Season 6B no longer exists due to BF's Early Adventure "The Black Hole". Please adjust your wikis appropriately.

How does it wipe out season 6B?

Eh, maybe it'll be good. I hope it's good. I enjoy "Doctor Who." Sometimes even when it's bad. So I'll keep watching, either way.

There are some corners of the universe which have bred the most terrible things. Things which act against everything we believe in. They must be fought.

I laughed too much at this. My wife wanted an explanation, and I just didn't know how to explain it.

I have some bad Doctor Who tastes, but The Rapture is just... Terrible.

My favourite part of War Games is when the Doctor proves to a German soldier that he's from the future by slowly unscrewing a screw in the soldier's gun, and then slowly screwing it back in. Then the soldier forgets, and he has to do it a second time.

Here it is:

That's amazing. Why does The War Games have to be out-of-print in the US? I want to watch that immediately.

My only real issue with Big Finish is that as much as I enjoy Peri and the 5th Doctor, I think it's a bad idea to have had them had years and years of unseen adventures before Caves of Androzani. Part of what makes that story so great is that the Doctor's so willing to risk everything and sacrifice himself for a companion he barely knows.

I agree with this. It's another reason I'm fine with wobbly continuity. Either Five knew Peri very well, or basically not at all. It just depends on the story you're reacting to.

Well he's a psychic projection of the Doctor's negative thoughts, and we now know the Doctor was on his "last" regeneration, so you could always argue he DID come back..... decades earlier in The Trial of a Timelord as the Valeyard!

I'd be fine with Jones playing the Valeyard in a modern story, bit I think it'd be difficult actually making the Valeyard good and/or not nonsensical.

David Tennant as the Half-Doctor/Half-Donna trying to get regenerations could be interesting, too. Probably bad, but interesting.

The Mirror has started a rumor that the 13th Doctor will be played by Matt Smith. Because he said he'd love to play The Doctor again. Him playing separate regenerations seems... unlikely.

With Big Finish now being able to use everybody up through Matt Smith and Jenna Coleman...what are the odds of new series companions showing up for Short Trips or Companion Chronicles releases?

I know some of them (Arthur Darvill comes to mind) have worked with Big Finish before, so I wonder who'd be up for coming back for a short story or two.

Darvill doing a Last Centurion box would be a pre-order for me.
