The Doctor Looking over the Lethbridge Stewarts

The Doctor keeping his promise

[@eblackwell]

the brigadier had one of the best reactions to the inside of the Tardis: angry because he thought the Doctor had used UNIT funds to build it. ROTFL!

Damn. I totally forgot that Kate Stewart debuted in Power of Three, but what I love in hindsight now is that the MINUTE the Doctor sees her, he salutes her. Then later on, when Kate mentions to 12 that the Brigadier's ambition was to have the Doctor salute him at least once. Considering he met Kate after he first hears the Brigadier's passing, I like to think he figured out the Brig's ambition, and sort of tried to make amends by saluting his daughter when he sees her. Until, of course, he gets that one last reunion a lifetime later.

And when the devastated 7 thought the Brigadier was dead: "You were supposed to die in bed! I could have handled it!"

All of them." Of course, the new Doctor who fans wouldn't like seeing those episodes because the doctor shows how much he respects archaeologists. He even teaches Ace about the importance of them 😁

I managed to have quite a chat with him about various things & was very impressed with him. I also met Sylvester McCoy, Sophie Aldred, Wendy Padbury (an absolute pleasure & very funny), Peter Davidson, Colin Baker (who i worked with in the video, one of "The Stranger" series), Deborah Watling, Tom Baker & others.

@@Blazieth The Brigadier never "sought after" anyone's salute, including The Doctor's. That's revisionist writing to try and create a lazy pseudo-emotional scene as fanbait for the Classic crowd.

[@Blazieth]

Sometimes, the Doctor crossing timestreams with his past selves doesn't go the way he remembered it going back when he was in the younger self's shoes. Time is always being written - sometimes even when you had thought a particular chapter had already been written. But when such events are in conflict, it's usually only the oldest version involved that gets to retain the memories of the newly changed timeline; the younger versions remember what "originally" happened in a given event, and only the oldest will know how things changed. 12, upon encountering 1, explicitly states to himself that he doesn't remember trying not to Regenerate back then; something has already changed right from the start.

[@davidandrews2972]

It's more or less established that after Timelords cross their own timestream the memory of the younger incarnation fades to an extremely vague recollection at best, at least until they live it from the later perspective.

Back when Doctor Who was great before Chris Chibnall decided to ruin the whole show now Doctor Who sucks. The only hope the show has now is Russell t Davis can't wait to see what he does with the show. He'll definitely save it and make it fantastic again.

@@johnnybanks5321 and never will. Believe it or not, each showrunner puts in their own style. Nothing is ruined. Only different. Chibnall didn't ruin it. Nobody had. Or everyone since the first showrunner who took over for Verity Lambert had. And they hadn't.

No don't get your Hope's up Doctor Who is done it was great for nearly fifty years most great shows never lasted even half of that.

@@Cyber_Smoke I am not putting my hopes up but Russel T Davies was the one that brought doctor who back

Yes it was a real shame when they decided to write in a totally different way for Jodie and the show. By the end of the first season they started to reverse it but even with that Dalek introduction they wrote it in a way insulting to fans and memories of the show. As the show progressed and died due to the poor writing, they tried to change but it was too late. Chris Chinbnall decided HE knew better than ALL the prior writers and directors and editors of the show, and he drove it into the ground. And the shame is Jodie is a good actor (or actress depending on how you lean). But I think she was picked as she would buy into the bad writing so she willingly participated in slicing the shows neck.
