does idris remind anyone else of delirium given who wrote this episode it shouldnt be suprising
I have lived a long time, long enough to see the future become history, empires crumble, civilizations fall and I remainMaybe it's just me, but House, when takes control of the Tardis, reminds me of Shodan, for example in: HOUSE: So, are we having fun yet? I'm rather enjoying the sensation of having you running around inside me. That recalls: Shodan: Look at you, hacker: a pathetic creature of meat and bone, panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine?
Not really something that belongs in the article, but I was watching a French fansub of the episode on Dailymotion, and where the Doctor said "Come on then Sexy," the translation was "Allons-y Sexy"!
I'm probably going to sound needy and demanding, and I'm sorry for that... but, um, does anyone plan to actually recap this episode?
Hide / Show RepliesI'm not fond of the current review up right now (I know exactly the site it came from and it functioned great as a review but not as a recap). I have an almost-complete recap done that will probably replace what's up right now once my finals are done.
Idris talks like Dr Manhattan from Watchmen. I almost added that to the "Shout Out" section, but I don't think it is one — she simply talks that way for the same reason Dr Manhattan does. So it's not a shout out, it's just two different authors doing similar things as a result of similar set-ups.
What I'm saying is, should this be added at all or is it not even worth mentioning?
Hide / Show RepliesNot exactly sure what trope this would fit under.
There was a passing line that the Doctor made concerning the Corsair that seems to suggest that Time Lords can change sex during regeneration.
Edit: Nevermind. Someone beat me to it.
Edited by XaldienThinking her name is "Sexy": I'm positive there's a trope for "You always say X when you talk to me, so my name must be X!" but for the life of me, I can't figure out what or where it is. Anyone know?
Hide / Show RepliesExplanation to the editing of the quotes - having two quotes right on top of the page is a bit much. Also, the Badass Boast is pretty much only there because it adheres to Rule of Cool while the second is far more relevant to the episode.
EDIT: Well, they're both relevant, but...you get my point.
Edited by SpiritOfSaharaNot sure where this should go, I think it's Fandom Nod and/or Leaning on the Fourth Wall (certainly a Crowning Moment Of Funny): When having their little tiff in the junkyard about the Doctor never reading instructions, Idris points out that the sign on the door of the TARDIS says "Pull to Open", but the Doctor always "pushes"!

The title - "The Doctor's Wife" - may be a callback to an incident when John Nathan-Turner was producer. Frustrated that details of upcoming episodes were being leaked to the press, Nathan-Turner placed a fictitious episode title, "The Doctor's Wife", on his production board in his office. The title was leaked to the press, but Nathan-Turner forgot to keep track of who had visited his office that week, so he never did find out who the source of the leaks was.
