Yes, the new K9 show is awful, but... Which K-9 is he?

Guy Gardener

K9 has lost his memory, so he's not even considering that he has abandoned his "mistress" on his last mission before his hard drives got scrubbed.... You know like how it was two seasons before Sam Beckett on Quantum leap remembered he left his wife behind in the future.

Romana is either dead or in E-Space, so it is unlikely to be that K-9 who has abandoned his mistress, it's possible that when Gallifrey was falling before it was timelocked that the Timelords were able to push Leela and her K-9 to Saftey in an escape pod (think the opening scenes to Star Wars.) and after that they did spend a few years saving the Universe mourning the loss of the new homeworld and Leela's Timelord husband till they parted ways in the pilot to this children's programming abomination, or the plot is still as plain as a Bulgarian pinup and it's just Sarah-Jane, Rani or Maria (or Luke, or Clyde.) who is tied to rail tracks wondering where K-9 has popped off to when he should be saving her bacon.

As Horrible as the show is, it would be quite awesome I think and quite believable to see Louise Jamison arrive in the last episode to collect her pet, and then we'd get a laugh seeing how living on Gallifrey for a couple centuries has perhaps effected her comprehension of the basics that she's adapted to some sort of pigeon that she still wants to talk like a savage but she can also strip and oil change a TARDIS if need be.

Remember when Davie yelped "K-9!" with joy back in School daze we he found him in the boot of Sarah-Jane's car?

Imagine the new Bloke being just as expressive when K-9 comes out of the Pandorica.
 
Co-creator Bob Baker considers the new K9 the Regenerated version of the (his) original.

Big Finish had already killed him off, but you can work around that, in much the same way you can work around him being on Gallifey at it's end.
 
So if Bob's vision holds true, and this is the original K9 who was left on Gallifrey with Leela... What if all this is Earth's range of history trapped inside the Timelock and Gallifrey is falling and rising depending on who is more dominant over time given any passing moment during the Time War?

I still want to see a Genesis Ark spewing out millions of K9s.
