Still nesting or something. Have added links to my Old Who List so I can find related posts back, since one of my points to watching this stuff was for the 50,000 years of backstory reference. And a quick link to the Package of Rassilon. ;)



Forgot to mention "Theta Sigma" was brought up in The Armageddon Factor. Or "theet" as that guy said. Heh heh. The Doctor's nickname from his college days - class of '92. XA5,292⁸⁴, most likely. ;) Looked it up on wiki and I guess the only other time this is mentioned is in "The Happiness Patrol" where the Doctor states that it was a *nickname.* It's not his *name.* *wags finger at fic writers* I'm kinda curious how he got that nickname - it's pretty much gibberish.

But when the Doctor emphasized that he got his doctorate to his old school chum, it made me think that *that's* where he picked up "the Doctor." Hey, I didn't know - for all I knew "the Doctor" could have been a term thrown on him by other Time Lords when he developed this annoying habit for wanting to fix things in the universe. I'd still be interested to know *why* he ditched his name, beyond the we-must-make-him-a-mystery-dude by the writers.

And one more small thing for the Destiny of the Daleks - you can hear the wheels squeaking when the Daleks roll... OMG*SNUGGLES*!! Bless their low-budget hearts!

As you know, I just watched the "Ark in Space." He made some comment in reply to a question as to whether he and Harry were medtechs. Something like his was an honorary doctorate? *sigh* Already put it back in its little Netflix envelope, so I can't check it to be sure. I thought it was interesting, though, that he was definitely distinguishing himself from a medical doctor. At least in that episode. :-)

Hmm. That sounds familiar. I don't remember what the exact words were either, except, as you said, he was differentiating between him and a medical doctor.

In The Armageddon Factor I think was mentioned what his specialty at school was, but I've forgotten. The guy he ran into's forte was mechanics/robotics, but the Doctor's...mathematics or something? Yeah, that one's back on its way to Netflix as well. Dang.

Awwww, they squeaked? That sounds adorable. I think I'd like a pet Dalek. It could wash my dishes, do my laundry...exterminate a species I don't like...y'know everyday stuff.

Well, I don't think they were meant to squeak. But the mic picked it up. *pats them*

And yes! Everyone needs an in-home Dalek! Sure they're slightly psychotic, but if they do the dishes, they can stay.

Early on in the novel The Infinity Doctors, some standard-issue Stuffy Old Time Lord snarks about how he doesn't understand why anyone even listens to this guy who not only never bothered to do any post-doctoral work, but has the gall to adopt the puny little doctorate he barely passed as his name. Cracked me up.

BWAH!!! That's great! :D
