What was that again?  Wasn't that where the Doctor got into the Kartz &
Reimer time machine and said that he'd have to "imprint" it before it
could be properly used, and used the opportunity to sabotage it?  I'd
got the impression (my memory is very hazy, though) that he'd just made
that up as an excuse to get in it and sabotage it.  Or are you talking
about something else completely?

Actually I'd had a similar idea: what if the Master finally manages to
steal one of the Doctor's lives (but only one - his thirteenth) and
regenerates into... The Valeyard!  Since its the Doctor's life, what the
Master said from Trial would be completely true - he's the Doctor's
final regeneration, but with the Master's spirit.

they're "good enough".
But enough of this petty bickering... About that Doctor Who crossover

I concur.
I don't agree with this, however.  The Gallifreyans were one of the first
humanoids to develop in this galaxy (possibly the universe), and existed long
before humans evolved on Earth.  I do think that Gallifreyans were originally
"human-like", however, and through genetical engineering improved their
bodies.

Write your reply.

assistant: That would still depend on your outlook. He was quite kind to Ace
(although he was trying to "steal" her from the Doctor as a companion),
and he was probably evil incarnate to the other side in the conflict
during which he was selling nuclear arms (The Time Meddler).
The Monk meddles with Doctor's time line to show him how it feels.
Though some of the plans involve the deaths of others, those are not his
goals, just unfortunate by products.
At the same time, in Blood Heat the Doctor has to "destroy" an alternate
timeline to restore thingd to normal. Ace and Benny view this as
wholesale genocide and it is a sticking point between them the Doctor
for a time after that, whereas to the Doctor the timeline and it's
inhabitants are inconsequential as they never should have existed in the
first place.
The Monk views bystanders with the same slant. It's the typical Time
Lord disdain for lesser races.

it depends on which author you're reading. Some say Mortimus, Magnus,

I liked Blood Heat a lot. The NA's are really hit or miss. I find I like
the more recent ones more than some of the first novels. The author I
consistently like the best is Paul Cornell. That's hard to say as the
TARDIS gets damaged a lot in the NA's 8-). Actually it's not one of Kate

it.

I think that K9 became a bit like the Sonic Screwdriver; the writers
had no clear idea of what his limitations were. Thus, he is
superpowerful in State Of Decay, Pirate Planet, Nightmare Of Eden, but
gets disabled easily in stories where he isn't required, like Full
Cicle, Image of the Fendahl, Leisure Hive, Meglos, etc.
Then again, maybe he just appealed to the parrot's better nature? 8-)

Write your reply.

assistant: Hey Michael!
Sorry to jump in, but this subject interests me. There has never been
any evidence to support this, unless you assume that the Doctor's
interest in Earth is evidence.
It is quite silly that being half-human would never have come up
before now, and even sillier considering that the Master didn't know,
given their history together. Sutekth would have found out when he
scanned the Doctor's mind in Pyramids Of Mars, the Master would have
found out when he stole the Doctor's Bio-Data extract in Deadly
Asssasin.
What I like about Dr Who is that the Doctor (until the Doctor Who
movie) is an alien, and someone who has a completely alien philosophy
- someone who refuses to be a party to changing history in the Aztecs,
who refuses to go back in time to save Adric, and who doesn't notice
when his female companions change into skimpier outfits (quite a few
times during the Davidson era).
There is a New Adventure called Just War, in which the Doctor comes
into his companion's room when she is naked in bed. She thinks to
herself that it used to annoy her, until she realised that he didn't
even notice her lack of clothes.
