Just born scared clown.

The Two Doctors

They put Troughton on a bed for most of the story. They put him in a bed, lying down! I know that he was old at the time, but — let him run around a bit!

Imagine David Tennant coming back, and his put on a bed and turned into a Scottish cannibal (that would be funny, actually.) In fact, they would be turning him back. Into a Scottish man, not into a cannibal. Although he may have been a cannibal before and the process would return him to his original form.

Is David Tennant a cannibal?

So I am at 7/11 of the Destiny of the Doctor series, and these are my thoughts so far. This is an 11 part audio story series, where each story is about an individual Doctor and their adventure that combines together for the 11th and final story.

Each part primarily is on the Doctor and their companions, but at somewhere through the story they are contacted by the Eleventh Doctor who has them do a task for him that is vital for the future.

The First is Hunters of Earth and is when the First Doctor and Susan are living in the Foreman Junkyard before they met Ian and Barbara. The story involves a military Colonel trying to force the Doctor and Susan to fight in military battles for the government and turned the population against them with mind control.

Susan had a lot in this story, dealing with her classmates turning on her as an alien, but not a space alien rather an illegal immigrant. She is also having to deal with a friend who she began to trust potentially betraying her. The Doctor may have saved the day, but the heart of the story was definitely Susan.

The Second story is Shadow of Death, and it involves the Second Doctor, Jamie, and Zoe ending up on a research ship learning about a city where all the residents just vanished. The Doctor learns there is an entity killing people and that it was actually the citizens of the city, and they are only doing it by accident. The Doctor makes peace between them.

I actually loved the Doctor and Jamie’s discussion about the passage of time when traveling with the TARDIS. It started with the Doctor asking Jamie how old he is now and ends with Jamie realizing that due to Time dilations the Doctor had been on his own in this particular adventure for years. Jamie and Zoe were both amazing in this story, not willing to leave anyone behind and trying to save the Doctor.

The third is Vengeance of the Stones. The companion role is filled by the Brig, Benton, and Mike Yates. Mike wasn’t part of UNIT yet and was a Lieutenant. At the end he’s recruited by the Brig and promoted to Captain. They are dealing with an alien race using a stone that can control others to fight with UNIT. In the end the Doctor and Mike’s efforts stop the danger.

While Three solves the problems, this story focuses a lot on Mike Yates. He is brave and resolved and the Brig is so impressed with him that he invites Mike to join UNIT.

Fourth was Babblesphere. Four and Romana end up traveling to a place where everyone is connected to a computer with all their thoughts shared with everyone. It is mandatory to connect to the computer and eventually the machine is able to force the two time lords to connect as well. But they are able to shut down the computer instead and free the people.

Most of the story was told from Romana’s point of view. Her relationship with the people and even her sympathies with the computer, that even though he was killing off the less intelligent people of the settlement and was mad, it was lonely and was looking for companionship.

Fifth was Smoke and Mirrors. The Fifth Doctor, Teagan, Nyssa, and Adric follow a distress call that happened to be sent by Harry Houdini to The Doctor. However it turns out it was a trick, the Master has been working with Harry, convincing him that the Doctor is holding out on him and convinces Harry to try killing the Doctor while the Master captures the three companions. In the end they all get free, Harry changes sides again, and they keep the Master banished. I did like that the Doctor isn’t just letting Harry’s acts go either.

Adric, Tegan, and Nyssa were all particularly awesome in this story. Tegan puts all her priorities in rescuing Nyssa when she learns Nyssa is hypnotized, and her efforts to break Nyssa free don’t just break her out, but Nyssa is able to free everyone else. And Adric finds the focus of the Master, enabling them to weaken his reach into their dimension.

The sixth story is probably my least favorite of them all. Called Trouble in Paradise, it is about Six and Peri Brown meeting Christopher Columbus. This story is weird in a lot of ways. The first is that unlike the others, where the Eleventh Doctor contacts the Doctors during their adventures and ask them to make minor corrections (don’t destroy this item, save it and take it to this location. Protect this data, things like that), in this story the Doctor calls the Sixth at the very beginning of the story and asks him to grab an omniparadox, leading the sixth to where one is. Also the Doctor gets all excited over meeting Columbus, which Peri rightfully goes off on him about. And his experiences with the explorer tells him that Peri was right.

Peri of course is the heart of the story. As a matter of fact, all these stories have a focus of the companions being the heart of the story and while the Doctor does save the day, it would never be possible without the companions actions. Peri is the reason they discover where the paradox is, which is a mess in itself. Peri also makes the Doctor save a person who he wasn’t supposed to save.

I just started Shockwave so I’ll come back to that later. Overall it’s an interesting story, that we can see Eleven is up to something and needs assistance. Whatever it is he has come up with a plan that he needs things he encountered in his past adventures (except Six who he decides to send on a milk run) to do it.

I like the adventures with the companions and their stories, and I am curious on how all these stories culminate for the end.

Look at dis goofy guy :)

Ignore the words, just doodling on me work

So as I finish off the Second Doctor’s run, here are my thoughts on the Doctor and his companions.

Two is very different from one in many respects. He’s more youthful, energetic, and at times very playful. He doesn’t avoid trouble or try not to get involved in changing things, he just does. And a lot of it are because of the influences of his companions, both in the previous form and this one. He’s also a lot more….expressive? His face, hand movements, and vocal patterns are so much fun to watch and I can honestly see why people draw so many similarities between Two and Eleven.

However like One, Two does what he has to do, no long moral arguments or debates. The whimsical cosmic hobo who cares very much for those who need help, even if they don’t want it.

He initially inherits Polly and Ben from his previous form, and he spends the whole first adventure not explaining everything, letting them figure it out. Now I didn’t talk about Ben and Polly with One, but I wanted to talk about them now.

Polly is an interesting character. We met her when she was working as a secretary, and through her adventures with the Doctor we see her pick up a role as his assistant, helping him with the equipment and his projects. She is brave, daring, and I honestly don’t think she would have left so soon had it not been for Ben. She seemed to actually acclimate pretty well to being in the TARDIS and was an excellent assistant to The Doctor.

Ben meanwhile was a good character, but he very much had no desire to be traveling with The Doctor. He was a Navy Sailor, a military man who was always trying to get back to his ship. He was very much by the rules. In many respects he was similar to Ian, didn’t want to be there but very willing to do what he could since he was. He was also brave but could also be impulsive, leading him into trouble, and he looked after Polly and had such a great relationship with Jamie. But of course at the first opportunity to return home he took it.

Before Ben and Polly left we got a third companion, Jamie McCrimmon. The longest running companion in number of serials and the one who spent nearly the entire Second Doctor’s run with him. Jamie is well loved, and for many reasons.

Jamie isn’t the first companion from the past, but he’s definitely the first long time one. He is from 1746 and is a rebel at heart. Jamie is very brave and tough, easily taking on the physical requirements even while Ben was still around. He wasn’t as knowledgeable as the others due to being from the past, but Jamie was quick in understanding and cleaver on how to use what he had available.

Jamie was a mix between wanting to clear things with the Doctor being running off because he’s seen how strange and dangerous things are and also being the first to run into danger. He has a bit of a temper but also he’s very caring. Polly and Ben treated him as their little brother and Jamie seemed to take that stance up with the companions to follow.

Jamie was one of the most loyal of all the Doctor’s companions, but that loyalty had to be earned. He didn’t follow the Doctor around blindly, he challenged the Doctor when the Doctor did something he didn’t like and I honestly think that was something the Doctor really did need. In the end Jamie had to be forced to leave the Doctor.

Then we have Victoria Waterfield. I admit I was worried about Victoria because I heard she was someone who just stood and screamed when she was in trouble. But watching the series I noticed half the time she did it, she was doing it intentionally as a distraction. She was also young and she hadn’t wanted to travel with the Doctor. She had gone with him out of necessity. She was a girl from the 1800s on an alien planet with no family. Victoria also expressed that she could never go back to the 1800s anyway. Her journey changed her and she would never fit in there.

Her and Jamie had such a fun relationship to watch, and I am glad she got to settle down with a family in modern London and live her life. She was a good character and companion but the Doctor’s life wasn’t for her. Much like Dodo.

Lastly we have Zoe. Zoe was extremely cleaver and intelligent. A woman from around 2070, she relied heavily on facts, so much so that she could seem emotionless. She changes a lot when she meets the Doctor. So much that we actually get our first intentional stowaway. She wants to go with him and Jamie, and she gets her desire.

Zoe was a good balance to the Doctor. There were some things that she knew that he didn’t and balanced out his knowledge. She was also very capable of taking over when he wasn’t there, and she like Victoria and Polly didn’t stand for anyone dismissing her for being a woman. And like Jamie, she was forced to leave the Doctor and be returned home.

I loved William Hartnell’s Doctor, but I think I adored Patrick’s even more. The second Doctor made me so happy to watch, and I plan on rewatching a few of his serials again. Overall, the Second Doctor and the TARDIS crew was so much fun, and the serial introduced many things we associate with the Doctor today. Intervening because it’s the right thing, the sonic screwdriver, ‘John Smith’ and more. I now look forward to Three.
