I cannot believe that Beeb are sacrificing Doctor Who for the sake of Eurovision! What is that about????? However, I really wanted to air my ponderings about the Face of Boe's final words to the Doctor. Who was he referring to? My friend Matt reckons it's the Dalek. I disagree, but then I haven't seen any of Doctor Who confidential.
Based on my knowledge of previous Timelords, I would suggest that it could possibly be the following:
The Master: The infamour renegade Timelord, last seen being swallowed by the Eye of Harmony in the TARDIS by Paul McGann's 8th Doctor. The TARDIS gave a sort of belch, and we presumed he was dead, but maybe he wasn't? He defied death several times. And he definitely wouldnt have gone to fight in the last time war, he was far too mean and selfish.
Romana: Tom Baker's 4th Doctor Companion, a fellow timelord, who was left at the Warrior's Gate in E-space with K-9 mark-2, after the High council of Gallifrey had ordered her back to Gallifrey and she didnt want to go. I didn't think she could get back from E-space, so did she go and fight in the Timewar, and would the Doctor be able to sense her if she was still in E-space. After all, we haven't heard anything about her. And there are clips of the Doctor getting married. Could this be a bid to restart the Timelord race?
The Meddling Monk: Don't know much about him except that he was also a renegade timelord, who I have heard mention of in various Doctor episodes, I think he was in Jon Pertwee's Doctor's death episode, Planet of the Spiders, but not sure.
The Rani: Another renegade timelord who I am sure is far too selfish and powermad to have fought in the Timewar. Last time we saw her was when she was hung up by the Tetraps in 'Time and the Rani' when she tried to doublecross them. Could it be her?
Rassilon: The greatest Timelord ever, who had eras, seals, rings, and rods, and coronet's named for him. He didn't seem to ever die, having stopped President Borusa's power-mad attempts in the 5-Doctors. He was the greatest timelord ever. And they say that Rassilon can never really die.
Captain Jack: he's not a timelord I'm sure, but he was a time-agent, and we know he crops up again.
I think I'd like it to be Romana. Even before the Face of Boe thing, I meant to write in to Russel T Grant and say "But what about Romana??? She might still be alive, but trapped in E-space still!!!". But, hehas genius tendencies, so it will probably shock us all!
I'd also like an episode where they explore the TARDIS. Am sure that the younger generation would like to see that. I really liked the episodes where they were in the TARDIS in the old series: The Invasion of Time, Inside the Spaceship, Castrovalva and the such like. Maybe the Master could make a reappearance in the TARDIS. That would be exciting!
Looking forward to revelations!
Must go to bed, got to finish all my work before Tuesday's coursework deadlines! Yuck!
