For the first two Doctors, is that extant episodes, or including the missing ones?

Excluding missing episodes would explain the discrepancy in time between 1 and 2, certainly, though I wonder if this was put together before The Enemy of the World was found last year.

If it weren't for Big Finish, I'd have a hard time getting any narrative media at all with my schedule. And if you're doing a really good one, suddenly you find out that you've done the dishes and the laundry, swept up, cleaned out the cat box and hadn't noticed you were doing any of it.

I just recieved some VERY STRANGE anonymous messages on my Tumblr. Here they are:

quote:

Since the Great One has moved on, his countenance shining back and forth upon America and Cymru now, and usurped by the Caledonian Moff, it seems the perfect time to collect together the knowledge of his great works and write a splendid epic of his great struggles and works.

quote:

Some may argue that Pope has done our job for us (click here), but I say that no less than ten books of praise to His Munificence are necessary to adequately describe his great ascent into glory.

quote:

Book I should, I feel, obviously being with the Fall of Who, and Russelon's noble escape, carrying Ian Levine on his shoulders. We shall then chart the mighty struggles and travails of Russelon's great journey, the building of his retinue (Book IV shall deal extensively with the Romance of Orman and Bumlius), before the foundation of the New Who at Animalkwackium.

quote:

This follows the defeat and peacemaking with the tribe of the Tiveii in Book XII (after the lengthy corridor-running sequence of Book X, which also contains the discussion in the halls of Broadcasting House Omnipotent between Gradius, the Father of Gods and King of Men, and his wife Heggesso and daughter Trantera.)

quote:

Of Smarms and the Hack I sing,who first from the coasts of Cardiff,exiled by "Mine All Mine",came to England and London shores;much buffeted on sea and land by violence from upset"Bob and Rose" viewers,through cruel Miles' unforgiving wrath, and much enduring in war also,till he should build a travesty and bring his gods to DWM; whence came theToady race, the lords of OG, and the lofty walls of SFX.

I think he'll probably join the broad consensus in liking season 5, especially Amy's Choice, Vincent and the Doctor and the Beast Below.

Likewise I imagine him liking season six and seven much less, though I have a weird inkling that he might go against the fan consensus and like Let's Kill Hitler because of how very very dumb it is.

But maybe that's because I like Let's Kill Hitler because of how very very dumb it is.

Fair enough. Subtle is not the word I think of when I think of Matt Smith, but i suppose compared to Tennant a sledgehammer to the face would be subtler

Nope. Clicks don't work in Tumblr asks. So either it was copy-pasted from something that WOULD allow links, or it's part of the doom house mystique, which I already have in spades.

Alexander Pope?

I quite like that, actually. It seems to be a précis of Dr Who since 2005, written in the style of the Greek Sagas(think the Iliad or Homer's Odyssey, both of which would fit with the Pope reference).
