#sabalom glitz

I love writers trying to explain why Mel left with Glitz because it's such a weird narrative choice that any explanation usually becomes either "Mel is a deeply deranged person" or "the Seventh Doctor is a bastard" and both are very fun.

Headcanon. I think that after Ace told the Doctor about her first encounter with a certain Sabalom Glitz… let’s just say that he dropped off Ace one time and then went back in time and space to found both Mel and Sabalom and told him exactly what he thought about this encounter….with Mel screaming at him for being an awful human being and he cowering before a wrathful Doctor who is giving him a death glare…

The Trial of a Time Lord: The Ultimate Foe Episode 1 Screencaps, Part 4

“Nowhere to go but onwards.”

Dragonfire - season 24 - 1987

Hey y'all I am like increasingly sure that Mephistopheles Arkadian was Sabalom Glitz in the first draft.

My evidence:

the two have the same personality: smug, charming, and a laundry list of actually horrifying crimes

their names follow the same basic structure

they both are involved with black light energy converters

Arkadian has knowledge of Time Lords which lines up with Glitz's appearance in The Ultimate Foe

Relatedly, Glitz's appearance in The Ultimate Foe puts him in a position where it makes sense for Gallifrey to draw him (given that they pulled Darkel from the same story as a major character)

I may add to this as we go on, all of this is just from the first half of Weapon of Choice

I thought it was funny. I drew this after i finished up another piece that ill post later.

5thdoctor: what happened to your face?

5th doctor: did you do that?

Peri: I did not do that.

Mel: then who did?

Glitz: ya, who?
