Huh, I've never seen that episode--the one where the Master hypnotizes Jo, that is; of course I've seen this one. Perhaps if he'd said "UNlike hypnosis. . . . "?

If I were any good with this I'd string together the following three lines (I'm paraphrasing because I don't remember them verbatim):

Valeyard: "The Doctor is guilty of the greatest crime of our society--genocide!"

Judge at the War Lords' trial: "We will place the entire War Lord race in a time loop. . . "

@aperson22222 For the record, the serial is "Terror of the Autons."

@Rmlohner The Second Doctor threw a bit of a fit--though he had legitimate grievances, since he was being executed essentially for NOT letting the Cybermen and Daleks give it up the ass to everyone else. 3, 4, 5, and 9 made heroic farewell speeches (which is how I prefer it, even if they do get a little purple) while 1, 6, and 7 just went quietly. I like regeneration episodes.

@poparena Ah, the very first appearance by the Master! That's close to the top of the next serial I'm going to watch. I feel like I've done the 80s episodes to death, so I was planning on getting some more Pertwee; I feel like he's the Doctor whose run I've explored the least.

@aperson22222 And it gets a lot worse when you consider that none of the EIGHT previous Doctors that we'd seen regenerate made it into such a whiny emo bitchfest. And I like to think Eight didn't either.

[aperson22222]

Time Lord who sent the Doctor to Skaro to interfere in the Daleks' origin story: "If neither of these options is possible, you should destroy all the Daleks."

Tempting to add "For Galifrey, for victory, for the end of time itself!" on as well, but I guess it's not fair to call something an incontinuity when it predates the story it contradicts.

[aperson22222]

@Rmlohner I had gotten pretty fed up with him from that boring-ass Titanic episode on, but I thought he rallied to give us a top-notch regeneration episode. Then I rewatched it a few weeks ago. I still thought it was good but a lot didn't hold up. "I don't wanna go!" is NOT the line with which you close a 75-minute story which has as its central them how to die well.

When you've been going as long as Doctor Who, it's impossible to be completely spot on with continuity. Nice skit though, looking forward to seeing more.

Post Skit Follow Up: I give this skit... a yawn/10

Everybody dies! Just this once! EVERYBODY DIES!
