I just realized the gag is an oversized bit. Brilliant xD

They do, interestingly enough. It’s an odd combination. But honestly, we’ve never seen Crimson Changeling eggs, and I find changelings reverse engineering pods more realistic than Twilight using the goop in that weird, inconsistent random way (not as a mesh, or regular support beams).

I think something reverse-engineered would be a bit more orderly, though. Like the goop material holding that one against the wall - it should be a net, or regularly spaced pylons. As it is, though, it’s haphazardly sprayed over it - markedly biological.

This conversation between you two almost makes me wanna watch Doctor Who but from what I have seen of about… 6 episodes? They were ridiculously boring, his character made no sense and the episodes had nothing going for them.
 
When does this sparing whole race business happens? That seems so much different from what I have seen. Like, on entirely different level.

I don’t really watch or follow Dr. Who, so my understanding of it or related things is very limited.
 
It’s why I prefer if Dr. Whooves/Time Turning remains his own character instead of a character I know little of.

No he didn’t have people attack her physically, just torpedo her career, a career he himself said would have led to a golden age for the UK, all because he was pissed at her attitudes towards planetary defense…something she’d be proven right about several times over in days to come. Unlike here, where it’s hard to see how the Doctor ending Twi’s reign could be anything but good for Equestria.
 
Also note that he only said ‘To end the reign of Twilight’ here, he doesn’t actually say they need to kill her. Even the prophecy doesn’t actually say anything about her dying, only that she will ‘not outlive her friends.’ Given that when it comes to prophecies, multiple meanings is VERY much a thing. ‘Twilight will not outlive her friends’ could mean any number of things. In fact, given what she’s become, you could even argue that the prophecy has already come true, since the Twilight they knew certainly seems to be dead and gone figuratively, if not physically. You nay-sayers are jumping to the same conclusion that the characters themselves are: that they need to kill Twilight. But when prophecy is in play, nothing is actually certain.

Again, he didn’t try to get family members or friends to attack Jones or harm her in response to this. And there’s also the detail that the immediate aftermath of this play was Britain being taken over by the Master, something the Doctor would probably like to avoid happening twice.

Manipulating people isn’t how this Doctor runs. The SEVENTH Doctor operates like this, but even he wouldn’t try to get five innocent people to murder their best friend to make his job easier; that’s too simple for him and against his better nature besides. The TENTH Doctor only ever brought people along in unique situations that forced his hand, and he tended to not want people around him because he only brought them misery. This is the LAST thing he would do.

That’s because the Doctor learned his lesson. XD But hell, that even proves my point further, as he doesn’t actively promote their well being despite them being necessary in formation; hell, he certainly wasn’t afraid to wipe them all from every timeline.
 
One other thing that confuses me about all this is why the TENTH Doctor, of all people, brought along the Mane Six for this. Manipulating people isn’t how this Doctor runs. The SEVENTH Doctor operates like this, but even he wouldn’t try to get five innocent people to murder their best friend to make his job easier; that’s too simple for him and against his better nature besides.

And then he didn’t, or at least he gave a really good try of not sparing them at the end of the time war. And it’s worth noting that he’s almost always tried to wipe them out, or cause them to be wiped out, on nearly every meeting before and since.
 
AND it should be noted, that the only reason he spared them on that occasion, was because of what the consequences of erasing them from the timeline would be. So you could practically argue that the creation of the Daleks is itself, a fixed event.

I mentioned the Fixed Points, yes, which is a bullshit concept for him anyway. You’ll also note that in NONE of those stories was he happy about doing that, nor did he go out of his way to make it happen with the express purpose of doing so. The dialogue here implies he KNEW about this outcome, and went along with their request just to facilitate it. Again, this is something the fucking Gallifreyans would do, and the Doctor has never willingly facilitated it unless he had no other choice.
 
It’s also worth noting that, in canon, actual Fixed Points are relatively rare, and if the Doctor can avoid exterminating an enemy, he tends to do so. Just look at the Fourth. The dude literally spared THE ENTIRE DALEK RACE.

It’s a bit of an acquired taste, I’ll admit, one I have to wonder how much Gashi has for himself. It’s definitely not on the level of Babylon 5, for example. XD
 
Yeaaaaaah, this story is no exception. I guarantee he’s gonna be the one to kill Twilight, just to fulfill Gashi’s twin motivators of his hatred for Twilight and his love for the Doctor.

…isn’t the Doctor well known for not sticking to prophesied events?
 
I take it you’ve never watched ANY of the episodes dealing with fixed points in time? In just about all of them, he’s either had to end up causing the event itself (Fires of Pompeii), or at the least, subvert it so that history at least thinks what was supposed to have happened, happened (The Impossible Astronaut/The Wedding of River Song). The one time he tried to go directly against a fixed point, it ended up ending rather tragically (Waters of Mars). So sorry, in actuality the Doctor does tend to go along with predestined events…he just usually twists them to his own ends. So give him a chance to do that here.

The End wasn't The End - Found a new home after the great exodus of 2012

@TheAbridgenator  
Well, I am not that familiar with the character—saw bits and pieces and decided it just wasn’t for me—so I will bow to your wisdom in this regard.
 
It does, however, remind me of one of the major problems I had with the pony Doctor appearing in fics: Namely that he would then overshadow every other character entirely. I saw several stories which were fine until Whooves was introduced, then they became shill pieces more and more. In fact, that may have contributed to my initial dislike of him, hmm.
