Where would The Runaway Bride go? It’s set in 2006, but they also travel to shortly before Earth is formed.
Also, what about episodes that are set outside of time or entirely within the TARDIS (e.g. Time Crash)? Or when all of time sort of happens at once (e.g. The Big Bang, The Wedding of River Song)?
What about false realities (e.g. Amy’s Choice, Extremis)? Bubble universes (e.g. The Doctor’s Wife, Hide)?
And then there’s the matter of the Doctor and River. Do we go in the Doctor’s order, or in River’s order?
What about cliffhangers and cyclic stories?
Absolutely I’d do this, but I’d need a very large corkboard and about a mile of red yarn to figure out the order.
You would need to start on the middle of the episode where they are at the start of the world and go from there. Can’t do episode by episode but could scene by scene
There’s a marvel fan edit like that, pretty wild watch as it jumps from one movie to the other…
And what might that be called if it were to be found?
Some of your questions can be answered when the episodes are split which would make the idea even more crazy
skip them all, there’s too many anyway
If I’m skipping any, it’ll just be Love & Monsters (a bit rubbish), The Angels Take Manhattan (too sad; can’t watch that one again), and a few (but certainly not all) of Chris Chibnall’s episodes (e.g. The Tsuranga Conundrum; I didn’t enjoy them that much).
Other than that, I’ll take the lot. I might even throw in the Sarah Jane Adventures, Torchwood, Class, the BBV Productions movies, and those spin-off movies starring Peter Cushing, for good measure.
Stitch runaway bride, what about castrovalva?
Programmer solution:
Each episode is defined by the earliest point they travel to, excluding that episode’s “present”.
Jam all edge cases at Epoch (1970) or the present if you prefer (2024). Sort these by order of release.
Push to production.
I like it!
How about City of Death, which takes place in 1980s Paris, Renaissance Italy, and billions of years ago when life on Earth began. Where do you put that in the chronology?
(Answer: You watch this episode first regardless because Douglas Adams wrote it.)
Edit: Technically a bunch of other times too because you get glimpses of other fractured selves of Scaroth from other points in human history.
I imagine the final episode would have to be Utopia, which essentially takes place after the heat death of the universe. That’s a bit of a bummer for an ending though lol.
decade-old spoiler warning:
they also restart the entire universe like a recalcitrant lawn mower several times, which really fucks the timeline.
Is the The Girl Who Died set in Vikings times (700 AD) actually after the Van Gogh episode (1890 AD) because the universe the Vikings exist in is newer than the one van gogh is in, which was destroyed?
Also old spoiler warning
There’s also that episode where 12 is
spoiler
trapped in a castle for about 4 billion years
so you’d presumably have to watch that a few seconds at a time, interspersed with hundreds of years of other adventures.
It’s a Dr Who supercut.
This is why I really want streaming services to offer user-curated playlists.
One of the biggest perks of pirating junk. I know some services allow its users to create and post collections. It’s fun to find a movie you like and see what user collections that movie was in.
I love the fan edits like Naruto Kai that cuts out all the filler and recaps and junk
That’s another good point. The last one I used had the LoTR cast commentary audio files as options. I was able to req one piece dubbed and the dude who ran it spent like three months adding the dub versions for a show I never got around to watching lol
Also older videos you can’t really find legally online
I went and watched the old first Mutual of Omaha videos and they’re pretty strange. Think it was the first episode that starts with the host, a monkey, and an owl greeting you. The monkey starts swatting at the owl and then the owl freaks out. Older videos are so great because they keep the weirdest shit in that would’ve been cut today
Another Mutual of Omaha video I remember had the crew lassoing a bear from a canoe because idk conservation
That must be the shortest playlist.
I was thinking about how I miss a good old broadcast with a presenter or VJ to talk to you about what’s on in between showings.
Disney+ actually does this to a degree. There’s several categories including chronographically for MCU and Star Wars. But it’s limited to whole movies and shows, not per episodes or part of episodes like how you can intercut between Clone Wars S7E9-12 and EpIII.
Yeah, during Halloween or Christmas they’ll make those lists and hide them inside the search page. I used it to watch every Treehouse of Horror last year
Unless the series was over, it’d be impossible to watch them in that order.
Imagine if they release a new episode where they visit a certain point in history. Would you have to watch all of the episodes chronologically after that one again?
The only plotline I can think of that will actually make more sense, watched this way, is the Doctor’s relationship with the Queen of England.
Is there an actual list that has them in chronological order? Or at least the closest you can get to it.
Hi Rin
Hi Rin
I’m a huge sci fi fan, I love Star Wars, Trek, Gate, just about any sci fi movie, etc. I have never been able to get into Dr Who but the rabid fan base makes me feel like I’m missing out. Not sure what it is about the show but I just don’t get it, I guess.
To be fair the first season when it returned with rose is just alright and I almost dropped it as well. The next doctor Tenant really did the role justice and peaked the show for many of us.
So if I started with the Tenant seasons would I even know what’s going on?
Start with Blink. It’s a very famous and popular episode with Tenant and it’s basically a standalone. It’s an especially good entry point as the Doctor is barely in it.
You might get lost a bit with some story threads. If you really have no intention on watching the previous doctor I would watch a season recap video online. That way you’re familiar with the important bits of lore and story lines and whose who but it shouldn’t be too bad. They don’t really delve too much into all the old doctors lores and stories, and when they do they refresh your memory, so at most it’s one season of stuff before tenants.
Appreciate the tip, I think I’ll give it another go at some point!
Noobie question. What’s that screenshot from? What social media / website?
Tumblr, I think
a site best enjoyed from a distance
