Talk:Meta-Crisis Doctor

Not a fanfic page
Come on folks. I know the TARDIS Wikia's rules are a bit looser than they are at Wikipedia, but still ... the ending of the article turned into complete fanfic. Please remember this is supposed to be an encyclopedia of some sort... 23skidoo 01:52, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree. This isn't fanfiction.net, this is still a Wiki, even if it's not wikipedia.  AnimeNoKyouran 01:54, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure if this comment refers to the TARDIS coral section, but this is a debate, and was mentioned in more than one magazine. Russell T Davies even discussed it in DWM 398, so it is most definately not fan fiction, it refers only to a deleted scene. -Anonymous

It's not refering to the TARDIS coral, it's refering to the original article which I rewrote. It was very Doctor/Rose lovey dovey, (which I guess the whole idea of the Meta-Crisis Doctor kinda is) but I trimmed it down to keep it to the facts of the conversation on Bad Wolf Bay rather than personal thoughts or feelings about what happened. --Sazzrah

He isn't a clone...
Would be good if this article could be renamed something like half-human Doctor or time lord/human hybrid doctor... Since he is not a clone in the slightest and using the term on an encyclopedia only serves to encourage the use of this innacuracy. --Sazzrah

 * Ye, he's not really a clone at all; I don't know why people discuss him as being a clone, he's "unique"!. Anyway we should try to come up with a list of good names because i'm sure it could be named quite a few different things.--88.104.90.198 20:43, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Suggestions

 * Clone Doctor - NO already!
 * Half-Human Doctor
 * Half-Human Tenth Doctor
 * Half-Human Meta-Crisis Doctor
 * Half-Human Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor
 * Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor
 * Meta-Crisis Doctor
 * Ten-and-a-Halfth Doctor

How about Half-Human Doctor (Meta Crisis) to distingish from the 8th doctors claims that he may be half human Dark Lord Xander 01:18, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I think we should ignore the 8th Doctors claims about being half-human; all other doctors claim to a Time Lord. But I think Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor is most accurate, as he's still the tenth Doctor but he's a human Time Lord biological meta-crisis Doctor.-- 12:28, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Seems like a ligical idea Dark Lord Xander 06:59, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I myself would've gone a completely different direction. I would've opted for Doctor (Pete's World) to keep him consistent with other residents of that parallel universe.  That's the simplest, most concise name for who he really is.  The whys and wherefores of him, which this title now stresses, are really beside the point.  A decade from now, when Journey's End isn't so new and shiny, we'll have forgotten almost everything about this one-episode character, but we will remember this:  he's the Doctor that got to live with Rose in Pete's World.

That would work only if the doctor came from petes world as jackie and rose went to live there and funny enough they are called Jackie and Rose if you wanted to go down that road it would have to be Doctor (who now lives in Pete's world) besides he came around from a Meta-crisis were as the other doctors regenerated hence first, second ect Dark Lord Xander 06:21, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Leaviog that to one side for the moment, the MOS says his name is Doctor (Journey's End).  Czech Out  ☎ | ✍  22:20, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Home Planet
Just wondering shouldnt the home planet be Pete's World not just "None" --Bigshowbower 03:15, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

or TARDIS cos he was born in there (I know its not a planit though)

Fanfic-like editing!
I've changed this several times now, removing all the fanfic-esque romantic drivel that keeps getting put in! If anyone is reading this to edit the page again, please ask yourself the following question before you make changes:

"Is what I'm writing FACT or my OPINION?"

If the answer is OPINION, do not write it!

For example, comments like: "Rose and the half-human Doctor look into reach others eyes lovingly knowing they will have a wonderful future together." is OPINION, not fact. Do not put these types of comments in, it's utterly ludicrous. If you want to read stuff like that then go to www.fanfiction.net not wiki! --Sazzrah 20:18, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Russell T. Davies' Book "The Writer's Tale"
Since there are huge sections of that book which cover the events of Journey's End, specifically reasons for re-writing the original drafts of the Bad Wolf Bay scene; I think the following link might be of interest to people here:

http://community.livejournal.com/time_and_chips/5584493.html

This is a livejournal entry I personally wrote for the Doctor/Rose community 'Time & Chips', which contains the scripts for the Bad Wolf Bay scene typed out in full, along with emails written by Russell T. Davies and Benjamin Cook. It might help clear up some of the confusion about the TARDIS coral canonicity too. I'm no pro on editing Wikis so I will leave this information in someone elses more capable hands! --Sazzrah 20:44, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
