* Liv double checks the Doctor's identity due to "that business with [[the Nine]]" | * Liv double checks the Doctor's identity due to "that business with [[the Nine]]", who posed as him in [[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Crucible of Souls (audio story)|The Crucible of Souls]].'' | ||
* It is roughly one year since Liv and [[Tania Bell|Tania]] saw the Doctor. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Best Year Ever (audio story)|Best Year Ever]]'') | |||
* Unbeknownst to Liv, Tania is actually investigating [[Flatpack]]. She has been sent here by her "[[Torchwood Institute|contacts]]". During the Doctor's period of being stranded on [[Baker Street]], Tania's "contacts", which included regular visits from [[Andy Davidson]], would give her the task of keeping an eye on the [[Eighth Doctor]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Must-See TV (audio story)|Must-See TV]]'') | |||
* The Doctor states that the enemy can't be a [[Time Lord]]. From the Doctor's perspective, [[Gallifrey]] and the Time Lords were destroyed during the [[Last Great Time War|Time War]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') | |||
** The Doctor would later find himself mistaken. Not only did his rival Time Lord [[The Master]] survive, ([[TV]]: ''[[Utopia (TV story)|Utopia]]'') but [[the Monk]] also survived. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Wrong Woman (audio story)|The Wrong Woman]]'' et al) | |||
** Numerous incarnations of the Doctor would later save Gallifrey from the end of the Time War into [[Gallifrey Falls No More|a painting]]. However, the pulling of the War Doctor out of his time stream would cause him to forget the true outcome of the War, thus keeping the timeline intact. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') The [[Twelfth Doctor]] would later find Gallifrey and return it to the [[N-Space|universe]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Hell Bent (TV story)|Hell Bent]]'') | |||
* The Doctor realises that Flatpack, much like the TARDIS, is spatially [[Dimensional transcendentalism|dimensionally transcendental]]. Unlike the TARDIS, it was also temporally transcendental too, meaning that all of time was happening almost at once. ([[TV]]: ''[[An Unearthly Child (TV story)|An Unearthly Child]]'' et al) | |||
* Liv asks the Doctor to find a companion soon. After seeing who a misguided Doctor could turn into, she advises him to find a friend. The [[Ninth Doctor]] would one day find a [[companion]] called [[Rose Tyler]], who would "make [him] better". ([[TV]]: ''[[Rose Tyler|Rose]]'', ''[[Journey's End (TV story)|Journey's End]]'') However, once again companionless, the [[Tenth Doctor]] would refuse to allow the deaths of numerous people in a [[Fixed point in time|fixed point]] and would bestow himself the title of "[[Time Lord Victorious]]", beginning a dangerous journey causing him to travel back to the [[Dark Times]] and causing the [[genocide]] of the [[Kotturuh]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Waters of Mars (TV story)|The Waters of Mars]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[The Knight, The Fool and The Dead (novel)|The Knight, The Fool and The Dead]]'', ''[[All Flesh is Grass (novel)|All Flesh is Grass]]'' et al) | |||
** The Doctor himself had seen similar occasions where this alter-ego of his manifested or reared its head. During his [[Sixth Doctor|sixth incarnation]], the Doctor became aware of [[the Valeyard]], who [[the Master]] described as an amalgamation of the darker sides of the Doctor. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Ultimate Foe (TV story)|The Ultimate Foe]]'') The [[Seventh Doctor]] was infamous for manipulating those around him for what he deemed to be the greater good. It included manipulating his [[Ace|companions]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Ghost Light (TV story)|Ghost Light]]'' et al) as well as manipulating other "less important" people into giving their own lives. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Love and War (novel)|Love and War]]'') Even the Ninth Doctor temporarily caved in when faced with, what he assumed to be, the [[Metaltron|last Dalek]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Dalek (TV story)|Dalek]]'') | |||
** Perhaps the most famous pre-cursor to the Time Lord Victorious was the [[War Doctor]] himself. This incarnation gave up his title of "[[the Doctor]]" and his code of non-violence, and fought as a nameless warrior in the Time War. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Night of the Doctor (TV story)|The Night of the Doctor]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[Engines of War (novel)|Engines of War]]'' et al) | |||
** Before allowing Rose Tyler to travel aboard the TARDIS with him, the Doctor did trial a companion named [[Ali (The Beast of Babylon)|Ali]]. However, she was far too violent and rejected her proposal to join him. Before departing, Ali convinced the Doctor to go back for Rose Tyler. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Beast of Babylon (short story)|The Beast of Babylon]]'') | |||
