Talk:The Other

Biology

I remember reading sources that said that the Other had only one heart and could not regenerate - however one may have been inferred from the other.

Can anyone find a citation for this? The reason it interests me is the Meta-Crisis Doctor has one heart, can't regerenate, etc.--TheOmnius 18:13, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

In The Man in the Velvet Mask it's stated that a Time Lord in their first regeneration only has one heart and they gain their second after their first regeneration. But I don't think there's any reference to The Other in that novel. --Tangerineduel 13:12, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

In Lungbarrow, the Other indicates that neither he nor Rassilon had the ability to regenerate. I don't know how many hearts they had.--The Traveller 14:52, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Image

Is it safe to assume that the third (from the left) figure in this image is the Other? If it is, then we could have an image on this article.--The Traveller 14:54, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

If you can confirm it's The Other (I can't remember if there's a description of The Other in Lungbarrow, either the original novel or the eBook, I've only read the printed novel version). I've read through sections of the author notes (more of a skim than a read) and could he be Susan's grandfather, rather than The Other? The cover is suggestive that he's related to the Doctor (but as I said I can't remember if there's a description of him). --Tangerineduel 15:31, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
