Loves and stratagems

The Domino Effect

arcadiaego:

So there I was, happily polishing off the few remaining EDAs I’ve never read when holy crap why did no one tell me this was going to emotionally destroy me? (And I’m only 2/3 of the way through.)

Ahh, The Domino Effect is so painful! The Turing bits are lovely, though (in a ‘my-heart-is-bleeding’ way). The Doctor’s reactions might be the saddest bits, but some of the Tower conversations… Ouch. (I also really like the dystopian parallel reality. It’s not that well-written, but I think it’s underrated.)

I saw a post about Who today where someone was arguing that something was ‘non-canon’ and I was tempted to call upon the powers of the canon police who’d come screaming in and point out that there is no canon.

But then I wondered why would you have a police force to defend something that doesn’t exist and I had a revelation: Faction Paradox are the canon police because if there’s anyone, anywhere in the multiverse for who the job of ‘defending the non-existence of a concept’ is a job description, it’s them. Isn’t it?

So remember, the next time you assert that Doctor Who has a canon, Faction Paradox will issue a stern warning about your behaviour to your grandfather.
