quite shakes the feeling that something isn't right and he starts trying short circuit his time-line looking for other versions of himself.

No idea how it might play out though, but I also imagined a French version of Dr Who being rather Clouseau esque, with subtitles. It could work.

I actually wasn't aware REG had anything to do with Shalka. I've only ever heard the title of SotS, never watched it.

If you read my first reply, you'd remember I asked about what EJA was talking about.

Hence my confusion about the whole looking glass idea. I assume that was a story point of SotS.

As far as Tom Baker snogging Rose, I figure Tom would be OK with that

 

[Guy Gardener]

Yeah I got that.

It was quickly pretty clear you had almost no idea what scream of the Shalka was.

So I have no idea why you think I would be telling you that you are fully reversed in a subject you are clearly ignorant about, when I have only ever been reminding a few people obsessing on Curse of the fatal deaths that this isn't a thread about Curse fo the fatal deaths, of which you were clearly one of those people, because it's quite possible, almost a frakking certainty, curse of the fatal deaths has nothing to do with the original post.

As in you know what I have been saying the whole time and I have no idea why you feel singled out.

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

Oh, I don't feel that way at all.

And I was only the third reply to the original, which as you said, I missed the exact point of.

 

[Guy Gardener]

exactly! You were the third person to jump to the same possibly wrong conclusion.

You're part of a crowd.

I'm the one being oppressed for my beliefs by the status quo. Railed against by a wave of collective certainty.

I'm not sure how you came to think you were the fallguy?

back on point...

More Derek Jacobi as he master.

The Master as a Companion for frakks sake.

How can you (the greater you, the broad almost universal you, everyone else and you) not clamber towards such a delightfully camp performance?

 

[Mitty]

This is one of the most confusing threads ever in this forum.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Then you have to ask who would win in a a battle of wits between Sylvestor McCoys 7th Doctor and Sylvestor McCoys Chiropodist?

 

[captcalhoun]

This is one of the most confusing threads ever in this forum.

blame guy. he was the one who had to confuse it.

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

The scene I'd like to see is Derek Jacobi, as Yana, but 5 or 10 years before the events of Utopia.

All that fixed point in time stuff, #11 would be beside himself with the urge to take some kind of action.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Granted.

but you understand that this isn't the same Master either?



Kidding.

Though to explain...

In Scream of the Shalka he's a robot with the Masters Mind wobbling about in the Tardis who turns OFF for a few mminutes as soon as he starts to formulate an evil plan or tries to leave the ship (I think he was powered wirelessly by the Tardis.).

The Master without the drive to do evil is barely the Master at all.

I'd like to see Jonathan Prices Master in a Wedding Ceremony with Joannah Lummly's Doctor, when an assassins bullet takes out he master who regenerates into a woman, AND THEY STILL GO AHEAD WITH THE WEDDING.

Emma should have at least tried to give the Doctor a good snog to see if it felt okay before she rejected HER outright.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I'd settle for a flashback featuring the 8th-to-9th regeneration. Which, given Eccleston's attitude, we will probably never see.

 

[EJA]

What exactly is Eccleston's attitude?

Anyway, what I was aiming for with my first post was to say that the entirety of NuWho takes place inside a bottle universe within the Classic Who universe, the one where R.E. Grant's Ninth Doctor from Scream of the Shalka exists.

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

Oh sure, now you come back, after the war

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

What exactly is Eccleston's attitude?

He left after only a year. So I assume he would not be eager to return, even for just one bit.

 

[Whofan]

Yeah, apparentally he didn't get along with one of the directors, and also wanted to focus more on his movie career (Although he's been in some noticeable flops since, although GI Joe did OK commercially).

 

[Guy Gardener]

But morally it was an anal lesion.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

^ Eh?

Has John Simm's Master ever said "I am the Master and you WILL obey me"? I'd kinda like to see that. Although it wouldn't be quite the same as Delgado or Ainley...

 

[Guy Gardener]

Once, to a hooker he got to party with Lucy on her birthday.

The prostitute counters "How are you paying?""

To which the old timelord replies "Mastercard."
