Ok so it doesn't apply to personal stuff just whatever he finds in the timelines he goes to. But there is a reason that bunches of religions have the blue box as a sign of calamity.
Let's be fair, it's pretty clear Davies was clearly trying to launch another spin off.

Messing with the Doctor's granddaughter? AU Grayven, I know you're a god and all, but, uh, there's only one piece of advice that applies to this situation: RUN.
Thank you, corrected.
He's the one who dumped her in the future and then forgot about her.
Surprise side chapter?
What a thing to wake up to! So, then, who is this Renegade going to be dealing with? Because that datestamp suggests it's a long way in the future, and there aren't that many popular settings in that era...Ah, the Doctor. Of course. Now, which incarnation is it? The Sonic design suggests the Tenth.
And a remarkably placid response to the Oncoming Storm.
...It's strange. But who am I to judge?
Not that it would be much use against the Renegade. Sonics don't do organic materials regardless. And I bet the Psychic Paper does nothing for him either.
And there's nothing more intimidating than a nice big office, after all. Slap some impressive power decorations and the average office worker will be quaking in their boots.
Almost certainly the Tenth, I bet. No mention of trainers or trenchcoat, but we can all guess it's him.
I mean, they get left laying around after just about any time the Cybermen show up...
Well of course he is. Why wouldn't you look into such advanced technology?
"Compassion is Irrelevant." Nice touch that they've been left behind by human advances...
The Doctor's probably feeling conflicted right now. This guy is acting like a corporate overlord, but he's so damn sensible!
That suggests he's had encounters with other Doctors. Which is an amusing idea to think about.
Because the corporate overlord surely has to be a bad guy, right?
Ah, yes. The fashion trend of being cool robot people.
So Cyberpunk.So, no danger of being overridden by some Cyberman invasion attempt, eh?
It's rare that the Doctor encounters any physically augmented folks like this, isn't it? Limitations of the TV budget, after all...
Honestly, you'd think he'd recognise the Doctor, whatever the regeneration. If only by reputation. That or he's hiding his giddy glee.
Yeah, that's pretty effective against most folks. But against a God of Conquest...
And this is the point at which most bad guys in a 'Doctor Who' serial realise they are in deep doo-doo.
Heh. Now, see, most of the time, that approach works.
Heh. The joy of a corporate-controlled future era. Not that Earth hasn't had a lot of those over the years in this universe.
Ah, as expected, the Psychic Paper bounces off his mental fortress.
On the other hand, that tells the Doctor that this guy has some serious mental defences. It's not often that doesn't work.
Huh. Guess that explains why the Doctor didn't comment on his looks before.
It's the height. A normal-sized clown is scary enough for some. One towering over you, leering down at you with his masked features? Those who understand are already cringing, aren't you?
That'll throw the Doctor off his game, certainly. It's not often he gets such a reasonable response to barging in.
Heh. Of course he's suppressing his squeeing. Commendable that he managed to hold it in until the Doctor left.
The Adipose, huh? Well, they technically weren't a hostile species. The person in charge of their plan panicked, if I remember right, since the whole deal was illegal under galactic law.
...Well, the timelines do match up, kind of? The Doctor did leave his Granddaughter on Earth in the twenty-second century after thwarting a Dalek invasion. The question is, is she still around or did she live out something closer to a human lifespan?
I also enjoyed Stargate, and not in a "beating dumbness out of heads with sticks" way. Just a neat power base for Paul, neat hurdles.
Is this the first time that the Renegade has met the Doctor in his multiversal travels?
I mean from the Renegade's perspective.
The Doctor has not shown up in a Renegade chapter before. And looking at the date, this chapter takes place almost 400 years from where the Remegade chapters had just been showing us.
Are you saying you were Sweet Tooth?
Surprised you doesn't take this moment of him using a not one but now 2 knows Doctor gimmicks to go "Ohhhhhh, you aren't just some whackjob that has others call himself Doctor Who, but the Doctor. Fair warning about the blooming laws regarding telepathic intrusion..." and so on.
"Logic would dictate otherwise." Was my immediate response upon reading that. I assume that was their "Resistance is futile" type of line in the show?
Love the little squee.
I am aware of that. But this is a future version of the Renegade who doesn't have much to do in his universe anymore and has taken to travelling to other universes to see what he can do to fix them to alleviate his boredom. I'm asking if in his travels, has he met another version of the Doctor before, whether it be another regeneration or a version from another universe entirely.
The TOC needs to be fixed.
Indeed. There's a reason the Daleks call him "the oncoming storm"
Thank you, corrected.
I have yet to see even a single Dalek call him that.
Ooh, Billy, doing some research on the new guy? Well, the best kind of research he can do with the primitive state of the Internet. I doubt he could ask on a comics-related BBS about 'Things Orange Lantern' can do without raising some very confused responses...
Since pagers were kind of expensive, even in the nineties. And they were often conflated with illicit activities...
Discount bin? Geez... I guess if you aren't Superman (or at this point, Supermen, depending on the status of 'Death of Superman') or Batman, you don't rate the collectors' attention...
...So, the usual weekend 'fun'. Honestly, this happens every week, he should expect something by now.
Better than being entirely dismantled at the atomic level, beamed through space and reassembled at a desired location, 'Star Trek' style.
Whoops, looks like his inner monologue got a little focused.
I mean, if he was in a sufficiently public place, you might expect a slight delay as he snuck off into a private corner.
The joy of being 'the smart one' of the team.
Logical, but I suspect they end up lowballing the capabilities.
I thought quite a few of the Monsters could talk. Though I expect it's mostly about stuff related to their purpose, rather than the sort of philosophical stuff OL dropped.
Ah, Dragon Caesar. One of the fun parts of the series. Seeing it combine with the others was always entertaining.
Ooh, did OL borrow it?
Grand Theft Mecha. And he doesn't even have to play that rather nice melody.
Basically, magic. Or at least Science so advanced it basically is magic.
...I mean, he hasn't read them yet.
Remember Billy, these are normal kids, not comics geeks. They don't know boo about Power Rings.
Though amusingly, most animation sticks to the Constructs, and leave the other stuff to 'stick a glowy thing around it.'
...Pretty much, basically.
...I mean, he's probably picturing him doing some visually impressive thing like pulling up buildings and tossing them around.
...Wonder how these comics would have represented Enlightenment. Orange-ringed word balloons?
Something which a lot of comic book writers never bother to show, mind you. It's one of those things that hits you while you're doing something else, like looking in the fridge.
And watch out for that link, you will lose hours in horrified contemplation of it.Handy idea, but if the bad guys manage to subvert a Ranger...
And here we go. Distraction plan underway.
Just seeing the Putties not attacking Angel Grove should be a surprise.
I bet the Rangers are feeling a little relieved they didn't have to fight him earlier...
And of course Billy picks up on it immediately.
Yeah. That's bad.
Unless you really wanted to finish the job. Presumably you would haul the surviving bad guys off to be confined again.
That probably depends on who narrates them. If it's first-person narration, well...
In other words, this is pretty close to the Godzilla Threshold for them.
Cue the theme song! And then check out Ron's other tracks.
A transmitted signal might be able to perceive it's surroundings in some ways...
...and even then it should take dozens of teleports before a human brain learned...
I pull out an issue of Orange Lantern's own comic and compare them.
He can transmute matter and synthesise hi-tech machinery...
Didn't they? Guess I got my epithets mixed up. I know they call him something dramatic besides "the Doctor" sometimes.
Missing comma after "Mr Manson".
The teleporter is part of the communicator, not the morpher.
This reinforces my pet theory that Billy didn't invent the teleporters, he just tapped into the Command Center's pre-existing systems.
Did MMPR S1 rangers ever teleport between two other places, or only between random places to/from the Command Center consoles specifically? I think Turbo's last episode was the only one actually filmed at the building they used for the Command Center exterior.
No "Observe the Viewing Globe"?
Interesting choice for PR!OL to sit inside the cockpit rather than just stand on top of it. Must've cleaned out the dust first?
"synthesize".
"Zord" (twice). "Dragonzord" without uppercase "Z" is correct.
Thank you, corrected.
No, they literally always call him DOK-TOOR.
I think it works better as it is.
He was checking it was still there. It would be embarrassing to teleport to the Command Centre, realise that he left it behind and have to go back for it.
He was pushed for time.
Rangers teleport in and out while wearing sealed suits. Where would the dust come from?
Zord is generic. I don't think it should be capitalised any more than 'car' would be. Dragonzord is a name, so it gets a capital.
I was going to point out that at minimum the Pumpkin Rapper, well, rapped, but after checking some clips of incredibly painful early-90s kids TV rap, it still did boil down to "die, Ranger, die," just in rhyming couplets.
