Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Ensemble Darkhorse: Despite only being in two serials, Omega has his own tag on the Blog for a reason.
  • Ho Yay: Again, if it happens, it will be pointed out. Litefoot and Jago from "The Talons of Weng-Chiang" are an interesting example of characters that Hannah found slash-able but would not ship herself.
  • Rescued from the Scrappy Heap:
    • Peri, during "The Twin Dilemma". Hannah repeatedly appreciates her frequent What The Hell Hero's after finding her annoying and mostly useless in "The Caves of Androzani".
    • After the disaster that was "The Twin Dilemma". it took the combined forces of "Vengeance on Varos" and "The Mark of the Rani" for Six to be properly accepted by her.
  • Shipping:
    • Two/Jamie
    • Four/Romana II
    • Adric/Nyssa (Speculated in "Black Orchid," but didn't go full on until she listened to The Boy That Time Forgot.)
    • Three/Jo ("The Green Death" commentary notes that they would make a cute couple "if it wasn't for the age difference.")
    • Master/Rani ("The Mark of the Rani". That is all.)
  • What Do You Mean It's for Kids?: The religious genocide themes of "The Massacre of St. Bartholomew's Eve" and pretty much everything about Sharaz Jek in "The Caves of Androzani" were noted as...unexpected, to say the least.
  • The Woobie:
    • Hannah is One Of Those Fans who would like to give Adric a hug and a cookie (well, okay, maybe after one smack...)
    • Especially after "Castrovalva." Poor kid...
    • And Tegan in the aftermath of "Snakedance."
