Hello.
     I have a few questions about NA continuity and some of the current BBC 
books.  Has anyone out there read enough to help out an intermittant reader?
     It would be really appreciated.
     Thanks,
     Brent Kincade

Okay, bear with the newbie.
I'm not necessarily new at Doctor Who, but in good old Springfield, 
Missouri, we don't always get all of the merchandise.  About half, usually.
I've been mulling over Lungbarrow, which I read like, a year ago.
My memories are pretty hazy, and since it was a borrowed copy, I can't go 
back and refresh my memories.
If I remember correctly, Leela was pregnant during the book, living on 
Gallifrey with her Time Lord husband.  Towards the end of the book, when the 
Seventh Doctor finds out about her being 'with child', he makes some sort of 
comment about how they should 'name the child after him' or something to 
that affect.  Anyone have the book for a direct quote?  Now this might have 
already been discussed here years ago, but knowing how manipulative the 
seventh Doctor was, and knowing that Leela was from a tribe that was made up 
of Earth decendants, would there be any chance that Leela could in fact be 
the Doctor's mother?
You know...a time lord of mixed parentage?  Human mother, Time Lord father?
Also, could anyone explain to me the whole Rassilon/Omega/The Other 
plotline?  IS the Doctor the Other?  How exactly would that have worked?  I 
know the Time Lords were put under a curse that left them barren, therefore 
forcing them to come up with the Looms.  That's about all I know.  Simple 
answers, anyone?
My other question pertains to the BBC books including Interferance I and II 
and beyond....(keep in mind that I'm on three Doctor Who mailing lists, and 
that I can't always keep straight what I read where).
I know that in an upcoming (for me...we still haven't gotten Interfer. I OR 
II) book, Fitz gets...cloned or "remembered along generational lines" or 
something.  Someone on one of these lists mentioned that the last appearance 
of the "real" Fitz would have been in "Dead Romance", which I know is by 
Lawrence Miles.  Has anyone read this?  WAS Fitz in that Benny book?  Is it 
worth special ordering?
I hope someone out there knows these answers...
Thanks a lot,
Brent.

 answers, anyone?
The Other existed at the dawn of the Timelords, and, IIRC, at the time
of the
Pythia's curse.  The Other ended his life by throwing himself into one
of the
Looms. Ages later, the Doctor was woven from a Loom, complete with a
belly button,
and was apparently based on the genetic code/biodate/somesuch of the Other.
Shortly before leaving Gallifrey, the first Doctor starts getting
followed by
the Hand of Omega which recognizes him as the Other (I forget the
details of
how the Doctor found the Hand).  He then goes on a trip in a TARDIS and 
is able to go back to the time of the Other with help from the Hand.  He then
runs into Susan, the Other's granddaughter, who thinks he is the Other, and
they leave Gallifrey together.  This is all from my memory of having read
Lungbarrow over a year ago, but I think the basic facts are correct.
Hope that helps.
