Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The Doctor must have had the "hots" for Reinette, since he sat in her fireplace so often. He was heartbroken, though, when he arrived just after her "ticker" stopped and it was her "time" to go.
These three puns (for your amusement or possible disappointment) involve which of these characters of history, who found the Doctor in her childhood bedroom?
2. This person only had a few brief appearances before they died in "Doctor Who", but this Prime Minister was a favorite to many. First seen with the Slitheen, the person introduced themselves as a member of Parliament. Before long, they were Prime Minister during Britain's golden age.
Yes, you know who they are. Which character is it?
3. In one episode of "Doctor Who", the Doctor becomes a human to hide from an enemy chasing him through time and space. John Smith was just what the Doctor ordered; in this new human form, the Doctor was finally able to live a normal life.
Sister of mine was very sad when John Smith died (ooh, a "Doctor Who" pun AND a hint, how lucky of you). What enemy was pursuing the Doctor?
4. In the episode "The Doctor's Wife", we were introduced to a new character who we actually knew since the very beginning of "Doctor Who". Her 'death' was super sad, because it was so heartbreaking for the Doctor.
The Doctor has been married almost as often as Henry VIII... Which of his 'wives' died in this 2011 episode?
5. "And I'm free - free fallin'."
In a Christmas special episode, the Doctor crashed into the spaceship Titanic, and he met a girl who would become his companion for the episode. At the end of the episode, she saved the Doctor and began falling. She continued to fall until the Doctor was able to scatter her among the stars.
Which of these characters' deaths was it?
6. The Doctor is always changing history, but some events are "timelocked" and he cannot change them. In "The Water of Mars", however, he changed the fate of one crew member and kept her alive. However, this character knew this would change history, and she went inside her home and killed herself instead.
"Don't go in the water." What was the name of the character who was supposed to die from water on Mars but instead shot herself in her home?
7. You may as well call this character "Forever Alone", because he had lived for possibly millions of years as the last of his kind. His last appearance was in "Gridlock", where he spoke one final secret to the Doctor before his tragic death.
What character died only after the third meeting of the Doctor?
8. Some characters die more than others. One companion of the Doctor died several times; in two different dreams that were reality, by a gunshot then taken by a crack so as never to exist, only to become living plastic to guard a box for 2,000 years only to die again, then come back to a world where the plastic part never happened, and finally die a time or two more.
The resilient character always makes me think of "Stayin' Alive", since he never seemed to actually remain dead. Which character died so many times?
9. Time travel is a curious thing, because sometimes we see the death of a character before we have even met them. In "The Silence of the Library", one character's death was sad, but it wasn't "rip-your-heart-in-to-a-million-pieces-sad" until the second time I watched the episode, after knowing who the character was. I would give you more information, but "Spoilers."
Who was this wonderful character who died trying to save the people who were saved?
10. Even the Doctor has died, even before he could regenerate into a new body. It was the Impossible Astronaut who had killed him, and the timelocked event could never be changed. This puzzled many viewers, who had no clue what would happen since the Doctor had a death which could not be avoided. Perhaps it was the end of "Doctor Who"?
Is there a doctor in the house? Oh wait, he died. In which of these locations was the Doctor shot and killed?
