Interesting theory about Guinan

[Doom Shepherd]

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.

Guinan's part of the same people Malcolm MacDowell was, in Generations.

So was he The Master?

So which Time Lord was Martus Mazur?

 

[Picard#1]

You call it interesting theory, I call it nonsensical fanfic.

Only because you lack imagination.

 

[Picard#1]

Q all but confirms her status as The Doctor.

 

[Dukhat]

Yeah, now you're just making shit up.

In before the lock.

In before the lock.

I remember the good old days when we would scream "TITS!" in this situation.

TITS!

TITS!

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

TITS!

I remember the good old days when I was the one screaming it.

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

 

[Doom Shepherd]

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].)

Carl Sagan who crossed his own timeline, not afraid to pick on a whole planet [Pluto]

Not a planet

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

 

[Long Syntax]

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

 

[Arpy]

So which Time Lord was Martus Mazur?

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.

Trek/Who crossover, not only thought of, it's licensed.

See Not so far fetched after all Nail, meet hammer head.

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

Like in the last episode of Quantum Leap.
