"Oh, I'm much more than just a Time Lord". But I don't think they had
any ideas about where this might lead. I think it's mystery for it's own
sake, with nothing behind it. Rather like the whole Ace arc (not wanting
to open all that up again). I think if there had been an idea behind it
all we would have heard about it by now.
Of course we know that the Doctor is from a good family (in Galifrian
terms) allowing him to rise to presidency. Perhaps this "house" that he
belonged to has made him a bit special. Clearly not all Time Lords are
equal.

"Like, duh, dude,"?????
I think that you are allowing this issue to be over simplified. This is
about canon.
I think that the power of automatically understanding and speaking other
languages lies with the TARDIS rather than the Doctor. And this ability
is not too difficult to emulate for other advanced creatures. The Ice
Warriors, Cybermen and Daleks have no problems making themselves
understood to other beings.
Perhaps the TARDIS can detect languages used within a certain radius and
automatically give them to those who travel with her. So that SJS  could
converse with the slaves on Metabilis 3 after the TARDIS had been there
but the Doc and co had to let the Rills decode their language before
they could converse.
I think that it is important to find an explanation for this that works.

 I've been going nuts buying the BBC Books adventures of the Eighth Doc

the Doctor has had, they all thought of him as a good friend and nothing

 The Doctor is probably aware of Sam's feelings towards him (he rarely
misses anything) but so far he's playing the innocent.

      The truth is that the funding stoped because PBS gave all there money
to Liberal Arts presentations that are just blashpemy and sickness excused as
art or a political show.
   Now they obviously dont have enough money left for "Dr Who" something the
