Me, really not understanding why people don't like the Long Game: It's got the best example of both the worst of humanity and the best in Adam and Cathica, it's got a great first example in New Who of one of my favorite tropes "this timeline is really not where it's supposed to be at, let's go investigate," it's literally the Doctor and Rose solving a mystery together, it's got a great cheesy, bad-CGI villain that skewers Capitalism like all the best episodes do, it's got amazing NineRose chemistry/moments, it introduces Satellite Five (which might just be my bias coming in, but three of my favorite episodes of all time-The Long Game, Bad Wolf, the Part of the Ways) all take place on Satellite Five, so it gives me nostalgia), it has Simon Pegg chewing the scenery, it reinforces why the Rose/Nine dynamic works, and have I mentioned that I love Cathica with all my heart? Anyway, in this essay I will-

In 200,100 AD the human race should be in its 4th Great and Glorious Empire, but in an alternate timeline it is being artificially held back. The time traveling alien known as the Doctor (Doctor 9) and his companions Rose Tyler and alien ex-time agent Captain Jack Harkness discover that the answer may be found on Satellite five, which now provides what appears to be lethal game shows for Earth. There is a hidden alien race with plans of conquest behind all this and the Doctor and his companions may not survive to stop them. ("Bad Wolf"/"Parting of Ways" Doctor Who, TV)

Face of Boe

Hold up, if Jack Harkness is the face of boe then.... was it mentioned truly that he was pregnant in that episode in the first season (2005 version) of Doctor Who with satellite five and Adam getting that forehead procedure thing done? It was the first time the Doctor and Rose went to satellite five. Is this a real thing or am I mixing Fanon and canon again? Because if it was then I would just like to say I just realized this...

While on the Game Station (formerly known as Satellite Five), the Doctor encountered the Controller, a blind, cybernetic woman who monitored all transmissions which flowed through her via fibre optic cable (Bad Wolf, 2005).
