Hello Cthulhu

[ffutures]

angusabranson made a post which reminded me of the awesome SAN-draining properties of Hello Cthulhu. If you too wish to feel your brains dribble out of your ears follow that link...

On a related thought - wouldn't Doctor Who make a lot more sense if the Doctor was a Mythos entity? Not one of the "suck your brains" variety, at least directly, but wherever he goes chaos and death soon follow. Probably not Nyarlathotep, but maybe one of the other gods that can assume human form. Anyone got any suggestions as to which one?

So that's where Dr. Who nicked that one from - in the last series they had him saying that he was sometimes called "the gathering storm."

It originally comes from the novelisation of "Remembrance of the Daleks", where it's revealed that Dalek mythology refers to the Doctor as the Ka Faraq Gatri - "The Oncoming Storm". Later books also gave it additional translations of the "Bringer of Darkness/Destroyer of Worlds" sort. If you haven't read it, it's a really great adaptation of the TV story, and adds a whole bunch of information about dalek history, language, culture (such as it is), even the way they think.
