Some things are so complicated, they can only be represented via the medium of pictures. Like the preposterously complicated series of asynchronous meetings between River Song and the Doctor in Doctor Who. When we first see her, she dies. Then she’s alive again, then he changes, then she’s a baby…it’s like trying to plait sawdust.
So thank heavens for the enterprising soul (called ‘dpXEG,’ apparently) who came up with this infographic, mapping every meeting between the time-crossed lovers onto two time lines. As you can see, it needs to be fairly big to get everything in, and you’ll need to click on it to get the full effect.
And if that isn’t enough research material for you, you might be interested to learn that the Doctor Who Encyclopedia has been released today, published by Random House. There’s an interactive bundle of information for each of the last three Doctors for your tablet computer, each one costing $6.99.

I love infographs like this (or the HBO Recycling Program a few months back)!
ReplyDeleteSo much work goes into their creation. Mad respect to the research team and designer!
Wait, it is just me or the wording on the title makes it sound like they are explaining it in the wrong order?
ReplyDeleteAnyways, awesome!
Ahhh, better now!
ReplyDeleteI changed the title from one sites to another sites as I read the source and jumbled it up in the process! XD
Cool, one of the better ones I have seen :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched in a while so i wouln't even know where to start.
ReplyDeleteGonna have to buy the full sized poster when it goes on sale. My eyes were getting a little crossed reading that. Very cool!
ReplyDeleteCool graph!
ReplyDeleteHey, I know this is really late but I made this! No research team needed, just my embarrassing investment and knowledge of Doctor Who trivia. Thanks for the love, here's some more of my work
