The 10 Doctors: Difference between revisions

[[File:10doctors.png|frame]]

 

 

To briefly summarise — the Tenth Doctor, in a bad mood following "[[Doctor Who/Recap/2006 CS the Runaway Bride|The Runaway Bride]]", has gone to a luxurious world called the [[Doctor Who/Recap/20th AS the Five Doctors|Eye of Orion]] to cheer himself up...only to gradually find eight of his previous selves having all arrived at the same time along with their companions. While they begin to investigate what's going on and why they've been brought together, [[Doctor Who/Recap/TVM the TV Movie|the Eighth Doctor]] (the odd one out) is on Gallifrey, investigating mysterious goings-on which seem to involve the recently-disappeared Daleks. And then things get [[Gambit Pileup|complicated...]]

The story is 247 pages long (plus a few extras along the way) and was posted from March 10, 2007 until May 27, 2009...so in a sense, it could be considered the "official" unofficial ''Doctor Who'' 45th-Anniversary Special.

* [[Actor Allusion]]: The first thing Five says to Four is "So you've decided to join us this time, have you?" [[Tom Baker]], of course, has consistently refused to reprise his role as the Fourth Doctor in any of the multi-Doctor episodes (unless you count "Dimensions in Time").

*** However, the end was uploaded after ''Time Crash'', and in said end Ten says he hopes to see Five again, and Five responds with this gem...

{{quote|Five: [[Be Careful What You Wish For]].}}

* [[Arc Words]]: In [http://comics.shipsinker.com/?id=74 Page 54], there's a throwback to the "Bad Wolf" storyline in the second panel, which focuses on 9.

* [[Ascended Meme]]: From one fan work to another! During a scene where Two needs assistance performing a TARDIS function that requires two Time Lords, he {{spoiler|uses willpower to create a "temporary manifestation" of a future incarnation. As he doesn't want it to be "that unhelpful, smug buffoon" (Three), he modifies the projection to be "different enough from me, but not yet him." The result, who stays for the remainder of the story, is the Second-and-a-Halfth Doctor (Tony Garner) from the ''Who'' fan film ''Devious''}}.

* [[Fire-Forged Friends]]: Rose and Ace. They start off [[Volleying Insults]], but are soon blowing up Daleks and Cybermen together.

* [[Flat What]] / [[Big "What?"]]: Ten gets in the usual "What? What?! What?!?"

* [[A Form You Are Comfortable With]]: {{spoiler|The Guardians say that their appearances change with the needs of their desired champions. In the story proper, both Guardians manifest as attractive humanoid women in order to toy with Ten's need for meaningful companionship, and in a flashback, the White Guardian manifests to Davros as a military officer.}}

** It's also mentioned that their appearances as {{spoiler|doddery old men in "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S16/E01 The Ribos Operation|The Ribos Operation]]" and "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S16/E06 The Armageddon Factor|The Armageddon Factor]]"}} played off of Four's need for an authority figure.
