A Doctor Who Theory: the Eye of Harmony, Black Holes, Parallel Universes...

Alright, here's the deal. /pulls out brainy specs/ I'm slowly but surely making my way through Old Who episodes, and I'm finishing up the Deadly Assassin, the story with Four between Sarah Jane and Leela, on Gallifrey. Paused in the middle of it, actually.

So partially, I'm just enjoying the episode. The other part of me is considering the ramifications of the Eye of Harmony, Rassilon, and all that joyful lore we get in this episode. And then Four comes out with this quote:

"[The Sash of Rassilon] protects its wearer from being sucked into a parallel universe!" 

Does this imply that being sucked into a parallel universe and being sucked into a black hole is the same thing? This is my mind, boggled. THIS IS CANON.

I'm asking anybody reading this for their opinion. I've only seen two seasons of Old Who so far (started with Four's first episode, and am running from there) and so I don't know how well this fits in. I would love to hear if anybody else has speculation on this, or to discuss it, or see if anybody can find other quotes and episodes that contradict or support my theories.

(And perhaps if I'm very, very lucky and work with it, I can pull a delightfully plausible reunion fic out of this! /grins/ All in the name of fanfic and Doctor/Rose... Course, if you want to just discuss it without Doctor/Rose focus, fine too... I'm curious.)

All my musings are below the cut. They're long, cumbersome, confusing, and in my opinion slightly brilliant. Read if you dare.

So... thoughts, anyone?

Turn Left Rant

I'm very, very sorry, but this is on my mind right now and it's ANNOYING ME VERY MUCH and if I don't scream it at SOMEBODY (in this case, the entire internet will do) I'll end up screaming it vocally which, at 11:49 at night, is not a good idea.

WHEN THE DOCTOR DIED IN TURN LEFT'S ALTERNATE UNIVERSE, UNIT THEORIZED THAT HE WAS SIMPLY KILLED TOO QUICKLY FOR HIM TO REGENERATE. THAT IS NOT WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED. WHAT HAPPENED WAS, HE WENT TOO FAR IN THE ONCOMING STORM THING, AND DROWNED HIMSELF, THEN CHOSE, LIKE THE MASTER DID IN S3, NOT TO REGENERATE. YES, THIS IS NOT CONFIRMED, BUT FOR GOODNESS SAKE'S PEOPLE, IT MAKES 100X MORE SENSE THAN DYING TOO QUICKLY DOES, CONSIDERING HE'D JUST LOST ROSE TYLER, THE ONE PERSON WHO HAD MADE HIM WANT TO LIVE AGAIN AFTER THE TIME WAR. AS HE SAW IT, HE HAD NOTHING LEFT TO LIVE FOR. THIS, COMBINED WITH THE FACT THAT TEN WAS RIDICULOUSLY HUMAN EMOTIONALLY SPEAKING, MADE HIM QUITE NEARLY SUICIDAL AT THAT TIME. HE EFFECTIVELY KILLED HIMSELF, TAKING THE RACNOSS WITH HIM. THIS IS, AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, A FACT, SO WILL PEOPLE PLEASE STOP BEING IDIOTS OVER THIS AND JUST ACCEPT IT AS FACT AS WELL!

If you choose to believe otherwise, that's okay. Ignore my rant. I'm sorry, I just REALLY needed to say that, regardless of veracity, or the fact that I have no right to impose that belief upon others. Venting. Smerfledunk.
