Talk:The Doctor (The Brain of Morbius)

Proposed deletion
There is no reference, direct or indirect, to The Brain of Morbius in the audio Cold Fusion. In fact, the minor reference from the original novel was removed for the audio adaptation. There is certainly nothing in the way of confirmation that the faces in the mind-bending sequence are pre-Loom incarnations of the Doctor. 04:11, January 12, 2017 (UTC)
 * I think the point being made here is that Patience's husband is specified as the Doctor, and one of the incarnations of her husband is given a description matching that of one of the Morbius Doctors. --Pluto2 (talk) 04:13, January 12, 2017 (UTC)


 * Not really. The audio is no more specific than the book. The description of a dark colored beard with lighter hair is both 1) present in the original novel and 2) not enough evidence for this claim. 04:18, January 12, 2017 (UTC)


 * I don't know anything about Cold Fusion, but I'm fairly certain that there's a throw-away line in Original Sin that said that the Morbius Doctors were past incarnations... CoT     ?  04:23, January 12, 2017 (UTC)


 * Here's the sole reference to Morbius in Original Sin:
 * Hanging onto Morbius's mind-bending equipment while his past lives were dragged from him, one by one...
 * Also not definitive. That's an accurate description of what happens whether the other faces are his or not. 04:34, January 12, 2017 (UTC)


 * Surely if they weren't his, it'd have said so? --Pluto2 (talk) 04:53, January 12, 2017 (UTC)

Really? It might be a technically accurate interpretation, but it seems a bit biased to say that the Doctor could just be referring to a small portion of the mind battle. To give context for the quote, the Doctor is recounting various ways his mind may have been damaged in the past. Why would the Seventh Doctor think that just the first bit was damaging when Tom Baker is clearly in pain all the way through? Also, "one by one" isn't a very good choice of words for a number as small as 3. CoT    ?  05:01, January 12, 2017 (UTC)

The audio adaption of Cold Fusion says that Patience is the Doctor's wife in this universe. Currently the redirect for Fifth Doctor (The Brain of Morbius) is Patience's wife. --Borisashton ☎  10:28, January 12, 2017 (UTC)
