The First Doctor merged with Dr Who to create a Time-Lord-human hybrid.

The Second Doctor covered it up by lying about why he left Gallifrey, and by hiding all the evidence during Season 6B.

What does this guy have against Emmerdale?

Also by "I have watched Doctor Who since 1963" does he mean he watched the show in 1963, or he's watched the 1963 series onwards?

I want to be able to watch Doctor Who (and other shows) with my family, but they never stop talking during the show, and then they proceed to say "what's happening" or "I don't get it" when they miss something. When I watch the show I get 100% immersed in it and pay attention to everything that might be important, so I can't stand distractions. I hate watching TV alone, but they don't even try to understand how and why I watch TV the way I do.

Does anyone else have to deal with this, or am I just more autistic than I think I am?

The scariest part is that there would be literally no way to know. Let's say you enter the teleporter and die. Well, your clone doesn't know you died so he assumes he's the original and made it through unscathed. Even if it's not as sinister as someone intentionally killing the original, let's just say scientists make a test run and observe the subject. All they see is one disappears and an identical one appears, so they just have to go by his testimony: "I'm not a copy, the process was painless and I feel fine. All my memories are retained."

But maybe in reality he IS a copy and the original experienced absolutely excruciating pain as he was torn apart for the copy process. But no one would ever know, because not a single person would remember it, because it never happened to the most current version.
>>
>>63152621
I don't get this. It's pretty episodic so usually you could dive into a random episode and without any explanation figure it out. "Okay, that must be his companion. That must be her boyfriend. He must think..." etc.

Yet plebs like your family will happily watch Game of Thrones and The Wire and other programmes where you absolutely NEED to follow the plot and characters and know all about them. Yet a single "huh?" moment in something as simple and generally self-contained as Doctor Who completely throws them?

You should move out.

I think he was more complaining that normally the people on the boards lap everything up (referencing reactions to previous Doctor-lite episodes) but then all of a sudden they hate this for some inexplicable reason.

This is why only people who believe in souls should be okay with teleportation. Without a soul it's certain that you're dying and a perfect copy is taking your place. If you believe in souls you can at least trust in whoever is the arbiter of souls to fix things and make sure your soul ends up in the new clone body, so as to not unleash soul-less monstrosities on the world.
>>

It's probably not even going to be like the book, where it's the entire original story interspersed with paragraphs and chapters involving zombies for no reason.

What it should actually be is a complete adaptation of Pride and Prejudice done in a period film style interspersed with zombie movie scenes, but that would be too experimental for hollywood.

Did the first Doctor do the 'cloning' naked? Because someone left an outfit drying by the fire, every time.

He saw the TARDIS on the other side, how was he to know there was a glowy portal the other side that would destroy the creepy construct? If, believing the TARDIS was on the other side, he wanted to get passed the wall, wouldn't it have been smarter to find a way to 'kill' the creeper, and then find a way around the obstacle?

Ah, screw it, it's a Doctor Who episode. Turn off brain and enjoy. The usual protocol.

My only problem with it is that it potentially places too much specialness on humans. "Well of COURSE the Doctor is all good and nice and shit, he has HUMAN DNA!" It reads stupidly in a show that's supposed to be about the beauty of life across the universe or something.
And surely we're supposed to like that the Doctor can have so much compassion despite being so utterly alien.

No question, but that also has no relevance, as what I'm talking about isn't emotion. You can physically feel a life extinguish, the lack of their presence, after a person dies. That last gasp, it's not like it is on TV. It's like something unseen leaves.

No point in me arguing it. Really, as subjective to me (though I will note it's not a personal eccentricity, it's a widely known phenomina/held belief), all I can do is note what I feel I have experienced.

I just don't believe that science has proved that life is a 'quirk', and that the soul doesn't exist. Science can within reason tell you how. But science has never been good a why, or at answering questions we can't yet even ask. To disprove something as ethereal as a soul/spirit, you would need to first need to identify it. It's practically an paradox.

Ah, scientism.

No, nor I you, I just hate that so much dogma (dare I say, theology) has crept into the scientific theory. Half the rhetoric is as much philosophy as it is observance today. We dismiss the supernatural, as we call it, out of hand and simply assume there is a naturalistic explanation before we have it. We have 'faith' that the explanation will fit a certain type of mold, even as science discovers new things, some of which is areas it was wrong.

I think humans being special, and more than a quirk of evolution, is self evident by the fact we are even having this actually rather pleasant and civil conversation.

Yep. It goes both ways. Nor does believing something you can by some measure observe (if not test with todays technology) mean you have to believe 'everything' either. Acknowledging that having scientific knowledge and methodology doesn't turn us into omnipotent gods, doesn't make one necessarily superstitious.

Nope, having an interesting discussion is all. You don't think believe that many scientists have built a a sort of theology around some of their theories, rather than staying strictly to the scientific method? After all, alongside plain old physicists, we have theoretical physicists.

Where in the scientific method is there room for a branch of study that can generally not be tested?

Or more importantly, if it can't be tested, how can science form an answer? It is not capable of opinion. It's a method of reaching an answer, which it either can, or cannot.

Pompous scientists who moonlight as philosophers? Now they are a different matter.

Am I missing something? Didn't the whole premise revolve around rooms resetting yet 12 didn't reset?

There's only one problemo, friendo

If the Timelords found out the Doctor was human, the Master, his best friend, would of course know that as well.
But, as we see in the clearly canon movie, The Master didn't know and found that out on his own.

The Doctor being half-human is the ultimate secret he had to tell to open the doors to Gallifrey, but he instead chose the long way around.

Your not defending your view point, you're just trying to force a spotlight in an irrelevant place (e.g trying to discredit the scientific method) and pretending it has something do with your opponents argument.

So when there was that episode where David Tennant is cloned with Donna, and he becomes a half time Lord half human for realises, what's the chances it's the universe the genuine hybrid doctor got stuck in was showed the last few episodes?

He notices it in every loop and everytime he resets he forgets everything he learned during the last loop

why? could not they come up with something else? hitting diamonds with your hand won't do shit no matter how long goes by. the loop could not have stayed the same, also why do some rooms reset while others don't?
>>
>>63154774
This is wrong because he notices that the plant that he was plucking had reformed into a vase in the same loop, it's used as an example of the reset, the fact is he wouldn't be aware of the plant resetting in the same loop unless the dial was mechanically resetting the room

i feel it struck the best balance between what makes both great, it had the intrigue and intelligence of classic (no IT'S LONDON BUT 38401394 YEARS IN THE FUTURE nonsense like RTD always pulled, it had a genuine alien interesting place) but it had the pacing of NuWho but in a good way, instead of like classic where it honestly feels like it drags on like testicles on shards of glass but not breakneck NOW WE'RE RUNNING AWAY FROM THE MONSTER AGAIN constantly NuWho pulls

Yes it will. Did you not fucking listen to the Little Shepherd Boy story?

Why would it not have stayed the same? It's the exact same Doctor. His instincts would be exactly the same, and the set-up of the rooms would also be exactly the same. Chaos theory does not come into play in something like this.

You the fedora tipper resorted to swearing, demeaning your opponents intellect and so on not the person who believes in souls
What's even worse is you are just like Dawkins your prophet - you don't actually offer an argument you just point and jeer

I miss the times where companions were just secondary characters. In classic who they don't even have names in the opening. It's just the face of the current Doctor, AS IT SHOULD BE.

minor changes. everything would have to stay the same,robot movements,the weather,etc. in 2 billion years he never had a sprained ankle,effect from impact or a different thought. additional space he needed to cover (from the whole in the wall) to get to the chamber did not affect his position or the energy output. if he can bring down the wall with fists who is to say the little losses of energy would not amount to a teleport no longer working
