Trivia and In-Jokes
About the Story:
While re-watching Four’s final episode, “Logopolis”, it had me thinking that
the Watcher, as the eventual Fifth Doctor, could also be the part of the Doctor
that was in love with AL. Thus, I decided to write out a bit of “Logopolis” (and
“Castrovalva” as it turned out…well, post-“Castrovalva” at any rate) in AL’s
point of view as to illustrate this.
Story:
All things were taken from “Logopolis” and “Castrovalva”. I just embellished
a little for AL’s part.
The telepathy: This is something that my friend Ashley had happen in a story she wrote in which her character, Stella, met AL. In the story, AL and the Fifth Doctor speak telepathically more often than they do aloud and I thought it was a cool thing to do, so I made it part of AL’s canon.
The catastrophe about to be unleashed was of such a scale that it distorted the structure of time itself and caused a version of me to be overlaid on my present.: This is taken near word-for-word from the production notes on the “Logopolis” DVD.
It wasn’t the first time another version of the Doctor had come to help in times of grave emergencies.: The first time (but certainly not the last) this happened was Jon Pertwee’s “The Three Doctors”.
