Quote:Besides the title has no question mark. And the best kept secret is his real name and the best way to keep people from guessing it is if it is Who. So until his real name is revealed to all Who is as good a guess as any.The show not having a question mark doesn't negate my point. It's a reference to the question; not the question itself.
Quote:As to fan, it is worth watching but is still way too much of a children's ghost story show to be considered a significant contribution to the SF genre.We shall have to agree to disagree on this point. I personally think the fact it's one of the longest running sci-fi shows, transcending age, gender, and even nationality, shows that it has made a worthy contribution to the genre. Some of Moffat's creations are terrifying even for adults (the Angels, the Silence, etc.)
Quote:However in the Doctor's Wife episode he finds the tattoo of the time lord (time lady?) he is talking about on a woman and does not express any kind of gender related problem with that.Watch the episode again. The people he is talking to are "patchwork people", made up of different parts of Time Lords. The arm in question was that of a man, and the same character described the Corsair as "a strapping big bloke."
Quote:This sub-series plays fast and loose with continuity.Yes it does, which is why it shouldn't be taken as canon unless it actually happens in the show. If the Doctor regenerates into a girl next time, we'll know that such regenerations are possible.
