Dr. Who Wishes

[ithildin]

My wish list for the next season (3 or 29 depending on your POV):

1) Ramp back on the shippiness, for the love of god!

2) The Master! Please, oh pretty please! (And who should be cast? Thoughts?)

3) No pining! For Rose or for the Fjords

4) Meeting up with an old Companion, say like, Nyssa!

5) More of the inside of the TARDIS. And does that bell still toll when "doom" approaches?

Word. Big time - WORD.

2) The Master! Please, oh pretty please! (And who should be cast? Thoughts?)

Tom Baker wants to be asked. But ... that'd be kinda weird. I have no doubt he could be terribly wicked .... And I don't see why Tony Head couldn't be the Master. I'm still of the opinion that guy was the Master. He wasn't destroyed or affected by the goo, ASH said as much in the Confidential for "School Reunion". Tony Head For Master!

3) No pining! For Rose or for the Fjords

SEE: Answer to number 1.

4) Meeting up with an old Companion, say like, Nyssa!

Nyssa would be interesting, considering she and the Doctor have the whole no planet/no people bit in common now.

5) More of the inside of the TARDIS. And does that bell still toll when "doom" approaches?

With an episode titled "Doomsday", you'd think that sucker would've been tolling like there was no tomorrow. Then, they would've had to explain that and some might've been, "Well, that's pretty stupid."

As 'Doomsday' as it was supposed to be, it didn't get as intense as Castrovalva did for me -- which was when the bell went off if I remember correctly. Though it's been well over a decade now since I've seen classic Who.

Maybe it only tolls for the Doctor's peril? The bell was probably, "Rose? Ah, who cares. I'm not ringing for her."

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

ROTFL! I think the bell was pining for the Fjords...

As much as I've never been into any sort of Doctor shippiness, if I had to pick a Companion to pair him with, it would be Nyssa.

Yeah, Tom Baker would be kind of odd in that role.

I multi-ship like a whore. Certain incarnations and certain companions. Because I'm a whore. But if the series became ONLY about 'ships ... BLECH. Leave the 'shipping to the professionals - the fan ficcers.

You know who'd be even weirder? Peter Davison.

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

I'm just not much of a shipper in general.

I haven't seen PD in years. Wonder what he looks like now? Paul Darrow might be a possibility, but he hasn't aged all that well. But he has the voice for it, that's for sure.

I'm not a person who bases everything on 'ships. I definitely don't want to give off that vibe. I generally can't stand it when romance works it's way into a series that historically didn't center on it. This goes beyond DW. Outside of the actual series, I might find dynamics I like in different ways.

PD actually looks really good. He's in the Confidentials for the Ninth and Tenth Doctors. He's put on a little weight and his voice is a bit gravelly - I wonder if he didn't take up smoking or something - otherwise, he looks good.

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

No, you don't give off that vibe at all :)

Amen!
