From All Of Time And Space
(And Imaginings)
Why???
His eccentricity
His TARDIS -- The flying glass elevator
His manner of dress including a chocolate hat and boots that didn't melt (60 degree body temp?)
His flute
His multi-lingual-ness
His caring for less aggressive creatures (The Oompa Loompas)
His TARDIS -- A hot air baloon and his doorway through apparently solid walls
His eccentricities
His human cronies were called ... The Eccentrics
His intimate knowledge of the Past, Present, and Future
His devices (television ring) (gold transmuting toy chicken) etc.
His vast storehouse of knowledge of the Time(s) after his own Victorian times.
His Victorian dress
His Time machine (almost identical to the Keeper of Traken's)
His CD Roms!!!
Far ... Far ... too many reasons to go into here. Just trust me on this one! Although when I first introduced youngest son Russ to the good doctor he turned to middle son Chris and said: "Who's the English dude (Doc #4) dressed up ... and acting up ... just like Mom?"
So ... help me out here, already!
5. Captain Bird's Eye from the TV Series of the same name
His change of appearance -- much younger.
His very different personality.
6. Moorcock's Elric
His trip to war torn Viet Nam.
His partner (like the Doc's Frobishier) took the form of an M-16.
7. Star Trek's "Q"
They have the Arrogance of Time Lords.
They have an infinate gift for pretention.
They meddle even though they are not supposed to ... and sometimes (like the Master) just for their own GOOD.
Though they don't seem to need TARDIS'es ... perhaps it is just because they have evolved beyond the need of them. Next Generation Time Lords?
8. Santa Clause --- (Ho, Ho, Ho, Merry Christmas Everyone)
He "stops time" to make it completely around the world in one night.
Reindeers fly? Just a living element of his TARDIS.
He can be at all the Malls (and all the other personal appearances) at the same time because those are just earlier regenerations.
Or maybe he jumps in his trusty TARDIS and flits around to all the different places.
Just like the Doctor, he is always good, and is always being nice to people.
9. Madonna!!!
Okay, okay, I know. But love her or hate her, I think she's a Time Lord/Lady because of:
Her numerous regenerations.
Her quirky (ahem!) dress sense.
The lyrics to her song "Ray of Light" (it could be any Time Lady's theme song).
She traveled back in time for the movies "Shanghai Surprise" and "Evita."
She visited an alternate reality in "Dick Tracy."
She's always switching her companions!!!
Even if she hasn't conquered time travel yet, I'm sure it's in the cards.
10. Jackie Chan
In "Operation Condor," starring an unusually long scarf
In "Armour of the Gods," constantly popping candies
In "WHO Am I?" shouting "WHOOOOOAMMMIIII!!!"
Both Chan and Doc #3 known to apologize to fallen foes after beating the heck out of them.
In "Supercop," he even had a female sidekick, who complained a lot!
11. Mommies
Mommies have learned to manipulate Time and Space to be at the right place at the right time ... eventhough their vehicles are sometimes unreliable.
Mommies seem to have an uncanny knack for knowing what is about to happen.
Mommies seem to know when something is afoot -- even when they are in another room!
Mommies seem to have the ability to salvage what seems like hopeless situations.
Mommies are useful in settling disputes between rival factions ... even those that would cross a Rabbi's eyes.
Mommies' vans ARE bigger on the inside ... how else could you explain a first aid kit ... munchies ... puzles and games ... yo-yo's, sonic screwdrivers ... two baby car seats ... wipers ... roll of paper towels ... seven stuffed animals ... three travel pillows ... two blankets ... and still room for seven cub scouts and all their stuff for a week-end outting.
Mommies vans also have a viewing window, just like the TARDIS, so you can see what's outside before venturing forth!
Mommies travel back in time, when they tell stories, and pull out old records to listen to or picture albums to look at.
Mommies wear out-of-date fashions.
Mommies sometimes "regenerate" with hair tints ... face-lifts ... weight changes ... etc.
12. Mary Poppins
She has an ability to read minds (as shown by the Eighth Doctor)
A transcendental hand bag
Obviously her Umbrella is some form of TARDIS
So much mystery about her past.
13. Her Fourth Grade School Teacher -- living somewhere in America
She is highly gifted in advanced mathmatics andconstantly gave her class mind-bending logic problemswhich she found "fun".(#7)
She has an oddly profound knowledge of everything, even the most trivial ofsubjects, and is a very engaging person to talk with.(#4)
She has an odd sense of humor.
Her room is decorated with disney and MickeyMouse-related memorabilia. She also enjoys wearing Mickey Mouse related items.
Her book bag is adorned with non other than the face of Einstein.
She believes that in her past life she was an Indian(as she has some Indian lineage).
Eccentric dress includes the frequent wearing of acoat(she has many) which she has made out of colorfulindian blankets and rugs, even in the warmer months.(#6)
Physically, she was pretty when I knew her, in her later 40's, andhad nicely graying hair and very active.(#3)
She appears to own two TARDISes. The first one is hertransdimensional car, disguised as an old towncar. Ihave made many a journey to the car, fetching largeboxes full of her supplies and gadgets which she hadabsent-mindedly forgotten to bring withher--questioning how she could ever fit all that junkinto a car already so cluttered with odds and ends.
The second one is her house. She often rambled onabout how the geometry of her house was quite strangeand how her guests were always astounded at the factthat a house which looked of average size on theoutside could possibly seem so large on the inside,with multiple levels and such a confusing andstrangely laid labrinyth of floor plans on the inside.
And best of all ... she went back to school in order to finish up her education for a few PhD degrees, so now she really IS referred to as "Doctor"!
