Talk:Ninth Doctor

Half-Human
The Ninth Doctor is half human?--GingerM 15:48, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

I'd be inclined to say no. It's obviously a carry over from the Eighth Doctor. But it's never stated on screen that specifically the 9th Doctor is half human. So unless anyone can cite a source stating that the 9th Doctor is half human... I don't think it's enough to say that just because the 8th (may have been) it doesn't mean the 9th is, after all with the Time War plus regeneration anything could have been removed. --Tangerineduel 17:16, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

It's a problem which fans have argued about - if the Eighth Doctor was half-Human, were the rest? So until a solution is found, people will continue arguing. Personally, I believe that if one was half-Human then the rest should be too, and if the Eighth Doctor had only recently regenerated, how would he already know if he was half-Human if the rest weren't, but I'm not an expert on Gallifreyan regeneration, so... 17:21, 6 February 2007 (UTC)


 * a topic this general probably belongs on the forums, but I would just put down half-human for the Eighth and for the rest, no half-human. it looks really bizarre (for me, anyway) to see that the bio for earlier Doctors. Unnatural History, I think, claimed that the Doctor had a mermaid, for a mother, if you can believe that, but I guess it addressed the whole half-human thing. though I haven't actually read it. (a popular fan theory also says that when he turned human in Human Nature, some of the human DNA stayed with him, but the book came out before the TV movie. --***Stardizzy*** 17:41, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
