Even though the Time Lords have been destroyed (twice now), there’s always a chance more Time Lords exist elsewhere in the universe still. We know about the Doctor and the Master, it’s also possible the Hermit, the Curator, the Monk, and Jenny are still about, as they’ve been known to be off-world. But even though the population of a whole species is likely down to single digits, that won’t stop fans from creating head-canons about other potential Time Lords.
Mary Poppins I’ve written about this before, but Disney’s beloved Mary Poppins is remarkably similar to the Eleventh Doctor in many ways. Her demeanor for one thing, whimsical at times but also serious. But also she lived on a cloud. Again, let’s bring in her bigger-on-the-inside bag, which is obviously Time Lord technology.
Santa Claus This one was hinted at by the Doctor himself. Actually, the Ninth Doctor hinted at being Santa. In “The Doctor Dances”, in his joyous musings, he told Rose that he might be, off-handedly referencing her 12-year-old Rose’s Christmas present. Also, a prayer to Santa Claus brought the Eleventh Doctor to young Amelia Pond–though he later said he knew Santa as “Jeff”. But in contradiction to all of that, the Twelfth Doctor also claimed Santa Claus appearing was ridiculous in “Last Christmas”. So who knows? But it would explain why the story of Santa Claus has persisted long since Saint Nicholas; he keeps regenerating.
Willy Wonka Starting with the fact that his Glass Elevator could be a TARDIS, let’s also look at how Willy Wonka’s eccentric fashion wouldn’t look out of place on the Doctor. In addition to his style and his elevator, let’s also look at the Oompa Loompas. These humanoid creatures came from the mysterious Loompaland. Silly as the name sounds, it could be an alien world whose population Wonka saved.
Miss Frizzle I miss the Magic School Bus. It’s how I remember anything about the human immune system and photosynthesis. Miss Frizzle is another with whacky fashion choices. And her school bus, with how it changes shape and travels so quickly through space, might as well be a TARDIS. And with how Time Lords aren’t supposed to interfere, she merely teaches children about their own world. Or maybe she's just River Song?
James Bond Finally we’ve got the man with a license to kill. While that might be the Doctor’s style, that’s obviously not the case with all Time Lords. I mean, just look at Rassilon. He was willing to kill the Doctor multiple times (and all of Earth). And speaking of Rassilon, don’t forget who he was played by in “The End of Time”, a previous incarnation of James Bond. Coincidence? Probably, but it’s good fodder for a head-canon.
What about Mr. Rork from Fantasy Island? Very likely a Time Lord, in my opinion.
very tricky these timelords...
….Yes, I am.
Does anybody really know what Time Lord it is? Does anybody really care?
Someone should take up a collection to at least get that poor girl a camisole.
Q from STNG.
Several characters from STOS, the names of all escape me at the moment.
I’d say Rod Serling is a possible candidate, though not as strong as Mr. Roarke in my opinion. Thanks, by the way, for fixing my poor spelling and not tormenting me about it! ;-)
excellent choice
If I wanted to be 100% proper, I would have put my correction in brackets (Ra[a]rk[e]). This forum is a little less formal than that, and your original stands, lest anyone think I was misquoting you.
Oh, in the Mary Poppins mode, how about Phoebe Figalilly? Now there’s a Time Lady who was easy on the eyes.
Yes.
Mary Poppins is not a Time Lord. She is a witch who went to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as a child. She was probably in Hufflepuff. Her friend Bert the chimney sweep is a Squib.
see #33
I thought he did well in that role.
She actually was the Doctor's daughter. Georgia Moffett's father is Peter Davison....the Fifth Doctor.
