Gerald Norman "Jerry" Springer (February 13, 1944 – April 27, 2023)
was an American broadcaster, journalist, actor, producer, lawyer, and
politician. Born in London during World War II to German Jewish refugees
escaping the Holocaust, Springer was raised in Queens, New York City. He
attended Northwestern University School of Law, qualified as a lawyer, and
first became actively involved in politics working for the campaign of Robert
Kennedy in 1968.</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgazieN55ihDz6iAQ1c7G6PIeKpOiTFaTPuJYWCGPH6t0oi5OWlvukszgleUlm6qGcrfTTE5HWESi2VK-36x1X2QgtWkulwQN1c7mLczhwRkkHawmPUMeNNqNuBUdX3tchG41RB4C-I8nnFTmWKo6j53bCS2_iNZNs-jNWDYIIbzz42yjQ2LXgsVA/s674/jspringer-nightman06.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="674" height="296" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgazieN55ihDz6iAQ1c7G6PIeKpOiTFaTPuJYWCGPH6t0oi5OWlvukszgleUlm6qGcrfTTE5HWESi2VK-36x1X2QgtWkulwQN1c7mLczhwRkkHawmPUMeNNqNuBUdX3tchG41RB4C-I8nnFTmWKo6j53bCS2_iNZNs-jNWDYIIbzz42yjQ2LXgsVA/w400-h296/jspringer-nightman06.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><i style="font-weight: bold;">A Cincinnati City Council member, Springer served as the 56th Mayor of Cincinnati
from 1977 to 1978. He then worked as a local news anchor in Cincinnati where he
won ten Regional Emmy Awards for commentary. Springer was best known for
hosting the sometimes controversial tabloid talk show Jerry Springer from 1991
to 2018. He was also the host of ‘America's Got Talent’ from 2007 to 2008, and
of the courtroom show ‘Judge Jerry’ from 2019 to 2022. Off television, he also
hosted The Jerry Springer Podcast from 2015 to 2022. He was noted as a pioneer
in the emergence of "trash TV"; his eponymous show was a
"commercial smash and certifiable cultural phenomenon" in the 1990s.</i></div></div></i><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWh1Q-gMhTVoLIfDt7nNmdtQbPyFUefwWWitlrKtBIVqasarI_B-noBTYEAJBg4oKBKSC7CsHCOG1GsuQ2dlefkE2pxxJXM42SZtYxSyj_O2Z8jChtKb6hzHt41IXh9Pqk4lA0NMALLidwsQvwZ4v9PmPc3wW4WLZ-9dPsSGbx5GR_mvmaqfVSIg/s757/jspringer-nightman_header.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="757" height="264" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWh1Q-gMhTVoLIfDt7nNmdtQbPyFUefwWWitlrKtBIVqasarI_B-noBTYEAJBg4oKBKSC7CsHCOG1GsuQ2dlefkE2pxxJXM42SZtYxSyj_O2Z8jChtKb6hzHt41IXh9Pqk4lA0NMALLidwsQvwZ4v9PmPc3wW4WLZ-9dPsSGbx5GR_mvmaqfVSIg/w400-h264/jspringer-nightman_header.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><b><i>Springer was hired as a political reporter and commentator on Cincinnati's NBC

homosexuality, trans-sexuality, prostitution, transvestism, hate group
membership, or other controversial situations. These confrontations were often
promoted by scripted shouting or violence on stage. The show received
substantial ratings and much attention. By 1998, it was beating 'The Oprah

Springer Show</span></b> (1991–2018)</div></div><br /><b>O’Bservation – </b>As this talk show serves as the basis for so many of the
plotlines in other series in which Springer guest-starred, it is also being
inducted this month as a tribute to yet another show which exists in Earth
Prime and Earth Prime-Time. (And The
Tooniverse as well!)<br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br />‘Married… with Children’ was way
ahead of what would eventually become a major TV trend of the ’90s. Jerry
Springer made his scripted TV debut playing a talk show host with the same name
but a totally different game. The Jerry Springer of ‘Married… with Children’
was also known as the Masculine Feminist, and Al Bundy’s men’s right’s group NO
MA’AM had a bone to pick with him on live TV.<br /></span><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-sutRBoSXz8RDnMZNPppZkQYLKBAiuyoHwv6uQG3sh5qr1qh84_vrO9mWaQEnUTPizcwRard_OYQaLmYDD_uEfU_W9Tn4s5InULTDMPSmN5ynPeYBsfYqcFVsLruknFUrvpWesvY65INoXq-0IKpMXl2jn5aUki42n9EP7gmtOxBdwjyf6ORQMQ/s794/jspringer-mwc.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="794" height="253" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-sutRBoSXz8RDnMZNPppZkQYLKBAiuyoHwv6uQG3sh5qr1qh84_vrO9mWaQEnUTPizcwRard_OYQaLmYDD_uEfU_W9Tn4s5InULTDMPSmN5ynPeYBsfYqcFVsLruknFUrvpWesvY65INoXq-0IKpMXl2jn5aUki42n9EP7gmtOxBdwjyf6ORQMQ/w400-h253/jspringer-mwc.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial; font-size: large;">MARRIED...

and their bowling night, thanks to both Jerry Springer and Marcy D'Arcy, they
form a secret organization called No MA'AM and hold Springer hostage in his own
show in an audience filled with men donning the No MA'AM shirts. They intend to
perform television's first sexorcism, which includes them forcing him in watching
hours of pro-wrestling. They'll also force him to wear a stinky, yellow
undershirt and a pair of boxers with the words "It's All Me" until
the women who took over their Giggly Room and their bowling night comply to
their demands.<br /><br /><b>Jerry Springer: </b>[on TV]<br />Okay, let's take some phone calls now.<br /><b>Al Bundy:</b><br />Well, believe you me, this outrage shall not go unavenged.<br /><b>Marcy D'Arcy:</b><br />Now, Al, don't you think women deserve...<br /><b>Al Bundy:</b><br />No!<br /><b>Peggy Bundy:</b><br />Just don't embarrass us, honey.<br /><b>Jerry Springer:</b><br />Is the caller there?<br /><b>Al Bundy:</b> [on the phone with Jerry Springer]<br />Al Bundy here!<br /><b>Peggy Bundy, Kelly Bundy, Bud Bundy:</b><br />Too late.<br /><b>Al Bundy:</b><br />Now listen here, Jerry.

so much going on in it that the Jerry Springer cameo is totally overshadowed.

interviews the mother of a werewolf baby. Jerry is part of the most normal part

beaten Nick Sax.<br /><br /><b>Jerry Springer:</b><br />Well, we're gonna find out who hit what and from what end, but first, here's
another winner at life who claims the kid ain't his. Give it up for Nick Sax.<br /><b>Nick Sax:</b><br />I got no idea why I'm even here.<br /><b>Jerry Springer:</b><br />Well, you're not really here. This is a metaphor. You've experienced a
near-death bodily trauma.<br /><b>Nick Sax:</b><br />Yeah.<br /><b>Jerry Springer:</b><br />After hearing the best news any guy can ever hear. Let's give a nice hand to
the new papa.<br /><b>Nick Sax:</b><br />Sorry to disappoint. I ain't nobody's daddy.<br /><b>Jerry Springer:</b><br />How can you be so sure? You shooting blanks?
Which is pretty funny, considering your line of work.<br /><b>Nick Sax:</b><br />Now, look, any alleged incidents of erectile dysfunction, that I am in no way
admitting to, would be a fairly recent development from me, and totally beside
the point. I'm telling you I don't belong here. The only thing I am a father to
is a baseball-sized colonic impasse that's getting worse every minute of this
conversation.<br /><br />Other shows, while not with truly fictional plotlines in which Springer appeared as himself include:<br /><br /><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-weight: bold;">DANCING WITH THE STARS</span><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

certifies that he does exist on Earth Prime-Time:<br /><span style="background-color: white;"><br /><span style="color: #222222;"><b><i>In the ‘Farscape’ episode
"Family Ties," John Crichton describes the Moya crew as a "Jerry
Springer kind of family."</i></b><br /></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br />Springer is one of those individuals in the League of Themselves who must be
mentioned in dialogue in plenty of other TV shows.</span><span style="color: #222222;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">And there will probably be lots of archival
footage from his talk show which could be playing in the background, even now
after he’s no longer with us. (This will especially be true when a flashback
wants to establish itself as being set in the 1990s.</span><span style="color: #222222;"> </span><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="background-color: white;">What better video representation for that

still alive. One never knows, do one?<br /><br />But better late than never, I guess.

And he was a fixture on the small screen as a talking head on shows geared to sports topics (not that those are qualifiers for induction into the Television Crossover Hall of Fame.)<br /><br />Even though he passed away last year in May, I decided he shouldn’t be tossed into the Hall as merely a memorial induction. Instead, his ceremony deserves to be the February showcase in honor of Black History Month, especially since he played a big role in that….<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9xPQFBS96HOGUm_FAbkhMcK1S_UhzFCq4n2sykr0bGU0kX-6bjuUUSJZa8YTKeBnTrpEEp7MbVNY5kqrzu2SvHOtN6wQWWHD0vG009tmekHwbih6I1a4U5LqS0e0a1E1Eux6aDxvmo0kgl9dLuldYVugKH-Ol2EU6N_TeASSbfFqH0iA2Rkw/s796/jimbrown_header.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="796" height="251" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9xPQFBS96HOGUm_FAbkhMcK1S_UhzFCq4n2sykr0bGU0kX-6bjuUUSJZa8YTKeBnTrpEEp7MbVNY5kqrzu2SvHOtN6wQWWHD0vG009tmekHwbih6I1a4U5LqS0e0a1E1Eux6aDxvmo0kgl9dLuldYVugKH-Ol2EU6N_TeASSbfFqH0iA2Rkw/w400-h251/jimbrown_header.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><span style="color: #800180;">JIM BROWN</span></u></b></div><br />From Wikipedia:<br /><i><span style="font-weight: bold;">James Nathaniel Brown (February 17, 1936 – May 18, 2023) was an American football fullback, civil rights activist, and actor. He played for the Cleveland Browns of the National Football League (NFL) from 1957 through 1965. Considered to be one of the greatest running backs of all time, as well as one of the greatest players in NFL history, Brown was a Pro Bowl invitee every season he was in the league, was recognized as the AP NFL Most Valuable Player three times, and won an NFL championship with the Browns in 1964. He led the league in rushing yards in eight out of his nine seasons, and by the time he retired, he held most major rushing records. In 2002, he was named by The Sporting News as the greatest professional football player ever.</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiEcQ3v7R-K5e27z4T8w_3JqMgPk-fFOBC0CCIljULqHEKb-SB3ec6L_CpQgg0KpgJJtgXrVrJhpYxEwLLku3QIKVQe912pqDacS1d4f0fGOOZVkyFXaf9COEwlafEjrFaI8mjgMUtR8V2cXBDevlEM3nSZJdSQL7yNbtCJHRDj-6r7t4h84s/s647/jimbrown&david-frost.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="647" height="309" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiEcQ3v7R-K5e27z4T8w_3JqMgPk-fFOBC0CCIljULqHEKb-SB3ec6L_CpQgg0KpgJJtgXrVrJhpYxEwLLku3QIKVQe912pqDacS1d4f0fGOOZVkyFXaf9COEwlafEjrFaI8mjgMUtR8V2cXBDevlEM3nSZJdSQL7yNbtCJHRDj-6r7t4h84s/w400-h309/jimbrown&david-frost.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-weight: bold;">Brown earned unanimous All-America honors playing college football at Syracuse University, where he was an all-around player for the Syracuse Orangemen football team.

The brothers' trademark double act was performing folk songs (Tommy on acoustic guitar, Dick on double bass), which usually led to arguments between them. Tommy's signature line was "Mom always liked you best!" Tommy (the elder of the two) acted "slow" and Dick, the straight man, acted "superior".</span><br /><br /></span><div style="font-style: italic; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDc46Nw5JGicmGydbWW8BEpe_hDpQwIvgqBl1m3z9sAa2IbIVEHtCcXrVv0HBwSBa6cG7rmNC7E32jvFkX8Rtsb9oe3MoT2DT0p-lKtJJx0FKEhhsLfUsFPkrptDx84bSSpz1Lla2LC1ly1Osp-lFQFmXUiyXh1xJTuptPksOs7P9cNHQ8RNhZ2Q/s684/SMOTHERS-MR4D04.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="684" height="293" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDc46Nw5JGicmGydbWW8BEpe_hDpQwIvgqBl1m3z9sAa2IbIVEHtCcXrVv0HBwSBa6cG7rmNC7E32jvFkX8Rtsb9oe3MoT2DT0p-lKtJJx0FKEhhsLfUsFPkrptDx84bSSpz1Lla2LC1ly1Osp-lFQFmXUiyXh1xJTuptPksOs7P9cNHQ8RNhZ2Q/w400-h293/SMOTHERS-MR4D04.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">In the late 1950s and early 1960s, the brothers frequently appeared on television variety shows and issued several popular record albums of their stage performances. Their own television variety show, 'The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour', became one of the most controversial American TV programs of the Vietnam War era. Despite popular success, the brothers' penchant for material that was critical of the political mainstream and sympathetic to the emerging counterculture led to their firing by the CBS network in 1969.

As for Henry Cavill as Supes, DC Comics was first of the two mega corporations to embrace the multiverse, especially with the crossover event "Crisis on Multiple Earths". (I'm not going to get into who has handled the multiverse better, however.)<br /><br />One day I'll have to finally make a decision on which Toobworld Cumberbatch's Sherlock Holmes belongs. We know it can't be Earth Prime-Time - Jeremy Brett holds that honor! (I'm leaning towards Cumberbatch appearing as the spirit of Brett's Holmes, trapped in Limbo where he welcomes new Dr. Watsons who share common traits with his original companion by that name.)<br /></span><br /></div><p></p>Toby O'Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06999037844031101965noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060041.post-75350355384595451932024-01-01T23:30:00.001-05:002024-01-01T23:30:00.124-05:00STORIES IN THE END ("SO LONG, FARE WELL")<p> <br /></p><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghLMGMt9LgBff_fEsPIJvgkhiPJPL48yFxe5nUNeumG8xXWckdK8-aWI1HAowRjlRylr1TSyISxsqaZkb82PPeQz9YKUjCq6p-cAVlHfdBCigjEmabFYOwC0Ef7jdQ0BicW445Mi1NyW4YqphVMJum2yiARlGrHw6Cwkruassu4hEK6j4HGXzUqw/s1000/who-watch-ending.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghLMGMt9LgBff_fEsPIJvgkhiPJPL48yFxe5nUNeumG8xXWckdK8-aWI1HAowRjlRylr1TSyISxsqaZkb82PPeQz9YKUjCq6p-cAVlHfdBCigjEmabFYOwC0Ef7jdQ0BicW445Mi1NyW4YqphVMJum2yiARlGrHw6Cwkruassu4hEK6j4HGXzUqw/w640-h640/who-watch-ending.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">I hope you

That is, if I’m figuring aright, the being used by Tennant’s third version of the Doctor is the new model. (And hopefully Gatwa’s Doctor did not create a split personality by dividing up the soul of the TARDIS between the two blue boxes. Then again, I’m sure there’s a future scriptwriter for the show out there who is already preparing his pitch that each TARDIS has a mind of its own.)<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Both of them have the same screensaver running to project the holographic interior (at least for the control room.) And – looking at the show from an outsider’s point of view as a producer keeping an eye on the purse strings – they will probably stay the same in order to cut down costs. (Should Tennant ever return to the role of Fourteen, all they have to do is wheel that jukebox off the set and bob’s your uncle.)<br /><br />Within days of the reveal of the jukebox inside the TARDIS, fans were speculating as to what music should be heard emanating from its speakers. (Not that I had anything against some of the songs heard elsewhere in the series, but I hope they’re not all going to be in the same vein as the Britney Spears/Spice Girls/Boney M./Rogue Trader selections which we heard in the past.)<br /><br />To that end, I have a song to recommend for inclusion in the Doctor’s playlist….<br /><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheYxSDDtWtd4L9KtT2CZ8F4zgVQOP_mcsVkCnfJVmqZlXfeKZ1JyOkNMGIhevrUI69tQBkM7emiImRW_1C3RoFkyjKOJMqpKizWIzaeZkOPUlC6Qn9FhtaKh2WZORrVh14iOrWAGsyKEKYIybCjckxaamPx0CzSa4y5zN-tp1ZAuDk5EDSRiBxWg/s684/celentano.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="684" height="468" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheYxSDDtWtd4L9KtT2CZ8F4zgVQOP_mcsVkCnfJVmqZlXfeKZ1JyOkNMGIhevrUI69tQBkM7emiImRW_1C3RoFkyjKOJMqpKizWIzaeZkOPUlC6Qn9FhtaKh2WZORrVh14iOrWAGsyKEKYIybCjckxaamPx0CzSa4y5zN-tp1ZAuDk5EDSRiBxWg/w640-h468/celentano.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><u>"PRISENCOLINENSINAINCIUSOL"</u></span></b></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br />From Wikipedia:<br /><b><i>"Prisencolinensinainciusol" is a song composed by the Italian singer Adriano Celentano, and performed by Celentano and his wife Claudia Mori. It was released as a single in 1972. Both the name of the song and its lyrics are gibberish but are intended to sound like English in an American accent.<br /><br />By the 1960s, Celentano was already one of the most popular rock musicians in Italy, in large part due to his appearance at the Sanremo Music Festival in 1960 and the subsequent success of his song "24.000 baci". "Prisencolinensinainciusol" was released in 1972 and remained popular throughout the 1970s.<br /><br />"Prisencolinensinainciusol" has been described as varying music genres including Europop, house music, disco, hip hop and funk. Celentano, however, did not have these styles in mind when writing the song. He composed "Prisencolinensinainciusol" by creating a loop of four drumbeats and improvising lyrics over the top of the loop in his recording studio. The song is characterised by an E flat groove in the drum and bass guitar and riff in the horn section. Between the drum loop and the looped horns, not to mention the conversational improvisational "freestyle" flow of the lyrics and the chanting chorus, the song has many elements that predate hip hop, elements later found in hip hop in the mid 1980s and 1990s, respectively.<br /><br />The song is intended to sound to its Italian audience as if it is sung in English spoken with an American accent, however the lyrics are deliberately unintelligible gibberish with the exception of the words "all right". Andrew Khan, writing in The Guardian, later described the sound as reminiscent of Bob Dylan's output from the 1980s.<br /><br /></i></b><b><i>Celentano's intention with the song was not to create a humorous novelty song but to explore communication barriers. The intent was to demonstrate how English sounds to people who do not understand the language proficiently. "Ever since I started singing, I was very influenced by American music and everything Americans did. So at a certain point, because I like American slang—which, for a singer, is much easier to sing than Italian—I thought that I would write a song which would only have as its theme the inability to communicate. And to do this, I had to write a song where the lyrics didn't mean anything."<br /></i></b><br />"Prisencolinensinainciusol" wouldn’t just have to add flavor to a scene, an opportunity for the Master to let loose with his funky self. It could even be integrated into a plot-line for the show. How? What if some alien race visited Italy at some point in 1970 or ’71 and implanted that song – its tune and its lyrics – into the mind of Celentano, with the long-range goal of it triggering something dire for the world once the recorded song began to be heard throughout the world?<br /><br />In recent years, "Prisencolinensinainciusol" has had a resurgence, thanks to YouTube, streaming services, and being used in the soundtracks for episodes of ‘Fargo’ and ‘Ted Lasso’. So why not in an episode of another show ending with the letter “O”?<br /><br />One thing I like about this idea is that the backdrop for the story would be Italy. It gives me the opportunity to do a bit of research as to why aliens would have been in Italy circa 1970-71.<br /><br />From Wikipedia:<br /><b><i>The Reggio revolt occurred in Reggio Calabria, Italy, from July 1970 to February 1971. The cause of the protests was a government decision to make Catanzaro, not Reggio, regional capital of Calabria. The nomination of a regional capital was the result of a decentralization programme of the Italian government, under which 15 governmental regions were concretized and given their own administrative councils and a measure of local autonomy.<br /><br /></i></b><b><i>Protest in Reggio Calabria exploded in July 1970 when the much smaller town of Catanzaro (with a population of 82,000 against 160,000 in Reggio) was chosen as the regional capital of Calabria. The people of Reggio blamed their rivals' success to "the Red Barons" in Rome, a group of influential centre-left Calabrian politicians from Cosenza and Catanzaro.</i></b><br /><br />Doesn’t sound like something worthy of a sci-fi show, but the genre can adapt to any event in history.<br /><br />At any rate, here’s the song I want to be included on the TARDIS jukebox….<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/It4W6LaqsA4" width="320" youtube-src-id="It4W6LaqsA4"></iframe></span></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><p></p>Toby O'Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06999037844031101965noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060041.post-9673515311285866772024-01-01T22:00:00.074-05:002024-01-01T22:00:00.138-05:00GRAVITY?

(Remember, they were not in his presence when he came up with it.) In that new timeline, they, like everybody else in the world since Newton published his findings in 1687, had been using “mavity” instead of “gravity”.<br /><b><u><br />EXAMPLE 01</u></b></div>The Doctor:<br /><i>We could take a look.</i><br />Donna Noble:<br /><i>Or we could stay here, wait for the TARDIS to mend itself so I can get back home. My family is waiting for me!</i><br />The Doctor:<br /><i>Yeah, all right. Yeah!</i><br />Donna:<br /><i>Still, wherever we are, could be worse. We've got air; we've got light; we've got mavity.</i><br />Doctor:<br /><i>Yeah.</i><br /><br /><b><u>EXAMPLE 02</u></b><br />Donna:<br /><i>But... if we're in space... There's no stars. Where are the stars?</i><br />The Doctor:<br /><i>We could be inside a dust cloud or a... mavity well, or...</i>.<br /><br /><b><u>EXAMPLE 03</u></b><br />The Doctor:<br /><i>What is making that noise?</i><br />(An alien body comes into view)<br /><i>There.</i><br />(CLANG!)<br /><i>The captain of the ship. Circling round and round forever. Caught in the gravity field.</i><br />DONNA:<br /><i>Caught in the what?</i><br />THE DOCTOR:<br /><i>Mavity field.</i><br /><br />As seen/heard in that instance, the Doctor’s mind can straddle realities and remember the original timeline, as well as the various alternate pathways. Probably. (I’m not sure, but I think that has been established in the Past.)<br /><br />What disturbed me at first was that I assumed the word “gravity” existed long before 1666.<br /><br />I, as usual, was wrong.<br /><br />As he was English, I think Newton coined the term based on the Latin roots, not the Old French. So that would buttress the late 17th Century claim.<br /><br />Stanford University looked at the etymology and the cultural history of gravity. <a href="https://einstein.stanford.edu/STEP/information/data/gravityhist2.html#:~:text=Our%20word%20gravity%20and%20its,numerous%20cognates%20in%20related%20languages." target="_blank">Click here</a> if you’re interested in reading it.</span><p></p><div class="Ar Au Ao" id=":sx"><div aria-controls=":vt" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Message Body" aria-multiline="true" aria-owns=":vt" class="Am aiL Al editable LW-avf tS-tW tS-tY" g_editable="true" hidefocus="true" id=":st" role="textbox" spellcheck="false" style="direction: ltr; min-height: 250px;" tabindex="1"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Will RTD eventually address the situation to correct the word’s history? Time travel is O’Bviously well-established in the series’ corner of the TV Universe, so this could be handled in a small patch, a scene even shorter than the one which caused the timeline shift to “mavity”.<br /><br />But then again, as expansive as his vision has been in the past (and this episode “Wild Blue Yonder” fits that bill!), RTD can get sloppy with details that jar with real science. So he might just leave it as is and forget about it.<br /><br />(Remember how a mass shower in the topical application of all medicines blended together was able to cure everybody in that New Earth hospital?)<br /><br />But until then, wouldn't it be great if other TV shows which should be sharing the same TV Universe as 'Doctor Who' started using the word "mavity" instead of "gravity"?<br /><br />All the uses of "gravity" in past TV episodes would be locked into the old timeline before the "mavity" revision.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FMSmJCKaaC0" width="320" youtube-src-id="FMSmJCKaaC0"></iframe></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">We shall see what we shall view….<br /><br />UPDATE:<br />With both "The Giggle" and "The Church On Ruby Road," the word "mavity" was used. RTD has been known to sprinkle the episodes in a season with a phrase which pays off by the season finale. First it was "Bad Wolf" and a couple years later it was "Mister Saxon".<br /><br />So it could be that the use of "mavity" will pay off with a big climactic reveal to cap off Davies' return to the series....</div><br /></span></div></div>Toby O'Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06999037844031101965noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060041.post-566209361724365162024-01-01T21:30:00.015-05:002024-01-01T21:30:00.135-05:00WHO IS MRS.

Doubtful.</div><br />I have seen other suggestions out there which think it may be the next door neighbor to the Sunday family – Mrs. Flood. But they also cite her surname as a possible clue to her true identity. Most of them believe the name “Flood” is a clue to her being somehow connected to River Song.<br /><br />RTD is known for the clues he leaves for the viewers. “Bad Wolf”. “Mister Saxon”. And I believe the answer is Mrs. Flood. But I don’t think it has anything to do with River Song.<br /><br />I think most of those fans O’Bsessed with River Song as the key are more than likely the type of fans whose knowledge of the series extends only as far back as Eccleston’s relatively brief tenure as the Ninth Incarnation, if even that far! But RTD is also known for reaching deep into the show’s ancient history to dredge up characters and plot points – the Macra in “Gridlock” and Rassilon in “Last Of The Time Lords” are two examples. The popular opinion as I write this is that Jinkx Monsoon will be playing the Rani, not seen – at least from our timeline’s perspective – since 1993.<br /><br />So I think the same will hold true in this case, even if Mrs. Flood doesn’t prove to be Ruby’s birth mother, she still might turn out to be somebody from the Doctor’s past. Like a former Companion….<br /><br />The fans who are guessing River Song at least share my belief that her name is the key to her identity. “Flood.” What is a flood, but a field of water?<br /><br />I’m thinking it could be that she was once known as Victoria Waterfield before she left the TARDIS and was “adopted” by the Harris Family.<br /><br /></span><p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7o_17f6ESKzc15aNCj3Nv6Ai-01bdtEz30B7VJXczozxdgo1mCHFxzivhsUhZ85LORtTb5UcHGiBPCmdQ_QZrdkg9hPrbzG77nYAZtcJIdyp5XF5P5RKKrKYbo1kwGVqmELhCfYoCq2pQkMtXZwz81UDAUXzlC6KAySFsrnqZBUj1O_4zWMX8QQ/s1069/who-flood&victoria.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="1069" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7o_17f6ESKzc15aNCj3Nv6Ai-01bdtEz30B7VJXczozxdgo1mCHFxzivhsUhZ85LORtTb5UcHGiBPCmdQ_QZrdkg9hPrbzG77nYAZtcJIdyp5XF5P5RKKrKYbo1kwGVqmELhCfYoCq2pQkMtXZwz81UDAUXzlC6KAySFsrnqZBUj1O_4zWMX8QQ/w400-h150/who-flood&victoria.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Because the onscreen captions identified “The Church On Ruby Road” as taking place in the month leading up to Christmas 2023, it’s unlikely Victoria could be the mother of Ruby.

The special short “Time Crash” had some splainin to do as to how those past
Doctors would look different because of their close proximity to each
other. So none of the others might
question how different the Sixth Incarnation looked from when he was
alive. But what if he wasn’t the Sixth
Incarnation?<br />

I’ve always wanted to see Colin Baker return to the series, but since Time had
marched on, why not bring him back at a character he played in an earlier
adventure?<br />
<br />
Commander Maxil. Colin Baker could have
had a steady gig in a recurring capacity as a nemesis to the Curator. But with the assistance of some of his past
selves, the Curator could have foiled whatever Maxil had in mind for the
contents of the Under Gallery.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRWMGCWK7UjNwQOwD9mn1Joog0w5D5GmTz1zcy3gKDdUgNUpzltAJC1AnXC7ufOjK6nxmg5QaLY9wywSbblWUFxHpQZeMBXhdcjzfPyM0XU253eK6An7-K4Yxu-Aky41fZhGjukY9p2qaVVXm7KIFqgjTCWOtmOpqZ7CgzQ3ysg7nNMSFO5d9NPA/s500/curator-line-up.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="500" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRWMGCWK7UjNwQOwD9mn1Joog0w5D5GmTz1zcy3gKDdUgNUpzltAJC1AnXC7ufOjK6nxmg5QaLY9wywSbblWUFxHpQZeMBXhdcjzfPyM0XU253eK6An7-K4Yxu-Aky41fZhGjukY9p2qaVVXm7KIFqgjTCWOtmOpqZ7CgzQ3ysg7nNMSFO5d9NPA/w400-h240/curator-line-up.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>

font-size: large;"><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Just a fun little meme made by somebody else, turning ‘Doctor Who’ into a production of ‘The Wizard of Oz’…..</div><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Seen here are:<br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: arial;">A Cyberman, one of The Doctor’s greatest enemies</span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial;">Dr. Martha Jones, a Companion of the 10th Incarnation who went on to work for UNIT and later married Mickey Smith</span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial;">One of the scarecrows who were controlled by the “Family of Blood” in 1913</span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial;">Thomas Kinkaide Brannigan, a member of Catkind who was trapped in traffic for years with his human wife and litter of kitlings</span></li></ul></span><span style="font-family: arial;">So here’s a fanfic story idea….<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">What if there was a renegade Time Lord, one who might have been driven mad by staring into the Untempered Schism as a Gallifreyan Lad? Similar to the Celestial Toymaker, he might have taken sadistic delight in torturing his prisoners by forcing them to perform in deadly theatrical productions. My name for him would be “The Impresario”.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">This would be an “UnScene” adventure where the Impresario sought revenge against The Doctor by forcing him and Companions to enact his own adaptation of ‘The Wizard of Oz’. In order to survive, they have to play out the basic storyline, including singing their dialogue when music is cued up. (Musical episodes of dramatic TV series were in vogue for a time – among them ‘Psych’, ‘Fringe’ ‘Supernatural’, ‘Grey’s Anatomy’, ‘Buffy The Vampire Slayer’, and ‘One Life To Live’, plus several sitcoms – so why not ‘Doctor Who’*?<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">Now, two of those pictured here were foes of The Doctor, so they might try to disrupt the Impresario’s scheme in order to ensure the Doctor’s demise. This is where I now point out that just because Martha is involved, this doesn’t have to be an adventure for the Tenth Incarnation. This could have taken place during her UNIT tenure or later while working with her husband as a team. So The Doctor could be any future incarnation.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">And I think it would have to be a future incarnation because of the participation of the Cyberman. What if that was the Brigadier, brought back after death as a Cyberman by Missy? At least that would guarantee the participation of at least one Cyberman.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">As for the Scarecrow, let’s leave it as one of those programmed “soldiers” working for the Family of Blood. I don’t know why the Impresario would have chosen it – perhaps it was snatched out of its time period by mistake. Maybe the Impresario meant to grab Tim Latimer but the lad’s premonitions warned him to maneuver into proximity of that scarecrow so that it got scooped up instead.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">I like the idea that the Scarecrow would be an adversary out to sabotage the Impresario’s revenge. It could be how it was dispatched quickly by the Impresario, perhaps by having him ripped apart by winged monkeys.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">As for the Doctor… whoever the Incarnation is, I see him/her/they as the musical’s Wizard with the story focused on the friends striving to reach him in order to save him. (This fanfic story could be considered a “Doctor-Lite” episode, like “Blink” and “Turn Left”.)<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">I should point out here that there is one Companion who fits into the Oz template and should be included – K-9, playing the role of Toto. And the Impresario would take on the role of the Wicked Warlock, dressed in black and with green skin.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">There should be a flaw in the Impresario’s plot, one which the Companions could exploit. Maybe the Impresario never foresaw the involvement of Mickey Smith who was scooped up along with his wife. Maybe he was in disguise throughout the whole journey along the yellow brick road – first as a Munchkin, then as a Winged Monkey, and finally hiding in plain sight under the Impresario’s nose, as one of the Winkie Guards.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">When it’s all over and the Impresario defeated, Mickey’s response? “At least I wasn’t the tin dog!”<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">Once the Impresario is defeated (“I’m regenerating!”) and The Doctor is rescued, they all enter the TARDIS to go home to their respective time periods. That’s when The Doctor delivers the final line….<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">“There’s no place like home!”<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">So that’s another fanfic idea spurred by a photoshopped meme.<br /><br />* O'Bservation - Technically, "The Church On Ruby Road" was a musical episode....<br /></span></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;

font-size: large;"><br />The second best place for TV series of any era to cross over with each other is not to be found in their home medium of television; it would be in comic books/strips. (The best would be the metafictional universe of literature. That depends only on the written word and the imagination of the author, without regard to the fates of the original actors or for copyright concerns… if couched in veiled references if needed.)<br /><br />Comic books would require collaboration with an artist, but at least the end result would provide the look of the story for those too lazy to use their own imagination.<br /><br />The TARDIS Wiki noted several comic strip crossovers between ‘Doctor Who’ and one of my favorite detective series, ‘Burke’s Law’ back in the mid-60s. Of their three examples, “Who Killed Death?”/”Daleks Suffer Heavy Losses!” had the strongest case of a crossover. Here’s what they had to say about it:<br /><br /></span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcpR0n2r-tL7O4H-0ImlgCEtKab0f1W9JTorNREPXZlqnkZ4x07F-sdeBpjlDaOf1Wm8VBn4Y1GIXXniJFZhU5Q9c6T8vYOpjOgYZNbLLB7De1laRIs5boF8O7RgE5ivoJsLUNOtUPr7uVhZgOUZVxbEzBM1xVTewu9yMDXlUNn44vMGNSaVGZwA/s668/xover_burkes-law&doctor%20who.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="668" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcpR0n2r-tL7O4H-0ImlgCEtKab0f1W9JTorNREPXZlqnkZ4x07F-sdeBpjlDaOf1Wm8VBn4Y1GIXXniJFZhU5Q9c6T8vYOpjOgYZNbLLB7De1laRIs5boF8O7RgE5ivoJsLUNOtUPr7uVhZgOUZVxbEzBM1xVTewu9yMDXlUNn44vMGNSaVGZwA/w400-h300/xover_burkes-law&doctor%20who.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: left;"><b><i><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">"Burke's Law" is a television series created by Frank D. Gilroy, Ivan Goff, and Ernest Kinoy which originally aired on ABC from 20 September 1963 - 12 January 1966. It was later spun off into a series of comics published in TV Century 21 alongside "The Daleks".</span></i></b></div></div><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><i><br />The series follows the title character of Amos Burke, a member of the Los Angeles Homicide Bureau who works alongside some other members of the bureau.<br /><br />As the conceit of TV Century 21 was that all its series took place in a single universe, several Burke's Law stories from its pages crossed over freely with the Doctor Who universe. This included references to Burke's Law's characters and ongoing storylines in the prose "cover stories".<br /><br />"Who Killed Death?" was a "Burke's Law" comic printed in TV Century 21 in July 31 - August 07, 1965.<br /><br />The story crossed over with the "Doctor Who" universe by marking the reappearance of the titular character Irvin Death, who had debuted in the Dalek short story "Daleks Suffer Heavy Losses!".<br /><br /></i></b><b><i>The titular character is, fittingly, only referred to as "Death" in this story. He is given the full name "Irvin Death" in "Daleks Suffer Heavy Losses!".<br /></i></b><br />The other two stories which dealt with the supposed crossovers were:<br /><br />"Who Killed Elias Hoodreim?" [April 24, 1965]<br />&<br />"Who Killed Lord Nelson?" [July31 - August 07,1965]<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">If you want to read about those stories, <a href="https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Burke%27s_Law_(series)" target="_blank">click here</a>.<br /><br />Captain Burke dealt with a lot of odd colorful characters during the run of 'Burke's Law' and most of the incarnations of the Doctor would have provided plenty for the Homicide team to deal with. Think of Detective Tim Tilson trying to figure out Jamie McCrimmon's perspective on the world, while Sgt. Les Hart was hung up over him wearing a "skirt".<br /><br />With 'Columbo' sharing the same dimension with both of those shows, maybe Detective Duggan (from "City of Death") could have been sent to Los Angeles as the English contribution to the exchange program while Columbo was in London for the "Dagger of the Mind" case.<br /><br />What crossovers can you picture between 'Burke's Law' and 'Doctor Who'? Let me know!<br /><br /></span></span><br /><p></p>Toby O'Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06999037844031101965noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060041.post-31843541834451459792024-01-01T17:30:00.007-05:002024-01-01T21:52:24.435-05:00EARLY GATWA SHOTS<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6KP-f2ZICKzy7XDDRj70M1MXZe7TcSihT8J7Y6JQgnwCGR382m_c_AKSXW9-kvUJIsc655YUBGWz6LauvZgAIme8Jb_aztmQDxWtivNcVr4sZUuRYri2v5xnyDeOQ53mrRB8PGe31dPWs2PC_Zv4l7fWP2AModXsDSTTuvYX2Ld1Qo53l1GSzuQ/s766/WHO14&15a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="766" data-original-width="733" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6KP-f2ZICKzy7XDDRj70M1MXZe7TcSihT8J7Y6JQgnwCGR382m_c_AKSXW9-kvUJIsc655YUBGWz6LauvZgAIme8Jb_aztmQDxWtivNcVr4sZUuRYri2v5xnyDeOQ53mrRB8PGe31dPWs2PC_Zv4l7fWP2AModXsDSTTuvYX2Ld1Qo53l1GSzuQ/w383-h400/WHO14&15a.jpg" width="383" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /><div style="text-align: left;">From the moment Ncuti Gatwa was announced as the “next Doctor” (which eventually had to be revised to him being referred to as the 15th Doctor*), the pictures began flooding the Interwebz of Gatwa with the TARDIS. And once Millie Gibson was announced to play Ruby Sunday, she was added to the mix as well.</div><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Many of those pictures were professional, produced as either press releases from the BBC, or publicity shots for various media outlets. But there were also those images made by the fans, which I hope the suits at the Beeb accepted with grace because it all translated to good mojo for the upcoming transition.<br /><br />Now that we have marked that auspicious occasion, here’s a look at some of that Who15 fandom….<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Davies. “The Star Beast” featured a character called “The Meep” who tangled with the Fourteenth Incarnation of the Doctor and with Donna Noble and her daughter Rose.</div><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: arial;">But in the universe based on comic strips, the Meep – then known as “Beep the Meep” – appeared on that Earth early in 1980 and wound up as an antagonist to the Fourth Incarnation.<br /><br />This situation has cropped up in the past, with the TV series adapting stories from other sources – “Family of Blood” & “Human Nature” from the novel and e-book “Human Nature”, as well as “Blink,” which originated as “What I Did On My Christmas Holidays by Sally Sparrow,” a short story which, like the TV episode, was written by Steven Moffat.<br /><br />In both cases, the “televersions” cannot be reconciled with their source material. One Meep battled the Fourteenth Incarnation while the original fought the Fourth. The Incarnation who believed he was a teacher at a prep academy just before the first World War broke out was the Seventh Incarnation in Bookworld, but in Earth Prime-Time, John Smith was actually the Tenth Incarnation. That tenth version of the Doctor briefly met Sally Sparrow in Toobworld, but it was the Ninth Incarnation in that short story. Aside from that, Sally Sparrow was only about 12 years old in the short story and not some young woman played by a future Academy Award nominee!<br /><br />So all those versions of those stories are incompatible with each other and the truly fanatical Whovians should quit trying to crowbar any of the stories from other media into Earth Prime-Time. I think they’d be better off accepting and enjoying the differences within their respective fictional universes. P.O.M.G. as Bill Savitt used to promise. (Connecticut reference. Look it up.)<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">I will accede, however, that the possibility exists that anything found only in the novels, short stories, comic books, comic strips, and audio dramas could eventually find their way into the TV Universe (including Skitlandia and the Tooniverse.) BUT! They would have to be adapted to the strictures of whichever TV dimension in which they appeared.<br /><br /></span></span><br /><p></p>Toby O'Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06999037844031101965noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060041.post-35931734629261247802024-01-01T16:30:00.008-05:002024-01-01T21:21:52.450-05:00PANTS-TASTIC!<p> <br /><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRmahKMFnLdD10Rq8loV5ZSCI1AMZIZ4ocp_s2L_9oOO0F5LYiS-g-RZpDb8DAouTnOj85w36gwgOJoaCbc6rsnjpZWXLl4ZuO6Pw0F-KwMcZS_7hcJAbVvwZum6OkGMdfOpO5_xVa9EFwtmOqAQFZl5Qgl9PcvRP0xZ_hLsCaeX1_Ggt8RzyF9w/s582/gatwa-meme.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="582" data-original-width="540" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRmahKMFnLdD10Rq8loV5ZSCI1AMZIZ4ocp_s2L_9oOO0F5LYiS-g-RZpDb8DAouTnOj85w36gwgOJoaCbc6rsnjpZWXLl4ZuO6Pw0F-KwMcZS_7hcJAbVvwZum6OkGMdfOpO5_xVa9EFwtmOqAQFZl5Qgl9PcvRP0xZ_hLsCaeX1_Ggt8RzyF9w/w594-h640/gatwa-meme.jpg" width="594" /></a></div><br />Toby O'Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06999037844031101965noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060041.post-46017950285781809662024-01-01T16:00:00.001-05:002024-01-01T16:00:00.139-05:00ARCHEOLOGY 101<p> <br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwj9T-AeYB70soTcF15RREpGbOplfB6xSkbUnjgVvJtgPZixD65yJMZi7-CBp0r08elY26rqnwyMNdMBxEE1CPHfIh96PSTQrnhn1VQaFvscWTApCaiaaBTVp1WJDLmorKP2FYLYKYm-meQuNqMX-uB6eEc8f1r6ZQl2RQjoZRwS4S6InZ62804w/s640/meme-archaeologists.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="372" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwj9T-AeYB70soTcF15RREpGbOplfB6xSkbUnjgVvJtgPZixD65yJMZi7-CBp0r08elY26rqnwyMNdMBxEE1CPHfIh96PSTQrnhn1VQaFvscWTApCaiaaBTVp1WJDLmorKP2FYLYKYm-meQuNqMX-uB6eEc8f1r6ZQl2RQjoZRwS4S6InZ62804w/w372-h640/meme-archaeologists.jpg" width="372" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">But here’s what I would like to see….</span><br style="color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br />Some future incarnation of the Doctor gets involved with rescuing a child who enjoys the hobby of being a “detectorist” with his/her metal detector.

After that, his mummified yet living self took over a humanoid alien named Tremas and eventually exterminated by the Daleks. The Doctor was able to secure the Master’s ashes and was bringing them back to Gallifrey, but the spirit of the Master was still powerful, mostly fueled by hate and anger. It took over the body of a human in San Francisco before eventually being defeated by the Doctor yet again. (That time by the Eighth Incarnation.</div><br />So desperate to triumph was the Ruling Council of Gallifrey in the Time War with the Daleks, that they granted a new cycle of regenerations to the Master in order to secure his alliance. Instead, he fled to the farthest distance of Time and Space to hide. There he took the name Yana. He eventually remembered who he was, but was only able to revel in his villainy for about five minutes before he was forced to regenerate. That time as Prime Minister Harold Saxon back in the 21st Century.<br /><br />Although he finally did die, his followers resurrected him to once again attempt to take over the Earth. Eventually he became a she and “Missy” could have found something of a rehabilitation, but once again the “Saxon Master” resurfaced, which led to both their deaths.<br /><br />I like to think that when Sacha Dhawan arrived on the scene as the Master, he was one of the original incarnations who preceded Delgado. That would still leave ten incarnations we need to see. <br /><br />If the show wants to live up to the standard set by Steven Moffat in its depiction of Time as being a wibbly-wobbly ball instead of always being linear, we need to see past incarnations of the Master appear in the current timeline for the Doctor (now in his fifteenth incarnation.<br /><br />So I’m putting this out to you – who would you like to see playing those former incarnations of the Master?
