💙💙 Mailbag Time! 💙💙

Fan Question:

“That rocket cycle the Doctor rides in The Reality War—was that meant to be a Flash Gordon homage? It looked just like the one from the 1980 film!”

⸻

OH YOU CAUGHT IT!! 💙 That rocket bike wasn’t just a nod to Flash Gordon—it was a full-throttle tribute! We wanted the speed, the sky, the camp, the cape, the absurdity! And if you heard “FLASH! AH-AHHH!” in your head as the Doctor soared over the Thames, that’s exactly what we were hoping for. ⚡

But this is Doctor Who. We don’t just reference. We absorb.

So let’s go deeper…

What if the events of Flash Gordon—yes, the entire 1980 film—really happened in the Whoniverse?

What if that wasn’t just a film? What if it was a distorted Earth retelling of a classified extraterrestrial incident? UNIT’s got files on it. Torchwood had a surveillance balloon pop just trying to follow it. 😏

And what if—here it comes—

😮

Professor Hans Zarkov was actually the Doctor?

The signs are all there:

• Slightly unhinged? ✔️

• Building homemade rockets in secret labs? ✔️

• Dragging people across galaxies without so much as a travel warning? ✔️✔️✔️

Classic post-regenerative Doctor behaviour if ever I saw it.

And Ming? The Time Lords never liked him. He once tried to breach the Matrix using brainwaves alone. Don’t ask. It was redacted.

But here’s the best bit:

Brian Blessed, who played Vultan in Flash Gordon,

also starred in Doctor Who—on TV—as King Yrcanos in The Trial of a Time Lord (1986).

Canon. Not an audio. Not a spinoff. Full. On. BBC. Six Doctor. Canon.

Coincidence? 😏

Or… evidence of temporal overlap?

I like to think Vultan and Yrcanos existed. Same lungs. Different timelines. Both shouted DIVE!!

So yes—the rocket bike is an homage. But it’s also the Doctor tipping his head (and cape) to a man he once was. Or knew. Or accidentally launched into orbit.

💙 Keep watching. The past isn’t past in Doctor Who. It’s looping.

And Flash… Flash never left. ⚡

I am once again in awe how KC is capable of pumping out panels like crazy but only when it relates to her little obsession and more projection than a movie theater

At some point, I started mentally saying "Paul Lessingham" in a Brian Blessed voice and I desperately wish I could undo this.

Astronomy Daily - The Podcast: S03E170 Welcome to Astronomy Daily, your source for the latest space and Astronomy news. I'm Anna, your host, and today we have a packed episode covering exciting developments from NASA's Voyager mission to solar flares and lunar rovers. Let's dive into some fascinating stories from across the cosmos. Highlights: - Voyager 2's Ongoing Journey: NASA has made the tough decision to power down the plasma science instrument aboard Voyager 2, now over 12.8 billion miles from Earth, due to diminishing power supply. Despite this, Voyager 2 continues its groundbreaking exploration with four other active instruments, extending its mission well into the 2030s. - Solar Flares and Geomagnetic Storms: The sun unleashed two powerful flares, including an X 7.1 class flare, the second strongest of the current solar cycle. This eruption caused disruptions to radio communications and is expected to trigger a geomagnetic storm, offering a spectacle for Aurora watchers. - Annular Solar Eclipse: Sky watchers in select locations witnessed a stunning annular solar eclipse, transforming the sun into a "ring of fire." This rare celestial event was visible across parts of the Pacific Ocean, including Hawaii, southern Chile, and Argentina. - NASA's Lunar All Terrain Vehicle: As part of the Artemis missions, NASA is developing the Lunar Terrain Vehicle (LTV), an unpressurized rover for future lunar exploration. A prototype, the Ground Test Unit (GTU), is being tested at Johnson Space Center to refine the design and ensure safe lunar operations. - Vulcan Centaur Rocket's Second Flight: United Launch Alliance's Vulcan Centaur rocket is set for its second test flight, a crucial step towards certifying it for the US Space Force. This mission, carrying a mass simulator, aims to assess the rocket's performance for future national security missions. - ESA's New Norcia Antenna: The European Space Agency has installed a massive 122-ton reflector dish for its newest deep space communication antenna in New Norcia, Australia. This will enhance ESA's ability to communicate with distant spacecraft and support international missions. For more space news, visit our website at astronomydaily.io.
