I hope I haven't accidentally discovered one of the Ghostbusters shared universe films!

The Doctor's knowledge wouldn't help him there, and the TARDIS might not even work properly (cf. Rise of the Cybermen). He'd have trouble just finding out where he is and what's happening, never mind finding a way to return in time to stop Missy/Davros/whoever's evil plan in the season finale.”

Surely that would make the problem worse, not better? Unless you show the Doctor completely helpless and failing in this other reality (X-Space?) then you just end up with a Doctor that is triumphant in not just our universe, but all possible universes - he becomes even more godlike than ever.

But surely the point is the Doctor IS a God? Maybe not to his race but to us, he is. I would also say that to us, he's also a 'superhero'. The Doctor is essentially like a time travelling Thor, only with a Sonic Screwdriver instead of the mighty hammer Mjornir.

Wasn't that a film with George Clooney?

Lighten Up, Light Me Up! (I've wanted to say that since I first saw your username

).

I love these surreal threads.

Ha! If it makes you feel any better I'm a miserable cow both on and off the forums

I should embrace it a bit more. Without threads like these the forum would just be swamped with endless CE speculation and wondering if Clara is pregnant or not.

Dear god you're right I need to lighten up!

It's Mjolnir.
And no, he isn't.

(EDIT: No, wait... god of thunder... the Oncoming Storm. OK, you win.)

Quite emphatically no.

The whole point is he isn't and should never let himself get caught up in that feeling. Remember Waters of Mars? Timelord Victorius? Very definitely not a god, and dangerous if he lets himself believe he is.

What? Yes. Something measurable

No, You seem forward.

In the spirit of 'lightening up' I'm just going to chuckle and move on

The new series needs a distinct lack of Norris ChinaTown.

Sandy's nice. She's never horrible, just a bit off the wall. Really.

And please don't take me seriously. My lighten up thing was a joke - be as miserable as you like.

Clara and The Doctor could play Tardis hopskotch instead.
