why did the Doctor choose the face of Lobus Caecilius




in the fires of Pompeii the doctor meets Lobus Caecilius



CAECILIUS: Who are you?


DOCTOR: I am Spartacus.


DONNA: And so am I. CAECILIUS: Mister and Mrs Spartacus.


DOCTOR: Oh no, no, no. We're not, we're not married.


DONNA: We're not together.


CAECILIUS: Oh, then brother and sister? Yes, of course. You look very much alike.



then after saving him from the volcano at Christmas 2013 the time of the doctor he regenerates into Lobus face then in series 8 episode 1 Deep Breath he starts wondering why he choose this face




DOCTOR:Er, have you seen this face before?


BARNEY: No.


DOCTOR: Are you sure?


BARNEY: Sir, I have never seen that face.


DOCTOR: It's funny, because I'm sure that I have. You know, I never know where the faces come from. They just pop up. Zap. Faces like this one. Come on, look at it, have a look, come on, look, look, look. (The Doctor pulls Barney over to look in the mirror on the ground.)


DOCTOR: Look, it's covered in lines. But I didn't do the frowning. Who frowned me this face? Do you ever look in the mirror and think I've seen that face before?


BARNEY: Yes.


DOCTOR: Really? When?


BARNEY: Well, every time I look in the mirror.



DOCTOR: Oh, yes, yes, yes. Fair enough. Good point. My face is fresh on, though.


BARNEY: Er (Barney moves away from the nutter in the nightshirt.)


DOCTOR: Why this one? Why did I choose this face? It's like I'm trying to tell myself something. Like I'm trying to make a point. But what is so important that I can't just tell myself what I'm thinking?



then in series 9 episode 5 The Girl Who Died he starts to realize why he choose this face



DOCTOR:I'm not supposed to. Oh. Oh! (He looks at his reflection in the water and sees what he saw in the mirror back in Deep Breath.)


CLARA: What? What's wrong?


DOCTOR: My face.


DOCTOR [memory]: Who frowned me this face? Why this one? Why did I choose this face?



CLARA: Doctor, what's wrong with your face?


DOCTOR: I think I know why I chose it.


DOCTOR [memory]: It's like I'm trying to tell myself something.


DOCTOR: I think I know what I'm trying to say.


DONNA [memory]: (to Doctor 10) Just someone. Not the whole town. Just save someone.


DOCTOR 10 [memory]: Come with me. (A memory of Lobus Caecilus cowering as Vesuvius erupts in Fires of Pompeii. Played by Peter Capaldi, if you'd forgotten.)


DOCTOR: I know where I got this face, and I know what it's for.


CLARA: Okay, what's it for?


DOCTOR: To remind me. To hold me to the mark. I'm the Doctor, and I save people. (He shouts at the sky - the Time Lords.)


DOCTOR: And if anyone happens to be listening, and you've got any kind of a problem with that, to hell with you!




which made me think why did the Doctor choose the face of Lobus Caecilius? was it like reminder to save people what was it

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

harry potter - How could Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra?

I want to be very careful about how I ask this question – I am not asking How did Voldemort die? [CLOSED] Below the text is the relevant passages from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows if anyone wants to review them (I'm sorry for the amount of text). How did Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra and kill Voldemort? I feel the reason Harry's Expelliarmus overpowered Voldemort's Avada Kedavra curse has to do with who was master of the Elder Wand and how the Elder Wand works. I've always had trouble understanding fully how the Elder Wand works, though. How much did the fact that Voldemort never truly won or mastered the Elder Wand factor into how Expelliarmus reacted to Avada Kedavra and caused Avada Kedavra to rebound and kill Voldemort? An answer based in book canon would be especially welcome, but any canon source really is fine. Harry heard the high voice shriek as he, too, yelled his best hope to the heavens, pointing Draco’s wand: ‘ Avada Kedavra !’ ‘ Expelliarmus !...

Is there good canon evidence for the "Nightmare Matrix"?

On the Matrix wiki, there's an article about the Nightmare Matrix which says: The Nightmare Matrix was the second prototype Matrix, designed by The Architect after the massive failure of the Paradise Matrix in the hope that human minds would more readily accept an imperfect world with suffering. Unlike the first version, this Matrix instituted a basic cause-and-effect programming and forcibly made those connected to it accept the program. Vamp Prime, a possible remnant of the Nightmare Matrix. It also featured programs that resembled mythical evil creatures in various human mythologies such as vampires, werewolves, zombies, aliens, etc. It also failed, but many of the programs who were designed for it survived deletion in exile. The Merovingian and his wife, Persephone may have had their roots in this version of the Matrix. Upon its failure, the Merovingian started a smuggling ring of programs and information to provide a haven for exiles that would last for 6 cycles in the final ...

story identification - Anime with a boy hiring a creature from a stone, meets a man named Dante and starts a journey to collect crystals

I am from India, this anime or animated series (I can't remember this was made by the Japan or other countries) was aired between 2009 and 2012 probably in Jetix/Disney XD (but I'm not sure). This anime starts with a boy (the main character, I forgot his name) who find a stone (or crystal like thing) in his dad's property, his dad was missing that time. Some day he accidentally hire a creature/monster from that stone. Other day some creature attack him and he was saved by his creature and the story begins. In his journey to solve the mystery he meets a middle aged man 'Dante' (probably that was the name; this is the only character name I can remember). He had also some stone. After that they meet with one girl and a women (one of the girls is same age with the main boy character and probably will become his partner as the story goes on). Another women probably Dante's partner. Four of them started their journey to collect all the stone/crystal. They are collecti...
