What If... the Doctor remained Time Lord Victorious? (FINALE)


Finally, the journey comes to an end.

Last time, geez, we had a lot going on! Didn't we? Doctors and Masters generating, the Great Intelligence and the Matrix collapsing, and finally the Key to Reality was now released and ready to be used.

The fate of the omniverse lies in the hands of... the Time Lord Victorious!

Let's see how it ends!

From MadCap's Couch - Doctor Who: "The Time of Angels"

Why did you get the Angel's Big Brother audition tape?

Alright, we come to it at last. Moffat's re-introduction of the character of River Song and, for good and ill, all that would mean through most of the Matt Smith era and a bit of a denouement near the end of Peter Capaldi's run. River is a character that I have complicated, but mostly positive feelings about. I'll get into the specifics of why when we hit A Good Man Goes To War, which I feel is where the conversation is best slated for given the content of said episode. For now, let's get into Time of the Angels, part one of our first two-parter in Series 5.

MadCap's Fiction Corner - Doctor Who: "The Ultimatum"


"I don't understand, Doctor. Where are we? This isn't London 1963 by any means!" Ian protested as the four re-entered the TARDIS. "Or any other time!"

From MadCap's Couch - Doctor Who: "Victory of the Daleks"

"Haven't you been here before already?"
"And I'm gonna be here a surprisingly high amount of times after, too."

Single most stupidly awesome thing in a Doctor Who episode coming in just a few paragraphs.

Just you wait!

Believe me, if you don't know what happens in this episode it will very likely blow your mind.

And I'm not even kidding!

...mostly.

MadCap's Fiction Corner - Doctor Who: "A Bad Reflection on You"


The looks exchanged between the two pairs were wary ones, neither of either duo seeming willing or able to break the tension that hung in the air between them.

"Who are you?" Ian demanded.

"Who arrrrre you?

From MadCap's Couch - Doctor Who: "The Beast Below"

"Hey, have I got something in my teeth?"

So, remember how I last time that I was talking up Moffat's era?

Yeah... here's where I have to give him a firm "Nah."

Let me elaborate.

MadCap's Fiction Corner - Doctor Who: "The Mirror World"


"Grandfather?"

"Hmm. Yes, yes, I think so."

"...grandfather?"

"Yes, let me see here. Just need to test this and-"

"Grandfather?!"

"Susan, my dear child, there is no need to shout! I can hear you perfectly well!" The older man, bent over the controls of his time-space machine, finally addressed his grandchild. "Yes, the relative stabilizers are on the blink."

From MadCap's Couch - Doctor Who: "The Eleventh Hour"


See? I told you. Just a couple of weeks.

And it seems not a moment too soon, as we are in the thick of the Doctor Who's 60th Anniversary! That's right, this show has existed for 60 years coming up in November in this, the year 2023! Needless to say, with it being my favorite TV show of all time, you know I have to celebrate! In fact, I've already started by penning Chalybe Panacea, a story in which the Ninth Doctor teams up with former companion Nyssa in order to save the universe from the 1980s Cybermen, and more stories will be following on from that. However, now that we've finally gotten Supernatural out of the way with Season 3, I think it's time to sink our teeth back into the journeys of a madman with a box.

So, with that said, let's get started!

MadCap's Fiction Corner - Doctor Who: "Chalybe Panacea" (Epilogue)

It would be a mess when Protector Command sent in a team to secure the station, quite a bit to explain with very little left by the broken shells of Cybermen and a few dead bodies. The Cybermen had been stopped, however, and their efforts on the higher levels had been stopped by none other than a certain Tenza patient who was now well on the mend after having exerted a great deal of psychic force.
