Theory on the Monks

[DimesDan]

In fairness, the new stuff is (mostly) better IMHO

Yeah I watched a Davidson adventure with Cybermen, a ship crashing to earth and some Wesley clone dying and it was shite.

 

[Professor Zoom]

No one. You just seem really upset that I called a fellow fan, a fan like it is a bad thing.

No. Not at all. I'm just confused why you needed to tell us all that Christopher's theory was just a theory. Like we didn't know that already.

 

[DimesDan]

Imitation is the best form of flattery.

So this, following the thread on Discovery about POSSIBLR SPOILERS REDACTED. Is my second thread in a row that got completely derailed. Ho-hum.

 

[diankra]

Oh, now that's an interesting theory. I hadn't considered that angle and I can certainly see that being the truth.

Ooh. It just struck me that in the very earliest ideas for a certain vintage story the invaders were 'Star Monks'.

 

[Professor Zoom]

What was the story?

 

[Lonemagpie]

What was the story?

The Tenth Planet

I've been watching Doctor Who since the days of hiding behind the couch and wishing my brother hadn't talked me into it. I was more scared of the Cyberman than the Daleks but that changed later.

The early ones were black and white and grainy. I kind of don't want to go there. About Tom Baker and K9 days .. that's more like it. The current ones border on being okay.. I was just getting used to this new Doctor.

It's almost as if technology has advanced in the 54 years since Who started.

 

[Professor Zoom]

The Tenth Planet

Ahhhhh.

 

[Timofnine]

I hope that the Mondasian theory works out to be true, I love this idea!

 

[JRoss]

Yeah, I like it better than my theory. I chalked up the weird disconnect between mouth and sounds to a bad internet connection. We watch on Sling and it skips sometimes.

 

[Mr Awe]

Count me as one who thinks it's a neat theory and hope it turns out to be true!

 

[DimesDan]

I hope that the Mondasian theory works out to be true, I love this idea!

It's a shame it didn't hold any fruit. Was a great fan theory though.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Yeah, too bad indeed...what we got was bland in comparison...and on its own.

 

[publiusr]

If you want to see more of the same--watch the films like TOMB OF THE BLIND DEAD.

 

[Mr Awe]

Agreed. That theory would've been more interesting than what we got.

 

[StCoop]

I think they officially count now as the most useless villains in the history of the series.

 

[φ of π]

Wasn't there a group of aliens that could shoot lightning from their fingers and mess with people's memories? I just can't remember...

 

[JRoss]

Wonder if there's anything to it that there were 12 of them? Like 12 "ghosts" of a Time Lord.
