One thing for sure, around these parts here in the Fortress of Ineptitude, there is a lot of excitement for the new season of Doctor Who which premiers in just a couple of days.
New TV episodes are not the only new Doctor Who on the way. Debuting on January 8th is a new installment of the Doctor Who comic book published by Titan. This issue presents a crossover of Doctors. The current Doctor and her fam are in 1969 and encounter the 10th Doctor and Martha Jones while they were stuck there during the events of "Blink" from way back in Doctor Who Series 3.
Below are some pages as the Doctor gives her friends some marching orders and her perspective on sex and gender.
It's "quite simple, really."
Can it really be, the woman they know is the same person as this guy they're following? Graham seems to accept it readily enough. "Dramatic coat... the running bit. Definitely the same person."
You may recall from the episode "Blink" when Martha complained she had to get a job in a shop.
Well, here she is at that job and in that shop.
And we see the Doctor engaged in some surprising introspection.
The Doctor has a bad habit of being oblivious to the feelings of their companions. Seeing the Doctor actually be made aware of that is somewhat enlightening.
One of the criticisms of the Series 11 of Doctor Who was the disconnect from actually feeling like Doctor Who. Seeing the 13th Doctor actually interact with her history as the Doctor, even if only in comic book form, might help alleviate that.
I hope we get something of that in the TV series itself. We don't need an actual multi-Doctor story but an encounter with someone from the Doctor's past (Jack Harkness, maybe?) would be most welcome.
