twincityhacker10 Fannnon Pieces About the Whoverse:
1. The Face of Boe and Captain Jack Harkness are regualrly confused with each other across space-time, with an exception of a small town on the Boeshane Pennisnula, even though one is a humanoid and the other is a head in a jar.
1a. They find this hilarious.
2. The television series is those events that have been verified that happened - books and audios are ones that have not, hence the reason why everything contradicts each other.
2a. The massive differences in tone between the two series have to do mostly between who put together the information. Classic Series was put together by historians, with heavy use of Matrix data - New Series is mostly put together by Jack Harkness, hence the flair for the dramatic.
2b. Galfrian lore - the myths about the lost planet and it's people - usually ends in a reminder that "you are not alone." To the point that it's usually incorporated or graffited onto any monuments of the war.
3. Clyde, Maria, and Luke eventually go into "freelancing" along with their day-jobs. Clyde and Luke work together, while Maria takes on her own apprentice.
4. The reason why Time Lords use LOOMS to reproduce is not because the Pythian Curse, which was propaganda pushed by the Triumvirate, but because "loom" is a more tasteful way to say "grows children in a vat."
5. Regeneration is not a biological instinct, but something that you have to learn, like language.
6. The Doctor and the Master tried to reform their society as they feared that their civilization would collapse, and failed. Their group grew increasingly dissatisfied until one of their gatherings broke out into a riot lasting several days. The entire group were proclaimed renegades, and stripped of their names. Those who did not renounce were regenerated, and were forced to regenerate until they did capitulate or they died. The Doctor's first wife - Susan's grandmother - was on her last regeneration, and were one of those killed. The Doctor's family arranged for him and Susan to be released, in exchange for his renouncing his activities, he did so to buy himself and Susan time and they fled into exile before the President changed his mind about the deal.
6a. The Master is still bitter about the Doctor's "desertion" of the cause, and came to believe that only he could save his people. Though, in the end, he too went into exile, which he used to bring his own, new ideas of saving people from destruction - him ruling over them as an absolute dictator - to the rest of the universe.
7. Wales was the first area of Earth to ratify the Shadow Proclamation.
7a. Wales, mostly Cardiff and the Brecon Beacons, has also one of the highest interplanetary immigration rates on the planet.
7b. Also high is New York City, Hong Kong, and Trinidad.
8. The "Lost Lands" is a redundant time line.
9. UNIT now has the Doctor's number. Literally. Sadly, they are Too Responsible to ring him up asking him to come back and clean up his damm lab.
9a. Luckily, Torchwood is there to the rescue and calls the Doctor to clean up that mess that may or may not exist at the facilitty that they of course don't know about.
10. Toshiko Sato was originally trained in repairing the human body with cybertechnolgy. She continued doing work in this vein for Torchwood One. After the Downing Street Incident she was busted down to Cardiff for failing to apprehend or at least notify the Head Office that she found The Doctor. After the Battle of Canary Wharf, and it's aftermath, she swore off that area of research and just deals with technology.
Bonus:
11. "Doctor How" has a spin-offs called "Excalibur" and "Crack Investigator: Pamela Roberts."
11a. A long time in his future, Jack takes small parts in dancehalls, vaudville, and theatre for over two centuries in New York City. No one thinks this is strange. Even when John Barrowman meets him.
13. Jack and Estelle were married - they lost touch when Jack went back to Torchwood after the war, as Jack wanted to spare her from that reality.
13a. When he finally could leave, Estelle had already remarried. She dumped the bastard several years later.
13b. She only put back up the pictures of Jack's "father" when the two of them got back in touch, as it was less awkward to have modern pictures of him up than the pictures of her MIA solider-husband.

Date: 2007-10-30 02:57 am (UTC)Six is because the image of the Doctor failing as a social revolutionary while he's One appared. Plus, he had to do something pretty serious to be exiled, as that seems to be one of the worst punishments that Gailrey can think of.
