Shows from the 60s/70s will always consist of the main characters going through the most insane, life-changing, traumatising experience and then having a shot of them all laughing together at the end and proceeding to never speak of it ever again

I love random shows from the sixties/ seventies I only know because my parents like them, you guys know nothing of The Time Tunnel, you've never even sat through an entire episode of Randall And Hopkirk (Deceased), do you even watch Rising Damp? Didn't think so

#the yapper yaps #they're surprisingly really entertaining #like the time tunnel is just #oh no we got sucked into a time machine and we keep getting thrown into different historical events #and it always ends with the scientists nearly getting them back #and them immedietly getting thrown into the cold war or something having just witnessed Columbus land in america #and when I say only I know #know that is slightly exaggerated for effect #the time tunnel #randall and hopkirk deceased #rising damp

This may throw people for a loop, but I think this is the closest to having a crossover between Doctor Who, and another series I’ve enjoyed.

What if Clara’s Trip into the Doctor’s Timeline was like Quantum Leap?

I know that sounds bugnuts, but at least hear me out before you start pulling the pitchforks and 16th-Century Flame Torches.

If anyone has watched Quantum Leap before know the premise, so you may skip this part if you’re familiar:

In Short: A human earth-bound physicist worked on a project back in the 80s that’s name changed after the events, but once it started, Project: Quantum Leap was born. Dr. Samuel Beckett (1953- ???) had a theory involving quantum physics and time travel, believing that one could time travel within their own lifetime.

He would be the first (Earth) Time Traveler to succeed where others might have failed (like Project: Tic-Toc in the 1960s [See: The Time Tunnel]). And it would work due to the sheer time and effort. However, the government doesn’t want tests, they want results, or they’ll pull funding. By that time, Dr. Beckett consults his close friend Al Calavichi, a Admiral who fought in Vietnam and went M.I.A, due to events that happened during that time (captured, but still alive).

So, pressured to lose funding, Dr. Beckett prematurely stepped into the quantum accelerator, and vanished… into the past.

It worked, but he suffered from partial amnesia (The Swiss-Cheese Effect, as some have called the condition) and he faced mirror images that were not his own. However, Dr. Beckett had help from his friend Al, where he made contact with him as a neurological hologram. Sam continues to travel within his own lifetime (and a bit before thanks to his family tree) where he puts things right that once were wrong.

Dr. Beckett hasn’t been seen since 1998 and the project probably closed down in 2001.

Later, Quantum Leap would be restarted thanks to the efforts of Dr. Ben Song in 2022/23? (Basically they continued the series, claiming it was to continue where the series last left off)

Anyways, that’s the basic premise of the series, Quantum Leap

I’m giving the same warning, If anyone has watched Doctor Who before, know the premise, so you may skip this part if you’re familiar:

In Short: The premise follows The Doctor, an ancient alien who travels in spacetime, disguised as a Police Box front the 1960s (when it isn’t an actual Police Box). The Doctor is part of a race called Gallifreyian (though that’s technically) and they’re titled as Time Lord, as they have mastery over time and space. This race of beings can outlive humans, some going as far as live to be thousands of years old. The Doctor’s vehicle, dubbed TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimension in Space) allows him to travel far distances in space-time.

Most of the time, he fixes things with a sonic screwdriver (a handy tool for the traveling madman), and sometimes he doesn’t. He has different faces across all of his life, as one of the things that gives the Time Lords and Ladys their longevity, is the ability to regenerate from injury and/or near death. When they die, or come close to it, their bodies can burn and rebuild every cell in their bodies (which includes the cells that makes up the shape and structure of their bodies).

Doctor Who has been active since 1963, and took a break in 1989, with a brief movie in 1995.

So, what’s the theory?

What if Clara was leaping into the lives of the Doctor’s companions, putting things right that were wrong by the Collective Intelligence, who went back in time to cause havoc in all of The Doctor’s regenerations?

It would be interesting since the whole idea was that Clara was like that way (from previous episodes, “Asylum of the Daleks”, and “The Snowmen”) where she ends up traveling through time, similar to the Quantum Accelerator that Dr. Beckett used.

At least, that’s my theory and idea, and it would explain why some companions do what they do.

#doctor who #quantum leap #clara is basically doing a similar job to sam beckett #dr. sam beckett #clara oswald oswin #the doctor #reference #the time tunnel #reference to the time tunnel #fan theory #better than whatever mattpatt could come up with #time travel

The Time Tunnel | one gifset per episode | 1x25 “The Death Merchant”

With no shortage of Civil War poetry, literature, history, and pop culture to compete with, Bob and Wanda Duncan add their own twist by bringing Machiavelli and his dog, transported to the future by a time distortion.

I think - maybe - the conceit that Doug and Tony get drafted into opposing sides of the conflict, based on nothing but who threw a uniform at them first, might be a commentary on something. Machiavelli’s almost sexual delight in gunpowder might also be a commentary on something. That’s all I’ve got.

The Duncans have two plot devices: amnesia/brainwashing and The Boys are Fightinggg. God bless them.

I might not care for this ep. And it might be two years later. But the task is one gifset per episode and thanks for your patience.

Things to Enjoy

Doug’s little bromance with the Union major. It ends too soon. You get the impression that Doug likes it when a rugged handsome guy starts giving him orders. Then Machiavelli shoots him. Doug gently fingers his perforated lung, but it does no good. :(

Doug spends most of the ep in the awkward position of trying to keep Tony alive while Tony’s trying to kill him. It’s not played for angst (that’d be too character-driven. this is a running and jumping show) but there’s a moment of something when Doug says he’s Tony’s only link to the future. As we’ll see next ep, Tony cares less and less about that as these adventures wear on.

Machiavelli is Malachi Throne, which is a great name, and I like his cape.

I suppose Tony deciding to join the Confederates because they killed a young man right in front of him is the sort of impulsive thing he would do. He’ll do a lot when his anger gets the best of him.

Does he even know they are the Confederacy? What that means? It’s not clear. Doug doesn’t mention it. Hey bud, how’s that war in defence of slavery going?

This isn’t unique to Bob and Wanda Duncan by any means! The Civil War has been divorced from its material (political and economic) causes and mythologized to fill the emotional needs of the American people, and I don’t mean that in a complimentary way. viz. Shenandoah with James Stewart, where the war is a completely personal undertaking, as if the Civil War was just another paroxysm of American individualism and not the same old story of capital exploiting human beings.
