Favorite Fictional Questions [Random Pop Culture Top 15]

Today’s episode of Random Pop Culture Top-Something is all about questions. Fictional questions, in that they are questions posed by fictional characters in the midst of fictional stories.

To be clear, we are not talking about just questions used in the marketing of stories. Like “Who shot JR?” or “Who killed Laura Palmer?”. We’re not talking about questions that were the title of stories, like “Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?” or “What’s So Funny About Truth, Justice and the American Way?” An we’re not talking about questions that fans tend to commonly ask about stories, like “Were they really dead all along in Lost?” or “What the heck was going on in Primer?”

No, we’re talking about questions that were part of stories, and usually were directly asked within stories.

Doctor Who: Amy Pond meet Amy Pond

The other day I saw a notification on Facebook, which was promoting a Doctor Who-related video. It said something like, “Amy Pond meets herself…,” and right away, I thought I knew which episode the video was referring to.

Will Russell T. Davies break all the Doctor Who records?

A while ago I did a post where I ranked how successful each Doctor Who producer was at farewelling the show’s companions. At the time, I said that the only person whose specific ranking could still feasibly change was Chris Chibnall, as he was still running the show and was likely to still write out one or two companions. But, it turns out I was wrong, but now we hear that Russell T. Davies is returning to helm the program in 2023!
