Series 4 OF YOU can be found on this page. Songs of Doctor Who Song for Ten - Song from the Christmas Invasion. Aside from sounding a little high and plinky, it's great! Song for Ten (Improved) - This is an improved version of the song from the Christmas Invasion. And it's much, much better! The drums are improved, just like everything else. My Angel Put the Devil in Me (Improved) - This is a MIDI CD version of this song. It's expanded from the TELEVISION version, and it's kind of richer and fuller. Stowaway - This is one of my favorite parts. I think it's from Voyage Of The Damned (the first episode in series 4). If you want to hear a real song (WMA format), click here. Series 3 (2007)CHRISTMAS SPECIAL: The theme of RUNAWAY BRIDEDonna - This is Donna's theme. I like it as it suits Donna very much! Taxi Chase - This is a long piece from the thrilling car chase scene in Runaway Bride. This MIDI is complete, but with a few weak parts. I like it, it did justice with this MIDI! Doctor Forever (Improved MIDI) - This is first heard in Runaway Bride then again throughout series 3. It's a very good MIDI, I like it. Donna's theme - (formerly MIDI) Theme right after the opening credits in Runaway Bride. It has a lovely rhythm and it feels very silly and jaunty. Light-hearted. It's got Nerys written all over it! EPISODE 1: SMITH AND JONES Martha Theme - the melody used throughout series 3 to represent Martha.EPISODE 2: SHAKESPEARE CODEThe Lute Song - This was first played at the beginning of the episode performed by a guy with a lute, to his girlfriend. I think it was played again in the episode, later, as well. EPSIODE 3: GRIDLOCKAll Strange Strange Creatures - This is the theme of the action heard throughout series three and in the trailer for series four (also known as the music trailer). Gridlocked Cassinis is a humorous motif from scenes from Cassinis's Gridlock. I like that it's a nervous tune, very nice. Car Jumping Sequence - Theme played during car jumping sequence, Steve did a good job with this MIDI. I like it 4 No 5: DALEKS IN MANHATTAN and EVOLUTION from DALEKSHooverville - an emotional piano, horn and string piece from this story. It's a very good piece, perfectly done. My Angel Put The Devil In Me is the original song by MIDI Tallulala from the Daleks in Manhattan. This version of how Steve originally imagined the full version would sound. (For the album version, see the song section at the top.) EPISODES 8 No 9: HUMAN NATURE and FAMILY OF BLOODSmith and Waltz Joan - Steve remade this MIDI. And I think he redraw it perfectly. I really like the new version. Ladies and gentlemen, please take your partners... for the waltz!!! Smith's choice is chaotic music from human nature, when Mr. Smith's world is turned upside down! Which one do you want us to kill? Your friend or lover? Your choice! Just scares to war - A new version of this MIDI. It's Fife's military style and the drum signal from the Blood.Martha's theme, Doctor Forever (Family of Blood) - That's when the Doctor and Martha are about to leave. It's raining, and Melanie Pappenheim belts out Martha's Theme across the valley... Then we hear Doctor Forever, and Tim Latimer is given the watch as a souvenir. EPISODE 10: BLINKBlink - Time prevails - This little piece is used first when Sally entered Wester Drumlins, and also when she visited Billy before he died. Blink - Sally Sparrow - I really like this piece. It was used when Sally decided to go to the police, and when she found out the Easter egg was for her! EPISODE 11: UTOPIAThe Futurekind - From Utopia. It's a variation on ATSSC with electric guitars and sawtooth synthesizers. Captain Jack Tardis Chase (New Version) - This plays at the beginning of Utopia when Jack runs to TARDIS trying to catch the doctor before he takes off. EPISODE 12 and 13: SOUND from DRUMS and most recently LORDSMartha drives out of trouble - This piece was used in The Sound of Drums when Martha was driving out of trouble. Martha drives away from trouble (Fleshed Out Version) - This is a version above MIDI with lots of instruments and heavy rhythms and things. Sol 3 (Martha's quest) - From the last of the Time Lords, at the very beginning. Apparently, this is the best version of Steve's previous MIDI attempt (Martha returns). But I don't think so. It's Gallifrey - It's played during the Sound of drums, when the doctor describes Gallifrey Martha and Jack. He also played during a scene where a doctor burns the teacher's body in Last Of The Time Lords. It's also one of my favorite pieces of music! Saxon's England - This is a beautiful piece of music. It is audible in the Sound of drums when the doctor, Martha and Jack put on perception filters and when the Master of Ages doctor in the old man and Martha makes his promise. England Saxon (Martha returns) - It's played on last of the Time Lords. Also, Steve upgrades to it a bit. (Salt 3 (Martha's quest)). The theme of the Master is rushing strings, tympany trempane and marching horns. Then of course tapping the rhythm! THEMESMurray Golden Theme (Advanced) - Golden Theme. It's not the best, but it's all right. Murray Gold Closing Theme - This is the final theme of the 2007 series. They were not made by Steven willis.2005 Theme - Theme from the 2005 series.2005 Theme (Version 2) - Another version of the theme from the 2005 series.2005 Theme (Version 3) - Version 3 2005 theme.2005 Theme (Version 4) - Yes, there are 4 versions of it. :P 2005 Christmas Theme - Theme from 2005 Christmas episode.2006 Theme - Theme from the 2006 series.

  • Sociopathetic Abscess Or Yawning Chasm? the Absent Postcolonial Transition In
    Sociopathetic abscess or yawning chasm? The absent postcolonial transition in Doctor Who Lindy A Orthia The Australian National University, Canberra, Australia Abstract This paper explores discourses of colonialism, cosmopolitanism and postcolonialism in the long-running television series, Doctor Who. Doctor Who has frequently explored past colonial scenarios and has depicted cosmopolitan futures as multiracial and queer- positive, constructing a teleological model of human history. Yet postcolonial transition stages between the overthrow of colonialism and the instatement of cosmopolitan polities have received little attention within the program. This apparent ‘yawning chasm’ — this inability to acknowledge the material realities of an inequitable postcolonial world shaped by exploitative trade practices, diasporic trauma and racist discrimination — is whitewashed by the representation of past, present and future humanity as unchangingly diverse; literally fixed in happy demographic variety. Harmonious cosmopolitanism is thus presented as a non-negotiable fact of human inevitability, casting instances of racist oppression as unnatural blips. Under this construction, the postcolonial transition needs no explication, because to throw off colonialism’s chains is merely to revert to a more natural state of humanness, that is, cosmopolitanism. Only a few Doctor Who stories break with this model to deal with the ‘sociopathetic abscess’ that is real life postcolonial modernity. Key Words Doctor Who, cosmopolitanism, colonialism, postcolonialism, race, teleology, science fiction This is the submitted version of a paper that has been published with minor changes in The Journal of Commonwealth Literature, 45(2): 207-225. 1 1. Introduction Zargo: In any society there is bound to be a division. The rulers and the ruled.

Arcadia , Gallifrey's "second city", was protected by a large number of sky trenches. Series 8. The War Doctor was present at the Fall of Arcadia , and it was there that he left his warning of "No More" for the combatants. Gallifrey had at least two large moons and a ring system, similar to Saturn in Earth 's solar system. Episode 3. What is Doctor Who? What did the Master do? TV : The Invasion of Time Rassilon later referred to the area that the barn in which the Doctor had slept as a child as the Drylands , claiming that no one of importance lived there. There's some sloppy exposition, revealing that The Fourth Doctor got stuck between times during his abduction and he has to sit this one out and some other sundries. The Tenth Doctor returned it to the time lock by shooting and destroying the diamond which connected Gallifrey to Earth. Share Tweet. Missy later told the Doctor that Gallifrey had returned to its original position. It was also called Gallifrey Original. I won't look. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Although these battles were stopped by Rassilon, the Death Zone remained and later became home to the Tomb of Rassilon. Doctor Who : Gallifrey stories. Basically The Third Doctor and Sarah Jane are traversing the Mountain to get to the Tomb when they come upon this guy, and there's nothing about him that doesn't suck.

  • February 26 2020 Ash Wednesday You Are Not Alone Way Back, Years
    February 26 2020 Ash Wednesday You Are Not Alone Way back, years ago, Alanis Morrisette sang a song; it was probably the one that first brought her to serious public attention. Anyone remember what it was? Ironic! Yes a song about some things going wrong when they feel like they should be going right. What’s some of the lyrics? An old man turned ninety-eight He won the lottery and died the next day Well, that’s not ironic. That’s just sad. What about.. A "no smoking" sign on your cigarette break It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife Well that’s not ironic, either. Mildly annoying, I suppose. What about… It's a death row pardon two minutes too late Well, that’s… Horrifying. Horrible! When we talk about irony, we’re talking about two things, two events or statement that seem, on the surface, to be incongruent with one another. Clear as mud! Pleasant as a root canal! Wikipedia helpfully tells me that when President Reagan was shot in 1981, all of the bullets missed him… except one, which missed the President, ricocheted on his bulletproof limo, then… Struck the president! Irony! We have, in our Gospel, something of an ironic situation. Jesus tells us, rather directly, not to practice our righteousness in public; if you fast, look healthy. Clean your face. And here we are, about to make our faces dirty. Maybe that’s ironic? So why do we do this? Why do we read Jesus’ words telling us to not outwardly share our repentance, to declare our prayers to others, then promptly do the opposite? If you know me well, and some of you do, you will know that I enjoy all kinds of geekery.

It is located in a binary star system [2] million light years from Earth. In the revived series onwards Gallifrey was originally referred to as having been destroyed in the Time Warwhich was fought between the Time Lords and the Daleks. It was depicted in a flashback in " The Sound of Drums " [1] and appeared prominently in " The End of Time " — It is never definitively stated when the appearances of Gallifrey take place. As the planet is often reached by means of time travel, its relative present could conceivably exist almost anywhere in the Earth 's past or future as well as anywhere in the conceivable universe. From space, Gallifrey is seen as a yellow-orange planet and was close enough to central space lanes for spacecraft to require clearance from Gallifreyan Space Traffic Control as they pass through Gallifrey: No. 5 system. The Time Lords' principal city, named The Capitol, consists of shining towers protected by a mighty glass dome. The planet's so-called "second city" is Arcadia, and is seen falling to the Daleks in the minisode " The Last Day. The Doctor's granddaughter Susan first describes her home world not named as "Gallifrey" at the time as having bright, silver-leafed trees and a burnt orange sky at night in the serial The Sensorites In The Time Monsterthe Third Doctor says that "When I was a Gallifrey: No.

  • “Don't Be a Warrior. Be a Doctor"
    _________________________________________________________________________ ACADEMIC | SPRING 2016 “Don't Be A Warrior. Be A Doctor" By Saljooq Asif One of the greatest challenges that war veterans face is their return, homecoming, and reintegration into standard human society. After all, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and trauma resulting from war not only affects one person, but also “creates havoc among many” (“PTSD Awareness”). Dr. Jonathan Shay examines and elaborates upon these difficulties in his literary work Achilles in Vietnam, in which he compares the experiences of Vietnam veterans with poetic descriptions of warfare in Homer’s Iliad. Shay expertly discusses several issues that veterans often experience, including special comradeships and the rageful berserk state. If, as Shay explains, the horrors of war lead to trauma and the undoing of human character, then perhaps humanity can be restored by reciprocally gazing into the face of the Other, the one who “always eludes my grasp” (Irvine 10). Indeed, those who have been traumatized by the horrors of war must first become “inhuman” in order to become human once more (Butler 104). Only when both sides—veteran and civilian, traumatized and untraumatized, Self and Other—respond to each other’s calls with unadulterated love can true healing and unity be achieved. In spite of the atrocities of war, Shay argues that soldiers can still find a unique sense of companionship in the midst of battle. Shay maintains, perhaps ironically, that war zones cultivate a strong sense of “human attachment” (39). He further explains that “[c]ombat calls forth a passion of care among men who fight beside each other that is comparable to the Page 1 of 14 earliest and most deeply felt family relationships” (39).

As America continues to change in the coming decades, the human monster undergoes multiple transformations.

  • Something in the Air: "Isolationism," Defense Spending, Public Opini
    Something in the Air: “Isolationism,” Defense Spending, and the US Public Mood By Carl Conetta, Project on Defense Alternatives October 2014 SUMMARY The report analyzes current and historical U.S. public opinion polls on global engagement, military intervention, and defense spending, finding significant fluctuation in public sentiments. The report assesses these in light of changes in policy, strategic conditions, and the economy. A comprehensive review of opinion surveys shows a trend of growing public discontent with aspects of post-Cold War U.S. global policy. This has been misconstrued by some as evidence of "neo-isolationism." In fact, a solid majority of Americans continue to support an active U.S. role in the world. Public dissent focuses more narrowly on U.S. military activism and the idea that the United States should bear unique responsibility for the world's security. Official policy along these lines has weakened public support for global engagement generally, but the public does not prefer isolation. On balance, Americans favor cooperative, diplomatic approaches to resolving conflict and they tend toward a "last resort" principle on going to war. Still, Americans will support forceful action against aggression when vital U.S. interests seem at risk. And, in prospect, they express a willingness to stem genocide. The public's initial impetus to war may be strongly emotive, tied to a catalytic event. However, polls show that more pragmatic considerations soon come into play. Ongoing support requires that the costs of war match the perceived benefits. Domestic economic conditions are key in determining the perceived "opportunity cost" of war.
