If the Doctor Could Fly: Season 3

by Kitty Midnight

How would episodes or scenes change if the Doctor could fly? It's only a collection of short sections of episodes, but through all the seasons a cohesive storyline emerges as the Doctor discovers more and more about the power of flight. This takes almost encyclopedic knowledge of each episode to appreciate it to its fullest, but that kind of knowledge isn't necessary to enjoy it.

"Now then, peoples of the Earth, please attend carefully," the Master said into the camera.

The Doctor jumped into the air and flew toward the Master.

"Stop him!" a guard shouted.

A guard grabbed his ankle. The Doctor growled with the effort as he pulled the guard into the air and threw him to the ground. He tried to fly up out of reach, but it was too slow and guards were all around him. They pulled him to the ground and forced him to his knees.

The Master approached. "We meet at last, Doctor. Oh-ho! I love saying that! I see you've discovered the power of flight. Mind filling me in?"

"Stop this! Stop it now!" the Doctor growled.

"So . . . no secrets to flight? How long have you known? Must've been a few years at least judging by the way you threw that guard and got off the ground from your 'hiding spot' so fast." He chuckled. "As if a perception filter's gonna work on me."
