Great moments: The Doctor's girlfriend scoffing at the idea of a BLACK doctor!

The kid Lattimer communing with the fob watch.

The headmaster demanding to know what's going on, before he metes out punishment.

The great Scarecrow Massacre.

The alien occupied girl vaporizing the headmaster, and everyone retreating.

Lattimer showing the girl the watch, when tells the aliens everything they need to know.

The aliens scanning everyone for the fob watch.

The Doctor (John Smith) not wanting to return to being a Time Lord and thus giving up his Earth love.

Lattimer returning the fob watch, and the Doctor/John Smith angsting over having to give up his humanity to save the world from the Family of Blood.


The flash forwards of the human Doctor's life as a human.

The Doctor bringing the fob watch to the aliens, and setting their ship to explode.

The Doctor wrapping Dad in dwarf star alloy chain, dumping Mom in a black hole, trapping Sister in a mirror, and turning the narrator in a scarecrow. But what if Sister finds a way to escape from the wold's mirrors?

John Smith's girlfriend refusing to become the Doctor's Companion. She doesn't think that a relationship with such a long lived man would work out, since she's like a mayfly to him. Such considerations would seem to be part of why the Doctor doesn't want to get involved with Martha.

The Family of Blooders clearly have advanced temporal technology, since the Doctor was unable to evade them by TARDIS. How is it that they don't also possess life prolongation technology (They only live 3 months!).

Professor Yana had a fob watch just like that the Doctor used to store himself! Martha thinks that its the very same watch! (How would the Master have obtained the watch the Doctor gave to Tim Latimer?).

When Yana opens it, he becomes the Master!

A literary device. Some can work better on TV than in books - asides and
flashbacks, for example. The fob watch, however, is a McGuffin, not a
literary device. It isn't an allusion or a metaphor - it might have been a
Chekhov's gun, in season terms, but it's one that was already fired in
Family of Blood. It would only have been a true Chekhov's gun if its
purpose had been exposited but the watch not used prior to "Utopia".

Yads got 2 things wrong. First off is that a fob is not a literary device.
It's a MacGuffin. Second is that the story was not written by RTD. It was
written by Paul Cornell, who himself would have drawn inspiration from other
New Adventure authors such as Lawrence Miles, and all of whom would have
been influenced by other fiction.

Acyrologia - an incorrect use of words, particulately replacing one word
with another word that sounds similar but has a diffident meaning, possibly
fuelled by a deep-seeded desire to sound more educated, witch results in an
attempt to pawn off an incorrect word in place of a correct one. In
academia, such flaunting of common social morays is seen as almost sorted
and might result in the offender becoming a piranha, in the Monday world,
after all is set and done, such a miner era will often leave normal people
unphased. This is just as well sense people of that elk are unlikely to tow
the line irregardless of any attempt to better educate them. A small
percentage, however, suffer from severe acyrologiaphobia, and it is their
upmost desire to see English used properly. Exposure may cause them symptoms
that may resemble post-dramatic stress disorder and, eventually, descend
into whole-scale outrage as they go star-craving mad. Eventually, they will
succumb to the stings and arrows of such a barrage, and suffer a complete
metal breakdown, leaving them curled up in the feeble position.

A "literary device" is a trick of language employed by a writer. Allusions,
asides, footnotes, allegories, flashbacks, cliffhangers, use of exotic
points of view - these are literary devices. Some feed on well into visual
media, others don't. Still others have originated in TV and movies and now
are found in books - such as the jump cut (where a character has a line of
dialogue and then the scene switches and another character, having a
different conversation, seems to reply to the first).

Literary devices are NOT OBJECTS. They are an arty way of conveying ideas.
They are not guns, or fob watches, or TARDISes. These are not literary
devices. They are actual devices.

At the end, the Doctor wraps the father of the Family of Blood in Dwarf Star Alloy. The son indicates that this is part of the Doctor's plan to punish all Family members with immortality. How do Dwarf Star Alloy chains make the father immortal?

The Doctor dumps Mom into a black hole. How does that make her immortal? From her point of view, she would die in seconds!

Real world answer:
From an observer's point of view she would be immortal, since those seconds
would stretch for an eternity.

Whoniverse answer:
Omega didn't die in seconds.

Tim Lattimir had snatched the Doctor's fob watch, which gave him a future vision of him looking at that watch on a battlefield and dodging an incoming shell. The Doctor lets Tim keep the watch after he (the Doctor) is restored to normal. Later during WWI, Tim looks at the watch, states the time, and dodges the shell. Was that the ONLY time Tim's life was in danger during the entire war?

Maybe, in general, but in *this* specific instance, Tim gave two
possibilities ....

1. Is the boy in all scarecrows universe-wide,

or

2. (Is the boy in) just Earth's scarecrows.

Now, admittedly Point 2 is a sub-set of Point 1 (so Point 1 includes
Point 2) but if the boy was only in scarecrows *just* on Earth (Point 2
correct), Point 1 is not correct!

So "Yes" *is not* the correct answer.

How can blood scent be smelled in the vacuum of outer space, let alone in the Time Vortex?

How can the Blooders even sniff in the vacuum of space without suffocating?

But how can they smell ANYTHING without any air to carry the scent molecules?
