YMMV / The 10 Doctors

Go To


  • Crazy Is Cool:
    • A TARDIS in the form of a Cool Car.
    • Two defeating the Toymaker by cheating(?) at Crazy Eights.
    • The very concept of ten Doctors in the same adventure.
  • Fridge Horror: Several canon episodes set after this comic have the Doctor refer to himself as "the last of the Time Lords". Makes one wonder what happened to Drax and the Rani... and by extension, the two innocent companions travelling with them.
  • Harsher in Hindsight:
    • The Dalek conversions of the High Council, the Lady President, and Tenthe are a lot like Oswin's Dalek conversion in "Asylum of the Daleks". And the Doctor fighting off the Dalek programming is similar to Oswin doing the same thing.
    • Eight calls Nine "my successor" when saying goodbye, but Nine will not talk to Eight and leaves in a huff. Eight concludes that he will end up doing something horrible. Nine's anger makes much more sense after "The Night of the Doctor" revealed that Eight willingly allowed his regeneration into the War Doctor - Eight's actual successor.
    • Speaking of "The Night of the Doctor", in that special it's revealed that Daleks and Time Lords are regarded as more or less the same during the height of the Time War. In The 10 Doctors, thanks to the Valeyard's experiments, they did become the same.
    • Ten can't keep count of how many incarnations he has left, whether it's two or three. Turns out it was two, as cemented during "The Time of the Doctor".
    • The Valeyard created the Time Daleks by forcing Time Lords into Dalek casings. In Series 12, the Master would follow in his footsteps by cyber-converting Time Lords into CyberMasters.
  • Heartwarming in Hindsight: Ten hugging Five the first time they met becomes this when you take into account that it was written before "Time Crash", which also shows Ten admiring Five.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight:
    • Again, Ten gushing over Five a year before "Time Crash".
    • Omega's plan to destroy One, which would cause the universe to plunge into chaos, is similar to the Great Intelligence trying to destroy the Doctor across his timestream which would cause destruction across the universe in "The Name of the Doctor", which came out over four years later.
    • Seven comments that the ramshackle alternate power supply for the TARDIS that Nine came up with post-Time War (and thus after Gallifrey and the Eye of Harmony were inaccessible) is "an explosion waiting to happen". This, way before Eleven is confronted by the problem in "The Pandorica Opens"/"The Big Bang".
    • Seven and Three commenting on a mid-life crisis about Nine is downright prophetic of "The Day of the Doctor", where the War Doctor ponders the exact same thing about Ten and Eleven.
    • Basically the same explanation for why the Doctors don't remember these multi-Doctor events is given in "The Day of the Doctor".
    • While we're talking about "The Day of the Doctor", in that episode, the Curator (who looks like an aged Four) tells Eleven that he'll one day revisit some of his favourite old faces. In this comic, the Valeyard, who is the Doctor's future dark side given form, regenerates into a younger version of One.
    • Dr. Grace Holloway kisses Romana II, believing her to be the Doctor in a female form. She is incorrect. However, flash forward to the Thirteenth Doctor...
  • Les Yay: Grace believes that Romana II is actually the regenerated Doctor, and leans in to kiss her. When she finds out the truth, she's... noticeably embarrassed. For her part, Romana mentions that the kiss was "nice" and later on mentions that Humans are the species that get hung up about this sort of thing, but it doesn't bother Time Lords. The next panel, they're seen kissing in the background.
