Doctor Moon: Difference between revisions

The '''Doctor Moon''', who, in his human avatar, was often known as simply '''Doctor Moon''', was an artificially-intelligent [[moon]] that maintained the computer systems on the planet it orbited through wireless connection. Though he real form was a man-made satellite, he could exhibit ge own unique personality and identity in the virtual world.

At the time of production, Moffat privately intended Doctor Moon to be a future Doctor. In a 2008 email to Russell T Davies, Moffat explained that River Song was in fact the Doctor's widow, and had witnessed the death of the [[45th Doctor]] on a battlefield, before she began having adventures with his younger selves. Although Moffat considered it unlikely that this would ever be confirmed in a story, he thought River would ultimately learn that her dying husband had uploaded his consciousness to the library planet's moon so that he could be reunited with her. In 2020, Moffat said that he thought a version of this idea could still work, and Davies revealed that he had always thought "it's him, it's the Doctor, and no one knows!" when watching the episodes. ([[REF]]: ''[[Showrunner Showdown]]'') However, for all that it was endorsed by the two major creative forces behind Doctor Moon's creation, this information is not considered independently [[Tardis:Valid sources|valid]] by this Wiki, due to having only been related in a real-world-focused piece rather than any narrative (or indeed in-universe) material.
