: I think that the "who" relates to who he is - why he is special, what he is really running from (Just the memory of the vortex? Even though he saw it as a child and then stayed in the academy for hundreds of years?), why he of all Time Lords won the Time War by killing everyone, etc. They always hint that there's a side of him that nobody knows - so that side would be the answer.

::The question is very clearly literally "What is the Doctor's name?" The idea that the Doctor's name is something that could never be revealed is obvious, as suggested by the Tenth Doctor's reaction to learning that River knew his name. The lines of it being "the first question" and being "hidden in plain sight" are both fourth all jokes. "The First Question" suggesting that it was the first question asked in ''[[An Unearthly Child]]'' (not true, but whatever) and the later thing meaning that it's the title of the show, literally "hidden in plain sight." The question is definitively "Doctor Who?" [[User:OttselSpy25|OS25]] ([[User Talk:OttselSpy25|talk to me, baby.]]) 07:37, February 24, 2013 (UTC) | |||
