Doctor Who Series 6.4 'The Doctor's Wife' SPOILERS

[BehattedWanderer]

I doubt it. Judging by what we know of other timelords not currently in the midst of regenerating, limb removal, and more importantly spine removal, is most likely a permanent situation. And what with every timelord locked in an as-yet-unexplained time lock/murdered, having a survivor sans organs, limbs, and spines would make him a wonderful target for any race in the universe.

Oh yeah I openly admitt it's highly unlikely and not going to happen. But it could happen if a writer wanted it, you could have a situation like the 7th's regeneration in to the 8th, where he appeared to be dead and regenerated much later. Say the host drugged him, carved him up and threw him into a pile of trash, a few hours later he crawls out fully regenerated with new body including spine, kidneys and arms.

As awesome as the last of his kind thing is, I'd love to see more Timelords, just a few other survivors.

I was kinda hoping for some in this current setup, but I was also kind of curious if he would take the hypercubes. Though, favorite insightful moment of the episode was the Doctor admitting that he wanted to be forgiven for what he had done.

The Doctor is kind of like Superman in that his being the only one left is essential for his background, but at the same time some really great stories can be made up their interaction with other surviving members. I'd love to see some Galifreyan refugees living somewhere, a little closure might do him some good.

I enjoyed it, to be sure, and some of the writing was quintessentially Gaiman, but I thought House's death at the end was a bit weak:

No! Stop this! I say, this is bally uncomfortable, stop it at once, you're tickling me! Stop it, really, stop!

 

[Encurtidos]

Umm...I thought they said that tradis's are grown, NOT built

Despite Timelords been been done to death in the older series, I would like some real closure on Romana (a TimeLady and companion to the 4th Doctor)

Bravo Mr Gaiman,bravo! First couple of episodes fried my head a bit, but this one was fried gold.Loved the Tardis saying hello and the creepy bit in the corridors.Michael Sheen did the voice for House and he was great too.
Brilliant episode, I hope they let more outside writers pen some episodes because this was the best one yet.

"The only water in the forest is the river."

RIVERS song--------amy POND.

apparently amy is not in the forest. I thought the library as well, but i think they are going for something bigger than that episode. Or they hid a bunch of shit in the library eppisodes and are slowly revealing clues to how it all works out.

in case anyone doesnt remember. Rivers was wearing a space suit when we first met her in the library.

Non-Timelord refugees would be interesting to meet. Ones with the old language, now without a home, and displaced in time. That would be interesting. Or a nice Timelord/lady, though those mostly seem to end up trying to screw him over.

in case anyone doesnt remember. Rivers was wearing a space suit when we first met her in the library.

and in the "flash and stone" episode she said she killed a good man
plus its known that river and the doctor are traveling in opisite diractions through time the more she knows him the less he knows her her past is the doctors future...

 

[Yeager942]

I must say, I loved the actress who played the Tardis. I would love to see her again as a recurring character.

 

[TimeLord]

Umm...I thought they said that tradis's are grown, NOT built

TARDISes are grown, the shell of a TARDIS is grown then hollowed out before somehow, in a wobbly wobbly way, building the control room in another dimension inside the shell. That's my understanding of it at least.

 

[TimeLord]

fantastic episode and clearly the best of series 6 so far. TARDIS always felt like a charector to some degree so bringing her out like this was just awesome, the relationship/chemistry between her and the Doctor HAD to work for the episode to work and Smith and Surrane Jones nailed it.

although, while i love the idea of the TARDIS archiving all the old control rooms, having them go into one of the older classic Who control rooms would have been nicer than the Tennant one...im mean its not like its been THAT long since Tennant left right?

I guess that Eccleston\Tennant TARDIS was a lot more cheaper to put there than try to replicate the Fourth Doctor TARDIS for exemple...

Well it is cheap enough to make for exhibition purposes......

"Bunk beds are cool." "I'm 700 years old, I must have a name!.......Sexy, you call me sexy"
Loved it with the Tardis being placed into a human, the make-shift Tardis was cool, Seeing David's/Chrissss control room was cool. It was cool. Although I think the bit when "she" was released back into her room, the whole bit of the meteor thing saying stuff like, "Oww, stop it!" "Stop!" was a bit cheesy.And still they confuddle me with more questions such as "The only water in the forest is the River." Me and my friends guess it has something to do with River, but we're just fed up of more questions constantly being added. Enough with this confusing pisswiffle Moffat! I want answers! That is all.

TARDISes are grown, the shell of a TARDIS is grown then hollowed out before somehow, in a wobbly wobbly way, building the control room in another dimension inside the shell. That's my understanding of it at least.

Everything I know about TARDISes:

A TARDIS is grown from a small piece of coral (taking approximately 500 years to fully grow), seen in the spinoff television show Torchwood and a deleted scene from Doctor Who New Series 4, it can be grown from a new piece or a breakaway piece from an existing TARIDS. It is also possible to ?build? a TARDIS from pieces of dead TARDISes. Once the TARDIS is fully grown it needs to be carved. Now the process gets a little fuzzy at some point an ?eye of harmony? needs to be installed (the power source of a TARDIS and also known as the ?heart of the TARDIS?) and then the TARDIS can begin building the interior (it can also be augmented by other technology installed by a Timelord or Timelady).

From Wiki:

Other elements needed for the proper functioning of the TARDIS and requiring occasional replenishment include mercury (used in its fluid links), the rare ore Zeiton 7 (Vengeance on Varos, 1985), a trachoid time crystal (The Hand of Fear, 1976) and "artron energy". The latter is a form of temporal energy, generated by Time Lord minds, which is also said to help power TARDISes (The Deadly Assassin, 1976; Four to Doomsday, 1982, The Doctor's Wife, 2011). Another form of energy, "huon energy", is found in the heart of the TARDIS and (apart from the activities of the Torchwood Institute) nowhere else in the universe.

Before a TARDIS becomes fully functional, it must be primed with the biological imprint of a Time Lord, normally done by simply having a Time Lord operate the TARDIS for the first time. This imprint comes from the Rassilon Imprimatur, part of the biological makeup of Time Lords, which gives them both a symbiotic link to their TARDISes and the ability to withstand the physical stresses of time travel (The Two Doctors, 1985).

Without the Imprimatur, molecular disintegration would result; this serves as a safeguard against misuse of time travel even if the TARDIS technology were copied. Once a time machine is properly primed, however, with the imprint stored on a device called a "briode nebuliser", it can be used safely by any species.

Don't like the precedent set with the whole Corsair male/female regeneration thing said by the Doctor; everything else in the episode was interesting.

Hehehehe...it's now canon. Suck it down!

But the TARDIS...I can see how people fall in love with a machine though.

(My absoloute hatred came about when I realised that Neil had used the same idea I'd already written about (The TARDIS being able to speak) and HE DID IT BETTER. damn him. )
