1. Content should pertain to Doctor Who (Be it the BBC TV show, the spin-offs, the audio plays, the books, etc). There's a bit of wiggle room, just don't go overboard.

2. This board strives to be SFW. NSFW images and WebMs are only allowed if they are posted as spoilers AND the text of the post clearly states that the Image/WebM is NSFW

3. Spoiler tags are strongly encouraged but not always necessary when discussing stories. Be aware though purposely spoiling stories to annoy people is not allowed at all.

4. The quality of posts is extremely important to this community. Contributors are encouraged to provide high-quality images and informative comments. In addition, outside the General it is important to stay on topic.

Tom Baker. I liked Pertwee when he was being curious about things and explaining everything to dimwitted sidekicks and the viewers but he was too action hero and gadgety for me. Tom Baker is the definitive Doctor in my eyes because he just gets the core ideas behind the character of the Doctor so right, mixing the authoritarian tone of Hartnell with the madcap antics of Troughton with ease, and with the right scripts, I believe that the Doctor is astoundingly clever in his hands more than I do in Pertwee's. Just the way he explains things with the classic "Ah yes". His flippancy about everything is just the icing on the cake.

I know Christopher Eccleston. He lived in a richer area of New York at one point. I bumped into him in a sandwich shop. He was shooting the shit with the sandwich maker when I came up to give my order. I got a standard turkey on wheat with mayo and pepper jack. It was something very simple. All the while Chris was laughing to himself and pointing at me occasionally mumbling, "Is this guy serious?"

I wasn't sure why I guess he was displeased about me ordering or what I ordered. After I got my sandwich I sat down and ate while he just leaned back into the windowed meat display and watched me. When I got up to throw the trash away he stopped me and offered his hand. I was shy because I knew who he was but he introduced himself anyways. When I shook his hand the other hand came out of his pocket holding a tazer which he used on my neck. When I fell to the ground tense I soiled myself. He laughed, "This guy." And started kicking me in the face quoting Doctor Who over and over, "STUPID APE STUPID APE."

I woke up in the hospital next to a vase of broccoli labeled, "From Chris."

Now every year he shows up to my families Thanksgiving dinner, uninvited, unannounced, and just eats, laughs to himself, and then leaves. Last year he murdered my mother. I fear what hurricane Chris will bring this year..

The Doctor's name Anonymous 04/09/15 (Thu) 10:00:57 No.7560 [Reply]

I assume we all agree that the Doctor's name will and should never be revealed, and if the writers ever did decide to reveal it, they'd handle it in the stupidest way possible with no regard for prior setup or canon.

Going further, arguably the Doctor's name *has* been revealed, depending on what you take as canon and what you ignore. He's Theta Sigma, or the Other, or literally "Doctor Who", or literally "The Doctor". It could be "hidden in plain sight", as they say.

Some sources say a human could never pronounce his name. We see the Doctor's and River's lips move as though they're just speaking simple syllables, but maybe they're using Time Lord abilities to shape sound waves in ways human mouths can't duplicate.

Going woolier, maybe his name isn't a simple audio string at all, but a complex mixture of various elements including arcane Time-Lord-only stuff, and maybe distortions of time itself.

Maybe in some mysterious bollocksy-wollocksy way, it's fundamentally unknowable to humans and therefore the viewer. Or the human mind is just programmed to censor it. "More than just a secret" indeed.

But! I feel like speculating anyway. If they did decide to Reveal the Doctor's Name for Real This Time, how do you think they might do it, or what do you think the name might be? Ignore established canon where inconvenient; the show always does.

One I haven't seen yet: The Doctor's name is Cain.

In the Doctor Who fanfic community, the popular consensus is that the Doctor's pre-leaving-Gallifrey name was Theta Sigma, abbreviated to Theta, and the Master's was Koschei. Both of these interpretations are nonsense: Koschei is a pre-existing name from myth that the Master just adopted for that one story; and I like the Foreman headcanon that Theta Sigma was the highest grade on a notoriously difficult Time Lord entry exam that the Doctor aced. But it's a nice substitute for whatever the REAL NAMES are.

Theta Sigma being a grade makes perfect sense, in the BF play 'Omega' we learn Omega was originally Pralix, but he called himself Omega after getting the worst possible grade. (His theories about time travel were considered laughable).

Why does /doctorwho/ NEED to be active? We use it for random things like formulating pranks plus as a retreat space for when live/who/ gets out of control, and then move back to /who/ once things have died down. There is no point in change for the sake of change, /doctorwho/ has its purpose and that is not to permanently replace /who/. You will never convince the entirety of /who/ to migrate here, because there is absolutely no reason to.
