Doctor Who Drabble: Spooked

[bk_forever]

Title: Spooked
Author: badly_knitted
Characters: Tenth Doctor.
Rating: G
Written For: Challenge 088: Spook at dw100.
Spoilers: Silence In The Library
Summary: There are few things that can spook the Doctor.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Doctor Who, or the characters.




The Doctor has seen all manner of strange beings in his travels, from bizarre but harmless creatures to implacable enemies. He’s borne witness to war and plague and natural disaster, and while he’s never been left unmoved by the things he’s seen, both good and bad, he’s seldom been spooked.


Daleks are his greatest foes, Cybermen aren’t far behind, but while he fears what they might do, he’s not afraid of them. In their way, they’re understandable and can be fought.


The Vashta Nerada are a different matter entirely; not even the Doctor can fight shadows. He can only run.

That was one of the creepiest episodes of the show I have ever seen.

Great drabble.

Same here, I guess that's why I wrote two drabbles for it!

Thank you!

I love books, but the Vashta Nerada is creepy.

But creepy follows the Doctor everywhere,

He should be used to it, but even for someone who's been everywhere twice, I suppose there has to be something that makes him nervous and that he can't do anything about.

Thank you!

The universe is so huge.

When one has time ans space to travel, there will still be scary stuff out there.

Re: I love Janto

[bk_forever]

Yeah, there's so much out there, it's not all going to be good, or bad, there'll be a bit of everything.

So much to see, and all that time to fill.

No reason to ever be bored, if you think about it. There's always more to see.

He loves the running.

[bk_forever]

Yeah, I think he'd complain if there was no reason to run!

Thank you!

He probably has a list of pet peeves.

The Doctor is known for his running and hand holding.

I liked how the Ninth Doctor ran. No surprising Christopher Eccleston was a regular marathon runner.

Tom cruise has a thing about sprinting.

I miss being able to run without taking deep breaths afterwards.

[bk_forever]

I miss being able to run a few steps without my hips saying NO!

I didn't know Eccleston ran marathons! He was a good runner as the Doctor though. It's no good casting someone as the Doctor who can't run, because these days there's always running involved.

I hear ya. For me, its my feet. They get sore after walking too long.:(

The Doctor is energetic and Peter Capaldi is doing fine.

The second Doctor seemed to be more faster on his feet than the first Doctor. I'm sure that was because of William Hartnell's real life serious health issues that forced him to leave the role.

[bk_forever]

Yeah, physically Hartnell wasn't up to too much. He made a great first Doctor though. I think he was the Doctor before his first regeneration, so he was supposed to be in an elderly body. That would make sense anyway.

I have arthritis in my toes. Some days they crackle painfully as I walk. =(

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

According to the documentary, he was reluctant to play the Doctor but eventually cherished the role. The Doctor wasn't suppose to regenerate.

I wish I could make your arthritis go away.*hugs you*

[bk_forever]

Thank you *hugs*

Yeah, I saw that documentary, it was fascinating. I think the whole regeneration idea was a stroke of genius when they came yup with it so that the show could continue with another actor.
