The titles themselves interest me particular in terms of which ones sound right. As I've thought about it, the titles that sound right are the ones that you would either be able to use instead of a name or are a title that would be spoken. It's infrequent (although not unheard of) for a role to be a simple occupation - ie. there is no Soldier, Stationer, Engineer or Potter because you wouldn't refer to someone as 'Soldier', 'Stationer', 'Engineer' or 'Potter'- but you can imagine The Judge, The Magistrate, The Detective, The Heirophant, The Castellain, The Chancellor, The Minister, The Bishop.
I know nothing about Gallifreyan society so I just looked it up quickly and found that Time Lords within canon have included The Other, The Meddling Monk, The Inquisitor, The War Chief and The Valeyard (as well as others, who don't fit this formula at all ~ most obviously Romana). However, there would surely have to be a pretty small group of Time Lords to have only one who suited the title Doctor?
I also know nothing about the Time War. Has it been described in any detail within canon? The current and last Doctors talk about it a lot as the final (supposedly) conflict with the Daleks, but how does a Time War work? How do you fight a war in time? And why with Daleks, who don't, from what I've seen, seem especially to exhibit much facility with time or interest in manipulating it? |
