:Okay, so how do we explain the Eye in the TARDIS only opening in response to a human retina? I think there's a line in the TV Movie about the Eye not having been opened in hundreds of years, so that would possibly indicate that it had been sealed since the Doctor "borrowed" it from Gallifrey, so the human retina scan would have been in place then, right?

::If you go with him actually being half-human, as in the EDA novels, either he or the TARDIS reconfigured the lock on the Eye to protect it from other Time Lords, since there are presumably very few other half-human Time Lords around. He'd had the TARDIS for at least 500 years (even going by truncated new-series ages), so there was plenty of time to change it and then for it to go unopened for hundreds of years. (If you don't want to accept any media other than TV, then nothing has ever contradicted his half-human statement, so it's the same as this one.) --[[Special:Contributions/173.228.85.35|173.228.85.35]] 11:24, August 14, 2011 (UTC) | ::If you go with him actually being half-human, as in the EDA novels, either he or the TARDIS reconfigured the lock on the Eye to protect it from other Time Lords, since there are presumably very few other half-human Time Lords around.

:::I just remembered, the EDAs _do_ establish that what the Master fell into is the link to the Eye on Gallifrey. In ''The Gallifrey Chronicles'', the Master talks to the Doctor through the same link that's used to channel energy back to the Eye of Harmony at the center of the warped bubble of spacetime where Gallifrey used to be. (Of course the Master also had a new body in ''Henrietta Street'', and was embedded in the fabric of the TARDIS in ''Sometime Never…", but leave it to him to find three different ways of surviving permadeath…) --[[Special:Contributions/173.228.85.35|173.228.85.35]] 17:56, August 14, 2011 (UTC) | |||
