It’s still hillarious. One of my favorite lines I 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 CHILDREN I’M LAUGHING FOR LIKE 5 DAYS OMFG STOP omfg its back The thing I love the most is that it’s a lunch box with a lot of whirly fans and blinky lights hot-glued on it. It’s masterful in its ridiculousnes. It’s probably not doing anything at all, and the TARDIS is doing everything and keeping the Doctor distracted while she works. waitwaitwait - wasn’t that from when they were stuck in 1969 WITHOUT the TARDIS? That was The Doctor Actually Explaining in English how his device works - and thinking he’s successful! He’s very used to the TARDIS’s translation circuits! Hahaha XD “It goes ding when there’s stuff” does tell you what it does…sorta. I like to think that the Doctor is so used to his highly technologically advanced explanations being translated by the TARDIS for less technologically minded people and so in 1969 without the TARDIS, when no-one can understand his explanations anymore, he just starts starts explaining things in the simplest way he can think of and winds up with stuff like ‘It goes ding when there’s stuff.’ -- source link
