Jamie came up with “Doctor John Smith” on a whim and The Doctor has just rolled with it ever since

I absolutely adore that for them

I love how classic who fans are like "omg these guys are my adorable little blorbos, I love them so much" and then show you some pictures of the most horrifically goofy-looking creatures imaginable

I'm not saying that it's at all a bad thing or that I'm any different of course, these guys are my adorable little blorbos and I love them so much

watching The Wheel In Space and having feelings about the Doctor and Jamie’s low standards for a safe place to live. Jamie’s worried about Victoria and the Doctor reminds him that she’s living in a time with “very few wars, great prosperity”… that’s all it takes. Not even no wars! Just very few! That’s already something! They’re both explicitly or implicitly fleeing something, and the only home they do have—the TARDIS—is malfunctioning… I mean being the Doctor and Jamie they cope with this by hanging out in an empty rocket and eating their food, but still.

Doctor Who: Cybermat

Favourite Episode: The Tomb of the Cybermen

Home Planet: Mondas

Scary Factor: 0/10

My Personal Rating: 8/10 They're so goofy looking, I love them, the earlier they're shown in the series the more I love them.

(Please don't take these too seriously, it's just a bit of fun)

SUSAN: “I can't, Mister Chesterton. You can't simply work on three of the dimensions.”

IAN: “Three of them? Oh, time being the fourth dimension, I suppose? Then what do you need E for? What do you make the fifth dimension?”

SUSAN: “Space.”

“DOCTOR: Yes, the planet Quinnis, of the fourth universe.”

VICKI: “Time [fourth dimension], like space [fifth dimension], though a dimension in itself, has dimensions of its own.”

THE RILLS: “Though we are beings of separate planets, you from the solar system and we from another space, our ways of thought, at times, do not seem all that different.”

MALPHA: “Suppose they send a message through this universe?”

[...]

MALPHA: “This is indeed an historic moment in the history of the universe. We six from the outer galaxies, joining with the power from the solar system, the Daleks!”

Revisiting this post of mine after rewatching Galaxy 4 and fixating on the Rills’ phrasing a little. Playing with the Hartnell era’s outdated (often intentionally) or kitschy, already rusted “space-age” approach to cosmology.

The outdated way of viewing galaxies as “island universes,” the idea of “galaxy” and “universe” being interchangeable terms. “Space” as something just as surreal, strange, as “Time,” with multiple dimensions of its own. The reverberation, the haunted humming, of evil and machine monsters tapping into a sort’ve “cosmic unreality.” The night sky endless “island universes” drifting past, beside, and through each other. Different galaxies, sure, but evidently equal as different dimensions, entirely different definitions of “space” and “universe.” Different properties. Dreamlike. Child’s logic.

And this approach to space sort’ve slips away textually with Troughton, replaced with the eerie, spooky sense of vast space, of whole worlds and universes hidden in the folds of humming velvet black, but it still... I dunno.
