"Spider stopper"
What Would Have Happened If The Other Doctors Stepped on the "Boom" Land Mine
One: The land mine is diffused by the power of parental love much sooner. Splice and Mundy join the TARDIS team after he decides that Splice will be his next fill-in granddaughter.
Two: Plays the recorder instead of singing. Jamie attacks the ambulance with his knife as soon as it attaches the lines to the Doctor, and it's only Zoe that stops him from getting killed. The detonation happens much sooner because the Doctor gets antsy and plays with the fiddly bits.
Three: Expertly controls his blood pressure to stop a premature detonation. Tries to keep his companion far away, but they discover the land mine anyway. Takes the land mine with him after it is diffused to use for spare parts in the UNIT lab.
Four: "Harry, I'm standing on a land mine." Doesn't bother with a counterbalance and just stands on one foot for the whole episode. Snacks on some jelly babies while waiting for the right moment.
Five: Has an in depth conversation with Nyssa about how he is regulating his biology on a molecular level. They use a cricket ball from the TARDIS as a counterbalance, meaning that he never gets shot or targeted by the ambulance. One of his companions still ends up getting shot, at which point he falls over, immediately self destructs, and blows a giant hole in the planet.
Six: Gets far too irritated for his blood pressure to stay low. Could really do with some of Evelyn's cocoa right about now. The land mine blows up because he cannot calm down enough to disguise his presence.
Seven: A much longer conversation on how the Doctor is a complex space-time event. The countdown finishes, but the land mine doesn't blow because he had disarmed it at the beginning of the episode. The entire time, he was just pretending the land mine was live in order to teach his teenage companion a life lesson.
Eight: Forgets he's standing on a land mine and blows up. Gets into a passionate conversation with his companion about the war industry complex. Soliloquizes about life and death. Almost sacrifices himself in an inferno of self-loathing, but his companion saves the day.
War: His associates go back in time and extract him before he steps on the land mine. This new version of him continues fighting the Daleks while the time echo standing on the land mine is used to blow a hole in the nearby Dalek command ship.
Nine: Has flashbacks to the War while standing on the land mine but somehow manages to stabilize his blood pressure thanks to the presence of Rose and Jack. Jack manages to diffuse the bomb while he is on it thanks to his experience with Villengard tech.
Ten: "I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry." Tries to convince his companion to evacuate as much of the population into the TARDIS as possible because they would be safe there. Almost lets himself blow up, but his companion forces him to find a way to survive.
Eleven: The mine blows up in about ten seconds because he can't stand still. The entire planet is blown to smithereens, but his friends are okay because he locked them in the TARDIS.
Twelve: Gets into mind games with Clara while she is trying to figure out what he is standing on. Clara tries to take his place, but he doesn't let her. Missy eventually shows up and disarms the land mine because she wants to be the one to kill him.
Thirteen: Only manages to stay still because the Fam calms her down. Is oddly stoic about the entire thing and disappears into the depths of the TARDIS for several days after it happens. She never brings it up again even though Yaz tries to get her to talk about it.
Fourteen: God damn it this guy is supposed to be retired. He's supposed to be having a break. He talks about how much he loves his companion and how so, so sorry he is that he can't fix this.
Fugitive: This is a normal Tuesday for her. Probably has some sort of anti-land mine device in one of her coat pockets.
important: the way Jamie’s kilt twirls
wake up friends new hyperfixation just dropped!!!
various classic who doodles I'd forgotten to upload!
if it's any consolation i recall the expanded universe does do this with jamie and handwaves it with 'the time lords have an imperfect understanding of the human mind' and jamie using a few tricks he subconsciously had from the doctor or something like that
i may be wrong since i haven't actually read it but that's what i recall hearing
never seen any of the first(original actor) & second doctor episodes, decided to begin with second seeing as i've always just made my way through classic who in the most chaotic manner possible by just buying the dvds at random from my local cex since my early teens & you know, seeing as it's so dated episodes are missing to this day, i thought i was in for bad effects, gentle & fun storytelling of a recorder playing doctor travelling through time & space with a companion who throws a rock at the antagonists.
how have i ended up with EMOTIONAL DAMAGE 😭there should be a warning on the second doctor finale. glad to see i was right for supporting dhawan!master when he burnt that planet to the ground. hope he spat on the time lord council's ashes <3
i know most are unfortunately no longer with us from the one-three era but if jamie & zoe's actors are still alive & if the writers do end up fixing what happened to donna then there is no reason why they can't also fix jamie & zoe.
"You look very nice in that dress Victoria" "thank you,, dont you think its a bit..." a bit shOrt? Oh i shouldnt worry about that, Look at jamie's!"
Two weirdos show up and they emote on your corpse
Well, why do they object to you doing all that? Well, it is a fact, Jamie, that I do tend to get involved with things.
As much as I love the Doctor’s pacifism (which he sort of sticks to at least most of the time except when he later shoves cyanide in a dude’s face but ya know... he has bad days I guess), I also love how Jamie straight up stabs a Sontaran in the leg. Like yeah, you’re one of the most fearsome warrior species in the universe? Well I’m Scottish and Imma stab you.
But yeah, I went back on another of my erratic sprees of Classic Who-watching tonight and I happened upon the Two Doctors. I’m starting to quite like Jamie as a companion. (Even though this is his last appearance as a companion in terms of episode order, it’s only the second full serial I’ve watched with him in it because my approach to watching Classic Who can be summed up as wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey.)
This serial also very much made me think of that 12th Doctor quote, “hardly anything is evil, but most things are hungry”. Obviously the Sontarans are more about battle-glory than hunger, but that Androgen chef, on the other hand...
“Sontaran might is invincible!”
The Two Doctors - season 22 - 1985
Its these two again as is the usual of course
The Enemy of the World - Victoria: Perhaps we’ve landed in a world of mad men! Doctor: They’re human beings, if that’s what you mean. Indulging their favourite past time of trying to destroy each other.
An unintelligent enemy is far less dangerous than an intelligent one, Jamie.
these are so much fun to make
