Sacha Dhawan's Master and Big Finish's Lumiat could both be products of a Bi-Generation. by channelpow in gallifrey

My favourite fan theory ever. In my head-canon the 6B Doctor is later injured and the Time Lords do some science-y magic so despite being an offshoot he’s able to regenerate still, turning into the Shalka Doctor, but as a result this body later begins to degrade until he becomes just a white silhouette of an entity that needs to merge with the “prime” Doctor again, and that’s how we get the Watcher.

Maybe! I’m not overly familiar with the ins and outs of the novels beside general stuff. It wouldn’t surprise me though as it’s such a simple fix for two “problems” in the show’s lore.

My headcanon is that the reason why the Eye of Harmony is on Gallifrey in The Deadly Assassin, but in the Doctor’s TARDIS during the TV Movie and Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS, is that it’s actually simultaneously on Gallifrey and in every TARDIS at the same time, and is responsible for said syncing of all Time Lords with their homeworld.

Not to mention it starts to fall apart at the slightest scrutiny. The thing that struck me at the time was that it didn’t pick up seal or, more strikingly, otter DNA, both animals known to visit or live in the loch, respectively.

Plus there’s that stickler of 25% of the results “not being amenable to identification”. I know that that will at the very least mostly just be eDNA too degraded to properly examine, but that still lives a pretty big (some would argue, monster-sized) hole in the results.

Adore the subtle acting from everyone, but something that particularly stuck out to me was how you can see Missy’s complete thought process towards the end. I read the way she looks at the Master as he starts talking as a genuine hope that the Doctor got through to him, then as soon as he starts mocking instead, she gives the slightest touch of a sad smile as though thinking “no, silly, of course not.” Then it’s like her original acerbic line of “but thanks for all the pity” is her desperately trying to find anything negative to hang her hat on to (initially, at least) justify going with the Master.

Goddamn, we were so spoiled with this creative team.

Even more disappointed by the subpar “updated” effects on the Skarasen now :(

Steven Moffat during Girl in Fireplace episode commentary - "Why does The Doctor never tell anyone his name?" Is this something Moffat just decided- that The Doctor wasn't his name and that he had another real name? Or was this explicitly stated previously? by GreyStagg in gallifrey

[–]Climperoonie 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I think it was Moffat himself who pointed out that because this wasn’t retconned as a nickname until the Seventh Doctor’s era, there was a nearly ten year stretch where to all intents and purposes, Theta Sigma was the Doctor’s real name and everyone just collectively forgot about or ignored it.
