lokiwholockfactory:rockinspired:lokiwholockfactory:gallifrey-feels:knitmeapony:dreaminpng:allonnziii:kellanium:#probably the best explanation of a device in the tv historyThis is literally my fourth or fifth time reblogging this.It’s still hillarious.One of my favorite linesI kinda feel like the writers wrote this line specifically to drive the kind of fans who want to figure out how sci-fi tech would theoretically work crazy. They’re like “nope! We’re not going to give you any techno babble to tear apart or investigate or mull over to tell us how we’re doing it wrong, or how it compares in effectiveness to similar tech in other franchises.”I also feel like this is one of those times when the TARDIS’s translation circuit just gave the fuck up. Like the ‘physics physics physics’ scene, where he is imparting secrets of the universe and the TARDIS is like THERE ARE NO WORDS FOR THIS IN ENGLISH DAMN IT DOCTOR OH HELL FUCK IT.OH MY GODS she TOTALLY edits his speech. I be he actually swears a fuckton but the TARDIS is like THERE ARE CHILDRENI’M LAUGHING FOR LIKE 5 DAYS OMFG STOPomfg its backI like to imagine the doctor is saying something along the lines of “This is my [word that means a very complicated octonion algebra operator and references the conserved quantity related to its symmetry] detector. It goes ‘ding’ when [abstract metric related to the non-linear distortion of some matrix which would take about seven pages of math to qualify] exceeds a certain threshold.” And the TARDIS just doesn’t even fucking try. -- source link
