This is a page is for every theory that involves characters who are actually Time Lords/Ladies. Contains spoilers!!
Mary Poppins is a Time Lady
- She arrives mysteriously, causes havoc, fixes the situation, and then leaves again.
- Her bag, people! Her bag! It's bigger on the inside! And we know that the Doctor's TARDIS is only stuck as a police box because it has a broken chameleon circuit; why couldn't a TARDIS with a working circuit look like an ordinary bag?
- She is "practically perfect in every way." Doesn't that have the ring of Time Lord arrogance?
- Bert is totally one of her former companions. He can sense when she is about to return. Probably hears her TARDIS whoosh.
- Unless he's another Time Lord who just kicks around on earth all the time. Mary and Bert for the Doctor's parents?
- Tea parties on the ceiling, or disturbance in the Earth's gravitational pull? Entering a chalk drawing, or a rift between realities that she must seal?
- Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious - Made up word, or alien dialect?
- Alien planet.
- Her real name. Her grandfather thought it was too long so he called her Susan for short. Later on she changed it.
- Her love for tea! Good cup of tea! Super-heated infusion of free-radicals and tannin, just the thing for healing the synapses... Do you realise just how many tea parties the woman goes to?
- In the books the children experience trips around the world with a magic compass, a Christmas shopping trip with a star named Maia from the Pleiades cluster of the Taurus constellation, a circus in the sky, befriend a statue that has come to life, a visit to cats on a different planet, and a Halloween dance party with their shadows as well as others.
- She can interact with an image in the mirror as if it had an independent existence. The Doctor could also do this; he trapped an enemy inside a mirror.
Batman is a Time Lord.
This explains his ridiculous number of areas of expertise, his physical superiority (which cannot realistically be explained by "he works out"), his gadgetry, and his intellect. He frequently displays knowledge of meditation techniques similar to those used by The Doctor. He has been active in Gotham since the 1940's, with his regenerations being the reason his personality is so different from era to era. His appearance changes due to artistic reinterpretation are also because of this (though there is little appearance variation compared to the Doctor, it should be pointed out that not all Time Lords' regenerations vary as wildly as the Doctor's). Over the years, he has had the following regenerations:
- 1st: Gun-toting psycho vigilante. (1939)
- 2nd: Takes on Dick Grayson as companion, becomes more of a father figure, lightens up a bit and has more science-fictiony adventures. (1940-1963)
- 3rd: Lightens up too much, becomes campy and eccentric. Spends most his time using Gallifreyan tech to design absurd bat gadgets — Bat-Dalek repellent, anyone? Also makes the utility belt "bigger on the inside". (1964-1969)
- 4th: Regenerates into the dark, Gothic horror-influenced Batman of The Seventies.
- 5th: Grim Post-Frank Miller / Post Crisis Batman.
- 6th: Douchebag late '90s/early 00s Batman. This is the only one we see him regenerate into, during the Knightfall storyline. Shondra Kinsolving didn't heal him, she just helped him regenerate.
- 7th: Post-Infinite Crisis Batman.
Amongst timelords, he is known as The Bat, or possibly the Knight. Or maybe The Bachelor (after all, if we have a Doctor and a Master, there's only one degree level we're missing...). Robin, Alfred
et al. are his companions; the Batcave, and possibly all of Wayne Manor, is his TARDIS.
- He can't be The Bachelor, that's James Bond.
- What about The Associate?
- Ra's al Ghul, himself a blatant candidate for Time Lord-hood (perhaps he's Batman's version of The Master?) refers to Batman as "The Detective". Perhaps that's his official Gallifreyan title...
The Joker is also a Time Lord; he has a similar relationship with Batman as the Master has with the Doctor, and he regenerates specifically to match his nemesis. (This also explains why the Joker's never been executed — he'd just regenerate.)
- Yes, he was (Detective #64, "The Joker Walks the Last Mile"). Yes, he did (the same story)
- The Joker's regenerations are more markedly distinct than Batman's: Caesar Romero, Jack Nicholson, Mark Hamill, and Heath Ledger are at least as different as The Doctor's different iterations.
- The Joker was nearly killed off a couple of times early on, once dying, being buried, and then being revived by henchmen. This one resulted in his later change from creepy premeditated killer with a weird face to psycho with a series of less-deadly gimmicks. Coincidence?
(This theory is based solely on the fact that in one issue of
JLA: Classified, a Dalek can be seen in the Batcave trophy room.)
- Going on into the "Batcave is his TARDIS" idea, it's entirely possible that the grandfather clock in Stately Wayne Manor doesn't hide the entrance to the Batcave, but contains the Batcave — that is, the grandfather clock is the TARDIS from the outside, and the Batcave is its interior.
- Does this make the Batman of Zurr-en-Arrh his version of the Valeyard?
An interesting post-script to this theory - Batman currently IS a literal Time Lord in the comics - at least in the current storyline, he's been blown backward into pre-history by Darkseid, and is rumored to be repeatedly reincarnating his way back to the future, living multiple lives. More solidly, he has
definitely left at least some evidence behind for people in the present to find, with the intention of letting them know he is still alive in the past, so they may potentially find someone with time travel powers (and those people definitely exist within the DCU), to return him to his own time.
Chiefly, it explains how he's been in action for so many years while remaining young, and why his appearance constantly changes. Also, why he's
The Ace. And hey, he
is British. (As a Time Lord, he refers to himself as The Bachelor. Which means we now have The Doctor, The Master, and The Bachelor—can The Associate be far behind?)
- Blofeld is also a time lord (plastic surgery? Regeneration, more likely). Perhaps even the Master, or, barring that, the War Chief, if those two are different persons...
- It's not unknown for Time Lords to suffer amnesia after regenerating. This explains why Craig's Bond is at the beginning of his career, not realizing he's already been a 00. Given his new, more unpredictable personality, M isn't keen on letting him know.
- In "The End of Time", Timothy Dalton plays the Lord President of the Time Lords, who somehow survived the Time Wars. This speaks for itself.
- Not just any Time Lord either. He was Rassilon, THE Time Lord, pratically everything on Gallifrey was named after that guy
- Okay, here's my theory. Rassilon was NOT sealed inside a tomb for his crimes. The stone casket we see in "The Five Doctors" does NOT contain Rassilon's body, and the holographic image of him that appears is only a projection based on data from the Matrix. Rassilon was in fact exiled to Earth in the early 21st Century with his memory wiped, and given the identity of a British secret agent named James Bond. He may have even been turned into a human using a Chameleon Arc (though if this is the case, his ability to regenerate must have something to do with Rassilon's incredible power still lingering even in human form). At the time, he looked like Daniel Craig, which explains why the events of Casino Royale could be considered his first assignment. A few trace elements of his ruthlessness still remained, which explains his brutality in this incarnation. After an indeterminate amount of time and number of regenerations, the Time Lords decided to send him back in time to the 1960s to stop Blofeld (who, as we already know, is also a Time Lord). The rest of his timeline can be explained by the notion that the Time Lords sent him ahead and/or behind a couple of years depending on the urgency of a particular assignment. This explains why he appeared to revert to his previous appearance between On Her Majesty's Secret Service and Diamonds Are Forever - Diamonds are Forever actually takes place BEFORE OHMSS in Rassilon's subjective timeline, since the Time Lords were keen to stop Blofeld/War Chief from prematurely advancing Earth's technology to orbital weaponry. He just can't remember being yanked out of time to do it. Similarly, the Brosnan films take place immediately after the Moore films from his perspective - the Time Lords urgently needed him to stop, erm...the Korean guy from Die Another Day, or something. Then, he is sent back to the 80s, where he regenerates into his darkest incarnation - the Dalton version of Bond/Rassilon. The violence of License to Kill stems directly from Rassilon beginning to remember his past self owing to the psychic shockwave created by the Time War. Finally, in their desperation, the Time Lords extract Rassilon from Earth, restore his memory, and declare him Lord President of Gallifrey.
- Clearly the Ninth Doctor and the Craig Bond/Rassilon have had dealings◊ in the past◊...
Holmes is a Time Lord, and 221B is his TARDIS.
The house number is 221B because the TARDIS is a more-advanced model than
the one we're more familiar with, so its chameleon circuit and perception filter work properly. What could be more effective camouflage than becoming a house in the middle of an already-established street? The perception filter keeps anyone from noticing the extra house that suddenly appears one day and, even if someone did notice, this is England. No-one's going to be so rude as to mention anything.
- Mrs Hudson is the anthropomorphic interface with whom the occupants of the TARDIS can interact, rather than running about the console like a lunatic when there are fewer than the recommended six pilots on board.
- Holmes did die at the Reichenbach Falls, and regenerated. He was better at controlling his regenerations than some, but due to the trauma he suffered amnesia, in a manner similar to that of the Eighth Doctor. During the hiatus, he traveled around as reported in the books, until some unknown event caused him to regain his memories.
- Or, after dying and regenerating at the Falls, Holmes looks completely different and no one would recognize him. Sometime during The Great Hiatus, Holmes dies again, and regenerates into a close approximation of his old form.
- He regenerated into Mycroft Holmes. Any meetings between the two are "Five Doctors"-style team-ups.
- "Holmes retired to bee-keeping on the Sussex downs" is code for "Holmes can't settle at any one place for too long in case he blows his cover and gets the CIA crashing down on his head like a ton of bricks."
- When Holmes did leave, he took Watson with him. The healing nanogenes and advanced medical supplies in Holmes' TARDIS means that Watson's lifespan is extended to match Holmes', and they have crime-solving adventures across time and space forever more. I need to believe this.
- This troper is forever in debt to the above troper for putting it so perfectly. You have made a troper happy.
- You made two tropers happy. :D
- This troper has adopted this theory as her personal canon.
- So did Basil of Baker street Accidentally look into the heart of 221B and "imprint" Doctordonna style on its owner?
- This also explains why Holmes lives in a house on Baker Street which does not and never has existed; when he left, it dematerialized, and the Perception Filter meant that everyone just gradually forgot about it.
Sherlock Holmes is the original Danuve
L and the original Eraldo Coil are both Time Lords and detectives. Sherlock Holmes is both a Time Lord and a detective ergo Sherlock Holmes is Danuve.
Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes are all of fiction's detectives.
They are both Time Lords. They are both analytical geniuses. Those who are more active are Sherlock, the armchair sleuth types are Mycroft. They recently met up again after the time war, Sherlock is Adrian Monk, Mycroft is Ambrose and Ambrose's house is their shared TARDIS.
- But, the original L, Eraldo Coil, and Danuve were active at the same time. This means that Sherlock and Mycroft are Time Lord cardinals and one of those three is a composite of a projection from each of them. Therefore, L is Mycroft, Danuve is Sherlock, and Eraldo Coil is Mycroft+ Sherlock.
- Is that your final answer? Maybe you should go with Mycroft regenerating into Dr. Gregory House.
Moriarty is the Master
As above, either the Master used the watch-trick on himself during this time, or he got bored with screwing with the Doctor, and decided to see what's so great about the humans that the Doctor loves, and decided to settle down in London, when a certain detective caught his interest and decided to toy with Holmes until he's ready to deal with The Doctor again.
- This can also explain Holmes' remark about Moriarty looking different, the timelord comes back to that time frame in different regenerations because he has fun with messing with Holmes.
Jamie is a Time Lord and the workshop is his TARDIS
- And his previous regeneration was Theodore Roosevelt, which explains both the 'stache and the numerous odd jobs he's done over the years.
Someone in the I.J.B.M page for Mythbusters wondered how the camera crew never accidentally filmed another build progressing in the background. Another suggested that it's because Jamie is a Time Lord and the workshop is a TARDIS. There's other evidence to support Jamie as a Time Lord - he has had many more jobs than most people could fit into a normal lifetime.
- Sadly, interviews give explanations. There isn't just one studio, there are multiple. M5 is the main studio used by Jamie and Adam; the Build Team uses M7; and there used to be an M6 (but it shared a building with a Professional Photographer, and having explosions on one side of a wall and people taking family photos on the other doesn't go over well). And there are a few times where it will be mentioned that other myth tests are going on. That said... JAMIE IS TOTALLY A TIME LORD. Oh hells yes. And Buster is his companion (Friendly Auton?).
- It would make entirely too much sense if Buster is in fact the ruined remains of Kamelion, which Time Lord Jamie discovered in his travels and tinkered with (or perhaps Jamie knows the Doctor, who gave him the remains knowing that Jamie was far better with that particular facet of technology than the Doctor himself was).
This would explain his lack of name. It's possible the whole hospital is his TARDIS. His partners are probably Troy, the baker dude, and his little person friend. Or possibly the Brain Trust.
- That does make some sense. The protagonist of Doctor Who is known only as the Doctor; the Janitor is known only as the Janitor. Also, the Janitor is shown to hold secret dreams of being a doctor; but it's possible that what he really wants is to be the Doctor, because the Doctor has his own show and the Janitor is stuck as a supporting character. Maybe the reason the Janitor is so bitter is that the Doctor is an old friend of his and has a greater role and cooler nickname. It might also explain the weirdness with the fairytale episode having Kelso still work there when he quit, and TCW and Dr. Miller just disappearing - the Janitor unintentionally retconned them out of existence when fiddling about with time.
- But if the hospital was a TARDIS, he wouldn't need to caulk the windows to make it a pirate ship; he could just fly to the eighteenth-century Caribbean and disable the chameleon circuits after it changed.
- This could explain how Laverne mysteriously came back to life with a different name. She and Jan Itor could be in league. After she died, Jan Itor brought her back in his Tardis Hospital.
- His key works with everything that enters or is near the hospital because it's a TARDIS key.
