Buffy ,'Lessons'
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Yes, he was the inventor-chappie from "Voyage of the Dammed". Glad to see he's still inventing.
I read somewhere - or was it on the Confidential? - that the original version of the script for 4.13 had Original!Doctor giving New!Doctor a piece of "coral" from the Tardis with which to build his own. Perhaps we can just assume that happened, even if we didn't see it. (Well, I'm gonna anyway....).
Fiona, in light of that, I think Daniel's idea that the Doctor 10.5 is still a very clever man, and could conceivably tinker around until he'd made something to gad about the alternate!galaxy in, just a wee bit more do-able. I wonder how long it takes for a TARDIS to grow - had been more or less assuming, a long time. Also if the Doctor has a heck of a time doing the job of six Timelords in piloting one alone, whyfore would it be reasonable to think that a semi-human Doctor would be better off cobbling something together that would be more manageable.

because he'd be building it from scracth to be flown by two? (awwwwww)
and maybe Tardises (Tardi?) grow faster in the parallel universe.
Hey, Rose managed quite a bit of hopping about even without one... I doubt the two of them will remain stuck for long.
DW 4.13
Trudy, this is what I'm thinking "because he'd be building it from scratch to be flown by two? (awwwwww)" is reasonable. Or maybe because he's the Doctor he might build it to be piloted by three or four, so it is still craxy-flyin' but more manageable for his reduced capacity. And also, to make it generally more intuitive for a human user, if not a human/Timelord hybrid.
I just wonder whether he'd make it look like a 1950s police box. You know, for sentimental reasons.
Didn't somebody in episode 4.13 say something about the chameleon circuit, or am I imagining that? Oh well, another reason to rewatch... .
Fiona, DoctorDonna did.
say something about
Yes. Donna did. She started saying something about the binary whatever (talking about the chameleon arch) and that's when she started spazzing.

Maybe when he originally builds it the chamelion circuit works, but then it breaks and gets stuck as a police box.
When Doctor Who first aired were police boxes still in use or were they already antiquated?
If I recall correctly, he originally landed in a junkyard.

No, they were still in use. I remember seeing them around in the '70s, and there was one on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh which was there for ages and might even still be. Of course, they had Doctor Who overtones already, even then.
Hah! The one in Edinburgh is still there!
