I'm fairly certain a Zygon can't copy another Zygon, therefore if Bonnie is able to duplicate herself into another Osgood, that must mean the human Osgood is the one who survived, not the Zygon Osgood.
@@odinoldman1324 did they though, the scene itself implies the Doctor knew once Bonnie showed up. I believe the insinuation is that the human Osgood is the one we've been with the whole time.
Pete's World most likely has a Doctor given that they have a Torchwood Institute, which at least in the main universe is a reaction to the Doctor's existence. I like to believe that Pete's World's Doctor was aware of the presence of our Doctor and that they simply felt no need to get involved. Perhaps the Pete's World Doctor was in a universe without the Time War and was just going about the universe having fun, or maybe they swapped places with our Doctor and did something on our World.
also in inferno parrellel world there was no dr clearly as alister lethbrig stuat (brigader) but no unit so no dr the dr in petes world might have never left galefrey of never chosen earth as so many better world to have as fav also may have visited since torchwood or just other small alien threats like the wearwolf could have cosed torchwood as from the wearwold they could have seen threat plus with petes world earth could have been like modas and mondas like earth since they are twin planets theirfor earth would have evolved into a world of cybermen had the dr not helped and interfered (and may have been destroyed by the dr from that world like the dr destroyed mondas
the doctor was a creature from another universe it says in the timeless child so if their is another doctor in petes world at best it would have to be another person from the doctors original universe but then it wouldn't be the doctor we know it would have to be a different entity
It could have been one of the unbound doctors, of all the alternate doctors the one that makes most sense is the full fathom five doctor, as it's a more darker timeline and that doctor is one who believed that the ends justified the means. That doctor is also dead (choked to death by his tardis key and then repeatedly shot after each regeneration by his adopted daughter after she learnt of his involved in her father's death), so that would explain why they aren't around during the events of the creation of the cybermen. Not to mention both stories involved experiments and technology gone wrong and being misused.
@@lukec22The doctor's origin is a point of constant flux As far as the universe is concerned, they spawned into existence on that cold night in november
I always figured the 7 grandmother's this was a personal "in joke" for the Doctor. She could have been referring the 7 diffrent regenerations of her grandmother
I know this is an old thread but... Lol they live for like 1000 years. Could have easily meant 7 generations of different great/grandmother's. "7 regenerations" makes sense if your thinking like a Human about time lords. But they are not human. regens are normal for them therefore I don't think they would differentiate regens as seperate people in that way. It would still be the same grandmother..."new face" just like it's always the same doctor.
Jim the Fish was building a dam when he met the Doctor and River. They went out for karaoke and beers and got hammered. He was still building the dam later when the Doctor looked in on him. Either he's a mutant beaver or a mobster from 1920s Chicago. Cheers....
As for alternate versions of the doctor, theres no reason to think that they would cross paths. In fact, I suspect that they intentionally avoid one another so it wouldnt be too surprising that the only other versions of the doctor that we find are part of our doctor's timeline and not alternate reality versions of him. And arguably because our doctor visits a place in time, no reason for his alternate versions to also visit and vice versa.
9. A webcast called The Zygon Isolation stated that the Osgood Missy killed was definitely her Zygon counterpart. 8. I thought The Watcher was a projection of The Doctor's next incarnation, like Cho-Je was for K'anpo in Planet of the Spiders. 4. The Doctor has already shown to be manipulative, switching roles with interrogators so that he is interrogating them and convinced villains to not pull the trigger. 3. Davies is right to ignore that monstrosity of a show killer. 2. Before The Girl Who Died aired, I've heard people believe that The Doctor had been taking inspiration from previous faces (with Doctor Who Magazine even believing that). However, following The Girl Who Died, a RU-vidr called CaptainJimiPie considered a theory; like with The Twelfth Doctor and Caecilius, he believed that The Sixth Doctor took on Maxil's face to tell himself something. This message, however, claims that there must be people who have to die so as to allow the others to survive. This appeared to be further stated with The Sixth Doctor's brash personality and tendency to pull the trigger on his enemies more than his predecessors (especially The Fifth Doctor, who lost Adric pretty much because of his peaceful demeanour). This was especially when he took on the Cybermen in Attack of the Cybermen; him killing them then was even supposedly him subconsciously taking revenge on them for killing Adric in Earthshock, which wasn't too long before Arc of Infinity (TV wise, at least).
"The Doctor's name" is still my favorite part ever of being on tumblr. When all we knew was the episode title, waiting for the episode to come out, all the fan theories and speculation about it. Half the people trying to seriously dig into any possible clues as to his name up to that point, the other half coming up with joke names like "his name is Doktorr" or "I think his name is Paul". I never saw anybody with my theory which turned out to be the basic truth - that we wouldn't find out what his name actually is but that "the name of the Doctor" would be referring to something non-literal. If River Song didn't know for a fact that he had a name, I would've guessed that Time Lords just DON'T have names. That whatever they call themselves is their name, they don't have birth certificates with "Basil Disco" on them or whatever.
We know one thing: It's a simple name that's no more than two syllables. We saw him whisper it to River; even if we didn't hear it, we could see him make two sounds while doing so.
My personal favorite theory about the doctor's name is as follows. It's said that gallifreyan as a language sounds more like song then like spoken words, therefore some (Including me) are let to believe his name is actually the iconic theme tune and we have been hearing it for almost 60 years now. It's stupid and nonsensical with little evidence but to me it's a very acceptable explanation. I do hope we never get an answer though, especially in the case of this theory. Just imagine any actor bursting out in a full acapella rendition of the theme song that would be utterly ridiculous. Oe-wee Oooooeee... do do dooo... No thank you.
d³∑x² is the doctors true name. Was revealed in the earlier doctor series. If this is his real name or just his nick name, theta sigma, we are not sure.
Love how Ellie never missed a moment to put in some river song love it. I really hope she’s in the 60th. That line about the 10ths youthful appearance in silence in the library would be an amazing pay off
all lore set aside..... wehn the writer of an episode comments on confusion of that episode, the conversation and confusion should end. in this case, will moffit said "Missy killed the real one" that it
The Doctor did actually address that in The Zygon Inversion; he told Osgood that he knew she was human, otherwise she would've reverted back to her original appearance if Missy killed the original. However, Osgood told The Doctor that that was the old days; Zygons can now keep their disguises, regardless of if the humans they took it from lives or dies. However, there's this webcast, The Zygon Isolation, which confirmed nonetheless that Missy did kill the Zygon Osgood.
I it has to The doctor is vital to human history And Has torchwood which I hear That A extended media set in the universe reference Captain jack My head cannon is that without rose, Is jack died And the ninth doctor destroyed the dalek empire and Erath But then the guilt of doing the time war again made him quit being the doctor and he regenerated due to the events So the new guy takes jack's name He travels back in time, but the queen's been killed by a werewolf, so he Is is the one who found torchwood And he lives to the present, still protecting Earth. But Doing it in a more aggressive way
Could have branched off from the usual universe after Torchwood was founded, so the Doctor hasn't been seen there for a while until Ten, Rose, and Mickey stumble across.
One of my own theories on how the Timeless child came about is from the Big Bang episode. When the universe was rebooted by Big Bang 2 we know from earlier in the series some events no longer happened such as The Cyberking over victorian London and the Dalek invasion and planets in the sky. With this in mind new events may have been inserted into the timeline. The Doctor was in that Pandorica, the atoms that made him, a timelord were extrapolated and exploded out in to the universe as well, it lead to the creation of a race of beings that regenerate naturally. In a Good man goes to war, The Doctor mentions how his race developed the ability to regenerate was from exposure to the time vortex and he is right, that is how they originally did it and as we know from River still can. In this new rebooted universe though Gallifrey's history was altered due to the Big Bang because they came across a preexisting race of naturally regenerating aliens, the Timeless child. You could even say Time itself is trying to snap events and people back to where they belong and keep events as consistent as possible. Timelords discover regeneration and time travel as a fixed event even if how they discovered it has been altered.
I have always liked to think that the Pete Tyler universe's Doctor was Peter Cushing from the films, and that Rose and the Meta Crisis Doctor found his home made Tardis in the back yard of his abandoned house and used the cutting from The Doctor's Tardis to make a functioning Gaifreyan time capsule out of it, and "Doctor Who's" granddaughters would join them on adventures.
What a great theory, I like that idea very much. Dr. Who played by Cushing could have caused the formation of Torchwood in a similar way to how the Tenth Doctor did, albeit as a human scientist/inventor rather than a Time Lord
I could've sworn the Osgood dilemma has been cleared, so I looked it up. It turns out Big Finish have revealed in the story Narcissus in 2019 that Missy killed the Zygon Osgood. Big Finish is canon as long as it doesn't contradict the show, so we have our answer.
I think the episode implied it was real Osgood, tbh... but it was left up to interpretation, so... I guess that's fine unless they ever clarify in the show.
I do hope so. Because she's awesome as a character, and another Zygon of a similar mindset could rejoin her, as it were. They'd be the best reminder to talk _first,_ shoot later, for UNIT.
I'm not gonna lie, a version of The Doctor known as The Librarian would be fun. But I have a feeling it would probably be The Professor, and their version of Ace would call them "Doctor" as their pet name
Concerning the Watcher. There was one other regeneration (hand over) that occurred like this, and that would be in the story, "Planet of the Spiders." The Time Lord, K’anpo Rimpoche regenerates into the body of Cho-je, who had been a separate character the whole time.
It's clear who died the Osgood who Missy killed was a Zygon. Later story when the Zygons are killed they leave behind ashes. When you watch the episode when Missy killed the two human soldiers there weren't any ashes
The Third Doctor episode "Planet of the Spiders" had a Time Lord monk whose assistant was a psychic projection of his own future regeneration. When he regenerated his assistant vanished and he became his assistant. I always assumed the Watcher was something similar, but not as well formed.
All that Chibnall 'Timeless Child' B/S was an elaborate lie of The Master's. That's why it should be completely, and utterly disregarded. Chibnall was simply trying to invent some new lore for the show, hoping that it would get him remembered. We'll never forget you Chris. Because you were bloody rubbish. 😆😆😆
@@DrWhoFanJ - I have probably been watching and enjoying the show since long before you were born. The way you write informs me that you are several decades younger than me, by the way. It's my opinion, and I'm entitled to it, that the Master, as well as the Doctor, lies. Good talking to you.
@@brianartillery And yet neither the age of us as people nor how long we have been watching the show is entirely immaterial in a matter of pure fact as this is. TTC has been confirmed to be the Doctor by people who had no reason to be lying about it. Just accept it.
I'd be happy to see Susan return. Her actress, Carole Ann Ford, is still around and I remember her saying she's game to reprise the role. It could be an incredibly emotional episode. Yes, I believe we should meet Jim the Fish.
I’d rather Have the Doctor’s family be an enigma. Because that’s the point and one of the central points of the Doctor, enigmatic. And with Susan it’s seen that the Doctor and her have a close family bond on screen. The doctor and Susan’s family should be left a mystery. It’s a mystery of the Doctor I love, Susan and the Doctor apart in time and even further from that. All that matters is the actor’s chemistry even in expanded media. I love it like that. So-it’s one of the many mysteries I’d love to leave as that, enigmatic
Of course, The Doctor was once a father! Susan's his granddaughter. ''I write to you inform you that your father is dad. Well of course he is!'' Dave Lister.
I think it should be Lisa Braxiatl (because of this brother Irvin). And if you read this name from right to left it becomes Basil - the parents were a high nobel gallifrayan from a family of naturally born time-tods (father) and a loomed serving girls from Gallifrey without a biological family - so the 7 grandmothers are: 1 daddys mom / 2 & 3 the grandmothers of dad / 4 to 7 the respective great-grandmothers of the father: all still around when this adventurer returned with his new found wife (+ children) to Gallifrey...
At the very least, speaking thematically alone, it would make sense for the Zygon Osgood to have died, so that at the end, there was the Human Osgood, and a new Zygon Osgood.
The 7 grandparents thing could be through step-grandparents like the Doctor's parents remarried or the grandparents themselves remarried. Could be considering different regenerations as multiple grandparents, or maybe it's less literal and more like mentors or adoptive, like how sometimes people might call their parents closest friends aunts and uncles
If you take the whole looms idea 7 grandparents would make sense, as no one in families are biologically related (not in the same way as humans), they're more made. So the family or house the doctor was put in could have had 7 grandparents who were just those who are two generations removed.
Given that the long living nature of time lords, this makes a lot of sense, humans can go through several marriages in our mostly less than 100 years of life, with time lords having several milennia of life, honestly suddenly 7 seems quite small.
@@medafan53 Yeah, plus regenerations can have very different personalities, you could fall in love with someone and then 4 regenerations later they have a completely reversed personality
Recently thought about how it affects river too. They argued she was a time lord as she was conceived in the time vortex, because “ your people became the way they did because of prolonged exposure to the Time vortex”. If that’s not how they got regenerations anymore then river doesn’t make any sense anymore either. God I hate the timeless child
The incorruptable matrix tells countless lies, every time she is used to verify Gallifreyan history - even the Master stated that the "true story" of the timeless child(ren) was a mess of garbeled encoding and missing facts - as "the doctors from the edge" explained it: "It is SYMBOLIC - obviously!"
In attempting to add more depth to the character he literally stripped the core of his backstory away, giving him as much as your average video game NPC. It's not "mysterious and cool" to have every last detail of your main character's background ambiguous.
I think Fourteen's bigeneration gives us a way to resolve the Watcher mystery. It's now established that incarnations can co-exist, while still in a sense affecting the next incarnation down the line. Given that both Four and Fourteen's regenerations were triggered by particularly violent deaths (Four fell from the radio tower, and Fourteen was killed by the Toymaker via laser beam), one could assume they necessitated the presence of the next incarnation early on, to prepare, guide and ease the Doctor with his transition to a new persona. Remember that the Doctor is very vulnerable and unstable in the few hours post-regeneration. And while both Four and Fourteen had their companions around to assist, they also would have to face powerful enemies in their weakened state. Perhaps the Watcher made the first post-regeneration hours of Five ever so slightly more lucid, giving him a head start; and Fifteen's presence was crucial for the Doctor team to win the game against the Toymaker. Anyway, that's my theory 🙂
Another one that comes to mind is the creature from midnight. And hopefully we never find out what that was. The scariest thing about it was not knowing what it was, what it wanted or how it was going to do it, only that it was evil. Ive always felt that the more we learned about the weeping angels the less scary they became. I hated that we saw them move in Flesh and Stone.
The Midnight Entity was the Best One-Off Antagonist (In my Opinion) so Untold, yet so Understood- [SPOILERS] We don't know anything of it apart from how it controls others, then makes someone else look like they're being controlled through it's Copying of Dialogue to PREDICTION of Dialogue and making whoever was talking to them the most involuntarily copying Dialogue, given that's it's talked to for long enough. Which is how it essentially DEFEATED The Doctor (David Tennant's Incarnation as 10th). Had it not been for another Passenger figuring out who was really being controlled by it, The Doctor would've Died and the series would've come to an End.
A scarce few of the Doctor’s immediate family have been mentioned in other works considered canon, one of them being the Doctor’s brother as mentioned in this video! His name was Irving Braxiatiel, and was his elder brother that was a serious free spirit, preferring to remain off world and explore the universe rather than attend to his duties as a Time Lord. Despite this preference, his brother held many positions of high esteem, such as acting as Ambassador for his race, he was also once the Chancellor, held the position of Cardinal, was the personal assassin for one of the previous lord presidents, and even held the position of Lord President himself for a time! In his own time however, primarily ran the Braxiatiel Collection, a self founded organization dedicated to the preservation of art, making it essentially a space Louvre. As for the Doctor’s sisters, aside from the recent mention by 13, almost nothing is known of them. The Doctor’s first wife, as in, FIRST first wife, was a Gallifreyan woman named Patience. She was quite ancient, notably, especially for a Time Lady-she was originally the wife of Omega, one of the Gallifreyan founders of time travel. Following being widowed after his sacrifice to create a stable time travel power source, she became a nurse and tutor at the Academy on Gallifrey. She taught both his grandfather and father before she would teach him during his tenure there. She and the Doctor would go on to have a whopping thirteen children, and the eldest of which would become the parent to Susan Foreman, his titular granddaughter.
In the Zygon invasion before Osgood gets captured she uses her inhaler. The Zygon version doesn't need her inhaler therefore the Zygon version was killed by Missy.
In The Day of the Doctor, the zygon does actually use the inhaler, and also notes "I hate when I get one with a defect" or something to that effect, so I would assume that zygons also copy any conditions from their victim.
@@1928crows I think the Zygon was testing it so that they could use it to blend it. If a Zygon copied someone with a broken leg would they be able to walk?
@@Dynasty954 I don't know the biology of a zygon, but seeing as how the comment about having a defect was made so apparent, it seems like they copy all ills. It would make sense for them to do so, as copying someone with a broken leg, but then having to pretend it's broken would be illogical for trying to blend in. The writers specifically wanted to make it ambiguous as to which Osgood was which, and it was supposed to be a question either not easily answered, or not answered at all due to the nature of the zygon invasion/inversion.
@@Paradox-es3bl The Zygon needed the inhaler to blend in. They hate being someone with a defect because they need something to blend in rather than blending in as a person.
It would be a cool wibbly-wobbly twist if the Timeless Child was an incarnation of The Doctor from the far future, transported back to Tecteun's time via the portal. That way, The Doctor was always a Gallifreyan, and always... um... The Doctor, whatever their real name is.
The doctor is a human from the future originaly Time lords didn't exist till the late 60s 7 was a reincarnation of a time lord original like omega and rassalon 8 was part human The universe is in constant flux and the writers don't care
@@gaz0428 it always was one was pure human only one heart and all Time lords didn't exist till the seconds final and the 2 hearts and galfray wher made in 3 era
I wonder if "the watcher" could be an earlier experimentation of the chameleon arch, before they landed on the pocket watch, like...it wasn't able to complete camouflaged the target yet, and/or it took too much from other parts and had it's own consciousness, idk, just seemed fun in my head
I think that Doctor's children and grandchildren are explained in *The Doctor's Daughter* - she's a genetic copy from his DNA and yes, at the begginning Doctor says that "She's not my daughter. She's not even a Time Lord. She can't be my daughter." but later in the episode he pretty much accepts her as such. And the ending shows, that she has some limited regeneration-type thing and goes to "see the Universe". She could have children, thus Doctor's grandchildren. And they are bound to bump into the Doctor eventually. That's how I always seen that. Also, he lived with River like 24 years? That's easily another possible origin.
Always wondered why people are surprised when he says he was a father, when first doctor travels with his grand daughter therefore he would have been a dad...fk knows what happened to his wife and kids though..
Big Finish have answered a few of these. Harmony Shoal will be in the next Classic Doctors New Monsters box set, though we don't know if it'll connect to that special yet. Pete's world doesn't have a Doctor as far as we've been told in the Rose Tyler: Dimension Cannon spin off. The Watcher was explained but I can't recall which story. The Doctor has/had a brother (or so it's heavily hinted it) called Irving Braxiatel, he's mostly present in the Bernice Summerfield and Gallifrey spin offs.
"No other doctor had a watcher" true. But... In planet of spiders we meet a timelord called K'anpo and his fellow monk Cho-Je. At the end we later find out that Cho-Je was a psychich projection sent back to help K'anpo regenerate into his next incarnation which then takes the apearence of Cho-Je.. The watcher would apear to be the same thing.
Pete's World Doctor - I thought it was canon that ONLY the prime universe had timelords in it. And all adjunct universes did not. This was established in the Pertwee era story "Inferno" that timelords are not in any other realities.
There's this novel called The Face of the Enemy which claimed that the Inferno project that happened on that world didn't actually destroy Earth but just Britain. Survivors of that world tried to infiltrate the original one, but UNIT and The Master had to work together and stop them. It also revealed that the leader of the Republican Britain of that world was it's version of The Third Doctor and it's Master was a member of the CIA (Celestial Intervention Agency, a Time Lord organisation that works outside of it's non-intervention policy). He was a hero, but he was taken captive by the Republican Security Forces and tortured before The Master mercy killed him.
Well, it's entirely plausible that Susan's parents were deeply involved in the TARDIS project, very possibly temporal engineers. The Doctor has already inferred involvement in The Hand Of Omega, switching from "we' - in a conversation with Ace - to "they" and avoiding an awkward process narrative about his own involvement. as for the initials that Susan made up the word TARDIS from - and we must remember that we are hearing a communication translation via the TARDIS' translation circuits which all us viewers share! - we must also realize that we could be hearing absolutely anything! What would the concept Time And Relative Dimension In Space actually look and sound like in genuine Gallifreyan? It would have phonemes and interstices between words but it might as well be gibberish. Their written words have patterns as we've seen, but we don't have the knowledge to basically translate even, "is there any tea on this spaceship?" Susan's mother or father might have just casually asked her, "Well . . I give up! What should we name these things ?" Her own response might have been - in Gallifreyan - "Why not just call them TARDISes?"
11:00 I think there is an excellent 6th Doctor story where he went back in time to prevent ... SOMETHING... during the Davison era. I think that is the most fun possibility.
technically the show never confirmed or denied that the human like female child was The Doctor's original form just the form (s)he was found in. the original form could having falling through that gate dying plush getting unlimited regenerations regenerating the original form into what we know as The timeless child.
Did we? As far as I always thought (before the Timeless Children), the curator in the 50th special IS the 4th Doctor - he got plucked out of his timeline inside the Pharos telescope (as the master was already outside) by some watchers and lived a long and peaceful life as the Curator of Earth (watching over his Doctor selves comings and goings to thwart all the threats and alien invasions. Maybe a grown up Adric invited him to this task (being saved from a clever watcher before his space-ship hit earth), so the Doctor was not allowed to intervene or try rescuing Adric himself... At the time he started to regenerate he was returned to the time he left his timestream and "entered" his doctor dummy in time to show his new face to the companions - to insure he got the continuity right, he had to stalk himself for some time to remember the situation he had left (so long ago from his own point of view) - this explains the change of footwear from 4th boots to 5th shoes 😀The Metacrisis Doctor in Pete's Universe took a bit longer to grow his TARDIS from the part he got in the deleted scenes - HE became the "Doctor Who" that was played by Peter Cushing - the granddaughter Susan was the daughter of the child he had had with Rose... So the Universe there could start with it's own Doctor
5:55 It would be funny if in a parallel universe, the Doctor took the name "the Professor" because Ace constantly calls him so. I could also imagine something like "the Explorer".
Perhaps the Doctor's family can be explained by a combination of "the Doctor lies" and Timelord reproduction being different from human reproduction. Like, maybe Doctor was lying about having 7 grandmothers, or perhaps Timelord reproduction means that you contribute your biological essence to... something, in which case having 7 grandmothers would be possible if they each contributed a drop of blood or something. And perhaps that's part of why the Doctor doesn't seem TOO upset about their child(ren?) and granddaughter presumably being dead - the Doctor was a father but not quite in the human sense so there's a little less of a familial connection? I don't know.
I don't think the alternate universe would have it's own version of the Doctor. In the classic series it was possible for the Timelords to visit other universes, and the 10th Doctor mentioned that before the time war they could just pop in and out. The Time Lords existed singularly across all of space and time and universes. The time war closed the doors to the other universes. I do like to think that this means that Romana is still alive in the universe that she stayed in, and didn't die or get time-locked like the rest of the Time Lords.
3:00 It's a cocoon for the Doctor's Regeneration, before the modern rules of regeneration, the idea was that timelords actually regenerate very slowly, not instantly, and the regeneration happens outside of normal space-time.
"Right then, where are we? Have we done easter island yet?" "Um.. yes! I've got easter island" " They worshipped you there.. have you seen the statues?" "Jim the fish" "Oh! Jim the fish. how is he?" "Still building his dam"
possible answer for the Pete's world Doctor; the 'Timeless Child' is a unique occurrence, and so 'Pete's World' doesn't have Time Lords at all. Even without him, Queen Victoria survived the Torchwood incident, and formed Torchwood to deal with further such incidents without the 'ant-Doctor' bias
Arthur Legden. Trapped in the St. Mary's Asylum, lost in his own mind rages about escape. In his mind he is the very thing he hates, a Doctor, crafting stories of freedom and power using the various staff as his cast but how he hates himself for what he did to his granddaughter so he projects his self resentment, constantly casting his idealized self as the very doctors that torment him with the truth of what he did. Rest dear Arthur, your journey is almost at an end. All that he can see from his window is that tiny little blue box out at the street corner and all he can hear is the grating of the door at the end of the hall and the subsequent slam, that spring and weight to automatically close the door became a comfort to him, the sound of his escape... Every time a nurse\companion comes and goes, the straining of the spring and then the bang of the door closing... the other patients aren't like him... they are the monsters he must defeat.... fragments and stories from outside... the changes of the world... rest Arthur... His poor granddaughter Susan... it was an accident... that reporter belives him... Sarah... yes she believes me!
You want to know about the doctor's family? There's an audiobook featuring the doctors brother, there's A LOT of books talking about their family, like how their father was called ulysses and he too also wanted to leave gallifrey. The comics also delve into MULTIPLE origins for the doctor, with the timeless child being one of them, so read things like the comic the comfort of the good, and the book lady peinforte I'd be typing massive novels if I were to mention more.... enjoy exploring
Biggest theory on the watcher. Was was a future version of the doctor from a timeline were the master succeeded. He was affected by entropy and therfore dying. When the 4th doctor stopped it all, the future doctor gave up his remaining life force to save and help regenerate the doctor as his timeliness was basicly destroyed.
The Librarian kinda exists already, played by Noah Wyle in "The Librarian" trilogy and TV show "The Librarians". The energy and general vibe of the character remind me of the Doctor a lot. I won't deny, if the parallel version of the Doctor would be portrayed by Noah Wyle, that would be hilarious.
I know the Watcher. I believe it is the Doctor as it’s the angel of Time Lords that brings forth new life when ever disaster will occur in the entire universe. What if there will be a movie revealing the chaos and the Watcher helps the Doctor complete peace and then chaos and evil end with no turn up?
In the books The Doctor married his Timelord teacher Patience and had (if i remember) 13 kids. The return of Patience a-woman-scorned through multi-generations would be a great plotline.
I recon in the unit tv show (if that's still going ahead) they could use the harmony shoal story thread as Kate Stewart fights an internal struggle inside unit
1. The Doctor's name _is..._ "The Doctor." But, as with the painting Gallifrey Falls / No More, _the spoken words are only "the skin of" the name._ Only someone who knows The Doctor can give his name, because _the mental body of experience knowing him_ is the balance of the name. As with the painting, you have to know it deeper than the skin (the words) of it.
5:52 I have a theory. Because the Timeless child originated from somewhere else, this could be the reason he wasn't in the alternate universe. He may have even come from that Universe or that universes doctor could have been hiding because I think they knew who the doctor was.
Why is the Doctor's family gone? Any family would presumably be Timelord too, so there is no reason they aren't still hanging around - and time and space are big enough that encounters a rare even in canon (see The Doctor meeting Donna the second time).
I think that the simplest explanation for The Doctor to have been someone's father and grandfather is that the original Doctor went to Earth as a young man, fell in love with the planet, and lived a long normal life with the people of that time, essentially aging in an entirely natural manner to the moment when we first meet him and his granddaughter Susan in the first episode of the entire Doctor Who series!
In the books he married his Timelord teacher Patience and had (if i remember) 13 kids. The return of Patience a-woman-scorned through multi-generations would be a great plotline.
My thoughts: you aren’t born a Time Lord, you’re born a Galifrayen, with a single heart and a 200 year lifespan. If you’re lucky enough, you’re picked to be a Time Lord. Once initiated, you are given a set of regenerations. Once the 1st Doctor lived out his 200 year life as a normal Galifrayen, his regenerations kicked in, and he gained a prolonged lifespan (up to 700 years per incarnation), and second heart.
There is only one way to get the answer to the Osgood question. Osgood told how. We just have to stop caring. She said she might reveal herself when people stop asking in the episode.
The Zygon was very fascinated by Osgood's brain and wanted to keep it & Petronella Osgood found someone who liked her for just being herself - not the looks, the job, hobbies or status - just plain and simple Petronella Osgood. She let the Zygon stay and they mostly assimilated each other - they mostly became the same person: feeling the same, living together constantly linked telepathically (only the Zygon would have been able to "change back") - as bad as it is, that we lost one Osgood - we still had the spare: a fully functional Petronella Osgood. Bonny was still a pouting youngster - so now we have a peace-loving Osgood and a "nearly tamed" angry Osgood - looking alike, but no longer really the same.
the answer to number one is Basil... Osgood asks what his name is in the zygon invasion...or is it inversion, can't ever keep those the right way round.
I like to think that Time Lords exist between universes and time, meaning that there is only ever one of a TIme Lord rather than multiple in different universes.
Before Peter Davison's Doctor regenerated he said the world was becoming too violent for a Doctor like him (or words to that effect) so to choose a face of the more assertive Maxil would make sense.
