Trial Of A Time Lord- The Mysterious Planet (11.5.19)
PERI BE OKAY. PERI BE OKAY. PERI BE OKAY.
Ok so for this arc i know a couple things bc its fkn TRIAL OF A TIME LORD but idk when they happen but uh i guess I'll tell you if I know something when it pops up.
but uhh off the top of my head
* The Valeyard is the Doctor. I mean. It's really hard NOT to have that spoiled for you
* Uh the Master's in this
* There's a thing w the matrix at some point
* There's a thing w the Doctor being all "IM PRESIDENT OF GALLIFREY" an everyones like,,,, no
* The Doctor gives a speech on why the Time Lords are so horrible and says that they're rotten to the core
So g/agkejdnkcmvbgntrjewiodsklmcfd l e t s g o
!! New title sequence I LIKE
It's fun
ok i had to stop bc I realized I wanted to send some dw screencaps to myself so I could show it to a friend bc if I didn't then I never would
an now imma go change into pjs bc i want to so uh yee
k m back
also btw i know u don't care but i finished trials of apollo today and aRO REYNA ya YEET
k actually startin now
nICE looking spaceship yo
!! Intimidating beam of light looks good too!!
by good i don't mean "wow it looks real" i mean "wow it looks like its made of more than just a literal fucking shoelace"
CGI TARDIS!! neat!! it looks a lOT like plastic but it doesn't look like its tiny and made of clay so!!
wait i just realized i should prob get screenshots of all that
Just went back and realized there was a little six on the side of the spaceship
and oh yeah you can tell they're just showing off that they have like,,, a dollar more in budget
d
did sixie's hair get bigger
is six pulling a twelve on us
is
?????
oh just throwing us right into it w the valeyard i see
oh also i didn't mention it early but i am SO FUCKING GLAD WE'RE GOING BACK TO THE 25 MIN FORMAT
its just so much harder to find time to watch something 44 mins long then something 25 mins long y'know?
After this I have 3 sixth doctor episodes. THATS NOT ALLOWED WHAT THE SHIT WHAT THE SHIT
ok back to the ep
:))) Where's peri :)))))
Doctor. Where's. P E R I.
So is this a gallifreyan spaceship or did they just load a bunch of rEALLY important gallifreyan officials onto a spacecraft bc uh. That seems uh. Slightly. Dangerous.
Idk what's so Nice about classic who gallifreyan clothing i Just Like It
U trying to accuse xem of breaking the first law of time,,, /now./ Like dude 2 of the 3 times that the Doctor's broke the first law of time it was /on the council's orders./ The Two Doctors kinda happened just because -and to cash in on the nostalgia of fans at the time-
Ok so originally yeah i forgot that the 1st law of time was the no interacting w ur timeline one and thought it was the don't interfere with the affairs of other ppls or planets one (SHAME ON ME) and i was like??? You're trying to accuse xem of this AGAIN??? Like okie they bringing it up now
Too great a
Dude u sentenced them to regeneration, exiled them to a level 5 planet, tampered with their knowledge of the thing most near and dear to any Time Lord's heart- their TARDIS- wiped their best friend's memories, and sent them back to their time zones. No. I don't think you were fucking lenient.
Sorry i have feelings about The War Games.
DOCTOR: Only that this whole thing is a farce. I am Lord President of Gallifrey. You can't put me on trial.
so the office of president is only important to you when it gets you out of doing things I see.
and i'm SORRY for this comparison i'm really really SORRY but the phrase "you can't indict a sitting president" is eXTREMELY RELEVANT RIGHT NOW
R
ravalox.
Did u just make up a name for earth?? Dude the Time Lords call it Sol-3 not ravalox
And if stellian galaxy is meant to refer to the milky way
Dude the Time Lords call the milky way Mutters Spiral
ARHFLIJDSKHSLJKD PERI THERE YOU ARE
i was getting worried girl
oh ravalox is a different planet
ok nevermind srry
Oh wait i think i read a spoiler srry ravalox actually is earth isn't it but a thing happened
I've already said this but i rEALLY shouldn't have read those Doctor Who history things damnit
Peri's hairs a lot longer
Like time btween seasons yee yee i get it i get it but,,, still.
hhhhh these bbys are adorable
I love how you can hear nicola's real accent come in when she says "fireball"
any soil left after the visitation of a fihabohl would be sterile!
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh love these two sO MUCH
like ok I knew when I started that I'd probably like six. No clue i'd love xem this much. I just adore xem. Xe's got a lovely and fun relationship with Peri xe can be a lot of a dick sometimes but usually doesn't mean it and xe rEALLY isn't afraid to speak xyr mind and doesn't give two shits about being polite. Six reminds me of twelve and i love xem a lot.
PERI: Is there any intelligent life here?
DOCTOR: Apart from me, you mean? I don't know. Shall we find out?
i lOVE THEM
Six says it then Peri gives xem The Look and then xe starts smiling bc xe didn't really mean it and Peri starts giggling bc xe's an idiot and xe starts giggling bc peri's giggling and they walk off together both giggling and they're queerplatonic idiots F I G H T M E
oh I've heard of glitz
kinda every single person in the fandom hates him right.
Idk i didn't know he was a person then I saw him on this like "who's your favorite doctor who character" thing except it was stupid bc it didn't have all the classic companions (not all of the black and white era ones) and then they had the overall results and ofc it was skewed bc most of the nuwho peeps were at the front but the very very last person was glitz an i was like "who the actually Other are you"
ok so the earth is ravalox thing isn't a big reveal like halfway in it's literally mentioned in the first part ok.
so ok we just doing the thing where the cold open is in the future and we keep cutting back and forth between "how we got here" and then "here"
Hhh. Where is Peri. This is a thing I would like to know.
"Can't we just have the edited highlights?" can i hc this is adhd 6 like dUDE i dont cARE and i don't wANT to sit still can we get this oVER WITH
DOCTOR: I'm sorry. But look at it this way. Planets come and go, stars perish. Matter disperses, coalesces, reforms into other patterns, other worlds. Nothing can be eternal.
idk why but i like that
Also hhhhh another reason i like sixie is bc xe's so A L I EN. like fkn in xe's first ep they're near literally beating you over the head with a sign saying "THEY'RE AN ALIEN" and it's a bit heavy handed there but otherwise LOVE IT.
Also flashbacks (forwards??) to End of the World anyone?
k what the frickadoodle's going on
screencaps of the water thing
ok with the "space travel angered the gods" thing uhhh sounds to me like the Time Lords didn't like what u were up to and were like "nah" but violently.
"oLD ONE??!?!"
DOCTOR: I may look old to you, whiskerless youth, but I'll have you know I'm in the prime of my life. I'm only nine hundred years old. Now untie me at once.
I love xem so much its unreal
Dude if the waters such a big deal why leave it,, in a jug,, in the middle of a room
Moe by dick pffffft
I mean i assumed their books of knowledge would be something dumb and recognizable but pffffft
UK habitats of the canadian goose.
I don't?? know why that's so funny to me??? I love it??
BALAZAR: I think it best that you stand over here.
DOCTOR: Oh, why?
BALAZAR: Well in case some stray stone breaks the water jugs.
doctor: *gAaaAAaAAASP* yes
uMBRELLA ACTIVATE
i like how the Time Lords take the Doctor out of time and then force xem to watch an episode of Doctor Who
The Doctor sMILING ADORABLY at what they did w the umbrella i love u
DOCTOR: Oh, I always like to do the unexpected. Takes people by surprise.
my BABY
what happened to Borusa in the Five Doctors "meh meh meh gallifrey doesn't do the death penalty"
Just realized
The Valeyard said my dear doctor
like
ok i know
but sTILL
oh screencap of sixie on the floor and the ppl all around xem.
yee dude all u did was hit xem in the face with a rock xe's not very wounded xe's just going to be pissed when xe wakes up
Peri always goes "oh it's difficult to explain" whenever a person from the future is like "dude where u from" which is funny bc its the polar opposite of Jamie or Leela who would go "i got here in the TARDIS which is a BLUE BOX that's actually a SPACESHIP which is BIGGER ON THE INSIDE"
"I shall provide some excellent husbands for you" peri the lesbian all of a sudden isn't smiling so much any more
I guess /apparentlt/ the objection is supposed to come from "plural" and yeah as many partners as you want is fine if everyone wants to but "such women as we have must be shared." OOF YEAH NO
Six so salty xe complains about the quality of xyr own execution
so the cleverest youths see the almighty leader of our people that we've never actually seen. I'm getting The Krotons vibes and i don't remember half of that serial.
oh he eats them great.
"never believe what is said, only what you know" you sound like my geometry teacher
GLITZ: There you are. Obviously she's a romantic at heart.
PERI: Well, so am I, but not romantic enough to want more that one husband.
Idk why I love that. Like Peri is probably one of my only favs that I don't hc as ace or aro. I rEALLY don't get the ace vibes from her and not really many aro vibes. I just think that I really like the contrast of her and six and Peri raving about girls and six being like "eugh. romance."
DIBBER: Where we come from, a woman can have as many as six [husbands]
PERI: Oh, it's very similar on my planet, except we usually have them one at a time.
PERI. S A VA GE
I'll only be able to do a 2/4 2/4 today
that's a. Very tiny flame for a sacrifice.
oh nvm
I thought she was going to burn him in the little torch in front of her.
another thing to add to my Why I Love Sixie list is how fn arrogant xe is sometimes and how much everyone hates xem for it and how much xe doesn't care.
i fn love the assistants pulling every single thing from xyr pockets
ASHJDSHFNLDKMS ONE OF THE THINGS IS A TEDDY BEAR HC THEY WERE GOING TO GIVE IT TO PERI
JELLY BABIES IN XYR POCKER AOHILJKM
pffft calling him the boatyard
pffft calling him the graveyard
pls say sixie keeps making dad jokes.
Oh i saw this post somewhere that went "I'm less about 6/Peri and more about 6 telling Peri dad jokes" which!!!!! Yes!!!! (Though at the time I was like "ppl ship 6 and Peri??? Ew???")
I just realized the Valeyards outfit is deff supposed to contrasst Six's. Like sixie's is all COLORCOLORCOLOR and the Valeyard's is B L A C K
DOCTOR: Well, come on. Aren't you supposed to be programmed to be user friendly or something? Times like this one need three hands you know. We bipeds are a very inefficient design.
i feel like this deserves a dr nyarlathotep joke but I can't think of one
Also pfffffft xem callin the guys humbug and handbag really reminds me of twelve in The Girl Who Died.
You noticed yet how both my favorite classic doctors remind me of twelve?
Well that's one way to do it dude
sixie sPRINTS down that hallway
okay so. See you whenever i can finish this.
