The Island is a TARDIS

[Timelord79 (he/him)]

Hello, everybody.
In the current avatar contest over in the Doctor Who forum, inspired by my current avatar, we started to joke about the idea that the Island has smashing similarities to a TARDIS.

First of all, since we all discovered by now, it's not bound by time and space.
It's geography is kind of iffy, nobody really has a definite map.

There's also a seemingly ageless man walking around on it. Is Richard a Timelord?

We've also seen that the Island has the power to resurrect dead people. Hello, Captain Jack Harness?

Which brings me to my final proof:
The TARDIS' main console and the TARDIS' "heart" have a striking resemblance in function to the frozen donkey wheel. It's oozing with exotic power, enough too bend time and space itself.

By now I would NOT be surprised if the show ends and reveals that the whole story is an actual Doctor Who spin-off.

It would be the biggest prank in all of TV history.

I rest my case. Discuss!

And the sound it makes when time traveling, it sounds similar to a TARDIS!

Richard HAS to be a Timelord. No one can look that good through that many time-lines unless he's a Timelord.

The island is definitely TARDIS-like. It moves through time and space, makes a cool sound when it does so, and is clearly bigger on the inside, since, from the air, it seems hard to believe that so many groups of people--and so many buildings-- can exist on it simultaneously without someone noticing pretty darn quick.

I'm still going with the theory #1 that the island has some sort of intelligence, too alien for puny human minds to comprehend, and may be a living being of some sort. The Solaris theory.

And then there's the Stargate theory - #2 - that the island is just part of a network of "energy points" worldwide that allow transportation between them in space and time. I guess you could also call this the Iconian Gate theory if you're a stickler. But then there's all that Egyptian stuff.

My bet is that it's #2, but I still like #1 best. And there are some other elements to consider:

Ability to change probabilities - that fits #2.

Healing ability - seems more like something an intelligent being would do, but could possibly be a side effect of energy fields. Either #1 or #2.

Seems to select certain people to draw to the island - fits #1.

Either reanimates the dead or creates replicants/holograms of them - fits #1 better, since these seem to be the means by which the island communicates with puny humans.

Richard HAS to be a Timelord. No one can look that good through that many time-lines unless he's a Timelord.

He looks 40 or so because he's lived for 40 years. We just don't know which 40.

I buy it!

But I'd buy anything that tries to merge my two favourite TV shows.

It's the magic mascara, I tell you! It can only be applied by a sonic screwdriver.

I think it goes with Thingol's avatar...

That would be the desktop version!

God, that would be awesome!
