the rest of RtD1 will be in the next day or two. I fundamentally disagree with some of Scrooge's comments though, and think that if people agree with them that's something to be done on the level of publishing these and then editing them.

If you're completely new to the show, and you really want a recap of the entire plot of the modern series up until the latest episodes, this is the place for you! It's probably not the optimal route to experience the franchise, as it's greatly simplifying a ton of context, and at times outright slightly misrepresenting what happens in a story because the actual plot is a little too complicated to explain in a few sentences. But if you don't have the time or inclination to watch the entire show, or would prefer to get your background knowledge through text, this can be a substitute. We also have a list of the plot relevant episodes for each season, so you can sort of speedrun your way through the new series if you would like. Or you can mix and match, watch some seasons if you vibe with them, and read about others if you don't. It's all up to you. Whatever you decide, we're really happy you're thinking about watching Doctor Who and joining the community. | If you're completely new to the show, and you really want a recap of the entire plot of the modern series up until the latest episodes, this is the place for you!

[Write summaries for | The new series begins with a girl from modern day London, 2005, [[Rose Tyler]], played by [[Billie Piper]], encountering a mysterious man who insists on calling himself [[The Doctor]] during strange events taking place around her work. This man, portrayed by [[Christopher Eccleston]], at first refuses to talk to her, but she insists on becoming involved, and ends up being helpful. As such, he offers her the trip of a lifetime, all of time and space. His ship, the [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] is a blue police box that's larger on the inside than the outside, and takes them back to Victorian London and to the destruction of the Earth. As they travel, Rose finds out that The Doctor is a survivor of [[Last Great Time War|a massive war]], the last of his race, the [[Time Lord]]s. Eventually they come to confront a surviving remnant of the other party in the war - a lone [[Dalek]], a race of xenocidal mutants in miniature tanks, imprisoned by a mad businessman in 2012. The Dalek manages to stir out of its complacency upon meeting its mortal foe once more, before ultimately self destructing, after becoming tainted by some of Rose's DNA. All of this is ultimately a prelude, however, to a reborn empire of Daleks that the pair stumble upon in the far future, manipulating the development of the human race. The Doctor, fearing for Rose, sends her and the TARDIS back to modern London as he rigs up a system to wipe out all life in the solar system. Rose refuses to accept this, and tries again and again to figure out a way back, before ultimately gazing deep into the inner workings of the TARDIS. Time energy flows through her, and she returns, disintegrating all of the Daleks with a thought. The Doctor, however, knows that she'll burn herself out, and draws the power out of her with a kiss. He says his goodbyes, energy flows from him, and in his place stands a [[Tenth Doctor|new man]], played by [[David Tennant]], who identifies himself as The Doctor. | ||
Rose and this new Doctor crash back on modern day Earth on Christmas, as an invasion happens. Rose wrestles with the idea that this is The Doctor, and as The Doctor is recuperating from [[Regeneration|the change]], he isn't able to help her through the transition. Ultimately, however, he manages to come to in the brink of time, and challenges the leader of the aliens to single combat, ultimately winning, though getting his hand chopped off and regrowing it in the process. | |||
[Write summaries for S2-S4] (tbh, I don't think Mickey or Jack are plot relevant at all - Journey's End sorta just needs the idea of people that are impacted by The Doctor, I see no need to mention them.) | |||
After regenerating into The [[Eleventh Doctor]], played by [[Matt Smith]], our Time Lord protagonist meets his newest companion, [[Amy Pond]], during her childhood and helps her solve a problem, a crack in her house, a tear in time and space. He tries a short hop into the future - but finds himself flung years further than he thought, and reunites with Amy, played by [[Karen Gillan]]. The two travel on a few minor adventures, encountering [[River Song]] yet again, as more of these cracks in the universe menace them - even erasing a horde of [[Weeping Angel]]s from ever existing. Amy's fiancé [[Rory Williams]], played by [[Arthur Darvill]], joins the group, before eventually becoming erased by a crack - Amy forgetting all about him. As The Doctor attempts to prevent the opening of a prison spoken in legend, the [[Pandorica]], it becomes clear that the setup is a trap, the opening was timed to lure The Doctor so that he could be imprisoned. While he's in the Pandorica, his TARDIS explodes, creating the cracks in time, wiping out most of the universe. The Doctor escapes from the Pandorica, and uses the fragments of information stored within it to reboot the entire universe, using his exploding TARDIS as a power source, before showing up in this newly rebooted universe on Amy and Rory's wedding day. | After regenerating into The [[Eleventh Doctor]], played by [[Matt Smith]], our Time Lord protagonist meets his newest companion, [[Amy Pond]], during her childhood and helps her solve a problem, a crack in her house, a tear in time and space.
