I also skimmed for the bits with the Doctor, myself. Some of them are all right. He annoys a hobo, IIRC.

Also, if you pay zero attention to the plot, you will miss the part where the villainry is perpetrated by one of Fitz's ancestors and a robot. And Fitz's ancestor looks just like Fitz, apparently. He's like this thin, wild-haired guy with a long nose. And the robot, um, can't do some things. I forget what. So it's dependent upon Fitz's evil ancestor and they're actually rather buddy-buddy with each other, and I couldn't help but read it as sort of Evil!Alternate Fitz-and-Eight. It's actually really lulzy if you read it that way...
