As these things go, this isn't completely silly. Although I think it's worth pointing out that Flux doesn't confirm that the Doctor originated in another universe: it only confirmed that that was a possibility.
This rings like a triumph of circumstance, but being able to breathe life into everything would rather create the question of why there have been so many—or indeed any—deaths in the series. In my book any amendment to or re-interpretation of the Doctor's character has to be consistent with his character in The Aztecs. Because IMO that's the character at their purest. It's part of why, to me, The Fires of Pompeii is such a dismal failure. Being the God of Life would make a mockery of the debate of whether to prevent the human sacrifices or not.
@FH2104, but our hero being a god (not strictly a god of a specific thing)…thoughts?
@Kevin 'Chalky' Kaiba well they may already be Narlythotep and as one of the founding three of Gallifrey as the other they are as close to a god in Doctor Who as you can get. Though by the doctors admission they are more akin to an archangel, once even claiming to be Gabriel himself, (and all other mentions about Gabriel are comparing him to the Doctor.) he was also present at the birth of Jesus and the Immaculate Conception so make of that what you will.
If he is god of life it would less bring people back to life and more creating life.
@Kevin 'Chalky' Kaiba In science-fiction "god" doesn't have the same meaning as it does in the real world. It just means something incredibly powerful, that certain people could interpret as divine. Going right back to "Orb" in An Unearthly Child, which for any slow-wits is just the sun. So anything could feasibly be called a god, and there's no reason that shouldn't also include the Doctor. I don't particularly like the theory and I certainly don't share it, but the crucial thing is that it's not really much new.
What do you think?
