I watched the Four and Leela story Invasion of Time tonight. Brilliant stuff, but one bit in particular stood out:


In episode 6, during the chase through the TARDIS, a Sontaran fires its weapon in the sickbay, hitting Andred, who's around a corner. It hurts his arm but... he doesn't die! He doesn't regenerate! Do you know what this means? Ross could have survived the Sontaran shot too! ROSS LIVES!

My denial, let me show you it.

(Also, given Ten's repeated harping on about guns in that episde, it's amusing to see Four first hold a gun to Borusa's head and tell him in deadly seriousness that he'll kill him before he sees Gallifrey fall to the Sontarans, and then use a demat gun - a giant fuck-off WMD Of Rassilon - on a couple of Sontarans.)

LOL. I was just arguing with my boyfriend about that last night, that's so funny.

Ross lives!

Definitely.

This needs to be an icon.

That is all.

I was just watching "Image of Fendahl" and Four uses a rifle in that one to kill an alien with no remorse, and then gives a handgun to a human to let him suicide. IT WAS AWESOME. I BITE MY THUMB AT TEN.



YAY ROSS. ♥

Your denial, I accept it. ;)

Four'n'Leeeela, I wish I had some new ones of theirs to still see. Rewatching's no good when you still have sixty-odd episodes to go. :(

Well, but he was either pretending he was a crazy rogue Timelord, or he *was* being a crazy rogue Timelord.

a giant fuck-off WMD Of Rassilon

I love this phrase. Also, speaking of crazy Timelords... do we ever see more of Rassilon? He's like the mad scientist who left all sorts of chaos-inducing crap around, and is remembered reverently now that he's more-or-less deaddeaddead, at least outside of the Matrix.

I did like Andred. I also was very very fond of Borusa in this episode, no matter what they did with him later on.

Also fanboying an elephant gun in the way that some boys would cars a few episodes earlier, she chimed in geekily.

I think the official wank is along the lines of 'there are people who are born on Gallifrey, and then there are Time Lords'. Time Lords, apparently, can regenerate, but plain old Gallifreians (SP?) don't. That would kind of work with New Wank re: looking into the Vortex, etc.

That's what I heard. Dunno.

I remember thinking Andred was mighty cute back in the day.

Ross/Doctor OTP!

I like your solution better than my personal grabbing of straws - Ross was partialy behind a corner, so didn't get the whole blast.

I want Ross to be the new Benton!

I want Ross to have survived. He'd make a great companion.

The Doctor is very much and very vocally not fond of guns and violence. Until he's faced with a situation where he uses them. Which is violence frequently, guns in particular less so but still.

Ross could have survived the Sontaran shot too! ROSS LIVES!

What? There are people out there who do not subscribe to this theory? Crazy. Of course he lives!

Im in denial too. I want Ross alive!!!!
