Doctor Who

It doesn't happen!

In The Doctor's Wife Who specifically says there was a time lord who was a woman in two incarnations.

In The Doctor's Wife Who specifically says there was a time lord who was a woman in two incarnations.

Firstly, it's not "Who". He's "The Doctor"; every fan knows that. "Who" is the question people ask when they meet him.

Secondly, it's not known whether he was being serious or not. It was a passing reference. When the 10th Doctor regenerated into the 11th, he felt the length of his hair and exclaimed "I'm a girl!", which can be looked at two ways: either he was just surprised to regenerate into a girl, as it hadn't happened before, or he was genuinely confused as regenerating into a different gender is not supposed to be possible.

We covered that already Nony. The doctor lies and is also cheeky. It very well could have been a joke. It's been established that there are two distinct genders.

Then there are only Doctarians and no Whovians. Got it. "Theians" being too hard to pronounce.

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.

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.

Saying it is saying it. The scripts are the only source of information about anything related to the entire series. Yes I did raise his 10 to 11 remark. 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.

This sub-series plays fast and loose with continuity.

If one is going to second guess then "it cannot happen" also falls into the same category and has no different merit. It cannot happen could also be a joke or a lie or cheeky. The result is it is indeterminate. The only factual statement is, it has not happened yet.

What a juvenile attempt at proper snobbery.

Seriously, how fucking uptight do you have to be to say this: "significant contribution to the SF genre."

It's only the longest running Sccience Fiction series ever. How significant can it be? :P
