 >Me Three! > # >(or perhaps a repost is in order?) @ >---------------------------------------------------------------   	Doctor and the Tardis - I  ? 	Many noadies have been writing some interesting plot lines for @ 	the alleged Dr. Who movie.  I am enjoying them, especially the @ 	multiple-regeneration scenarios.  Apologies for not including aA 	list of the contributors here.  You know who you are.  Keep 'em   	coming!  @ 	However, It's not necessary to kill the doctor off in order to @ 	have multiple regenerations of himself in the same story.  It'sB 	possible that various regenerations could help each other without@ 	interacting directly as in 'T5D' or 'T3D'.  For instance, isn'tD 	there some old Tom Baker episode, in which the Doctor either throwsC 	or drops a large sword into E-space?  He shrugs and says something C 	like, 'I'll have to go and get that later..."  Then, fifteen years A 	later, Sylvester McCoy is in Ragnarock, and guess what he needs? ? 	Guess what he gets?  The sword, having been tossed to him by a  	previous regeneration.   C 	I am imagining a story which ties up some loose ends, as in " what E 	happened to Doctor #N between story X and story Z ?"  This will give E 	us a chance to see some earlier Doctors reprise some earlier roles,  F 	as they travel through time to the same general area.  Although theirE 	respective companions may occasionally see two doctors at once ( for @ 	instance: One in the Tardis, and one on the viewscreen.  Or, a A 	companion with doctor N+1 finds an article which she lost while  C 	trailing around behind Doctor N; the article is not old or soiled, D 	so that she knows that it was lost 'recently' at those coordinates,C 	and that the previous Doctor is still 'nearby', although years may C 	have passed on her own personal timeline ), the Doctors themselves = 	refuse to interact directly, as they now see that they were  C 	brainwashed and reprogrammed directly by the High Council at every A 	previous nexus wherein they ( the Doctors ) had interacted with   	themselves.  C 	For instance, Sarah Jane sees Pertwee in some grave danger from a  C 	previous episode ( preferably a cliffhanger ) on the monitor while F 	she is inside of the Tardis with Baker.  She says, " Oh, look Doctor!A 	It's you with those [antagonists].  We've got to help him!"  To  F 	which TB replies angrily, through clenched teeth, "Never again will IE 	be a shill to the Timelords.  I've finally figured out what they did E 	to me.  Turn off that monitor, I won't even look at it!  Oh, here we E 	are, I know where we are going now.  Prepare for dematerialization!" B 	As the Tardis begins to move, Sarah opens the door and throws out$ 	a hank of rope to the other Doctor.  D 	Which helps.  The Doctor(s) come to realize that they must interactE 	in order to survive.  But they must not interact if they are to have G 	any free will whatsoever.  Plot evolves as Doctor(s) send companion(s) F 	to help other Doctor(s), while trying to stay just around the corner,C 	so close and yet so far.  An easy win partway through the story is G 	foiled as a companion with the EASY ANSWER fades from existence due to D 	the ripple effect, just as he approaches Doctor #N with the ANSWER.  H 	Various companions come and go into various Tardii with various DoctorsH 	rather like one of those 'people sneaking across the hallway' routines.? 	Will they all get back to their normal coordinates?  Will any  B 	companions meet themselves and be destroyed?  Will the spacetime 5 	pattern be completed?  Will the Doctor ever be free?    	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-  G 	There are also some rumors that Bill & Ted are making a sequel.  Seems E 	to me that they will have to go back in time and take care of a few  G 	things, like leaving some Keys for themselves and throwing a trash can C 	over the chief of police.  They haven't done that stuff yet, have  G 	they?  How long can they exist in their present state if some critical ; 	interactions from their past have not necessarily ocurred?    	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-   				-mak
