Series 5 'Bible' spoilers

... 3 new time lords from season 4 ...

What?

Presumably he's referring to Jenny, the DoctorDonna, and the Consulation Doctor.

Two of whom aren't Time Lords in any way and a third who is a semi-Time Lord at best.

My point exactly.

Well, the DoctorDonna and the Consolation Doctor are semi-Time Lords. But Jenny's pure Time Lord -- not a whiff of any other species in her, what with her genes being directly from the Doctor and all.

That depends if being a Timlord comes from your genes alone, or from your genes and your training (like a Jedi) I don't know but I've heard things that postulate both sides of the argument.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Is a Timlord what Tim Latimer was briefly in "Human Nature"/"The Family of Blood?"

 

[HappyDayRiot]

Jenny is not a semi-Time Lord at all.

She is a Time LADY.

 

[captcalhoun]

she gave me a semi...

 

[denmaroca]

That depends if being a Timlord comes from your genes alone...

And even if it does, whether Jenny is a Time Lord or not depends on whether Time Lord genes are entirely coded in DNA.

From Eddie at DWF:

The Doctor, cautiously, stepped out of the TARDIS onto fragile looking wet sand. He tested it with his foot before putting his weight on it. In the distance he could hear children singing - children? singing? - "London Bridge is Falling Down...", but it was too dark around him to see from where, or in which direction. He sniffed the air. He could smell diesel, hot metal, like a railway track, and, as he stepped further from the light of the TARDIS door, he could see vague track humps, hidden in the wet sand. He turned to the TARDIS and absentmindedly clicked his fingers. The doors swung shut. The area around him, the dark sky, the wet sand, the hidden tracks, were suddenly plunged into darkness. The Doctor took his sonic screwdriver from him pocket and thumbed it into life, scanning the area. He looked at it.

"Impossible..." he did it again, then, aiming, it, changed the setting, fired. There was a screech, a roar, a flashing light, the sky brightened, but it wasn't a sun that rose, it was a disc, a massive, ornate, shining disc... with a swirling, stylised, engraved figure that looked like the number 8 on it...
The Doctor's eyes widened, he gulp. "It can't be..."
"THIS," a voice said behind him, and made him turn.
The man was tall and lean and bald. Keen eyes, a wolvine face, sharp nose. A man who demanded respect. He smiled at the Doctor and held his hands around a place of impossible things. He was dressed in a long, crimson, velvet robe. The collar was high, batwinged, gold.
"THIS," he said again... "IS THE GAME OF RASSILON..." Then he stopped, and stepped forward. "Welcome home, Doctor.."

From Lee Mansfield

I too have heard whispers, whispers as quiet as the silent dirigibles of the Hoothi, of such a scenario as Eddie paints above...however, what he has left out (perhaps deliberately?

) is that it ends with.... The Doctor asking "What are you playing at, Mortimus!?"

I too have had a sniff of the document that Eddie has seen. I don't know WHO wrote it - but I know who 'sourced' it - and I guarantee it is someone very credible indeed. AND someone who certainly IS a professional writer at that!
So can we lay off the CSI Cardiff style investigation of 'prose quality' and take it in the spirit it was intended - which is to conjure a scene / an idea / a feel for what may be currently in gestation.

 

[Sci]

I think that nuWho has made it pretty clear that the term "Time Lord" refers to the Doctor's species, not "Gallifreyan."

Re: 2 posts above. How can anybody be taking this crap seriously?

 

[Chaos Descending]

Well, now the Patrick Stewart rumor is really picking up steam.

 

[StCoop]

No. It's still the same couple of people playing a game of "let's see what crap we can get into the Tabloids".

 

[Davros]

I still do not believe Gallifrey was really destroyed, so other Time Lords will be no surprise to me.

Re: 2 posts above. How can anybody be taking this crap seriously?

The thing is, I can see that sort of thing being right up RTD's alley. (ooh err!)

I'm not talking about just this thread. See the TrekToday news items.

You haven't been paying attention for the past four years then. The series has gone out of it's way not to produce fanwanky nonsense based on the past of the original series. Giving the Macra a cameo in 'Gridlock' is one thing, but all the rubbish that's been coming out over the past couple of weeks (and all from the same couple of people) falls squarely into the category of the sort of mainstream audience alienating material that both RTD and Moffat have made it clear they've no intention of making.

Which quotes a gutter tabloid who picked the story straight off the DWF.

(Which only helps bolster the credibility of the whole "fool the tabloids" idea behind these so-called spoilers.)

You're kidding, me, right???

Oh dear Lord, please tell me you're kidding.

 

[wamdue]

yes this story from theSun is pretty much based on those romours from DWF, its a nice rumour but far from confirmed, not that im saying Patrick wont appear in Doctor Who

 

[Starkers]

Well no idea re the validity of this, but it wouldn't surprise me is Stewart turned up in Who at some point in the next few years.
