    Yeah, a theory is a tested explanation of known and observed facts.
    A hypothesis is a supposition or proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation.

    This is not quite either, and lives closer to the realm of the Wild Mass Guess.

    If Star Trek Discovery is TV-MA, TrekBBS should be too!

    Guinan isn't the Doctor, but she is a Timelord, one who goes by the name the Bartender.

    James Bond is likelier to be a Time Lord than Guinan. He's had how many faces now? Six? Seven? Obviously regenerates.

    So, for that matter, is Neil Degrasse Tyson. (Has a machine that can go anywhere in time and space, is probably a regenerated Carl Sagan who crossed his own timeline, not afraid to pick on a whole planet [Pluto].)

    Not a planet :p

    (Those who read trek lit will know the Borg answered that question once and for all)

    I dislike crossover sci-fi in general. In that this is fan-fic crossover just edges it closer to the abyss that is should-never-been-thought-of

    The Scoundrel.

    Guinan could be a Time Lord. For one thing, the lit isn't canon, so you could disregard all of that real quick. (or work it in)

    Q outs her as something other than what she appears (more than a bartender and, we learn later, Picard's friend through time), and she takes on a defensive stance against the near-omnipotent.

    Maybe her whole story about being an El-Aurian is a cover she took on. Or maybe she was hurt during a regeneration and was taken in by her "father." Maybe she and Q had dealings when she was The 28th Doctor, or in a different form as The Bartender, 50,000 years ago over Orion IV.
