@Nick – yes, just about everyone. But I think we discussed it over on News. Or possibly the Sofa…

@nick –

Doctor 2 claims to be about 450 years old (Tomb of the Cybermen)

makes you think, Doctors 3-11 really burned through the regens a bit too quickly didn’t they, around 700 years between […]

@nick – I’m not sure that every Claraicle is looking after hidden TimeLord children because for each to have that instinct to hunt them out, she’d presumably have had to have considered that prior to jumping in […]

@Nick

Personally I think River is currently the most likely candidate.

River is probably the least likely candidate, because Clara met River in the Conference call – and didn’t say: ‘We’ve met before. You gave […]

@Nick –

1) her travelling back from the future (assuming David has died of old age) so from around 2225 to before 1995 and falling for Clara’s father (I don’t think this could happen if she was fob watched) […]

ah, Twelfth Night, of course….

well, at least there’ll be no romantic entanglements to worry @Nick et al

😉

@Nick. no worse than me..:)

@JimTheFish and @Bluesqueakpip good points. If the script writers want time lords to interbreed with humans then it will be so. There have been precedents in other Sci fi series. Though @Nick I don’t think Doctor […]

@Nick –

You remember way way too much Who history for my good !

You should try me on Shakespeare. 😉

Seriously, I’m an actor; remembering plotlines/stories/characters from things I’ve seen is ‘trained-in’.

@Nick mmm too late? Sorry! 😉

Anyway, Capaldi is a great choice, I’m almost (almost) looking forward to the regeneration. (Can’t one of his regenerations be the ganger doctor? :() but I do hope any romance is […]

@Nick

Whilst I don’t conceptually discount any close relationships between Humans and sentient non-Humans, the creation of viable cross specie hybrids would probably be impossibly difficult outside a […]

@Nick Re fundamental differences in human/TL  DNA – unless of course you go all Ridley Scott Prometheus or Erich Von Daniken and theorise that humans on earth were “seeded” by Time Lords, or are perhaps descended […]

@Nick– though of course in Vastra and Jenny’s marriage, interbreeding isn’t an issue… arguably, now that same sex marriages are going to be legal (damn I have to buy my sister another present…) the breeding […]

@Nick @thommck– yes I think sentience is the thing. But perhaps also more acceptable between humanoids (what a human-centric term!) interspecies breeding has occurred in the human past, I think? We just happen to […]

@Nick I counted aliens as a “person”. I’m sure a TimeLord, or any of the more evolutionarily advanced aliens could have a romantic relationship with a sentient dolphin. Have you not met Captain Jack?

@Nick

It’s like saying you could fall in romantic love with a Dolphin

I can see you’ve led a sheltered life…

😈

@Nick @bluesqueakpip @JimTheFish @Shazzbot (and others!)
It seems a lot of people are forgetting that the Doctor is the same age, it’s just the actor that has got older!

All these conversations about a […]

@Nick

(because its a load of codswallop really)

You’re watching a programme about a time travelling alien in a police box and you’ve only just noticed? But River’s conception is a very soft SF extrapolation of a […]

@Nick– while I’d say that when DW who created I highly doubt they would have cast a Peter Capaldi, I would also say that although I disagree with the arguments against casting a female doctor, I can not for a […]

@Nick– that article is a wonderful find. So funny looking back. Really makes me wish I could have seen the faces of a lot of them when they watched TEH.

Does make me think though, in a way it was actually a lot […]
