Amused me too much not to share . . .

I'm currently in the process of rewatching seasons 7-9, and I just watched Time of the Doctor last night. And it occurred to me for the first time to wonder what the conversation was on the other side of the crack that lead to the Time Lords sending the Doctor a nice regeneration booster pack. Because while we're all distracted by Clara sprinkling magic, Moff-y fairy dust all over everything, the Time Lords are looking for the Doctor to give his name as definitive proof of who he is and, therefore, that they've got the right universe. So it has to have gone something like this:


[plucky earth girl comes along and delivers a teary, idealistic speech about how wonderful the Doctor is]

Time Lords: Christ. Yeah, yeah, it's him. Sodding . . . why did we want to get back to this universe again? Just do something, make her shut up already. Tell the bridge to turn the planet around. We've got the right place; find us another way in. I can't deal with this today . . .



It's like in End of Time how someone mentions the Enmity of Ages and everybody just knows that means the Doctor and the Master.

Acceptable proofs of identity and address at the Gallifreyan DMV:

1) government-issued ID
2) real name
3) annoyingly idealistic earth girl vouched for you

I can totally hear The General saying this, with his face in his hands

[promethia_tenk]

Right? I'm still giggling.

[masakochan]

Pfffft. I can definitely see this having happened. xD

[promethia_tenk]

I'm felling rather a lot for the Gallifreyan high command right now.

"Oooh we found him... shit, we found him."

[promethia_tenk]

*snort* Yup, exactly.

As far as I can tell, the #1 argument for bringing the Time Lords back to the show is the comedic value.
