The TARDIS - Meridian - J.D. Coughlan
Panel 1: Long panel, extreme wide shot of the TARDIS in the Time Vortex. It is just barely visible, so small. At either end of the Vortex is an explosion hurtling towards the middle, where the TARDIS is. Both look like fiery meteors about to smash the little blue box.
DOCTOR (CAP): "Okay, so we're at the precise middle of time, exactly halfway between the Big Bang and the Heat Death, and the Universe is having a mid-life crisis."
Panel 2: The TARDIS Control Room (current version). The Doctor (11th) frantically works the controls, while pointing at the viewscreen depicting Panel 1 to a worried Clara.
DOCTOR: Someone has activated an energy magnet in the Vortex that is attracting those two points together through time -- the two most powerful energy outputs in history -- and if they collide at this perfect halfway moment, the shockwave will reverberate backwards and forwards in time equally, destroying everything that ever was or will be!
Panel 3: On Clara, panicked, as the Doctor continues working controls.
CLARA: Well, what are you gonna do?
DOCTOR: Me? Nothing.
Panel 4: Same as Panel 1, but now the energy explosions are closer to the TARDIS.
DOCTOR: It's up to the TARDIS now.
DOCTOR: She needs to reverse the polarity... of the Universe!

Wow! Awesome stakes indeed... even though you picked Dr#11, I found myself envisioning it with Tom Baker, madly dashing about with his scarf trailing behind him. This may be the true Who genius - it doesn't matter which doctor, it is the myriad ways the doctor, and his writers, utilize the improbable features of the Tardis to push the limits of speculative fiction.
ReplyDeleteBesides, yours has such a grand pulpy feel, I got a bit nostalgic for good old fashioned sci-fi peril. Good show.
