Doctor Marries Doctor's Daughter, TARDIS Explodes
techmuse writes "In a veritable Who's Who of Doctor Who, 10th Doctor David Tennant is marrying Georgia Moffett, the daughter of 5th Doctor Peter Davison, who played the Doctor's daughter in an episode of Doctor Who. Except that the Doctor's daughter was a clone of the Doctor, which meant that she really was Who. So a newer Doctor is marrying an older Doctor's daughter, who is a clone of the newer doctor, but only has half the DNA of the older Doctor."
Why isn't this in Idle?
Doctor, doctor, give me the news. I got a bad case of lovin'... who?

He got engaged to his co-star on Girl in a Fireplace, too. Come to think of it, another of his co-stars went off to make a TV mini-series about a BDSM call-girl. What the hell is he doing to these girls' minds?

This is why I am so against time travel.
The Doctor has tried marrying his companion before. I get the feeling that this can only end as well as the marriage between Tom Baker and Lalla Ward.
This particular story is almost as bad as that time when the Doctor and his granddaughter were clearly checking each other out (Peter Davison, Carole Ann Ford, "The Five Doctors").

Wake up. This is all a simulation. It has been the entire time. You're having a deep embedded, fully immersive hallucinatory cognitive dissociation brought on by a schizophrenic episode of your favorite TV show. When the Daleks show up they will appear to you as men in white coats; this is a representation of your subconcious desire to fuck your mother. Give in to it and enter the warm embrace of drug treatments they offer. This is a hallucination of your subconcious mind "Clearing" the conflicting data and getting back to reality -- it doesn't really mean you fucked your mother or still want to, but other people might. That's the tricky part, now you get your discharge and you have to pretend you're normal, but whatever you do do not assume the Doctor Who role and attempt to recreate the process described in TFA. It will result in a disruption of the enclosing universal wormhole as described in the new item title. Just go about your business like nothing happened and keep eating the pills. Accept your hairless monkey role in life and die like a pac man caught by a hungry ghost. Do not attempt to drain your pool.

Dear god, someone please think of the 12 toed children! Actually, we've already seen the doctor's granddaughter, Susan. They forgot to mention the plot point about the Doctor being her father and her grandfather ;-) OMG Susan has 12 toes!

Don't they mean the same DNA, but a duplicate X chromosome?

It isn't incest of the relation is a fictional one between your characters.
I learned that in middle school, 9 years ago. (the students playing a father/daughter pair in that year's school play were kissing; that was their response to my needling)
I'm not a Doctor Who fan, so I can't squeeze in (or recognize) your references. :)

actually..
that actor who played the previous doctor, is marrying his onscreen daughter, who is a clone of the doctor, IRL she is also the daughter of an actor who played a previous, previous doctor.
so the doctor, married his daughter, also the doctor, and she's the daughter of another doctor, and the doctor's daughter, THIRD BASE!
in many species the female is heterozygous for the sex chromosome not the male- the ZW system in some insects is a prominent example Time Lords may be one of these species so that a clone of a male could be female

Maybe it's time the Dr Who script writers borrowed RAH's "All you Zombies" novella, and adapted it for the screen :) I'd love to see that!

Shift happens. Fire it up.
And as a clone, the female would have two copies of the original X chromosome (making XX), i.e. half of the original DNA (XY).
No, that's just wrong.
A clone of male that was engineered to replace the Y sex chromosome with an duplicate of the X would have much more than half the DNA of the original male. The sex chromosome pair is one of 23 chromosome pairs, and the Y chromosome itself has less DNA than the X chromosome. So, the XY -> XX switch would preserve more than half of the DNA of the sex chromosome pair, which is itself only a small fraction of the DNA of the entire set of chromosomes.
Obviously you would swap the lines, and probably rework "empty beer cans and all".
But it's a fucking copy-pasta troll - I'm not going to do their homework for them.
I can just imagine the Tennants and Davidson/Moffetts getting together for Christmas lunch. Swapping stories about the good old days, complaining about these new Doctors who couldn't tell an Abzorbaloff from a Toclafane, even with dampeners on their sonic screwdrivers.
And then they tune in to watch the new Christmas special. Ah, good times...

Wow. Marrying your own clone. That puts Narcissism on a WHOLE new level...

Homo Habilis just discovering he has opposable thumbs says, "What?" by mcneely.douchebag.mike (927221) on Wednesday January 05, @07:15PM (#34771802)
So THAT's what a douchebag says, ok! Lmao...
I just started watching Doctor Who when Christopher Eccleston (9th doctor) was the doctor. With David Tennant, I was leery at first, and you could say I just didn't like. But after 2 episodes, he "fit" the part. I'm not quite sure how you refer to that sort of expected change.
With Matt Smith, it just seems... wrong. I'm too lazy to search out some doctor who form to watch some flame wars. But has this sort of "change" not sat right with the public before? If so, do some of you hard core fans already know that Smith isn't going to be around much longer?
Should I wait for the book.

Watch out. If Horton hears a Who,
I could see the Doctor marrying his clone/daughter, they go on their honeymoon and the night of their first copulation dozens of future Timelords (their offspring) show up to witness the event.
Modding _and_ posting? A miracle!
Atcually, that's something socially awkward nerds sometimes mistake for humor. Really, it's not.
Humor is subjective, so positing what purports on its face to be a factual, objective statement that someone else is wrong about what is and is not humorous is kind of pointless.
On Vulcan, humor is largely considered irrelevant to our intellectual pursuits. However, there are segments of our population which do enjoy Vulcan humor, and as such there are a certain number of comedy clubs to be found. One of the more popular forms of Vulcan comedy is to posit an elaborate hypothesis containing a small logical flaw; but to proceed ahead with the hypothesis while attempting to provide arguments and calculations supporting the hypothesis which, to a careless mind, would appear sound. The hypothesis is then carried forward to its naturally absurd conclusions. I once attended such a performance: I found it rather whimsical.
Bow-ties are cool.
They explained it with the usual burst of technoblather from Tennant, an exasperated noise, and some waving of hands with "You wouldn't understand." :)
"I'll explain later!"
Bow-ties are cool.
With Matt Smith, it just seems... wrong.
I'd like to refer you to my sig line. Those words of wisdom contain an important, life-changing message for all fans of Doctor Who.
As for Tennant - I didn't like him at first, either. I didn't watch any of the 2005 series until around 2009, I think. In the end I think Tennant was great but I do wish Eccleston had done at least one more season.
Personally I think regeneration is always hard for the audience. In some cases more than others: like Tom Baker, who was the Doctor for about seven years and probably the most popular of all the original seven Doctors - Who fans are used to the idea of regeneration but it's still hard, when you've mostly watched one particular doctor, to move on from that and embrace a new actor in the role.
Tennant is, at least, the most popular Doctor since Tom Baker. He may have even surpassed him in the minds of present-day fans, I don't know.
But I would say that's the best analogy: both Matt Smith and Peter Davison followed very popular Doctors. In the case of Tom Baker - I don't think the show ever entirely recovered after he left. He was popular enough, and his run was long enough, that it must have been very hard to try and move forward from that point. Even though Tennant's run wasn't as long, he still accounts for four of the six years of the new series at this point. It seems to me that there is some danger that his run will have the same impact.
Bow-ties are cool.

Thanks for the reply!
/. and don't really pay attention to the bells and whistles. :shrug:
I'm going to have to go back and watch the early seasons - they sound good. I guess its probably because I sort of look like Eccleston and can relate to him more, or perhaps he's *my* first doctor, which accounts for him being my favorite, even though Tennant was a great doctor. I'm almost done with season 5, and while Smith does a decent job, he seems... Young? Something like that...
