I watched the seasons in reverse. So I started at season 10 watched in order and then went to season 9. And so on.
This is why I really want streaming services to offer user-curated playlists.
One of the biggest perks of pirating junk. I know some services allow its users to create and post collections. It’s fun to find a movie you like and see what user collections that movie was in.
I imagine the final episode would have to be Utopia, which essentially takes place after the heat death of the universe. That’s a bit of a bummer for an ending though lol.
decade-old spoiler warning:
they also restart the entire universe like a recalcitrant lawn mower several times, which really fucks the timeline.
Is the The Girl Who Died set in Vikings times (700 AD) actually after the Van Gogh episode (1890 AD) because the universe the Vikings exist in is newer than the one van gogh is in, which was destroyed?
Also old spoiler warning
There’s also that episode where 12 is
spoiler
trapped in a castle for about 4 billion years
so you’d presumably have to watch that a few seconds at a time, interspersed with hundreds of years of other adventures.
It’s a Dr Who supercut.
Does it make any sense or, you know, work?
Where would The Runaway Bride go? It’s set in 2006, but they also travel to shortly before Earth is formed.
Also, what about episodes that are set outside of time or entirely within the TARDIS (e.g. Time Crash)? Or when all of time sort of happens at once (e.g. The Big Bang, The Wedding of River Song)?
What about false realities (e.g. Amy’s Choice, Extremis)? Bubble universes (e.g. The Doctor’s Wife, Hide)?
And then there’s the matter of the Doctor and River. Do we go in the Doctor’s order, or in River’s order?
What about cliffhangers and cyclic stories?
Absolutely I’d do this, but I’d need a very large corkboard and about a mile of red yarn to figure out the order.
How about City of Death, which takes place in 1980s Paris, Renaissance Italy, and billions of years ago when life on Earth began. Where do you put that in the chronology?
(Answer: You watch this episode first regardless because Douglas Adams wrote it.)
Edit: Technically a bunch of other times too because you get glimpses of other fractured selves of Scaroth from other points in human history.
You would need to start on the middle of the episode where they are at the start of the world and go from there. Can’t do episode by episode but could scene by scene
There’s a marvel fan edit like that, pretty wild watch as it jumps from one movie to the other…
And what might that be called if it were to be found?
