I went to the store today. Bought fruit-grapes! apples! strawberries! and some other stuff.
Didn't do anything else today, really. Not in a real lot of pain, not real tired. Today was sort of dull, actually.
That's about it for me. Thinking of working (GASP) on Prince Within. I know it's been about 6 months since I touched it but I should at least put in some effort.
Few Who questions. More thinking. I think I'll enter a few each day if I have them and then put them all together on Friday or Saturday's post.
1. The Stolen Planet: Gallifrey or Earth? Obvious choice would be Earth, but Kris and I seem to have wandered off the obvious track. Gallifrey, at least the version that the Doctor knew, was destroyed. Kapoofka. There's not much here that we know; it's a painful subject for the Doctor seeing as he's the one who's responsible for it burning. The Daleks had taken the Cruciform; the Time Lords were losing the battle. The only solution was to have the Doctor roast Gallifrey, committing what appeared to be mass genocide of both Daleks and Time Lords. Nothing remained except the Doctor.
We don't know what happened to the Eighth Doctor-we only know that Nine appears in London in "Rose" but we don't know what happened to the previous guy. Nine does look in a mirror at one point and grump about his ears as if he hasn't seen them before, but we have no clue how long the Doctor has been in that particular body.
People have assumed that Eight was the one who went into the battle between the Daleks and the Time Lords. He must have had to be close to push the button, so it's fair to assume he got hurt pretty badly trying to get out of there (or maybe he wasn't trying and the TARDIS yanked him out.) I can see the Doctor wanting to go down with Gallifrey, especially since Eight was such a drama queen; he must have barely escaped the destruction alive. He probably is still marveling (sometimes) that he is alive, probably still wondering why he is. Besides, who wants to survive when you're the one who blew everyone else up? Who wants to live with being the killer of his own kind?
Or something at the time might have saved him, knowing he still had so much to do...Rose? Donna? Medusa Cascade? Shadow Proclamation?
Eight must have been wounded enough, along with his TARDIS, to regenerate into Nine and the current TARDIS configuration (I assume that since Eight was mortally wounded the TARDIS was damaged a bit in the fight as well. Would explain the change of the "desktop theme.") Still no idea how much time passed after that regeneration but it must not have been long for him. Or he just hadn't been able to look at himself in a mirror due to the terrible guilt in his hearts.
2. Who dies: Donna or Rose? Or is it both of them? In my mind, Rose is literally lying beneath the ax, but Donna's odds aren't looking too pretty either. It'd be just like Davies to not kill one companion, but two.
3: Bad Wolf: Rose is Bad Wolf. We know this. She threw out a message to the Doctor at the end of episode 11 telling him the end of the universe was coming...hence the stars are still going out and bad stuff is going down.
4. Shadow Proclamation: The Doctor's invoked this more than once to try and get alien species to behave themselves, starting with the first episode and I really don't remember when he last referred to it, but it was definitely this year (Partners in Crime?) We're going to see the Shadow Proclamation, whether it be a bunch of bureaucrats or a piece of paper.
Ah, I'm just speculating again. Doesn't mean anything, really. :)
Ta,
Bec
