It's always the wrong time to bring up that theory!
"Journey's End" & the infamous half-human question
- Thread starter EJA
- Start date
If Spock can be practically 100% Vulcan biologically and yet be called half-human, then it's conceivable that the Doctor can be practically 100% Time Lord biologically and yet arguably be labeled half-human... as well as full-Time Lord. It's all a matter of perspective. After all, we are talking about a program in which the Doctor is thousands of years old as of his third incarnation, just over 950 years old in his seventh incarnation, and just over 900 years old in his tenth incarnation. 
Ah, but she rejects the offer, so she's not a Time Lord in the end. "The era of giants is over" or somesuch grandiose nonsense.
It's the grandiose nonsense that leads me to think that DCTT[/i] isn't meant to be taken literally. I can accept it if it's about an archetypal Doctor and an archetypal companion who, for ease of narration, appear to us as the seventh Doctor and Ace, that the story operates on a level where we can only understand it, like the story of Sacassius and the painting, only in terms of metaphor. Which isn't what Dan Friedman intended at all.
The Master says that the Doctor has a human retina pattern though, so it is genetic to some extent.
He what now?Besides, the First Doctor only had one heart.
Wikipedia entry, the Doctor
"In the early serials The Edge of Destruction and The Sensorites, it appeared that the First Doctor had only a single heart. The novel The Man in the Velvet Mask by Daniel O'Mahony suggests that Time Lords only grow their second heart during their first regeneration (speculated earlier by John Peel in The Gallifrey Chronicles)."

I tend to ignore the line in the TV Movie, it doesnt bother me to be honest as i can look past it.
I love the fact that the line in Journeys End was a dig at the TV Movie, but at the same time, it wasnt pissing all over it.
And RTD ignored and The Moff will hopefully ignore it in the future seasons, its just not worth the five or ten minutes explaining it all.
Besides, The Doctor is a Timelord from Gallifrey, unless his mother/father was an intergalactic bed hopper.
Huh, i never knew that.
After nearly 20 years of watching Doctor Who, ive never known or heard of this. The Doctor with only one heart.
Cheers for that bit of info.
So, given that, could we see a loophole in the 10.5 Doctors biology where he regenerates and gains a heart. Then RTD will return for a season 6 episode and write Ten back in as a regenerated self, keeping his tenth body.
Wouldnt surprise me if RTD found this info out and used it for such an event.
All together now...
