A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

They're referring to Doctor Who, a fictional "time lord" who used many theoretical lifetimes to bash a hole in an impenetrable wall, dying many times over (not a big issue for him), if I recall correctly.

That must have been the old Doctor Who, because I don't remember seeing an episode like that.

But that's a very Doctor Who style plot line lol

In fact it was "Heaven Sent" Peter Capaldi. Series 9, episode 11. 28 November 2015.

Ah, that would explain it. I checked out once Capaldi joined.

He really grew on me over time.

I'm rewatching it again, this time with my girlfriend because she hasn't seen it yet. We're currently 3/4 of the way through Matt Smith's doctor.

So maybe this time he will grow on me.

Excellent. Enjoy.
