Kopic's Doctor Who & Torchwood News

The 10 Doctors - Page 120 Posted: 08 Sep 2008 01:41 PM CDT At long last, page 120 has arrived. Apologies for its poor quality, I had to force this one out of a dry slog in the hopes of recapturing the muse that will start a new wave of updates. Good news is that I was more into the last panel than the rest of it. ——————- The 2nd Doctor explains to Glitz about future self projections while conjuring up assistance. He first projects a "Watcher" a faceless transitory stage in the midst of the energy burst of regeneration. He changes it to a blend of incarnations 2 and 3. Sadly, he doesn't seem to get along with this one either. ——————– An explanation of this page: The transitory incarnation 2.5 you see here was inspired by the (as yet unfinished) fanfilm, Devious starring Tony Garner playing the Two-and-a-halfth incarnation. The reason being that he just happens to bear an uncanny resemblance to both Patrick Troughton AND Jon Pertwee. While this, of course, is no more "canon" than any other fanfilm in my eyes, I just love the look of this guy, am amazed by the resemblances, and hey, they shot a regeneration completion into the 3rd Doctor WITH JON PERTWEE! His appearance in "The 10 Doctors" neither acknowledges the "Devious" storyline nor contradicts it. I just figured, man, this guy looks great and he got a chance to act with Jon Pertwee, I'm going to give him a chance to appear with Patrick Troughton, just 'cause I can. I hope they finish this thing soon, I'm dying to see it. Incidently, I have no idea if I've captured the 'angry voice' of Tony Garner's incarnation, as I've only seen one small clip with him speaking and he's doing the befuddled-trying-to-fix-the-TARDIS voice. So, Mr.Garner, if you ever see this comic, I hope you're cool with it. Good luck!

So I've got this new phone... Posted: 08 Sep 2008 07:16 AM CDT It's called a HTC Touch Diamond, and it's totally magic. I haven't got hold of any Sonic Screwdriver-esque applications for it yet (although it does have a lightsaber), but it is jolly nifty for writing blog posts on. That's how I'm writing this post. And it's all part of the wonderful web of Doctor Who, that enables me to listen to (and conceivably record) podKasts with a K, send blog posts, view any Doctor Who website I care to on my Windows Mobile phone courtesy of the Opera browser, receive blog posts and news via a handy RSS reader and listen to Doctor Who audio adventures, view videos and even record footage of conventions and other wonderful Whoey stuff. How the hell did we ever get by before all of this? When I was a wee lad, it was all Doctor Who Weekly and Target novelisations, perhaps a vinyl audio adventure starring Tom Baker is you were lucky! We have it luxurious these days, nothing like the age of transistor radios, televisions that had to "warm up", telephone boxes costing 2p and computers that took up entire rooms... in come cases buildings. The world is marching on, and technologically speaking we're light years ahead of the mid 1990s... so it's a massive relief to see that while older, equally successful shows as Doctor Who are struggling to remain relevant or attract new fans that the Doctor is still with us, fighting injustice with the power of intelligence and ingenuity. He's gadget-mad, has the greatest vehicle in fiction and stands up for all that is right, true, and often the underdog. Did I mention I have a new phone...?

News: David Tennant Decides? Posted: 08 Sep 2008 02:52 AM CDT The biggest Doctor Who news, according to the press reports today, is that David Tennant will be on board for the Steven Moffat era. Again, there's no solid announcement from the BBC, who just love to keep us guessing (and I suspect various BBC publicity and scheduling people are dying to know, not to mention Character Options, the toy license holders) but a new series in 2010 with David Tennant remaining in the role would be a fantastic development. "David loves filming Doctor Who...
