I've had an utterly mad idea bouncing around in my head for a while for a Doctor Who/Phineas And Ferb crossover. Don't ask me how the idea came to me, but it refuses to go away. So probably that. Actually, I might end up writing it as a fanfic eventually.

But if I were to write a for-real, actual Doctor Who episode, I think I might want to write an episode where Jack Harkness ends up returning as a companion. Somehow.

[up] I don't think you quite realize just how awesome a Doctor Who / Phineas And Ferb crossover would actually be.

I think it should be epic, though. And to do it properly, it'd have to have a Doctor Who plot with either an already-established companion or a new companion in Danville (if the episode is placed in the gaps in continuity where the Doctor travels aimlessly around the universe) and aliens (maybe Daleks or Cybermen), and it'd have to have a full-on Phineas And Ferb plot with Phineas and Ferb building something cool, Candace trying to bust them, Doofenshmirtz building an inator, and Perry coming to stop him and coincidentally destroying or removing Phineas and Ferb's device just in time for Candace to fail to show her mom.

And the Doctor Who plots and Phineas And Ferb plots would have to converge somehow. Actually, I like the idea of the TARDIS and the Doctor himself being what Candace is trying to show her mom, only for them to vworp-vworp-vworp away just before any busting could take place.

Plus, I like the idea that the crazy things that go on in Danville are actually the result of some sort of alien interference.

I just had an awesome idea. You know how we talk about the Valeyard all the time, and how it should be revisited?

Okay, how about this: The Doctor wakes up in his TARDIS and realizes that another time lord is chasing him.

It's a Nothing Is Scarier situation. We haven't seen this time lord, we just know that he has a TARDIS and is chasing the Doctor.

The Doctor keeps running throughout the episode till The Reveal at the end, where a TARDIS materializes and another Doctor walks out.

Our Doctor freaks out, and asks who it is.

We then discover that the Doctor we've been watching has been the Valeyard all along-he just thought he was the Doctor.

So it's a Tomato in the Mirror plot.

[up] That could be really cool, even reaching "Midnight"-level freakiness if done just right.

[up][up] I came up with an idea, although it's pretty standard. A bunch of Doctor Who monsters (Daleks, Cybermen, Weeping Angels, Carrionites, The Silence, etc.) get released into Danville. The Doctor shows up and enlists Phineas, Ferb, Isabella, Buford and Bailjeet to help him combat them. Candace and Vanessa also get involved, as do Perry and Doofenshmirtz (either directly or indirectly.) The parents, of course, never ever notice what is happening. At the end, all the bad guys are defeated and the Doctor offers companion status to the kids. They politely turn him down on the grounds that they belong in Danville and need to protect their family and friends. If he ever needs their help again, however, he knows where to find them.

The TARDIS fades away, cue the regular Phineas And Ferb ending.

Oh, and throw in lots of Continuity Porn from both shows. Just because.

[down] Of course it would be a cartoon. That's the proper way to do Phineas And Ferb.

[up]Only if it's a cartoon. I wouldn't like it live action.

And yes, it would be freaky. It would also make the Valeyard more than the Dream Lord or the Master- you have a real, emotional tie to him because the Valeyard isn't some Complete Monster, he's a tragic monster who believes he is the Doctor.

An introductory episode like this would build a real emotional bond between the audience and the character.

[up][up]Nah. I've been having different ideas about it.

Besides, they already kind of did the "defeat entire army of enemies" thing in Phineas And Ferb with the Across the 2nd Dimension movie. And in Doctor Who with... fuck, where do I even begin on that front? Pretty much every season finale, not even counting all the times that happened in the original series.

Meta-Crisis Ten and Rose meet the Doctor 'native' to Pete's World, still in his Ninth incarnation. He's evil.

He's like fire and ice and rage. He's ancient and forever. He burns at the centre of time. Rory punched him in the face.

I'd kinda like to revisit Rose and 10.5, if just for a few minutes to see how they're getting along.

[up] Always wanted for the Doctor to get in a straight up Bar Fight, and this seems like a decent avenue.

Had plenty of ideas about Doctor Stories, he chameleon arcs himself to go undercover in a mental institution and pulls a Memento-esque level of Note to Self to help him along. Gets stuck in a time loop on the TARDIS with a hard limit of 40 times around before it goes boom, and he's getting messages from the Doctors in other iterations ranging from helpful to utterly disturbed.

But the one that has the most promise to me is that Eleven meets up with a pissy version of Twelve that wished he did die at Lake Silencio because he feels his best days are behind him, and just wants out of the universe saving business to live out his last life in peace. (Still bitter about Handy too, friggin double dipper.) They have to team up to track down Prisoner Zero for the season's new arc, and Eleven has to look down the barrel at what he could become if he keeps shoving it into the corner every time that someone points out that he is not the best guy ever.

Um, did you watch The God Complex? Pretty sure he's aware that he's not the best guy ever.

Yeah, but to see the bad future version of the Doctor not the evilest evil that ever eviled, but instead be a burnt out Fallen Hero, wanting to have nothing to do with his legacy and scared of his own shadow? Becoming not the monster that Eleven was afraid of with the Dream Lord and the Hotel from Hell, but losing his will to do good and becoming the product of his own fear? That has to be explored.

And I'm so sick of RTD's/Moffat's "Has the Doctor gone too far?!" shtick. Really, think of something new.

Seriously, why was the Doctor so upset that Forest Lady's language had "warrior" translated as "Doctor"? It's not an automatically bad thing.
