The Doctor's Biography 8 May 2008, 3:04 am sariel2004 The novel Doctor’s background Time Lord I started a thread about contradictions between the TV series and the novels and it touched on Gallifrey and the Doctors origins. I didn't want to stray too far from the point over there but I did want to see what people thought of how I understand his origin to be… Joined April 24, 2004 Ancient Gallifreyans were immortal and highly telepathic; they Last On: Today 1:10 lived in a Hellenistic society ruled by the line of Pythias. As the first am time travel experiments were conducted, the Pythia was overthrown by Rassilon and he began to reform Gallifreyan society, aided by Posts Here: 136 Omega and the Other. Rassilon engineered the accident that trapped Omega in a singularity as they used the Hand of Omega to unleash the energy they needed to become lords of time and the time energies altered the Gallifreyan present. When Rassilon became too dictatorial, the Other tried to leave and threw himself into the central loom, which was linked to the Houses of Gallifrey, to escape (having first sent off his adoptive granddaughter to try to escape the planet). At this time there were heavy riots and Rassilon may have been executing the other old Gallifreyans, leaving himself as ruler of the newly loomed (and slightly re-engineered) Gallifreyans, no longer as telepathic and with regenerations instead of true immortality. Some escaped, including Patience, Omega’s wife, who hid for aeons in the House of Lungbarrow. The Other’s biodata fed into the loom of the Noble House of Lungbarrow, but having been exposed to the intense time energies they jumped forward almost two million years before they expressed themselves and finally came out in the biodata of a lungbarrovian called Ulysses, who went on to be a great explorer of his age. Ulysses met a human time traveller, Penelope Gate, the two fell in love and he brought her home to Gallifrey, where they married (marriage and partnership being rare and with a lesser species in bad taste, but not actually wrong). The two had a son, the first born on Gallifrey since the curse, and he was brought up at his family home, where he was tutored by Patience (the High Council were largely unconcerned by this once the boy seemed normal and let it go). Patience recognised the Other’s spark in the Doctor and when he grew up they became lovers and eventually married. They had children as well and they took their place in Time Lord society. Unfortunately, Marnal, a rival of Ulysses, had realised who Patience was and even as Ulysses imprisoned him on Earth he revealed her origins to the high council. The council were horrified: they could take cavorting with lesser species but an ancient Gallifreyan terrified them. They stormed Lungbarrow and killed the Doctor’s children. Patience escaped (with the aid of the Hartnell Doctor) to a prototype time-ship and fled to the planet seen in Cold Fusion , where she lay in suspended animation for 2 million years (it was programmed to return to its time of origin, though at different physical coordinates). The Doctor (pre-Hartnell ) was captured by the Time Lords, who were unsure what to do. He was a respected member of the Council and though he had consorted with Patience was not corrupted with her blood and they were loathe to kill him (a prophecy may have stated that he had an important destiny, staying their hand as well). Nevertheless, the scandal had to be hushed up. Eventually they decided to erase his memory and reloom him. He would be reborn as all Gallifreyans are and there would be no evidence of his past. The First Doctor emerged from the loom and met his cousins, many of whom regarded him as odd. None knew of the Doctor’s past as the Time Lords had tampered with their minds, too. He went through his brain buffing, being tutored by Badger, and enrolled in the Time Academy. There he was by turns brilliant – becoming part of the Deca – and awful – deliberately getting low marks as a sign of rebellion. He and his friends encountered the Toymaker, but only he escaped and as a result he was expelled. He did, however, manage to complete his studies in his spare time and get readmitted (to the disgust of some, horribly easily). He then continued as a scrutinary archivist, being largely ignored until Lungbarrow’s Kithriarch, Quences, deathday, when he was found by the Hand of Omega and left Gallifrey with it. The Hand allowed him to journey into Gallifrey’s past and it took him to the old times during Rassilon’s purges. There he met Susan, who recognised him as her grandfather, and he rescued her, somehow knowing it was true The Hand then took him forward in time to witness the attack on his family and he saw his offspring perish. He managed to save the newborn Susan, however, and used the prototype time machine to send her back to ancient Gallifrey, where he now knew she would survive until he collects her as an adolescent (which, from his perspective, he has just done). She is sent back and, in a twist of synchronicity, is adopted by the Other. The Doctor then helps Patience to escape and puts her in the prototype time machine and sends her away (he recognises her at this point and knows at least vaguely who she is, but he keeps this from her). The Doctor and Susan then travel on, finally reaching Totter’s Lane, where he leaves the Hand behind . and the rest hopefully you all know . I'm pretty sure this is supposed to be the way it happened from what I've read and put together. does this sound right and did I miss anything ? #2 8 May 2008, 10:46 am Doktor Wer Re: the novel Doctors background Time Lord When the Pythia was cast out at the beginning of the Age of Reason, she left behind a curse making the Time Lords unable to bear children (hence the looms).

Every now and then, I read comments from Whovians about how the programme is called: "Doctor Who" - and how you shouldn't write the title as: "Dr. Who". Also, how the central character is called: "The Doctor", and should not be referred to as: "Doctor Who" (or "Dr. Who" for that matter) But of course, the Truth never quite that simple As the Evidence below will show... * * * * * * * http://aetw.org/omega.html THE PROGRAMME Yes, the programme is titled: "Doctor Who", but from the very beginning – in fact from before the beginning, the title has also been written as: “DR WHO”.

  • A Student's Guide to Cold Fusion
    A Student’s Guide to Cold Fusion Edmund Storms KivaLabs, Santa Fe, NM (updated, April 2012) Abstract Evidence supporting cold fusion (LENR) is summarized and requirements an explanation must take into account are justified. A plausible nuclear-active-environment is identified by ruling out various possibilities and by identifying an environment that is common to all methods used to produce LENR. When this environment is combined with a plausible mechanism, many testable predictions result. These insights and proposals are offered to help clarify understanding of LENR and to suggest future studies. FOREWORD My interest in cold fusion began shortly after Pons and Fleischmann announced their claims in 1989, while I was a conventional research scientist working at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) on methods to produce nuclear energy for applications in space. A Ph.D. in radiochemistry from Washington University in St. Louis gave me knowledge about both material behavior and nuclear interaction. I mention this only because “believers” in cold fusion are sometimes identified in critical writings as being ignorant and/or gullible. The only difference between my approach and that of skeptics was my willingness to explore the idea. Since retiring from LANL 22 years ago, I have continued to investigate the subject using laboratory research and to write papers including several scientific reviews and a book. The large collection of references, now nearly 4000 acquired in this effort, was used to create the original LIBRARY on www.LENR-CANR.org. Jed Rothwell keeps this collection of literature up to date and the website functional. Literature on the subject of cold fusion has grown beyond a point where casual reading can lead to useful scientific understanding.

Omega must have been destroyed.’ ‘Unfortunate, wretched creature,’ Borusa sighed. ‘My only hope is that he has found peace at last. A deep brooding silence set up residence in the Gallifreyan computer room. All eyes went to the President as he sat, staring into an unimaginable distance as he saw the inevitable unfold before his eyes. Borusa watched, a helpless spectator, watched as he saw the end of his planet, courtesy of the Matrix. The vision left him, but the President still did not move. He sat, silently planning to save his planet from its fate. Borusa’s eyes burned with determination. He knew what he must do. 1 www.dalesmithonline.com CELESTIAL INTERVENTION He rose quickly, and the others mimicked the action respectfully, concern in their eyes. The President paced towards the door, and turned to face the Castellan before he reached it. ‘Find Maxil,’ the President ordered and the Castellan bowed slightly, showing his understanding. ‘Bring him to me. I shall be in my quarters. I need time to think.’ Borusa left the computer room, hastily followed by the Castellan. Damon went back to his computer as Thalia and Zorac looked at each other in wonder. Borusa tried to think, but he could see no other answers. The same problems kept arising to every solution he tried to find, save for two. For the sake of all Gallifrey he must try.

Leslie McMurtry Swansea University Doctor Who, Steampunk, and the Victorian Christmas “It’s everywhere these days, isn’t it? Anime, Doctor Who, novel after novel involving clockwork and airships.” --Catherynne M. Valente1 Introduction It seems nearly every article or essay on Neo-Victorianism must, by tradition, begin with a defence of the discipline and an explanation of what is currently encompassed by the term— or, more likely, what is not. Since at least 2008 and the launch of the interdisciplinary journal Neo-Victorian Studies, scholars have been grappling with a catch-all definition for the term. Though it is appropriate that Mark Llewellyn should note in his 2008 “What Is Neo-Victorian Studies?” that “in bookstores and TV guides all around us what we see is the ‘nostalgic tug’ that the (quasi-) Victorian exerts on the mainstream,” Imelda Whelehan is right to suggest that the novel is the supreme and legitimizing source2.
