3 | A [[strike:mission log]] ''Series/DoctorWho'' archive with a Twitter twist. |
4 | |
5 | In January 2010, recent fandom inductee Tropers/{{Hannahchan}} (real name Hannah J. Rothman) was inspired by the Twitter commentary posted by a friend during "The End of Time, Part 2" and wound up adopting the practice in her impending epic venture into the vast world of Classic Who. The rest is history. |
6 | |
7 | Begun on her personal Website/LiveJournal and Twitter accounts in late January 2010 and earning their own a few months later in April, Hannah formats the Classic Who Twitter Blog as a raw account of her grand adventure through the history of her beloved fandom. She limits her comments to Twitter's 140 characters-per-tweet and does no further HTML editing once she transfers the Tweets to the main Blog so as to preserve the original fangasmia. |
8 | |
9 | The Blog can be found [[http://classicwhoblog.livejournal.com/ here.]] |
10 | The Twitter Live Feed can be found [[https://twitter.com/WhoBlogLiveFeed here.]] |
11 | |
12 | The blog is currently being collected into print and ebook collections with new exclusive content in the form of [[http://raggedymoonbooks.com/non-fiction Twitter Who]]. |
13 | |
14 | This is an ongoing project with fairly regular updates. |
15 | ---- |
16 | !!Related Tropes |
17 | * AlwaysMale: Hannah usually addresses her followers (and the show's creators) as "Guys". |
18 | * BerserkButton: Don't let her see companions in heels... |
19 | * BigNo: Used with surprising rarity, though it does happen in the commentaries for "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS16E2ThePiratePlanet The Pirate Planet]]" and "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS14E5TheRobotsOfDeath The Robots of Death]]" when [[spoiler: Mr. Fibuli and D84, respectively, die]]. |
20 | %%* BigWhat: |
21 | * CharacterCatchphrase: |
22 | ** "Guys. This show." |
23 | ** "Why do I have a funny feeling that..." |
24 | ** "CALLED IT." |
25 | ** "*checks Website/{{Wikipedia}}*" |
26 | ** "And then there was a s'plosion!" |
27 | * ClusterFBomb: Happened a lot in earlier commentaries, but less so after Hannah decided to opt for a less foulmouthed mode of expressing herself in times of crazy things happening. Nowadays, CurseCutShort and PrecisionFStrike act as substitutes. |
28 | * CurseCutShort: "WHAT THE FU" is used occasionally. |
29 | * DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: If ''anything'' seems to have rape-related subtext, most notably Count Grendel's treatment of Romana in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS16E4TheAndroidsOfTara The Androids of Tara]]", it ''will'' be pointed out. |
30 | * FanDisservice: From the "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS7E1SpearheadFromSpace Spearhead From Space]]" commentary: |
31 | -->"Woah. Wait. Three in shower. What. No. We do not need to see this." |
32 | * FlatWhat: In the case of some serials, this is the commentary's lifeblood. You would probably be hard-pressed to find one that ''doesn't'' use this ''repeatedly.'' |
33 | * FreudianSlip: Seaman-Master! |
34 | %%* GenreSavvy: See several of the catchphrases above. |
35 | * HappyFunBall: |
36 | ** The FanNickname for the sphere in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS17E6Shada Shada]]". |
37 | ** And the surveillance spheres in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS19E2FourToDoomsday Four to Doomsday]]". |
38 | * IncrediblyLamePun: Happens from time to time. She noted actively trying to think of one for Creator/JonPertwee's tattoo in the commentary for "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS7E2DoctorWhoAndTheSilurians The Silurians]]". |
39 | %%* LampshadeHanging: Naturally. |
40 | * LateArrivalSpoiler: |
41 | ** In ''spades.'' |
42 | ** Also, nearly everything about "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS19E3Kinda Kinda]]". |
43 | * NostalgiaFilter: There are some serials that Hannah remembers more favorably after some time has passed. |
44 | * PhraseCatcher: Most explosions are noted with [[StuffBlowingUp "And then there was a s'plosion!"]] Recent commentaries have started incorporating variants related to the [[ImpressivePyrotechnics size of the explosion]] or [[MadeOfExplodium the exploding thing in question.]] |
45 | * PrecisionFStrike: Used to replace the ClusterFBomb, usually in the context of noting a character "freaking the fuck out", but also as a bizarre form of {{Squee}} when she ''finally'' made it to her [[Recap/DoctorWhoS1E2TheDaleks first Dalek serial]]: |
46 | -->''FUCK YEAH DALEKS. WE HAVE DALEKS UP IN THIS MOTHERFUCKER. DALEKS. DA. LEKS. DAAAAAAAAAAAALEEEEEEEEEEEEEKS.'' |
47 | * PunctuatedForEmphasis: |
48 | ** "FOUR. IS. HANGING. OUT OF A WINDOW." |
49 | ** "YOU. FUCKING. LIAR." |
50 | ** "Most. Convenient. Thunderstorm. Ever." |
51 | * RuleOfThree: The "COME ON, FOUR! DON'T LET..." lines near the end of the "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS18E7Logopolis Logopolis]]" commentary. The third turns into "COME ON, FIVE! DON'T LET..." |
52 | * RunningGag: |
53 | ** Hannah was keeping a scorecard for the Doctor, UNIT, and the Silurians during the first two viewing sessions of "The Silurians". It was dropped accidentally because the weekend-long wait for the second disk to arrive caused her to forget about it. |
54 | ** The Counter of Rassilon in "[[Recap/DoctorWho20thASTheFiveDoctors The Five Doctors]]" commentary (tallying every time someone says "the _______ of Rassilon." [[spoiler: 16, to be precise]]). |
55 | * ScreamingWoman: In "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS16E5ThePowerOfKroll The Power of Kroll]]" commentary, Hannah states that she will only be okay with companion-screaming in the event that they are ''actually in immediate and potentially fatal danger.'' |
56 | * ShoutOut: Usually to New Who, but also some to our own lovely TV Tropes. |
57 | * {{Squee}}: Hannah permits herself a good deal of "completely shameless fangirling" during all of the running-through-Paris scenes in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS17E2CityOfDeath City of Death]]". |
58 | * TakeThat: Some earlier commentaries attack accusations made by Mightyotaking in his "''Doctor Who'': Old vs. New" video. |
59 | * JustForFun/XMeetsY: In-universe, Hannah speculates that "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E10Midnight Midnight]]" was derived from a mixture of "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS1E3TheEdgeOfDestruction The Edge of Destruction]]" (people trapped together in a confined space where an unidentified entity is possessing passengers) and "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS18E1TheLeisureHive The Leisure Hive]]" (set in an isolated resort on a beautiful but dead planet). |
60 | * WhatTheHellHero: The commentary for "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS21E7TheTwinDilemma The Twin Dilemma]]". Oh, ''boy''. |
