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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  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.
