Oh, something I am glad about (it's ruined five seconds later, naturally, but NEVER MIND) is that we've not gone back to pre-Invasion of Time Gallifrey, hurrah (clip from EoT II, yo) and that the Time Lords are not all evil but have, as per usual, forgotten that whoever gets Teh Power on their planet goes bugnuts like a fucking crazy dude. (And did they get desperate enough that they had to go find themselves a Pythia or something? Also, I will be so, so happy if I never hear the word prophecy in Doctor Who ever again.)

Course, the nice clip's CUNNINGLY RUINED because women who express opinions MUST DIE OBV. Is there actually a single woman-with-power in the past four years of this series who hasn't ended up very dead? (Plus there's a little extra pain as she's really awfully Romana-like, arg.)

(Is that a black woman in there too? I can't quite be sure, but that would be the first non-white Time Lady if it is. NO LINES FOR HER O COURSE.)

I HOPE THAT GIZMO IS THE HAND OF OMEGA BTW.

My vote is for the gizmo being the Glove/Gauntlet of Rassilon, due to the Hand of Omega being a glowy coffin.

(Also, I refuse to believe dead!Time Lady is Romana, mainly because she's sensible enough to have gotten the hell off Gallifrey after Bondjamesbond deposed her.)

HIDING IN A GLOWY COFFIN. I bet it can make itself look like a hand though. I WANT MY LOLS. But I will tots accept it being called the Whatever of Rassilon.

Romana was stuck on that asteroid with Narvin, Brax and Leela, yo.

[biichan.livejournal.com]

Exactly! Bondjamesbond (which is what we have decided to call The Narrator at our house) probably just vaporized Flavia or something.

[calapine.livejournal.com]

I LIKED FLAVIA.

[biichan.livejournal.com]

Sorry! I was trying to think of Time Ladies with names that weren't Romana or Darkel (who is totes Lucy, I agree with LizBee on that.) :(

[calapine.livejournal.com]

Thalia...Rodan...Rani...whatshername in Goth Opera. I LIKE THEM ALL THOUGH. Wah.

[lizbee.livejournal.com]

Romana was stuck on that asteroid with Narvin, Brax and Leela, yo.

THEY ARE HAVING COMEDY ADVENTURES AND SEX.

[eviltigerlily.livejournal.com]

This is my canon too. And eventually they'll come back and fix this sorry mess. Oh, and you forgot K-9.

[nostalgia-lj.livejournal.com]

Romana is in E-Space, la la la la la.

[calapine.livejournal.com]

Or that.

[neadods.livejournal.com]

And she's going to reappear sometime in Moffat's reign and clean up whatever Gallifreyan mess that RTD leaves us. That's canon in my head until Moffat leaves.

I thought it was a very pale, old black man.

I'm convinced that Claire Bloom is Romana.

*hopes*

[lizbee.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure I saw a young, female Asian Time Lady.

And yes, the Oblig Dead Woman was very Romana-like, but I choose to believe she was, erm, someone else. Someone we never heard of before and with whom we have no emotional connection. SO THERE.

(I really should finish the fic where Romana is deposed, and spends her time playing chess with Seven and Ten and wondering if she's up to destroying Gallifrey.)

Has anyone decided yet that Timothy Dalton is Brax?

Has anyone decided yet that Timothy Dalton is Brax?

OH GOD THAT COULD MAKE SO MUCH SENSE. Obviously he ended up regenerating somehow, at which point Pandora and his evil side totally took over and he left Romana, Leela, and Narvin in the hollow asteroid (at least I think it was hollow) while he went to Gallifrey and became Lord High President of Batshit.

[http://users.livejournal.com/blue_jackal_/]

Oh thank goodness someone else has also wondered if it's Brax! I wondered the very same thing myself....PLUS...I seem to recall the 10th Doctor saying to Martha that he had (past tense) a brother.

Why bring that up if it's not significant?

[eviltigerlily.livejournal.com]

Never. Brax is a little more subtle then that.

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

I'd LOL like John Simm if it was the Hand of Omega - but I could live with the Glove of Rassilon too... ;D

Yeah, Romana was well out of there and working on her secret plan to totally screw over Mr Bond and his cronies when they try to end time, or whatever it is they're doing. A plan involving Wilf, Ten, the Master, Barack Obama and lots of other stuff; I think Seven may have advised her on it...it has his chess master's fingerprints all over it.

And I also think Romana is the woman on Wilf's telly.

I'm going to be proved so wrong about all of this come Friday - damn you, Rusty! :D

[neadods.livejournal.com]

Also, I will be so, so happy if I never hear the word prophecy in Doctor Who ever again.

It's not just me, then. Good.

[calapine.livejournal.com]

It's my least favourite thing in so many fantasy novels, omg. GET OUT OF MA SCIFFY.

[neadods.livejournal.com]

I don't mind the odd prophecy here and there, but right now prophets are like vampires - more numerous than cockroaches and about as welcome.

[syzygy-lj.livejournal.com]

I HOPE THAT GIZMO IS THE HAND OF OMEGA BTW.

My guess is it's the Resurrection Gauntlet from Torchwood. Mainly because I think RTD would rather insert something he invented to show how CLEVER and EPIC he is.

[abates.livejournal.com]

Bit confused by obligatory dead woman. Why is she not wearing a funny hat? She's not dressed like a proper Time Lord. Maybe they thought if she was wearing a hat, people wouldn't know she was a woman?

[calapine.livejournal.com]

The women on Gally have generally avoided the daft hats - Flavia, Thalia, Rodan, all sans Daft Hat.

The moment she started speaking and what she said made all kinds of sense I realized she was doomed. GRRR. :(:(:(

I want Time Ladies of Excellence in 2010! And women of all kinds all over the new Doctor Who. Er, that came out sounding a lot dirtier than I meant it to. :)

I will be so, so happy if I never hear the word prophecy in Doctor Who ever again.

THIS. I had 'orrible flashbacks to that damned irritating Dalek prophet and just... DO NOT WANT.

For being so progressive and above it, RTD's awfully obsessed with religion.
