8th Doctor Cesspool

Lawrence Miles, 1999

(Same as the last book, this one is split in two. However, the chapters pick up where the last book left off for both parts; the first chapter of the book is fourteen, and so on. If the chapter number is suddenly lower than the previous one on the list, just assume we’re on part two again.)

Injury Tally:

Chapter seventeen

Once more, the guards have returned to give the Doctor a beating, using electroshock batons and kicking at his chest, “trying to rupture his lungs”.

Chapter twenty

The Doctor describes the guards running the batons down his spine, and feeling as though he was going to die—until he’s rescued, flees into the TARDIS, takes off, and promptly passes out

Paul Magrs & Jeremy Hoad, 1999

Injury Tally:

Chapter four

The obverse-Doctor has a “funny turn” while at a lunch with Sally, feeling a sudden pain in his left leg and passing out briefly. When he wakes, it’s numb from the knee down

Chapter eighteen

Just after it’s accomplished its purpose, the Doctor’s new doodad explodes and scorches his hands a bit

Chapter twenty five

Caught in the wake of an assault on the glass city, the Doctor is covered from head to toe in cuts from broken glass

Chapter twenty six

The obverse-Doctor’s leg continues to worsen, painful and swollen, and he describes feeling something moving inside; a parasite, growing, nestling

Chapter thirty three

A Bright Blue Baby grabs the Doctor by the (left) leg, and he feels its left a mark

Chapter forty one

The obverse-Doctor continues to experience pains in his leg

Chapter forty three

Eighth Doctor being half human? He just lied to the Master about that and perpetuates the lie because he can, but in particularly self-superior moments, he is DEFINITELY NOT part human.

Only 13 lives? Both the Doctor and The Master were severely misinformed and very annoyed/relieved when they learned that was simply not true (maybe the other Time Lords are laughing at these two bonkers idiots about it. Also, I'm still working my way through Old Who and I dont know if the limitation on regeneration is mentioned prior. The headcanon still stands.)

Did the master turn to slime, posses some random guy, and get eaten by the TARDIS? Yes. But he got better.

The Doctor can manifest Jelly Babies anywhere and everywhere via Transmigration.

The Doctor literally does keep a spare key on top of the the sign of the TARDIS "above the P" but sometimes he forgets

The Regeneration was weird and more body-horror esque because of the American healthcare system (I refuse to blame Grace Holloway who was called in on her day off and misinformed by the other staff)

In my heart, everything in this movie is canon no exceptions.

There are 73 books, and that’s only counting the EDAs. To start with I’d recommend the second book in the series, Vampire Science, it’s one of the best DW books ever written and the first one is kind of weird in the way it barely introduce the companion. Personally my first book was Alien Bodies and that’s an experience I hold very dear. But in general I’d say the essential books would be those written by Lawrence Miles, Kate Orman, Jaqueline Rayner and Paul Magrs. There are a lot of other great books but they tend to write the most popular ones.
