He's been trying to rid the universe of Daleks since the beginning of time. But as he still hasn’t had any luck, Doctor Who’s creators have decided it may be time to let a Doctor Her have a crack. The boss of the BBC series has conceded that it is more and more likely that fans will get to see the first ever Time Lady.

Honestly, I think Eccelston was the best Doctor since the reboot... He had the overall quirkiness that I think the Doctor needed, I really wish he would have stuck around longer. Didn’t mind Tennant, but just wasnt the same, and while the writing has been fine, really not a fan of the current guy either. Really having a hard time accepting a 20something playing a time lord...
He’ll have as many left as they choose to use, you think a few references to the maximum numbers of regenerations will STOP it? Come on, that’s what Creative Writing and selective memory are all about.
River Song is practically a time lord now.
The episode was entitled The Doctor's Daughter.
Tidbit: the woman who played the Doctor's daughter in that episode wound up marrying David Tennant (Doctor Who) in real life, and they have a daughter.
Yep, Matt’s Eleven. There’s been wild speculation as to how many regenerations there will be.
Jenny appeared in the third season episode, “The Doctor’s Daughter”. Physically she was Gallifreyan (two hearts), but she regenerated into herself, and did not transform. There has also been speculation about Jenny’s return.
(Cute aside: Georgia Moffett, the actress who played Jenny, is the daughter of Peter Davidson, the Fifth Doctor, and married David Tennant, the Tenth Doctor.)
Yep, and the other cool twist, the ‘daughter’ Jenny is actually the daughter of Peter Davison, the 5th doctor.
So the doctor married his own daughter. :->
Too bloody right, as they say across the Pond.
TW Season One was good, Season Two was starting to slide, “Children of Earth” had its ups and downs but was only marginally watchable. I stopped watching “Miracle Day” after two episodes. Only Seasons 1 and 2 are in my collection for those reasons.
They can go with as many regenerations as River Song put into him without violating continuity.
She had the regeneration ability (which he drained in order to save The Doctor in the "Let's Kill Hitler" episode) and she can drive the TARDIS.
An interesting implication of the River Song business: A human baby conceived in a TARDIS during travel becomes endowed with Time Lord characteristics. This creates a strong implication that the Time Lords themselves are descended from human time travelers. In the series, humans from the 54th Century have developed time travel technology (used by Captain Jack Harkness and River Song). Who's to say that a group of future time travelers refine their technology to create TARDIS machines, and then settle on a planet called Gallifrey in the distant past and call themselves Time Lords?
Torchwood was just a propoganda piece for homosexual activists. I know Russel T Davies is gay, and his repeatedly having gay characters in every Dr Who episode for no reason was annoying enough, torchwood was just full on nonsense.
I’d be okay with a lady timelord if she had huge t...tracts of land.
And she wouldn't be the first -- they've had female Time Lords before. They've even had them in this incarnation of the series, in David Tennant's finale. One of whom, if you read background material outside the show, is supposed to be the Doctor's mother.
If they can regenerate into opposite genders, it totally changes the concept of having children (or even falling in love, like with Rose). And, speaking as a math teacher, if switching genders is a possibility, how come it hasn't happened yet in 10 regenerations? It should have been more likely than that, maybe even more likely than being ginger.
River drives the Tardis better than the doctor. When he asked why it doesn’t make the noise when it lands with her driving she said it was because he leaves the parking brake on.
hmmm.. let me check with nick fury... or heimdall... (naming just 2 well known, well established characters from recent movies)
of course it’s PC bs. obviously, you’ve never talked to these people or listened to their commentary regarding their drive / direction / motivations
I remember back in the Tom Baker days, the rule was that Time Lords were limited to twelve regenerations (there was an entire storyline about the Master using up his 12 and trying to earn more from the Time Lords), but I believe this was a limitation imposed by the Time Lords themselves rather than a biological limitation. Since it hasn't been mentioned in the new series, I think we are to assume with the destruction of Galifrey (or it being stuck in the time loop or whatever) that the Doctor's regenerations are unlimited since there are no other Time Lords to enforce the twelve rule. (Show's what a geek I am that I actually know this...)
What makes the series work is the interaction between The Doctor and his (female) companions, with the underlying sexual tension between them. The Doctor is an archetypical Alpha Male. It just would not work with a female Doctor.
I thought that was neat, too.....she upped him one....very funny....the look on his face was funny...
I dunno.....I like science fiction, but a Doctor without a female companion would be, well, very dry.....
I’m not opposed to a DW spinoff, actually. Maybe his cloned daughter seen once, or with River....
In the case of a female doctor, since I’m older, I’d prefer a smoulderingly sexy older female versus some photospread teenybopper hottie. River, an updated older Emma Peele, or more mature woman....
In any case, I’d definitely NOT be interested in any beefcake companion a female WHO or Clone would have.....
DirectV just went all HD on 264 now (BBC America HD)...it is much more pleasurable watching DW now...
