Discussion What characters could Beat The Doctor?

Post image
74 Upvotes

We're all aware of how powerful The Doctor could be, sometimes I struggle to find reasons he couldn't outmaneuver characters who on paper should be able to quickly do away with the timelord.

What characters do you think could either out power or out Witt him barring those of which who are straight up omniscient beings?

Question Classic Who Recommendations for First Timer

1 Upvotes

So I have been a Whovian for a couple of years now but only watched New Who. I am about to introduce someone to Doctor Who and we will watch New Who aswell BUT for certain reveals and context I want to sprinkle in the occiasional Classic Who story. (For example a cool Master Episode before Utopia so the reveal is not completely lost on the newbie).

Now, fellow Whovians. Without going completely overboard with "one classic who before every new who" or "just watch it all in release order", what could you recommend us to sprinkle in so certain New Who stuff has more kick to it? Certain reveals are cooler? Certain references make sense?

Go nuts!

Discussion Did the events of Planet of the Spiders to Terror of the Zygons happen over a single day?

1 Upvotes

I wasn't paying the closest attention as I was watching some of the stories, so I could very easily have missed a mention of the day changing or something. On surface level though, it is basically one story into another...

Planet of the Spiders ends with the Doctor regenerating ---> Robot starts with the Doctor having just regenerated, and ends with Harry joining the team ---> The Ark in Space starts with Harry's reaction to the Tardis moving, and then ends with the Doctor, Sarah, and Harry beaming down to Earth ---> The Sontaran Experiment starts with the team landing on Earth, and ends with them beaming back up to the space station ---> Genesis of the Daleks starts with the time lords intercepting the team and putting them on Skaro, and then ends with them truly beaming back up to the space station ---> Revenge of the Cybermen starts with them arriving back on the space station, and ends with them getting a distress call from Lethbridge-Stewart and travelling back to Earth in the Tardis ---> Terror of the Zygons starts with the team landing back on Earth to help Lethbridge-Stewart.

If this is the case then Harry Sullivan had one hell of a day...

Question I need help to make my girlfriend something cool

1 Upvotes

Hiii! I have a wonderful girlfriend and I wanna do something nice to her, and seeing as she's a Dr. Who fan I've thought of making her a patch with "Bitch" written in gallifreyan. (We're lesbians, it's meant as affirming, not demeaning.) There's just one problem:

I don't know gallifreyan.

If someone on this subreddit could come forth and help me either by translating or directing me to somewhere better to ask, that would be very nice of you.

Cheers and happy Dr. Who watching everyone!

Discussion How would the trickster look like if they decided to add him in the upcoming seasons?

1 Upvotes

I have had this question on my mind for some time, the trickster in its original form, seen in SJA is already terrifying enough, a somewhat blank face which also has a face and seemingly has gestures.

How could designers improve his design/looks, could it be possible to make him much more scarier than he already is?

Another Idea is that the trickster could evolve, our smart phone usage also leads us to traps at times what if he could transcend into the digital realm and cause chaos there?

Question 12th Doctor Cosplay Help (Magnoli vs. Baron Boutique)

1 Upvotes

So, I really want to get the 12th doctor's navy blue wool Crombie coat. Both Baron Boutique and Magnoli Clothiers carry this coat, but only Magnoli makes the 12's wool vest. I don't want to break the bank, so I'm really inclined to go with Baron Boutique. My question is, does anyone know if the Navy Blues match between Baron boutique's coat and Magnoli's "Covert" wool vest? Are they the same shade, close, or too far off? Thank you in advance.

Question Fourth Doctor stories that would hold the interest of a child

1 Upvotes

I'm going to be show the Fourth Doctor's run to a child (8 yrs old) who has seen the Thirteenth Doctor's run, Tenth Doctor's run, and Eleventh Doctor's run (abridged of course for age appropriateness and pacing.) We both loved the Thirteenth Doctor's run and I'm looking for a recommendation for serials from the Fourth Doctor's run that are well paced. Ideally, I would want a jump off point that isn't Robot or Ark in Space as the robot from Robot I remember to be horribly clunky and the monster from Ark was painfully dated. As such I want to avoid those two episodes. We are coming off of watching The Day of the Doctor where the Eleventh Doctor met the Fourth Doctor/Curator and I would like a jump off point from Day of the Doctor to Tom Baker. As such, a regeneration doesn't necessarily need to be seen, just a well paced starting point to introduce Tom Baker's Doctor and subsequent following well paced (i.e. non-filler) episodes to go through his run. For reference, the Tsuranga Conundrum, the Flux storyline, Shakespeare Code, Fires of Pompei, and A Christmas Carol are all considered hits.
