Did the Production team have something about boxers? as they cast Sugar Ray Robinson as Biff in Giants & All That Jazz, & Jerry Quarry as Bron in A Place Called Earth.


By PJW on Wednesday, May 02, 2001 - 4:46 am:

To be honest, you could link Doctor Who with any sci-fi series in some way. Even (shudders) Star Trek. That's what makes DW so great - it can encompass all forms of sci-fi, because of it's flexibility. It can cover mutants, races, federations, spaceships, historicals and psuedo-historicals, you name it. By contrast, ST has to work harder to diversify, because it has to explain it all.

Crossover Movie:

It'll never happen, but someone imagined what the titles would look like. Does have an interesting version of the theme.


http://youtube.com/watch?v=dwxMwDfSLMg


By Kevin on Sunday, August 20, 2006 - 3:30 am:

I watched it waiting for something to happen. Sorry, Chris, but I'd have preferred to have read a bunch of names as a .txt file than sit through four minutes of them flashing slowly on the screen. (Not your fault. Anything would seem boring after the 11 Doctors trailer!) :-)


By Chris Todaro on Sunday, August 20, 2006 - 10:06 am:

I did say it was just the titles.

I liked it because it got my imagination going about what a crossover would be like. What kind of story would it be? Could it be done well and believably in the framework of both series? Would it "mend fences" between the more rabid fans of both series that considers the other substandard, or would both consider the TARDIS materializing on the Starship Enterprise just silly and demeaning to both series?


(Plus, if nothing else, the version of the Doctor Who theme in these titles would be perfect for a "Time War" Doctor Who movie.)


By Emily on Monday, August 21, 2006 - 11:53 am:

I think Dimensions in Time conclusively proved that our TARDIS should NEVER condescend to materialise anywhere that isn't pure Who. I even cringe at lines like 'Arthur Dent - now that was a nice man' (Christmas Invasion) despite having nothing against Hitchhikers. Which is just fine, in its place. Its place - like the place of any other TV programme ever - being way, WAY below Doctor Who. Barely worthy of grovelling at Who's feet, in fact, with any sort of miscegenation being out of the question.


By Chris Todaro on Monday, August 21, 2006 - 3:41 pm:

Miscegenation?.....[looks in dictionary].....

What do you you know? It IS a word. I've learned something new! :) I would have mixed feelings myself in the extremely unlikely event that they ever actually did a crossover movie.

By the way, what did you think of the theme music?


By Emily on Tuesday, August 22, 2006 - 11:29 am:

*Sniff* I s'pose the theme music was...recognisable. Though whoever did that gave Trekkies precedence, there's no doubt about it. AND they couldn't even spell Russell T God's name right...


By Christopher Todaro (Ctodaro) on Tuesday, December 23, 2008 - 5:04 am:

Hey look! Someone actually did one. It's not bad.

By steve McKinnon (Steve) on Saturday, December 27, 2008 - 6:57 am:

That was excellent!

Here's part 2:

Ugg, ugg, what kind of sick-minded pervert would stick TREKKIES in the middle of what WOULD have been a delightful slice of Eccy/Tennanty goodness?


By Christopher Todaro (Ctodaro) on Monday, January 11, 2010 - 4:50 am:

It seems a Who/Trek crossover was considered:

By Tim McCree (Tim_m) on Tuesday, January 12, 2010 - 5:38 am:

This was really well done, Doctor Who and Star Trek coming together, my two favourite science fiction shows. I really enjoyed it.


By Callie (Csullivan) on Tuesday, August 10, 2010 - 4:50 am:

Doctor Who gets Simpsonized


By Emily Carter (Emily) on Tuesday, August 10, 2010 - 5:48 am:

Ah, bless! Even the new Daleks look adorable!


By Callie (Csullivan) on Friday, August 13, 2010 - 3:34 am:

And now in Lego! (albeit in cartoon form)

I must admit I'm struggling to identify some of them, and the screwdrivers are the wrong colour, I think, but I love Ten's detachable hand!


By Emily Carter (Emily) on Friday, August 13, 2010 - 7:25 am:

Oh, aren't they wonderful! And...thorough. I don't recognise several of 'em either. I think my favourite (aside, as you say, from Mr Detatchable Hand) is Cassandra...


By Chris Marks (Chris_marks) on Friday, August 13, 2010 - 9:29 am:

On that note, I did see models for a Lego Tardis, fourth Doctor and K9 a few years ago.

Quite silly.


By Emily Carter (Emily) on Saturday, August 14, 2010 - 10:48 am:

We have name tags, people!

http://www.flickr.com/photos/8913026@N06/4884763226/

Though even WITH name tags, Sarah, Jenny, Rory and 'One of the Family of Blood' are pretty unrecognisable. And is it fair to label Mickey as 'Mickey the Idiot' when he's in full universe-saving hard guy mode?


By Mike Konczewski (Mkonczewski) on Friday, January 14, 2011 - 11:20 am:

The link didn't work.


By ScottN (Scottn) on Friday, January 14, 2011 - 12:09 pm:

Try this.


By Christopher Todaro (Ctodaro) on Saturday, February 11, 2012 - 8:06 am:

A Star Trek/Doctor Who crossover is apparently going to happen:


http://www.bleedingcool.com/2012/02/10/scoop-doctor-who-star-trek-official-crossover/


By Tim McCree (Tim_m) on Sunday, December 08, 2013 - 6:57 am:

How about a crossover with the new British series, Atlantis. The Doctor can pop by and team up with Jason, Hercules, and Pythagoras.

Maybe they can find a way to life the curse from poor Medusa.

BTW: Jason, in his series, is from 21st Century Earth. Somehow, while trying to find out what happened to his father, he was transported to Atlantis (which seems to exist in another dimension on this show).

Since the Wiki entry includes brackets, it won't work here as a link. If you're interested, go to Wikipedia and enter Atlantis (TV Series) for more info on this show.


By Francois Lacombe (Franc0is) on Sunday, December 08, 2013 - 7:10 am:

Since the Wiki entry includes brackets, it won't work here as a link.

I have seen this statement made many times, so I'm testing it because I am curious.


By Tim McCree (Tim_m) on Wednesday, April 16, 2014 - 5:56 am:

The Doctor could always turn up on Red Dwarf. I think that would make a smegging good story.


By Finn Clark (Finnclark) on Wednesday, April 15, 2015 - 7:27 am:

The Time Tunnel. The Doctor could figure out where Doug and Tony have been for the last 47 years and finally send them home. Possibly, they could pick up Sam Beckett from Quantum Leap along the way.


By Francois Lacombe (Franc0is) on Wednesday, April 15, 2015 - 8:03 am:

Unless I remember it wrong, Sam did not travel physically through time, only his mind did.


By Tim McCree (Tim_m) on Tuesday, April 21, 2015 - 5:10 am:

Actually Sam did physically travel in time. He was just seen and heard as the person he temporarily replaced.

There was one episode where he leapt into a Vietnam vet who had no legs (he lost them in the war). Yet, there was a scene, where he had to get up and walk to save someone. Of course, anyone looking at him saw this legless guy floating in the air.


By Francois Lacombe (Franc0is) on Tuesday, April 21, 2015 - 5:43 am:

Ah, I always thought it was a mind exchange, his mind in the body of a person in the past, and that person's mind in his body in the present, and that was why those around him saw him as the past person, even himself when he looked in a mirror.


By steve McKinnon (Steve) on Tuesday, April 21, 2015 - 11:55 am:

I always assumed it was Sam's soul that time travelled?


By Emily Carter (Emily) on Tuesday, April 21, 2015 - 11:58 am:

*Shakes head in contemptuous pity at losers who think they can time-travel without a sexy blue box...*


By Keith Alan Morgan (Kmorgan) on Wednesday, April 22, 2015 - 5:05 am:

What color was the machine that Sam used to time travel with?

There's great potential for an Arrowverse crossover. I mean you already have Captain Jack as Malcolm Merlin on Arrow and on the upcoming spinoff, The Atom you'll have Rory as Rip Hunter, Time Master.


By Tim McCree (Tim_m) on Wednesday, April 22, 2015 - 5:35 am:

I can just see Emily blasting both actors for leaving the Whoniverse for "Lesser Programmes" as she would put it.


By Emily Carter (Emily) on Wednesday, April 22, 2015 - 6:45 am:

Well, usually I would but in THIS case, they're not really to blame. You just KNOW Captain Jack would spend the rest of his life in the Whoniverse if he could, and poor Rory got the boot because AMY decided to leave...


By Finn Clark (Finnclark) on Wednesday, April 29, 2015 - 5:43 am:

How about Dr. Bunsen Honeydew as a renegade Time Lord and Beaker as his assistant. The Swedish Chef could be the villain.


By Tim McCree (Tim_m) on Sunday, May 03, 2015 - 5:17 am:

The Doctor ends up on Keeping Up With The KarTRASHians, and discovers they're all aliens out to the minds from their viewers.

Can the Doctor stop these evil Kardies, before it's too late?


By Finn Clark (Finnclark) on Sunday, May 10, 2015 - 5:26 am:

Dr. Who Enters The Stephen King Universe

So what if the Doctor landed his Tardis in the New England scenarios of Stephen King and encountered....

The Spider Monster/Killer Clown from IT. The Spider in the novel was an Alien left behind by a Other World craft in Prehistoric times. This could've been one of the Spiders from Metebelis 3 from Jon Pertwee's PLANET OF THE SPIDERS

The zombie creatures from PET SEMATARY which is revealed as a sinister scheme concocted by his nemesis The Master... or the Master joins forces with the Vampire residents of 'Salem's Lot to do Lord knows what...

The Rani decides to befriend the tormented Carrie White and have her use her telekenetic powers to achieve an evil scheme on Earth...

The Doctor and whatever companion(s)try to prevent the evil of the Alien Craft in THE TOMMYKNOCKERS from being unleashed....


By Tim McCree (Tim_m) on Sunday, May 10, 2015 - 5:31 am:

Hey, Moff, take some notes here...


By Judi Jeffreys (Jjeffreys_mod) on Thursday, May 14, 2015 - 12:44 am:

re: the Doctor meeting Doc Brown from BTTF.

The Doctor would probably look with amused condescension at the DeLorean, but would probably clap Brown on the back all the same.

Although, it may be more interesting to see how each regeneration of the Doctor would respond to Doc Brown. Three would probably steal the DeLorean for some single-dimensional road-racing.


By Keith Alan Morgan (Kmorgan) on Thursday, May 14, 2015 - 5:25 am:

Pertwee: Roads, Sarah Jane? Where we're going, we won't need roads!

;-)


By Francois Lacombe (Franc0is) on Thursday, May 14, 2015 - 5:45 am:

There are tons of such crossovers on Youtube, like this one for instance.


By Emily Carter (Emily) on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 - 3:59 pm:

Looks like we had a narrow escape...DWM: 'Gareth Thomas has recalled that he and Tom Baker...were both desperately keen for the Doctor to bump into Blake in one show or the other: just a quick, parenthetic "Morning, Doctor!", "Morning, Roj!", as they breezed past, both too busy saving their respective universes to stop for small-talk.'


By Francois Lacombe (Franc0is) on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 - 6:09 pm:

Hey! Maybe they could officially do something like that with Capaldi Doctor and Cumberbatch Sherlock.


By Tim McCree (Tim_m) on Thursday, May 21, 2015 - 5:10 am:

The Doctor could have teamed up with Blake and Co. to stop the new Servelan/Master alliance.


By Judi Jeffreys (Jjeffreys_mod) on Thursday, May 21, 2015 - 6:37 am:

This is the male Master, right Tim? I couldn't stand to see Missy vamping it up with Servelan...


Why can't we have a DW/Our Gang crossover? Darla and Alfalfa help foil an alien plot and we learn that the Gwen/Gwyneth explanation is why Jane Withers looked so much like a little girl Alfalfa


By Emily Carter (Emily) on Thursday, May 21, 2015 - 9:12 am:

Maybe they could officially do something like that with Capaldi Doctor and Cumberbatch Sherlock.

If he lived in the Whoniverse, wouldn't SHERLOCK HOLMES be smart enough to notice all those alien invasions...?

I couldn't stand to see Missy vamping it up with Servelan...

What's WRONG with Missy vamping it up with Chessene (Servalan. Whatever)??


By Judibug (Judibug) on Sunday, May 31, 2015 - 2:56 pm:

Shame they never did a crossover with the Muppet Show. The Doctor allies with a piece of green felt that has Jim Henson's hand up its' rear.


By Keith Alan Morgan (Kmorgan) on Monday, June 01, 2015 - 6:10 am:

I can see the Doctor on the planet Koozbain.

Doctor: We're just in time for the gallio-hoop-hoop.


By Keith Alan Morgan (Kmorgan) on Monday, June 01, 2015 - 6:15 am:

Emily - If he lived in the Whoniverse, wouldn't SHERLOCK HOLMES be smart enough to notice all those alien invasions...?

I wonder what a 'Sherlock scan' through the Doctor's eyes would look like?

While not Doctor Who, I seem to recall seeing a book featuring Sherlock during the events of The War Of The Worlds (maybe even more than one book).


By Keith Alan Morgan (Kmorgan) on Monday, June 01, 2015 - 6:19 am:

Oh, Doctor Who & UFO would seem to make for an interesting crossover.

What if instead of UNIT the Doctor became the scientific adviser for SHADO.


By Keith Alan Morgan (Kmorgan) on Monday, June 01, 2015 - 6:30 am:

Or a team-up with Ivar from Valiant Comics Timewalker.

Barry Windsor-Smith created the Doctor Who-esque character during the TSLABY. Smith's later creator-owned Paradoxman was similar.


By Tim McCree (Tim_m) on Tuesday, June 02, 2015 - 5:31 am:

Me on December 8, 2013:

How about a crossover with the new British series, Atlantis.

Scratch that. Atlantis has been cancelled. Dang, I liked that show :-(


By Emily Carter (Emily) on Tuesday, June 02, 2015 - 6:50 am:

*Shakes head mock-sadly* Robin Hood, King Arthur, Atlantis...they ALL tried to fill the bottomless chasm that is the between-Who-seasons Saturday slot. And they all failed dismally. (In the case of Atlantis, they REALLY should have seen it coming. I mean, Who does a great (if dead) King Arthur and a great (if highly annoying) Robin Hood, but even WHO failed to do a good Atlantis story...)


By Kate Halprin (Kitten) on Tuesday, June 02, 2015 - 8:08 am:

It's not that long ago that you were waxing lyrical about 'The Underwater Menace'.

How quickly they forget!


By Rodney Hrvatin (Rhrvatin) on Tuesday, June 02, 2015 - 6:28 pm:

Well actually it's a return to her original thoughts as she genuinely hated it when the board started up (it's all there on the board- makes for great reading)


By Emily Carter (Emily) on Wednesday, June 03, 2015 - 3:52 am:

I don't hate it any more! I was thinking mainly of The Time Monster, honest! When you're in the right mood Underwater Episode Two is sheer delight! It's just that it's SO LONG since I've been in the right mood thanks to the BBC screwing up the DVD release...


By Keith Alan Morgan (Kmorgan) on Sunday, June 07, 2015 - 5:31 am:

I was looking at some SF figures/toys based on sci-fi characters & realized that Daleks vs. Predators could be an interesting crossover.


By Kate Halprin (Kitten) on Sunday, June 07, 2015 - 8:43 am:

Also potentially quite interesting (if a bit short), 'Adric vs. Predator'.


By Francois Lacombe (Franc0is) on Sunday, June 07, 2015 - 9:31 am:

I was looking at some SF figures/toys based on sci-fi characters & realized that Daleks vs. Predators could be an interesting crossover.

Seriously, it wouldn't even be a contest.


By Judibug (Judibug) on Sunday, June 07, 2015 - 5:04 pm:

how about this... Doctor Who, Indiana Jones and the Quest For More of Fandom's Money?


By Judibug (Judibug) on Sunday, June 07, 2015 - 5:08 pm:

The Doctor could always turn up on Red Dwarf. I think that would make a smegging good story.

Just imagine the Cat hearing about the Cat nurses on New Earth.


By Keith Alan Morgan (Kmorgan) on Monday, June 08, 2015 - 3:29 am:

Francois - Seriously, it wouldn't even be a contest.

Well, I suppose it depends on which Daleks you use. RTD's overpowered munchkins yes, but Classic series Daleks would be more interesting.

Judibug - Just imagine the Cat hearing about the Cat nurses on New Earth.

Just imagine the Cat critiqueing the Doctor's wardrobe. ;-)


By Tim McCree (Tim_m) on Monday, June 08, 2015 - 5:20 am:

Daleks vs. Predators

No contest. The Predators would make short work of Davros's pepper pots.


By Judibug (Judibug) on Monday, June 08, 2015 - 5:27 am:

what's a Predator?


By Tim McCree (Tim_m) on Monday, June 08, 2015 - 5:30 am:

This:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predator_%28alien%29


By Francois Lacombe (Franc0is) on Monday, June 08, 2015 - 11:57 am:

No contest. The Predators would make short work of Davros's pepper pots.

One on one, perhaps, although a race who boasts that a single one of them could deal with a hundred thousand cypermen is nothing to sneeze at. But then the Predators would face retaliation, which would involve the merciless extermination of their entire race, and probably the complete destruction of all the planets they occupy for good measure.


By Keith Alan Morgan (Kmorgan) on Tuesday, June 09, 2015 - 4:05 am:

Francois, the boasting ones were the vastly overpowered ones from the new series. (More powerful than a supernova, able to leap over tall buildings with a single glide, and nothing less than a bursting deus ex machina can pierce their force fields.)

For such a crossover it would be better to to use the Daleks from the Classic series which were dangerous, but not impossible to beat.


By Tim McCree (Tim_m) on Tuesday, June 09, 2015 - 5:01 am:

RTD always pulled out the deus ex machine, didn't he.


By Keith Alan Morgan (Kmorgan) on Tuesday, June 09, 2015 - 6:26 am:

Isn't that the reason he's called Russell T. God? ;-)


By Judibug (Judibug) on Tuesday, June 16, 2015 - 9:38 pm:

I vote for Simpsons Who. Just to see Maggie as a time lord with her sonic pacifier. Several episodes imply that Maggie has an adult's mind in an infant body. Obviously a failed regeneration.


By Tim McCree (Tim_m) on Wednesday, June 17, 2015 - 5:06 am:

The Doctor investigates why everyone in Springdale look like mutants.


By Judibug (Judibug) on Wednesday, June 17, 2015 - 5:40 am:

Mr Burns is a version of the Master crossed with Kan'po.


By Kate Halprin (Kitten) on Wednesday, June 17, 2015 - 8:28 am:

*cough* Mr Burns/Smithers *cough*

*cough* Davros/Nyder *cough*


By Tim McCree (Tim_m) on Sunday, August 02, 2015 - 5:22 am:

The Doctor meets the Woman In Black.

Of course, he would notice that she bears a striking resemblance to Alice the maid in Snowmen (because both TWIB and Alice were played by Elizabeth White).


By Keith Alan Morgan (Kmorgan) on Wednesday, August 05, 2015 - 5:14 am:

An artist created a size comparison chart with vessels from different TV shows, animes & video games including Doctor Who.

The TARDIS is amongst the competitor's in a race of several different spacecraft.


By Keith Alan Morgan (Kmorgan) on Wednesday, August 05, 2015 - 5:18 am:

Whoops! Forgot to include the blasted link! D'oh!


By Emily Carter (Emily) on Thursday, August 06, 2015 - 5:07 am:

An artist created a size comparison chart with vessels from different TV shows,

I was about to say 'WHERE THE **** IS THE TARDIS?!' when I noticed someone had kindly done so already:

Q: And where's TARDIS?
A: It's both too large and too small for the chart.


Good answer.


By Francois Lacombe (Franc0is) on Thursday, August 06, 2015 - 5:44 am:

From the outside it would be microscopic. From the inside it could contain all of these ships, with plenty of room to spare.


By Keith Alan Morgan (Kmorgan) on Friday, August 07, 2015 - 4:30 am:

Also considering that on that chart 1 pixel is equal to 10 meters, the TARDIS would have to about 1/10th of a pixel wide which would be tough to represent in computer art. ;-)


By Jjeffreys_mod (Jjeffreys_mod) on Monday, January 11, 2016 - 10:06 am:

How would the Doctor have fared against The Shop from Firestarter?


By Emily Carter (Emily) on Saturday, April 16, 2016 - 6:02 am:

Moffat in DWM, when asked if he'd do a Who/Star Trek crossover: 'I'd do it in a heartbeat. Talk to the other lot.'

MOFFAT MUST GO!

Oh, wait...


By Judibug (Judibug) on Sunday, July 17, 2016 - 8:03 am:

I have an old fanzine somewhere that has nothing but Doctor Who crossover stories. Of course there's the obligatory Who/Star Trek crossovers (Classic Who, of course, as this was in the '80s), but others included Wizards & Warriors, All Creatures Great and Small (Peter Davison was one of the stars of that show; he played a veterinarian), Remington Steele, and M*A*S*H.


By Francois Lacombe (Franc0is) on Sunday, July 17, 2016 - 8:36 am:

Mmmmm, the Doctor lands in Korea and puts an end to the war. I like that. I bet Hawkeye would LOVE that.


By Emily Carter (Emily) on Sunday, July 17, 2016 - 2:21 pm:

I have an old fanzine somewhere that has nothing but Doctor Who crossover stories...All Creatures Great and Small (Peter Davison was one of the stars of that show; he played a veterinarian)

Who the HELL wants to watch the Doctor spend three years saving the universe with his arm up a cow's backside?

On second thoughts, maybe that would have livened up the Davison Era no end. Said cow would DEFINITELY have been an improvement on some (if not all) of his ACTUAL Companions...


By Francois Lacombe (Franc0is) on Sunday, July 17, 2016 - 3:39 pm:

I'm working on my own crossover as an ongoing story. It's based Philip José Farmer's Riverworld series of novels.

Riverworld is an Earth like planet, Terra-formed to consist solely of a single long river-valley. Everyone who has died finds themselves resurrected on Riverworld. They must find out just how and why they ended up there.

I decided to adapt it for Doctor Who guest characters, using the same premise, that DW guest characters that died wake up on Riverworld.

So far the three characters I have there are Vince Hawkins, Eckersley, and Lynda (with a y) Moss). I will add more as the story goes on (this is going to be an ongoing project).

Natalie already knows about this (since she's a member of Glued To The Screen, where this story is located), but I'd just thought I'd tell the rest of you as well. Hope no one minds.


By Emily Carter (Emily) on Monday, December 12, 2016 - 1:48 pm:

The Whoniverse has its own PERFECTLY GOOD resurrection-of-every-human-who's-ever-died in The City of the Saved...


By Tim McCree (Tim_m) on Tuesday, December 13, 2016 - 5:03 am:

The City of the Saved

That name means nothing to me. I'm guessing it's an Audio, right?

Anyway, were Vince, Eckersley, or Lynda specifically mentioned? If not, I think I'm safe.

Besides, it's not like Doctor Who uses a concept just once, just ask one of the two Loch Ness Monsters or visit one the three Atlantis's.


By Emily Carter (Emily) on Tuesday, December 13, 2016 - 3:18 pm:

I'm guessing it's an Audio, right?

Faction Paradox novels, actually.

Anyway, were Vince, Eckersley, or Lynda specifically mentioned? If not, I think I'm safe.

You're TOTALLY safe.

Besides, it's not like Doctor Who uses a concept just once, just ask one of the two Loch Ness Monsters or visit one the three Atlantis's.

Loch Ness Monsters and Atlantises are one thing (well, two things. Five things. WHATever). But coping with ONE afterlife is bad enough for people like me without having TWO of the bug -er, ideologically confusing things - to deal with.

Just for the record, the City of the Saved was created by Compassion-the-TARDIS. I just hope YOU have as good an excuse. (Not that that WAS a particularly good excuse, I mean, Compassion's name WAS supposed to be ironic.)


By Tim McCree (Tim_m) on Wednesday, December 14, 2016 - 5:03 am:

Faction Paradox was written by your friend, Lawrence Miles, right?


As for me, well, I'm really borrowing a lot from the Riverworld stories. Check out the link below, it can explains things much better than I can:


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riverworld


That being said, however, Vince, Eckersley, and Lynda aren't wandering around some afterlife. Rather their physical bodies have been restored. There is no magic here, just science so advanced that it seems like magic.

Superman sensing people in peril runs into the Tardis and gets part way through changing when it dawns on him it's not a phone box and there's a two second moment of awkward silence with him and 12 liking at each other.
12 (deadpan), "Yes it's bigger on the inside, don't you have people to save?".
Superman quickly finishes getting changed and flies off.

By Kate Halprin (Kitten) on Friday, December 30, 2016 - 4:13 am:

Superman is dressed like a circus strongman of the late 1930s, and was also created in a period when capes and tights were considered the costume of the future (as in 'Things to Come', and every other Astounding cover). So there is a logic to what he wears.

The sixth Doctor, on the other hand...

He wasn't scared of her, well, not when he had his powers anyway. The weird part is that she behaved as if she actually could take him on.


By Judibug (Judibug) on Monday, February 20, 2017 - 4:34 am:

I think Dr. Who prevails:
The Zombies of Pet sematary aren't particularly dangerous unless you're completely unprepared for them- they don't move as fast as humans and can be killed as easily as humans. The question here is what happens if the Wendigo decides to make an appearance.

The vampires of 'Salem's Lot' aren't particularly intelligent. The ones left in the Lot after Barlow is killed don't even seem particularly interested in taking over other towns- they just seem to pick off stray travellers and make occasional raids on nearby settlements. They've got the usual weaknesses- religious symbols, sunlight and the like. They DO seem to have some mind control powers although this varies from vampire to vampire.

The Tommyknockers should be no problem for the Doctor- this is what he handles on a regular basis after all.

Carrie is a wild card- the Doctor might be able to use some gadget to stun her or maybe he could just talk to her and calm her down. After all, he does seem to have a talent for picking up random people. Carrie as the Doctor's new sidekick?

It is the major problem here. It seems to be vulnerable to children because they can use their powers of imagination to drive It into forms which have vulnerabilities. As adults, the kids who killed it knew this and were able to work as such. Will the Doctor, without this information, be able to stop It? Of course this might depend on if he meets the town librarian who was one of the kids.


By Judibug (Judibug) on Friday, March 03, 2017 - 5:49 am:

Frankly, I would love to see a Doctor Who/Aliens crossover. Maybe not quite as much as the now-scuttled Dark Horse/IDW Star Trek: The Next Generation/Aliens crossover (because the 24th-century is just too safe, and the Xenomorphs would puncture Picard's pretensions reallydamnfast), but I'd still love to see it.

Fundamentally, the Alien stories are all "base under siege" stories. One of Doctor Who's basic story types is "base under siege." A Who/Aliens story would hit the body horror buttons in a way that Doctor Who hasn't done in a long time, at least since "Asylum of the Daleks," maybe as far back as "The Tenth Planet," because Doctor Who itself has become somewhat "safe." The Xenomorph could really screw with the Doctor -- he knows the universe isn't made for us (to borrow a phrase from Carl Sagan), he's fought monsters, but he's become complacent in his old age, and he finds himself out of his depth.

The Doctor versus the Xenomorphs. There's definitely any number of stories that could be told. If Dark Horse and Titan put their heads together, I'd love to see what they could do. The question, of course, would be, "What does the BBC think about mixing their 'family show' with an R-rated horror franchise?" But it's possible to do Aliens PG-13.

Scooby Doo depended on a limitless supply of dodgy, abandoned fairground/mine owners engaging in the un-commonplace tactic of faking supernatural events.

This fic will have all the hallmarks of DW: Daleks, Companions, Cybermen, Regenerations, Multi-Palaxior Stories, etc.

The story will also be a Massive Multiplayer Crossover. Instead of going through original places, they will go to places throughout media and fandom. For example, in the first episode he crash lands his tardis on Tatooine, and meets his first companion, a Twi'lek.

But which Death's Head? The original, which met the Doctor, Death's Head II which was a different robot with some of the original's memories, or Death's Head III, which I know very little about?

But really, the idea that a character in a Marvel TV show has the same name and history of his comic book counterpart is just fan wank. The are plenty of differences between the comic and movie versions of Marvel characters that show this.


By Kevin (Kevin) on Tuesday, July 26, 2022 - 5:57 pm:

Whatever some other tv show does, Doctor Who is already canon.

A character occurring in two seemingly separate universes doesn't make anything canon. Those Cushing movies have the Daleks. Not canon. Comic strip stories have many of the same characters, but that doesn't make them canon. Twelve saying on-screen that Marinus becomes Cyberman doesn't automatically make that famous comic strip canon; it just means that the tv universe and the world of the comics have that in common, just as they have some other things in common.

Whatever Death's Head is, I'd rather see Brideshead Revisited visited.
