Rich's Notes: the Ten Doctors: a Graphic Novel by Rich Morris 77 The Ten Doctors: A Graphic Novel by Rich Morris Chapter 4 77 Rich's Notes: Sabalom Glitz arrives on the Imperial Dalek flagship with a precious cargo for Davros. He has a brief encounter with a Dalek before the Rani, who he’d picked up earlier, shoves it out of the way contemptuously. The Ten Doctors: A Graphic Novel by Rich Morris Chapter 4 78 Rich's Notes: After Sabalom Glitz and the Rani have a discussion about etiquette, Davros introduces them to the 7th Doctor as his ‘accomplices’. The Ten Doctors: A Graphic Novel by Rich Morris Chapter 4 79 Rich's Notes: Sabalom Glitz and Davros make their exchange. The Ten Doctors: A Graphic Novel by Rich Morris Chapter 4 80 Rich's Notes: The 2nd Doctor finally shows up, nabbing the Lazar’s Disease sample from Davros’ claw and tossing it to his future self. A bit of silly Doctorish banter follows with the two Doctors tossing the sample back and forth to confuse the Daleks. But Davros finally puts the squash down with a threat they cannot ignore. If the 2nd Doctor gets killed… what will happen to the 3rd through 10th??? The Ten Doctors: A Graphic Novel by Rich Morris Chapter 4 81 Rich's Notes: The 7th Doctor fakes Davros out, tossing a “Galactic Missile” firecracker into his clamshell and slamming it closed. The Doctors, the Rani and Sabalom Glitz all make a break for it while the Daleks try to figure out their priorities: save their emperor or capture the Doctor. And I’ve got to get me a better pencil. This one’s too damn smudgy. The Ten Doctors: A Graphic Novel by Rich Morris Chapter 4 82 Rich's Notes: The 7th Doctor collars Glitz about his activities, but Glitz only confesses to betraying the Daleks. The 2nd Doctor’s questioning of the Rani turns up a defensive reply. But just as the Doctors discover that the TARDIS is being well guarded, they are attacked by the Renegade Daleks assisted by the 6th Doctor. The Ten Doctors: A Graphic Novel by Rich Morris Chapter 4 83 Rich's Notes: The 6th Doctor is using the Dalek’s confusion, pretending to be the Keeper who is helping them from Gallifrey. He assists in an attack on the Imperial Dalek’s mothership. The 4th Doctor has some questions about his motives. The Ten Doctors: A Graphic Novel by Rich Morris Chapter 4 84 Rich's Notes: The 6th Doctor tells the 4th Doctor a little bit of what he’s learned and gives him the brush off, instructing him to stay out of the way and not to get himself killed. However, when the 4th Doctor indicates that he’s put Earth in danger with his crazy plan, the 6th Doctor orders him to makes sure nothing happens to it. The 4th Doctor is unimpressed. The Ten Doctors: A Graphic Novel by Rich Morris Chapter 4 85 Rich's Notes: The 4th Doctor crawls through the ducting towards the TARDIS. He pauses to look at the tactical display and exterior view screen in the Dalek sensor controls section of the ship. That’s when he notices that the Imperial Dalek ship has turned and attacked with unexpected response time. He disappears in an explosion of arcing electricity, sparks and twisting metal. All the Doctors after him in temporal continuity feel the effects. ….Meanwhile on Earth…. The Ten Doctors: A Graphic Novel by Rich Morris Chapter 4 86 Rich's Notes: Brigadier Winnifred Bambara watches the sky while the UNIT forces set up the weapons trained on the warehouse in accordance with the call-in from Sarah Jane Smith. She is approached by Captain Jack Harkness of Torchwood who engages her in a little traditional banter. Apparently these two have met before. Suddenly Ms. Smith herself comes out of the warehouse with K9 and carrying a limp Romana between herself and Jamie. Captain Jack agrees to help her get the woman to the hospital. (And this page reminds you, in case there was any doubt at all, that Rich doesn’t enjoy drawing backgrounds) The Ten Doctors: A Graphic Novel by Rich Morris Chapter 4 87 Rich's Notes: Doctor Grace Holloway jokes with intern Martha Jones about why she moved to England from the US. She uses the unbelievable truth to distract her from the facts. Grace gets called into emergency to consult on a peculiarity of a new patient’s X-ray and the mysterious appearance of twin hearts. Grace HAS seen this before! (Keeping current, Grace was last seen resigning from the hospital in 1999 [The Fox Film aka: The Enemy Within] and being the first companion to be romantically interested in the [8th] Doctor.) The Ten Doctors: A Graphic Novel by Rich Morris Chapter 4 88 Rich's Notes: Dr.Grace Holloway comes to check on the patient, who she manages to convince herself is the Doctor. She greets him with a kiss. Romana wakes up, startled. The Ten Doctors: A Graphic Novel by Rich Morris Chapter 4 89 Rich's Notes: Sarah Jane engages in that age-old fruitless passtime of arguing with hostpital procedure and protocol. Captain Jack listens in and discovers (Thanks to Jamie’s explanation and lack of discretion) that Romana is, in fact, a Time Lord. He gets into an argument with Sarah Jane over the irresponsibility of putting a Time Lord at the mercy of modern Earth medicine, but before it can be resolved, Romana steps out, apparently recovered and quite well, a thoroughly embarrassed Grace Holloway behind her. The Ten Doctors: A Graphic Novel by Rich Morris Chapter 4 90 Rich's Notes: The 3rd and 5th Doctors protest when they discover that the Federation fleet is going to engage the two Dalek forces over 21st Century Earth. The Master, however, has already tricked them into agreeing to the plan. The Ten Doctors: A Graphic Novel by Rich Morris Chapter 4 91 Rich's Notes: With the help of the Monk, the 10th Doctor makes a shattering discovery. He is here because someone is trying to change the outcome of the Last Great Time War. He holds in his hand the means to change the course of his own history, assuming nothing happens to his previous incarnations. The original of which has just encountered the Keeper of the Matrix. Aka: The Valeyard! The Ten Doctors: A Graphic Novel by Rich Morris Chapter 4 92 Rich's Notes: The Valeyard pretends to be a legitimate future incarnation of the Doctor to lure the 1st Doctor into a trap: a teleport module which he programs to fly into the dying sun of Proammon. He disables the navigational circuit before transmatting back to Gallifrey. The Ten Doctors: A Graphic Novel by Rich Morris Chapter 4 93 Rich's Notes: The Master reveals two Earth space fighters he’s held in reserve, suggesting that he and the 3rd Doctor join the pilots in the upcoming battle with the Daleks. The 5th Doctor agrees to go instead, and deliberately chooses the opposite ship to the one the Master offers. The Ten Doctors: A Graphic Novel by Rich Morris Chapter 4 94 Rich's Notes: Tegan and Peri find a curious excavation site while wandering around the bowels of the cyberlab in the complex under the warehouse. They attempt to find a way out and nearly run into a group of cybermen who are about to awaken the still-dormant Silurians who have been outfitted with cybercontrol units. The companions are captured before they can make a break for it. (Observant readers will probably ask: “Why doesn’t Tegan recognize the Silurians? After all, she was in the second of two episodes they appeared in - Warriors of the Deep. Well, the answer is quite simple. The 5th Doctor, Tegan and Turlough were pulled from their time line shortly after The Five Doctors and before that episode! So as far as Tegan is concerned here, that hasn’t happened yet. ) The Ten Doctors: A Graphic Novel by Rich Morris Chapter 4 95 Rich's Notes: Nyssa has agreed to help Mel track down Sabalom Glitz who abandoned her on Terminus. In so doing she has noticed that he managed to slip back in time using a temporal jump drive. Mel has about giving up hope of reuniting with her partner, but Nyssa reveals that she has a trick up her sleeve. A temporal jump drive of her own! The Ten Doctors: A Graphic Novel by Rich Morris Chapter 4 96 Rich's Notes: Ace and Rose, in attempting to track down and rescue Jamie, who they believe had been captured by Cybermen, wind up having a good time destroying Daleks with Ace’s Nitro 9. They stumble across a specially outfitted Dalek who has been assigned to clear the transmission signals scrambled by the Cybermen. The Dalek fleet have been instructed not to transmit any more Daleks to the Earth’s surface and shut down the system until further notice… when two little innocent-looking hairspray cans rattle their way to the Dalek Communications specialist. The Ten Doctors: A Graphic Novel by Rich Morris Chapter 4 97 Rich's Notes: Davros is surprised to find his communications expert Dalek has been destroyed. And only the Doctor could have done that. He threatens the Doctor (unaware that he, in fact, has two incarnations on board instead of just one). The 7th Doctor forms a plan that involves the 2nd Doctor going down to Earth to help the humans fight and defeat the Cybermen and Daleks, while he (and the Rani) stay aboard to prevent Davros’ Daleks from repairing the comm signals that prevent them from sending down reinforcements.

    DOCTOR WHO - it's a question and a statement... Compiled by James Deacon [2013] http://aetw.org/omega.html DOCTOR WHO - it's a Question, and a Statement ... Every now and then, I read comments from Whovians about how the programme is called: "Doctor Who" - and how you shouldn't write the title as: "Dr. Who". Also, how the central character is called: "The Doctor", and should not be referred to as: "Doctor Who" (or "Dr. Who" for that matter) But of course, the Truth never quite that simple As the Evidence below will show... * * * * * * * http://aetw.org/omega.html THE PROGRAMME Yes, the programme is titled: "Doctor Who", but from the very beginning – in fact from before the beginning, the title has also been written as: “DR WHO”.

  • Doctor Who and the Genesis of the Daleks
    DOCTOR WHO AND THE GENESIS OF THE DALEKS By Terrance Dicks 1 SECRET MISSION It was a battlefield. The ground was churned, scarred, ravaged. Nothing grew there, nothing lived. The twisted, rusting wrecks of innumerable war machines littered the landscape. There were strands of ragged, tangled wire, collapsed dugouts, caved-in trenches. The perpetual twilight was made darker by fog. Thick, dank and evil, it swirled close to the muddy ground, hiding some of the horrors from view. Something stirred in the mud. A goggled, helmeted head peered over a ridge, surveyed the shattered landscape. A hand beckoned, and more shapes rose and shambled forward. There were about a dozen of them, battle-weary men in ragged uniforms, their weapons a strange mixture of old and new, their faces hidden by gas masks. A star shell burst over their heads, bathing them for a moment in its sickly green light before it sputtered into darkness. The thump of artillery came from somewhere in the distance, with the hysterical chatter of automatic weapons. But the firing was some distance away. Too tired even to react, the patrol shambled on its way. A man materialized out of the fog and stood looking in bewilderment after the soldiers. He was a very tall man, dressed in comfortable, old tweed trousers and a loosely hanging jacket. An amazingly long scarf was wound round his neck, a battered, broad-rimmed hat was jammed onto a tangle of curly brown hair. Hands deep in his pockets, he pivoted slowly on his heels, turning in a complete circle to survey the desolate landscape.

  • 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.
