Rollin' rollin' rollin'
Guys. Guysguysguysguys. So you know how I always complain about not knowing enough British actresses to make suggestions for potential female Doctors? Well, I've had an epiphany. Peter Capaldi and Colin Baker were both on Doctor Who prior to being the Doctor. And the only experience I have with most British actors (outside of Harry Potter and, recently, Orphan Black) is Doctor Who, so I actually do know plenty of potential female Doctors! I hadn't been factoring people who had already been on the show (aside from lamenting the fact that Karen Gillan, Jenna Coleman, and Michelle Gomez wouldn't get to play the Doctor now).
The two that came to mind immediately when I realized this were Rachael Stirling (aka Ada Gillyflower from "The Crimson Horror") and Amara Karan (aka Rita from "The God Complex").

Just cast Diana Rigg.

I want a full Martha video set to "Fuck You (Very Much)
".

And cast Patrick Macnee as her companion!
That would make Doctor Who the second Sydney Newman show they star on together.
I'll do it, once I've found the time to make a Cyberman video set to "Love (Part 1)".

Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.
Rigg as a Hartnell-esque grump with a surrogate grandson. And Macnee as the Master.

Okay, bonus points if you can include the "political correctness gone mad" shit Ten said in The Shakespeare Code in there so the whole song effectively becomes a reaction against it.
Bonus bonus points for a montage of all the horrible things Ten did to Martha.
Ask Taiey if you need help with that.
EDIT: ...I kinda wish Martha still worked for UNIT so she could show up with Kate.

... The worst thing about being 440 pages into the Squee Went the Fangirl tumblr thing. IS not knowing what the start pages now loook like and what you've missed since you started binging backwards.
Bocaj. 'S'all your fault.
Not as angry as the name would suggest.
Speaking of which, unnounnote , do these guys look like Faction Paradox material to you? I thought I'd ask, because skulls and what not.
I dunno.

Do you like, need more info or something? Because so far that's the only page those guys show up on.

Oh God! Natural light!
She should have been mentioned in Di H. "Surely you want Martha Jones in a crisis like this, not me." "She's much harder to get hold of. Also, a British subject."
He's the Doctor. He could be anywhere in time and space.
I guess? Sure, they look fine.
I mean, for a formal event, black robes/dresses/suits and a mask works. As does the full suit of armor.

What about the Phantom Of The Paradise/Griffith's costume? That okay for the Faction?
Of course, don't you know anything about ALCHEMY?!- Twin clones of Ivan the Great
Funny but not helpful
Skull masks, sarcastic attitudes towards their superiors and the people they're talking to, casual threats os violence... seem like they'd be at home in the faction.
The question you've got to ask yourself when you want to k ow if something woukd fit in the faction paradox line is: would a teenage edgelord like this?
Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.

I will need to leave for work tomorrow at about 5:30 game time.
The nature of the work (pizza delivery) is such that I might have been able to check in from my phone like I was doing at my last job, but my wireless carrier blocked the port IRC works on or something.

Ah, just realized today's the 51st anniversary. Yay!
The Ten story in that collection was really good. Mainly because you get the feeling that Landy was written what Ten was actually supposed to be rather than what he actually was, so you get this Ten who's kind of an arrogant dick but he's still a nice guy and it's kind of acknowledged that he's a bit of an ass.
Most of those stories were really good to be honest, except the One story. It's got some horrendously OOC bits.
I think that's an unfair assessment.

I hated that anthology. It did Ace wrong, and the Nine one was seriously specieist and most of them were boring. Gaiman's was good, that Martha one fine.

Sorry, tl;dr I just finished watching the Death In Heaven episode of Doctor Who and I still felt it left something unresolved. Has the show offered an explanation yet as to why Clara is the "impossible girl", ie why there are multiple Claras existing in the time frame or why she can magically come back? Last season kind of touched upon that and I was hoping this season would delve into it more but it kind of side stepped it.
Did I miss something here? Was it ever explained on the show?
