      where does that hand land? Then when does it officially becomes the Metacrisis... and when HE touches grass?

    • @LisaBeta-42

      3 is a cheat: the clock was running before you even saw the actor - at 5 sec. there is only one hand and his nose visible: 3 seconds left to hit the ground - but being unconscious, it probably should NOT be counted as touching grass (being "embraced by" heather, more likely). Then his weelchair turns over on a patch of grass - so coming into contact with the greenery was not of his own free will. And touching the leaves of the tree, gets him shot by Unit-soldiers: whatever the Time Lords had intended - it did not go well with that doctor.

    In honour of Michael Jayston, I shall confirm that even the Valeyard has touched grass.
    While I don't know the exact timing (maybe one day I'll get round to it if I'm bored) The Valeyard touches grass in The Trail of a Time Lord: Part Fourteen, when he's teleporting around and lands directly on the one patch of grass on the Matrix beach.
    If anyone wants to get the exact time themselves, you have to time EVERY courtroom scene (regardless of whether the Valeyard is onscreen or not cos he's still in the room) up until Part Thirteen, when he runs into the Matrix. If you want to count him laughing maniacally and his voice over, then go ahead. Then in Part Fourteen when he's teleporting around until he hits the patch of grass 😅

    • @LisaBeta-42
      @LisaBeta-42 Před 4 měsíci +3

      Matrix grass counts as much as dream-state grass - but is is only the word of the master, that makes the Valeyard a "direct" incarnation of our Doctor(s) - there is the parallel world option or some more "bi-generation" buisiness to get to all the different versions of the Doctor (or the other titles, this immortal being may have used at any given time)
