:I've noticed this several times over the series, and I assumed that space ''and'' time work differently in the TARDIS. So it might take the Doctor a few minutes to take off, but from the outside (because time flows differently) it takes off immediately after the doors close. That's just a fan-theory, though. --[[User:Bold Clone|<span style="color:darkblue">'''Bold'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Bold Clone|<span style="color:gold">'''Clone'''</span>]] 17:01, January 4, 2016 (UTC) | :I've noticed this several times over the series, and I assumed that space ''and'' time work differently in the TARDIS.

It's traditional to consider the TARDIS as an object, but I think there's loads of evidence that it would be better treated as an individual. This is certainly the perspective that the modern TV show holds: in S7, there was an entire sub-arc around how the TARDIS disliked Clara, and ''The Doctor's Wife'' makes it extraordinarily clear that she is an individual and plays a conscious role in where the Doctor goes. This isn't even anything new: there's tons of precedent for this in the EDAs, where conscious humanoid TARDISes appear in ''Alien Bodies'', the Doctor's TARDIS talks to her "sister" in the later-published deleted scene ''Toy Story'', and Compassion's whole arc is about her becoming a TARDIS - not "gaining TARDIS powers", but '''becoming''' one, and keeping her individuality regardless. | |||
Especially considering that the "individual" infobox has all the "object" categories used by [[The Doctor's TARDIS]] except for "type" (which corresponds with "species" anyway), I'm going ahead and switching the template. Anyone who wants to argue can please reply. (I'm posting this explanation because it appears that Pluto2 went ahead and did this by himself, but another user quickly switched it back, so I thought I'd discuss.)
