This is only two thirds of the Trinity, the two Ranis count as one, cos I say so ๐Ÿ˜‘ The third is lying in wait, exactly 160 years away ๐Ÿค”

Okay, so something that happens in-universe in 2185... or 1865? According to TARDIS wiki, nothing special enough to be televised happened in either of those years.

2185 is enough for offspring of Susan's and David's to grow up to be some kind of menace, maybe? (Oh shi- human/time lord hybrid?) Question is, why would Earth exist (be reachable) in 2185 but not after ~~March~~ May 2025? I hadn't actually considered that it's not "160 years in the future", huh!

Edit: May. Not March.

I had blissfully forgotten "The twin dilemma" ๐Ÿคฃ

I don't know why people don't like it, the Doctor and Peri are hilarious in it. Especially Peri gets some fantastic stuff to say and emote. And children being (intentionally) just the most annoying little shits is such a rare occurrence on TV. ... Oh is there a story too? Right, that planet moving nonsense. Glad we never did THAT again. ;D

I just recall it being a terribly acted slog, but sometimes that's a plus in classic Who.

I bet it's the Ran--

Dammit.

Morbius returns or I riot.

The Zarbi are unapologetically my favorite old who one off. They need to return.

[โ€“] haverholm@kbin.earth 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I might settle for Kroll, though.

For my money, it doesn't get any more epic than the Abzorbaloff.
