Doctor Who #2: He's *not* from Mars
New thread at last! Bringing this over from the previous one:
Quote:
I still believe that, eventually, we will see a return of the Time Lords. If not the whole lot, then at least one - either as an enemy along the lines of the Master, or as an ally, like Romana. Maybe not those specific characters, but the possibilities of throwing another Time Lord into the mix must be very tempting. Since they've already brought back the Cybermen and Daleks as the big events for the last two seasons and they can't keep playing the Dalek card every year, the other major classic Who antagonist left is the Master (and more generally the Time Lords, who were usually at odds with the Doctor). Counting by story, the Master actually appeared more often than either the Cybermen or Daleks in the classic series: - The Daleks appeared in 16 serials - 1 story apeice for the 5th, 6th, and 7th Doctors, 2 for the 4th and 2nd, 3 for the 3rd and 5 for the 1st, plus the Five Doctors. - The Cybermen appeared in 10 serials - 1 story apiece for the 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th Doctors, 0 for the 3rd and 4 for the 2nd, plus the Five Doctors. - The Master appeared in 19 serials - 0 for the 1st and 2nd Doctors, 8 for the 3rd, 3 for the 4th, 4 for the 5th, 2 for the 6th and 1 for the 7th, plus the Five Doctors. The Master also appeared with the 8th Doctor in the TV movie. There was another Time Lord villain, the Rani, who was featured in two stories with the 6th and 7th Doctors. __________________

Personally, I think Tennant could leave after a fourth season, that's a pretty standard run for a Doctor. But I think he's going to be very conflicted about leaving ... while it would be best for his career, being involved in Doctor Who is something he dreamed about since he was a kid, and he was actively involved in the Who universe long before he became the Doctor (he had roles in two Big Finish Doctor Who audios, and played a major character in their Dalek Empire III series). __________________

Supposedly BBC has debunked this....haven't seen it yet, though.

Question: If Gallifrey was destroyed, how would the TARDIS still be working? Doesn't it get it's power from something on the planet? __________________

But it's all very fuzzy, and the Doctor being the Doctor, even if the Eye were destroyed (which is also not certain), he'd probably just jury rig a different power source. Like the temporal rift in Cardiff, for example. __________________

I'd love it if Carlyle replaced Tennant but I bet that won't happen.

I like him, though I'll always think of him as tough guy Begbie from Trainspotting. I cannot picture him playing the Doctor. If RTD is still around when the next Doctor needs to be cast, I really think he'd go for a younger actor, Carlyle is getting a bit too old for the part. __________________

Carlyle would be much better than Tennant as the Doctor. I think he'd be a bit like Eccleston. He'd make an interesting Doctor. But yeah they'll probably go for a younger actor. And probably a weaker one too.
I certainly don't want David Morrissey in the part. |

Thanks Raonaild for the explanation! That's something that's been bugging me.
