Talk:Gallifreyan

Dr. Corpuscle: Regarding the claim that all Gallifreyans have the capacity for regeneration - I don't have any evidence to back me up, but I was under the impression that regeneration was a discovery of Rassilon's, or at least made around Rassilon's time, and that its use is one of the things that defines the difference between a Time Lord and a Gallifreyan. It's entirely possible that I am mistaken, or that I got this information from a noncanonical source (possibly the Doctor Who role-playing game.)

Well, the only only example I can think of is from the novelisation of Underworld I was reading lately. It says "The regeneration method of the Time Lords was largely a natural one. A combination of genetic coding..." Again, that's just about a Time Lord, but I think Time Lords and Gallifreyans are still the same species. Of course, I'm not sure how canonical you want to count the novelisations. Azes13 10:13, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
