- I was just reading the very interesting, if somewhat over sentimental,
- stories of David E. Woon about Nyssa being transformed into a Time Lord. We
- have seen women time lords before. My proposition is this: why could the
- Doctor not regenerate as a woman?
- Don't just reject this out of hand. Although the producers at BBC would
- never allow it, it is an interesting thought. Naturally, the personality would
- have to be unfeminine, so as to keep withing the bounds of the Doctor's boyish
- nature. But, with proper casting, and very careful development, why not? One
- of the great things about the Doctor is that he is compleletly sexless, and
- greedless, a paragon of ethics (although not virtue). If the correct spirit
- were maintained, I don't see why the Doctor could not regenerate, at least
- once, as a woman.
- (Just imagine the next reunion with the Brigadier!)
- Disscusion, fellow Whovians?
