Line 38:
** The [[Big Finish Doctor Who]] audio ''The Boy That Time Forgot'', debatable canon aside, cranks it up quite a few notches, especially when we learn the true nature of {{spoiler|how he survived ''Earthshock'': The Doctor's subconscious guilt had taken over during block transfer computations, creating an alternate universe for the freighter to crash in harmlessly, leaving our young Alzarian all alone in a jungle world without humanoid contact for ''500 years''}} and eventually turning him into a crazed insect-king abomination in time obsessed with revenge and just wanted someone to love him again. Oh, ''Adric...''
** In the end, the worst part is ultimately the fact that you can't take Adric in your arms and tell him everything's going to be okay...[[Doctor Who/Recap/S19/E06 Earthshock|because it won't be.]]
* Rory's also a case of going from a [[Butt Monkey]] to a Woobie. The first time we see him, he's just Amy's (pathetic) male friend (the one the Doctor identifies as not being the "good-looking one"), who seems to be an [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]], perpetually bound to come in second to the Doctor. Amy leaves him on her wedding night to go travel the universe with the Doctor. When they finally pick Rory up to go along with them, he ends up basically being the [[Butt Monkey]] for all of his first episode. By [[Doctor Who/Recap/S31/E07
** There's [http://doctorwhotv.co.uk/the-killing-game-19667.htm a tweet out there] where a fan asked Moffat if he was going to kill Rory once every season.
