Don’t know about thirsty… but I’m so hungry I could eat a horse crocodile!

Okay, so…

I don’t really believe in time travel, but if I say so, the Doctor will prove me wrong by taking me to the past.

So I might as well wait for that right away.

Come on now, make these “choices” a bit less obvious, please.

I can’t wait to be killed and scolded by Colin for making the wrong choice <3

This reminds me how my dad kept trying to convince me ATM stood for automatic time machine as a kid

I’ve said on a few occasions that it’s probably a good thing I’m not a dad because of all the baloney I would have probably told the kid(s).

I’m voting for the first option, because even if I wasn’t as into Doctor Who, my child self still wanted to believe in time travel (and other speculative fiction means of traveling). [1]


  1. Even nowadays, if my brother or one of my close friends told me they were stuck in a time loop and needed help getting out, my first instinct would be to believe them, not shutting them down by saying that time loops don’t exist. I’m not gullible, but I still hold out some small sliver of hope left over from childhood that timey-wimey weirdness is real, but I disgress. ↩︎

The Coldest War - Page 97

You excitedly ask the Doctor about time travel, saying you’re more interested in history than dinosaurs. He’s pleased and gives you the sonic screwdriver, explaining it’s a versatile tool for the TARDIS. After some quick repairs, the Doctor asks if you’re ready for a trip through time.

You must choose:

  • Say yes (go to page 9)
  • Hesitate (go to page 40)

I’m a creature of infinite power here to cause mayhem.

I’m not going to hesitate (also because it would definitely be pointless).

You sll forget one very important thing that definitely requires our attention.

We haven’t had a glass of water yet.

That’s what we need to do next.
