Fail apologies and a canon bump
Hello peeps!
Firstly I just wanted to apologize for being a fail tagger. The onboard network card on my computer committed seppuku about a week ago, and after several days of tearing my hair out trying to fix it I have up and ordered a new network card, which should be in tomorrow. In the meantime I've been on my husband's shitty computer with dodgy internet, so I really haven't been able to tag or keep up with posts. I'm so sorry! If no one is averse to backtagging I'll get on it and soon as my computer is back on the interwebs and we can tie up loose ends.
This really only affects Mohinder, Sweets, Kutner, Karen, and Peter, I think.
Also! Sometime this week Rory will be getting a mod-approved canon quick-bump, to the end of Series 5, Episode 12 (The Pandorica Opens). The thing is, I need a volunteer to rough Rory up: hurt him (accidentally or on purpose), zonk him out, put him under a spell, whatever. He just needs to be unconscious for about a day so his brain can take a little vacation and come back all full of horrific knowledge (and a body change) from back home. Here's what his deal is:
Rory's current canon point is just post episode 6 (Vampires of Venice), so he's just joined the TARDIS crew on invitation from Amy and the Doctor. So he's getting 6 episodes of new canon stuffed into his brain, and it's not pretty. Here's the Reader's Digest version (I hope):
- He gets sent to a dreamworld where he dies (disintegrated by some green alien breath-cloud shit). Since it was just a dream though, he's still alive in real life.
- ... Which doesn't last long. Two episodes later he dies for real taking a bullet (laser) to the chest meant for the Doctor, and is subsequently absorbed by that bastard of a Crack in Time that's been following Amy around all season. His entire existence is promptly erased from history and Amy forgets he ever lived. The Doctor, however, does not forget and is burdened with the memory of knowing that Rory died because he got too curious, and that Amy no longer remembers the love of her life. The only thing left of Rory is the engagement ring he bought for Amy, which curiously remained behind on the TARDIS.
- Ohhh but it doesn't end there. Two episodes after that Rory reappears in Britain in 102 AD, having apparently been miraculously resurrected as a Roman centurion. He doesn't know how it happened. "I died, and turned into a Roman. It's very distracting." Amy still doesn't remember him.
- ... Except he's not really a Roman. He's a killer robot (Auton) constructed from Amy's memories and part of a trap to lure the Doctor to his doom. Except, being Rory (and having been so close to Amy, and Amy being special because of that crack in her wall), Auton!Rory is more human than robot, and tries to fight his programming once he's activated. Except it doesn't work, and he ends up shooting Amy dead right after she finally remembers him.
So, yeah, lots of wangst. Real Rory is still dead, and he's just a plastic replica. And since he's a plastic robot with a gun in his hand at the canon point he's being bumped to, he'll now be a plastic robot with a gun in his hand in Paradisa. Blimey!
So uh ... yeah. I type too damn much. Any volunteers to knock Rory out?

Also, Morris is seriously going to throw in the towel when he finds this out. DUDE KNOWS 21ST CENTURY MEDICINE *AND* HE'S A FUCKING KILLER ROBOT? Morris can't win!

Poor Morris LMAO. Just remember ... Sweet, mild-mannered, slightly awkward one-man killing machine. I think they could get on fabulously. I imagine Rory will be in denial over the fact he has a gun in his hand.
