Carpenter Who

[coffeestudies]

is it explained anywhere how the whoverse's names work?

i mean, do they get to pick their own names at some point, or are they slapped onto them according to preferences and personality?

“I’m The Carpenter, I’m a Time Lord, I’m from the planet Gallifrey, I’m 900 years old, I’m the man that’s going to save your tables and all 6 billion chairs on the planet below, do you have a problem with that?”
quote slightly altered from "Voyage of the Damned".



eta: nevermind question#2. just rewatched The Phone Sex Scene from TSOD.

doctor: I’m here.
master: Doctor.
doctor: Master.
master: I like it when you use my name.
doctor: You chose it. Psychiatrist’s field day.
master: As you chose yours. The man who makes people better. How sanctimonious is that?

also, this is where fangirls (and -boys?) explain in fine words why, when it comes to death by sexy, they happily go on suicide missions by watching doctor who (here: the sound of drums). seriously, the whole thing is quotable, which is why i'm not quoting anything ;)

The Astral Plane
The Doctor wanted the Master to stay on all cost, it seemed like he didn't even think about the consequences. And the Master would have to be chained to something the whole time, lol.
... both?

Yeah, he seemed really different. Desperation maybe? Would be interesting to know if he'd do the same for his new team, at another Torchwood Institute or UNIT.
Wikipedia says that we only have one information about Torchwood 2: All that is known about the Glasgow division of the Torchwood Institute is that what is described as a "very strange man" works there and that it is presumably active ... ok, two things :P

true. and the key words being 'not even thinking about the consequences'. when i say it's prolly better that he didn't regenerate i'm talking from an outsider's pov. but i'm fairly sure the doctor would argue with me here. aww, tru wuv foreva!

if you ask me, all that rtd really wants to see is john barrowman in pain, emotionally or physically; but preferably both at the same time.

i'd say he got pretty attached to torchwood three, seeing how he cried like a baby in exit wounds. but still, the circumstances with lisa, after torchwood one burnt to ashes, were different. saving her became his sole purpose in life. i think he gained something since he started at torchwood three, so i think he would still go a long way to save anyone of them, but maybe not out of desperation (unless They took it all away from him and he would have to get them back singlehandedly). sorry, i'm drunkandtired, i'm afraid i'm not making much sense... :/

ok, two things :P
good counting there. ;)
