Assorted Twelve thoughts

[elisi]

Firstly, re. the female Doctor issue... We've had two so far. One in the Comic Relief Special The Curse of Fatal Death (incidentally Moffat's first outing writing DW, and a gem that never fails to entertain! If you've not see it, make it a priority). The other was played by Arabella Weir (one of David Tennant's BFFs, as it happens) in one of the audio adventures. So it's not unheard of.

Speaking of The Curse of Fatal Death, you are welcome to check out my theory, which means that Twelve will be Hugh Grant!Doctor. I don't have a problem with this. *g*

However, the main point of this post is another bit of headcanon:

When the Doc regenerates, his older self isn't gone, it just goes home and watches his current self on the TV

This comes via di_br and her peerless vid: Tenth Doctor: The Musical. But of course Eleven couldn't sit all alone, could he? He has a family, after all. So, once Twelve's era rolls round, my 'reviews' will have a different flavour (I made a banner and everything. THEIR FACES!):


(Everyone's migrated to the sofa except for River who's not keen on fish custard, and also pleased to have the rest of the wine to herself.)

They'll do some kind of running commentary - not sure how detailed yet, but I'm sure I'll figure out a workable format. :) And don't worry, I'm sure there'll be meta too. But. Ponds watching Doctor Who? It's irresistible.

You've seen the vid I link to in the post, right?

But he’s just sat here and wallowed in self-pity, forever trying to justify his actions to himself.”
Indeed. Poor Ten. (Did you ever read my Hollow Men meta, btw? It's pretty much my final word on Ten.)

So bleak. So lost. Thank goodness for Eleven.

I *have* seen it. At least a hundred times. They are *adorable*!

I did read Hollow Men. Very good, and very depressing.

Of course, I intended my story to have a happy ending. Twelve would've helped to set Ten straight, and while Ten wouldn't immediately become happy and perky, he would've been on the road to recovery by the time it was over.

Thank you. :) (And since Ten actually quotes The Hollow Men, I figured that the parallels were deliberate... Well, Ten is tragic as hell, and Rusty likes that.)

I approve of this. It saddens me to think of Ten as eternally miserable.
