Line #131 Tropers/NewtypeS3


1	Well, I'm [[{{Tropers/NewtypeS3}} NewtypeS3]]. How and why I got the name is one of those tales that takes ''way'' too long to describe and, sadly, a story one realizes that just plain isn't worth telling once it's been told. Suffice it to say, the ''Newtype'' comes from MobileSuitGundam, a favorite franchise of mine, and the rest is simply an OldShame combined with an old PenName.
2	I mostly lurk on the websites I go to, but I've also been known in some online Gundam communities for my strangely extensive knowledge on the subject. Go figure.
3
4	Regardless, I'm here because it's a wiki that's plain enjoyable.

8	As for what I enjoy in fiction...
9	* Numerous live-action shows, like...
10	** DoctorWho, as well as spinoffs TheSarahJaneAdventures and {{Torchwood}}. My preference of one over the other varies, really. And [[Main/BigFinishDoctorWho The Big Finish adventures of Doctor Who]]. Yes.
11	** {{Farscape}}
12	** [[{{Main/ptitlegvx5tm34k7kq}} The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]] ''(Currently, the radio series is at the top for me, with the books, movie and TV show following in quick succession)''
13	** Main/HowIMetYourMother
14	** MysteryScienceTheater3000... [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MysteryScienceIndex3000 some episodes more than others]], though.
15	** Main/RedDwarf
16	** {{StargateSG-1}} & StargateAtlantis... and ''maybe'' StargateUniverse, if it plays it's cards right. The [[TheArkOfTruth first]] and [[StargateContinuum second]] movies also get to count, though not [[{{Stargate}} that movie]].
17	** StarTrek in almost all forms... aside from StarTrekEnterprise, actually.
18	** Main/TwoAndAHalfMen
19	** {{Dune}}
20	** {{Untouchable}} ''(as it's obscure, I might have to make the page)''
21	* The entire Japanese 'Tokusatsu' genre, including...
22	** KamenRider (especially KamenRiderKabuto, KamenRiderDecade and KamenRiderDouble, which is currently top dog. Most shows are a close second or third... and KamenRiderDragonKnight gets a seriously honorable mention for being awesome. KamenRiderOOO is shaping up to be up there, too.)
23	** SuperSentai (particularly GougouSentaiBoukenger, with KaizokuSentaiGokaiger quickly joining it.)
24	** PowerRangers (particularly PowerRangersRPM)
25	** TomicaHeroRescueForce (...with TomicaHeroRescueFire slowly being added to these ranks).
26	* Many random animated shows, including...
27	** AvatarTheLastAirbender
28	** BlackLagoon
29	** BusoRenkin
30	** CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs
31	** GetterRobo
32	** {{Gundam}}
33	** {{Transformers}}, including the [[TransformersGeneration1 original incarnation]] and TransformersAnimated. And [[TransformersShatteredGlass Shattered Glass]]. Dear lord, Shattered Glass.
34	** TurtlesForever
35	* Video games, like...
36	** MassEffect
37	* Various manga and comics, including...
38	** {{Akumetsu}}
39	** GrantMorrison's run on AnimalMan
40	** AtomicRobo
41	** BloomCounty
42	** GunsmithCats
43	** TheLifeAndTimesOfScroogeMcDuck
44	** {{Nextwave}}
45	** {{Transmetropolitan}}
46	** WhateverHappenedToTheManOfTomorrow ''(the final Silver-Age Superman story)''
47	* And other bizarre things like...
48	** [[{{ptitlebrl75dwevzir}} Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along Blog]]
49	** DoubleK
50	** JandrewEdits
51	** RedVsBlue
52	** RubyQuest

56	And aside from minor edits here and there, my major contributions include...

58	[[{{Recap/Recap}} Recapping!]]
59	* [[Recap/DoctorWho The Doctor Who episode recap page]]. No, not the page itself, but there are episodes I've worked on or expanded. Credit must also go to [[{{Tropers/Nightsky}} Nightsky]], who has done many of these as well - resulting in many recap pages being a blend of our personal styles.

101	** [[ThePhantomPlanet 0903: The Phantom Planet]]
102	* [[Recap/{{Torchwood}} The Torchwood recap page]] ''(Yeah, no. Literally made the page. Shocked no one's made it yet.)''
103	** [[Recap/TorchwoodS2E7DeadManWalking 2.7: Dead Man Walking]]
104
105	[=WMGs=]!
106	* [[{{WMG/DoctorWho}} The Doctor Who Classic WMG page]] and [[{{WMG/DoctorWhoNewSeries}} the New Series variety]] ''(I made a few of 'em, including...)''
107	** There are no limits to a Time Lord's regenerations. The Time Lords of Gallifrey have merely been putting limits on them, and without them, there are no more limitations to the Doctor's regenerations.
108	** Change that WMG. The Doctor now has nigh-unlimited regenerations, as he is established as being the one who killed his own people.
109	** The Sixth Doctor was not 'totally tasteless' as many people claim.
110	** The Fifth Doctor is a rampant sociopath trying to work for the forces of good.
111	** Melanie, known as 'Mel,' was actually a companion of the ''Seventh'' Doctor first.
112	* [[{{WMG/TengenToppaGurrenLagann}} The Gurren Lagann WMG page]] ''(I got a long one...)''
113	** The entire series of Gurren-Lagann is one long love letter to the giant robot concept in general.
114	* [[WMG/DragonBall The Dragon Ball WMG page]]
115	** The reason Gohan can go Super Saiyan in GT is because he passed the 'Mystic' powerup down to Pan.
116	** Future Bulma didn't actually build a time machine - she built a machine made to travel through to ''alternate realities''!
117	* [[{{WMG/ptitlebrl75dwevzir}} Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along Blog]]
118	** Doctor Horrible/Billy actually became the [[BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold Music Meister]].
119
120	Miscellaneous!
121	* [[{{Characters/DoctorWho}} The Doctor Who characters page]]
122	** Not the page itself, but I added Davros, Omega, the Valyard, K9, Kamelion, Harry Sullivan, the Ice Warriors, Silurians/Sea Devils and the Sontarans ''entirely.'' Not to mention almost all of the non-companion & reoccurring characters.
123	** Also, on the subsequent [[{{Characters/Whoniverse}} expanded universe]] page, I added the concept of "alternate Doctors" to the page, as well as pretty much all of the examples.
124	* FridgeBrilliance
125	** This entry under TV...
126	--->DoctorWho is just full of FridgeBrilliance in many of their stories. A great example would be the Classic Who serial ''Ghost Light.'' Watching it for the first time, I could see that there was a lot going on that almost made sense and almost clicked... until I watched it a second time. Then it finally clicked. Really, [[spoiler: the entire serial is a commentary upon evolution in general, as well as a massive tribute to the era that brought up the theory - the Victorian Era. And if this wasn't enough, the entire story is disguised as a freaking ''alien invasion'' told with the tropes of a ''Victorian-era horror story''... and finally, we have a story that also has the companion Ace dealing with her past and moving on with her life, as ''the entire theme of the story is also about change in general'']]! It's just such a shame that this serial almost doesn't make sense without multiple viewings or [[AllThereInTheManual seeing the documentary and commentary attached to the DVD release...]] --{{NewtypeS3}}
