assistant: "The Founding Three", declared Maureen Goldman from the Vogon ship:
Well, not in humans... but come to think of it that's a perfectly good
way of describing how he changes - his genetic code is rearranged.  And
I suppose if the Gallifreyan and Human races are related, there would be
a genetic marker for which race you were, so that if that particular
portion of his genome came to the front he could "become" half-human.
Note that this would still require some human somewhere in his ancestry,
just not neccessarily his parents.  Also in this case, he could have
realized it when his memory came back, which is why he wasn't surprised
(at least, not any more surprised then he was about the rest of his
heritage) - he did take a while to assimilate the knowledge, but we did
notice because he was busy assimilating everything else at the same
time.
I still don't favour this theory, though, because it seems a bit forced,
and doesn't seem to quite fit the feel of the movie.  But I had
dismissed "he's half-human only in THIS regeneration" out of hand until
you pointed that out.

assistant: On (23 Sep 96) Joe Mason wrote to Maureen Goldman...
 He becomes another "alternative him".  That would make him the
 equivalent of his own full brother, if you leave out a
 continuing memory.
 If he is half human on his mother's side, then there would be
 no choice except for Mum being full human.  Or at least I can't
 think of any other way that it would work.  I suppose that she
 might also be a mixture and the human genes were all that he
 took from her side in this regeneration.  (I expect that this is
 bashing the heck out of the science of genetics.)
 Just a smidge ...
 My feeling is that he had always been half-human, but the
 explanation *does* work.  Kind of.
