The Dr. Who episode that never happened but should have

Matt Smith is no longer the Doctor, but that doesn't mean visionary artists like K.K. Jordan can't think up some pretty awesome scenarios. For example, how would this episode have ended? For those of you that don't know, the Doctor's sonic screwdriver is the ultimate deus ex machina. It can literally do anything. But it's the ultimate nod to the writers because it's also completely incapable of doing whatever the writers don't want it to be able to do. Does that make sense? You writers should be nodding your head yes.

So yeah...could it turn off a lightsaber? Absolutely. Enjoy the art, I know I sure do. Just for fun, tell me who you'd think would come out on top in an epic clash between these two sci-fi titans!

  2. Could a sonic screwdriver turn off a force-choke? That might be the deciding factor.

  3. Dr. Who, of course!

    Darth is no longer even scarey! Just a big metal box, push him over and I'll bet he can't get up! :)

  4. Dr. Who. Sonic screwdriver? Sorry, I think that's funny.

  5. Ha! I love it! I love me some Who but I have to go with Vader on this one. I mean, the guy can wield a saber like nobody's business... plus using the force. I'd argue Who's screwdriver is no contest.

  7. It can't turn off Darth Vader's force powers

  8. I would say Darth Vader, but then I remember he is more machine than man ... and all the Doctor would have to do is turn off his cybernetic appendages and/or breathing system. I'm a hard core Star Wars fan, so this is hard for me to say.

    Now if Darth Vader was able to get the screw driver away from him before the Doctor made him into a statue, that might be different.

  9. I'm with Rusty that all Vader has to do is Force choke him. But then he'd just keep regenerating and Vader would keep killing him until he finally got bored of it.

  10. Dr.Who takes me back to the early seventies when I first moved to England. I would take his side, but my kids and my grand kids love Darth Vader. I have to think hard on this one.

  11. There's the choice I'd like to make and the "realistic" choice.
    Great, the "realistic" choice.
    Now I need to go re-think my life.

  13. Psychic paper is pretty darn useful too.

  14. Ha ha, very nice. Though I agree with Adam that it can't turn off the Force!

  15. I wish they've put Helen Mirren to play Dr. Who, that way I might have finally started watching the show!

  16. I once would have rooted for Darth, but since the last 3 Star Wars I'm rooting for the Doctor.

  17. I want Dr. Who to win, but because of Darth's Force abilities I think Darth would win.

  18. I never got into Dr. Who but my nephew loved the series and Star Wars too. Me, I grew up on Star Trek.

  19. The Doctor could do it! Love that picture.

  20. Darth Vader is my natural choice but Dr. Who would be quite a bit of competition. The art is amazing.

  21. The Doctor would win. Not a question. Of course, it might take him a while to get there. He'd probably make several mistakes along the way. But in the end, it would be the Doctor victorious.

  22. Ohh BEAUTIFUL. Is it wrong that I'm rooting for Vader?
