::: And as for the way the story's told, that could be taken as a stylistic choice - an attempt ''is'' made to form some kind of coherent ''Doctor Who'' story, and if it's meant to just be examples of "what you could do in your own world", well, that could easily apply to ''[[Supergirl Meets E.T. (webcast)|Supergirl Meets E.T.]]'' but for [[Wikipedia:Brickfilm|brickfilms]] (albeit with edits adding animated [[Face|faces]]). Overall, I don't believe this story actually does anything to fall afoul of [[T:VALID|our rules for validity]], and authorial intent is ''very'' difficult to gauge in anything outside [[Doctor Who|the main show]] and [[Doctor Who spin-offs|spin-offs]], but I ''could'' be missing something in the rules.

::::If this is a "coherent" narrative, well, this notion of "coherent" is certainly the most dadaist one I've ever heard of. The Master enters and promptly exits a room that happens to have nether brick and a pressure plate, while Twelve enters a structure that also has nether brick and walks through a door into a pit/portal ''without any justification for why he would go in there or any reason for why the Master thought he would go in there or any linking together of these two events''. (I note that the pressure plate is not obviously connected in any way to the end portal or the door Twelve enters. This is just a thing.) The Doctors then team up to kill an endangered species because why not (:>) - no justification is given, and Doctors appear throughout this segment distinct from the ones we first see. Sure, the Doctor goes back to a village, turns around and sees some confession priests, and then Amy and Rory go inside a house where a Weeping Angel moves to cut them off rather than just touch them. Sure, I'm not sure these two sections constitute a coherent narrative amongst each other, let alone with the larger story, but I'll grant that in their own right they're vaguely narrative and coherent for sake of argument. But then we completely jump to a different scene with Ice Warriors disconnected from anything else, and then we forget all about them to talk about Daleks. And somehow Clara, Rory, and Amy met up? Every single plot point ''aside'' from Clara being separated from the Doctor and the End detour is unresolved. (Not that this disqualifies something from being a story, but it should give us pause.) We don't even know why Rory and Amy join up with Twelve. Every single enemy is disconnected from the larger plot and story except perhaps the End Dragon. Like. I struggle to see the justification for seeing this as narrative that isn't just one big application of the Kuleshov effect.
