The OG Wu-can't-make-tea truther

Ella Fitzgerald and Marilyn Monroe at the Tiffany Club (1954)

From a 9th century Irish manuscript, the phrase ‘massive hangover’ (Latheirt) written in the ancient Irish text Ogham. The monk must have been having a very rough day…..

>Among the characters there are one or two White characters with minor and/or distinctly antagonistic roles.

the daleks' master plan: twelve episodes long, mostly missing, graphically kills off three of its four companions and once again is twelve episodes long

the space pirates: six episodes long, almost entirely missing, replete with bad american accent, and mostly agreed to be incredibly boring

so vile a sin: a vna infamous for being published after the seventh doctor run of vnas ended and also killing off a main character :)

the taint: a middle of the road eda that no one would care about but for the fact that it introduced fitz

campaign: a book that was originally supposed to be a past doctor adventure, but ended up being self published due to being completely insane. notorious for being an absolute mindfuck, and also not technically canon even by doctor who standards

test of nerve: not even part of doctor who the show about the doctor; it's part three of the first series of an obscure audio spinoff about a former companion that ends on a cliffhanger that as of 2025 has been unresolved for 19 years. it is also completely insane

this town will never let us go: a perfectly functional standalone novel which is only tangentially related to doctor who at all

a blind eye: also part of an audio spinoff, but boy are you going to be missing some context if you go into this one without starting from the start of gallifrey!

children of earth: five hours of a tv spinoff's grim political commentary which kills off a main character midway through

heaven sent: genuinely fantastic television, but also the second part of a loose trilogy of stories and much better when watched with, like, any idea at all of what doctor who is

the metaphysical engine, or what quill did: good television but once again it's a spinoff and as with everything else on this list it's not the first episode of anything and you're going to be missing a ton of context

Fires of Pompeii-> the romans : this is genuinely how I experienced the romans for the first time just trust me on this one

The arc of infinity-> the reality war :also how I experienced the reality war. Uhhh they both have omega...... sort of. Idk if you want to get Actual Whiplash you should do the three doctors-> the reality war

The claws of axos-> the sound of drums : Really Fucking Funny. "remember the axons?"

The war games-> full circle -> hell bent : "they'll forget me, won't they?" "You can't fight time lords, Romana." "You did, once." "Mmm. And lost." "Get off my planet."

Inferno-> the end of the world :the doctor DEFINITELY doesn't have issues no sir nuh uh. No issues here

Lucky day-> doctor who and the silurians : joke addition do NOT watch lucky day/j(sort of.) Idk man it's just polar opposite portrayals of UNIT (and the Brigadier by extension) in the shows history

Robot -> logopolis: I need you to understand how fucking insane it was that Tom Baker was on the show for seven entire years.

Kerblam! ->the sun makers : listen man it's just Really Fucking Funny

Silence in the library/forest of the dead -> mawdryn undead : this is just sort of a narrative thing? Won't make sense unless you already know all there is to know about River Song and Turlough

Planet of fire-> the mark of the rani : back to back this is the story of how the master was shrunk, then left to burn alive by his ex, mysteriously survived, then started pretending to be a scarecrow for no discernable reason

Deep breath-> the twin dilemma :also a narrative thing? But also I want to experience the Best post regen episode and Worst post regen episode back to back

The talons of weng chiang-> spyfall :until I saw the talons of weng chiang I thought nothing could be more racist than spyfall. and I was right nothing is more racist than spyfall. But the talons of weng chiang came pretty damn close.

Fires of Pompeii -> The romans

The arc of infinity -> the reality war. This actually is how I experienced the reality war.

The claws of axos -> the sound of drums

The war games -> full circle -> hell bent if you want to have actual brain damage.

Inferno -> the end of the world

Lucky day -> doctor who and the silurians

Robot -> logopolis

Kerblam! -> the sun makers

Silence in the library/ forest of the dead-> mawdryn undead

Planet of fire -> the mark of the rani

Deep breath -> the twin dilemma
