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)
- Well, if Susan's grandfather isn't the Doctor, then he's the Other (although he could be one of the Morbius Doctors). According to William B. Swift's website, "it is known that he was rather short, has thin legs, black hair, and often wears a black cloak with a hood". I don't know where this comes from, but to my knowledge the Other appeared in less than five works. At any rate, you can't really confirm or deny that the figure on the Lungbarrow ebook cover matches this description as both are rather vague.--The Traveller 18:28, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
- the cover could show the Other or it could just show the First Doctor. I think if you wanted to show the Other you would show one of the faces the Doctor flashbacked to in "The Brain of Morbius", according to the intention of Lance Parkin. he mentioned this in a post in rec.arts.drwho before Cold Fusion had actually come out. --Stardizzy2 22:39, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
doctor is the other?
i know this is a popular theory but jenny mentions that the doctor has other children couldnt this be a referance to him being the other?
Not a Cat Person
I know this is probably well out of canon, but I read on the "Rassilon, Omega and the Other Guy" site that in one of the maybe-canon works Rassilon has a CAT (Calculating Animal with a Tail) which may or may not have been The Other, as no-one knows if The Other was Gallifreyan, Time Lord or another species. If Rassilon's CAT was the Other, then it's sort of ironic that the Doctor occasionally describes himself as "not a cat person" because he actually was at one point.
Rassilon and Omega hatred twords The Other?
Dont you think Rassilon and Omega had some grudge twords the other?Mabe why he is a mystery because Rassilon and Omega had all his recorded histroy earased because he did somthing or thought of things that where kinda against Rassilon and Omega's phillosophies or since he married Omega's former bride it made a bit of tension twords Omega and Other?-207.241.247.1 14:57, March 2, 2010 (UTC)
