I could apologize, but it would be terribly insincere.

Guys! Guys! [livejournal.com profile] trollopfop wrote me that fic that I've been wanting for ages. The one in which Sam is the Master and Gene is the Doctor. And there's even hints of Alex!Rani. *Purrs* This makes many things better. Who needs alcohol when there can be sketch? You should totally read it.

Also. Jack could totally reach the top of the police box sign, for the purposes of pulling a key out of a cubbyhole. Yes? No? Am I completely out of my mind?

I have, actually, seen the TV movie. I have a mad love for Paul McGann, even if the movie is pure CRACK.

My logic is that it's roughly 8 feet to the top of the sign. Jack's a little over 6 feet tall, and the average distance from a person's nose to their fingertips is a yard. He might have to stand on the little ledge by the base and stretch, but I think he could reach. On top of which, the TARDIS used (http://www.relative-dimensions.net/Police%20Box/images/tardis-new%20with%20doctor%20and%20romana.jpg) to be (http://www.doctorwho-devious.com/doctorwho-devious_images/jonptardis006.jpg) shorter (http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/39405000/jpg/_39405202_tardis203.jpg), as far as I can tell, so who knows what the actual dimensions are? (Possibly the dimensions change slightly every time it rematerializes - slight fluctuations in the chameleon circuit? Yeah, coming up with logical reasons for why things happen in Doctor Who is probably a bad idea.)

I think people who do not love the McGann have no soul. Hate the movie, fine, but not MCGANN! ;_; I <3 him. He was almost my first Doctor, so he is my squishy Doctor. (The Doctor I remember first is actually Three, but I was really little; Eight is the one I actually paid attention to, way back in...what, '96? Christ, I feel old now...)

It's decent logic, I think, but for some reason the picture put me off. And like you say, logic + Who = UNIVERSE IMPLOSIONS, so you could likely as not get away with it. And maybe the TARDIS would help by conveniently getting smaller as Jack gets taller. Or something. RELATIVITY: NOT JUST FOR SCIENTISTS! It's also for kinky DW fanfic. Apparently (http://mercurial-wit.livejournal.com/34639.html). [shifty eyes] (Not that that one was kinky, per se, but I love the geekery in it. And Jack. I miss Jack/Rose/Nine = TEAM TARDIS. Sigh. And that picture you posted brings it back. ;_;)
