Zaroff: Nov 10, 2009; Nothing in the world can stop me now!

IIRC it was mostly stories about each Doctor, however it featured a story about Adric written by Matthew Waterhouse.

I know that I've been posting a lot of strange things about Doctor Who but considering that I was scheduled to speak at Chicago TARDIS 2022 and the only reason I didn't was due to threats by the government, the recording of which is available here:

(Admin snip: 10 minute recording of muffled voices)

I have a library full of evidence that not just time travel is real, but a lot of the cultures recorded by the Doctor are, too. I can even point to the timeline and explain exactly how and why certain things happened.

I'm asking for people to recognize that the world is bigger than they thought, not so small that something so wondrous couldn't possibly exist.

These are 2 extremes, a person can be anywhere on the "World is bigger - No wonder" spectrum surely?

Oh, hey - you're back. Really, all I'm curious to know is this: How come nobody showed up to Hawkings time travel party? You'd think one would show up at least for the booze.

Edit: Uh oh I'm staring into the abyss aren't I

Does that cover feature all the Doctors� and Adric?

Is Adric a secret incarnation of the Doctor?

Probably for the best I posted this after Chibnall stepped down.

Bonus points for including both 10 and 14, minus for not including Fugitive, score 0.

Minus eleventy billion for not including the Morbius Doctors

Mark Gatiss, too.

I'm ashamed to say I don't recognize most of the ones on the bottom, though I assume at least a few of them are the Morbius doctors, judging from the rockin' 70's hair.

edit:
vvvv Ah, well okay then, that's more faces than I remember but that scene is always a bit of a blur of facial hair in my recollections.

I hope they don't. He was great in the role and deserves some great stories and some closure before we move on to the next.

Still holding out hope he regenerates into Missy, who has no idea that 12 was before 13.

I wrote him off as dead but having given it a second moment's thought, this version was the Rasputin version and I'd be a fool to think he dead/regenerated.

I also thought he was great in the role but I guess they always get someone who is. Least I can't recall any

I don't mind if there's no master for awhile but when they inevitably return I agree and would like it to be the current one.

I'm a little Mastered out myself, now that you mention it. Partly because they undid all that wonderful development they got with Missy.

But Sacha Dhawan was so wonderful to watch, so I was willing to go along.

But undoing personal development is a very Master thing to do, so I liked it
