Time Lord/Film: Difference between revisions

== [[Adventures in Babysitting]] ==

=== Chris Parker is a Time Lady who fled Gallifrey ===

Chris does not have a fob watch (it is uncertain what her memories are sealed in), but has the (inactive) Sonic Lipstick for one logical reason — if Brenda had the Lipstick, she could be captured by knowledgeable individuals wanting to steal Chris' TARDIS.

 

 

== Marvel/Stan Lee ==

=== Stan Lee is a Time Lord ===

* [[Completely Missing the Point|Nonsense, he just likes cameos.]]

 

=== The repairman is a Time Lord ===

This one actually makes sense. The repairman issues all kinds of cryptic, ominous-sounding warnings that turn out to be complete BS. In reality, he's just pissed at that guys for hijacking his TARDIS.

 

=== Mr. Kite is a Time Lord ===

The tent is his TARDIS, the Blue People and the Hendersons are aliens, and Prudence would have been his companion if her friends hadn't chanced upon the circus.

== [[Mary Poppins/WMG|Mary Poppins]] ==

=== Mary Poppins is a Time Lady ===

* Her bag, people! Her bag! It's '''bigger on the inside!''' And we know that the Doctor's TARDIS is only stuck as a police box because it has a broken chameleon circuit; why couldn't a TARDIS with a working circuit look like an ordinary bag?

** [[Fan Art]] has [http://megaloo.deviantart.com/art/Magical-Nannies-Are-Cool-215802867 addressed this].

* She is "practically perfect in every way." Doesn't that have the ring of Time Lord arrogance?

** Unless he's another Time Lord who just kicks around on earth all the time. Mary and Bert for the Doctor's parents?

** [http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Raxacoricofallapatorius Alien planet.]

** Her real name. Her grandfather thought it was too long so he called her Susan for short. Later on she changed it.

* In the books the children experience trips around the world with a magic compass, a Christmas shopping trip with a star named Maia from the Pleiades cluster of the Taurus constellation, a circus in the sky, befriend a statue that has come to life, a visit to cats on a different planet, and a Halloween dance party with their shadows as well as others.

** In the books she's also presented as existing outside of normal time and space.

 

=== Doc is, or is related to, a Time Lord. ===

Come on, it's a time travel trilogy, you thought this one WASN'T going to come up? Either Doc is a Time Lord who lost his TARDIS long ago and built the DeLorean to make up for it, or Doc has Time Lord blood in him which helps inspire his time-continuum-manipulating ways. Your local drive-by here believes he's the secret lovechild of the Doctor. That first incarnation does look rather similar to Doc. . . .

** [http://sale.images.woot.com/It_Came_Out_Of_NowhereegkDetail.png How Doc got that bump.]

 

Don't believe me? Just watch the ending. {{spoiler|He almost died, and then he freakin' regenerated, for crying out loud!}} If that doesn't prove he's a Time Lord, I don't know what does.

 

== [[Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure/WMG|Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure]] ==

The very ''first'' Time Lords. Gallifrey was brought about through [[The Power of Rock]] - note that their phone booth is capable of travelling through time ''and'' space. Sure, Rufus states that he lives in San Dimas, California in the future, but it's entirely possible that it's just named after the Earth locale. Eventually, the Time Lords became less and less like Bill and Ted and devoted themselves to learning rather than rock, but an element lives on - think of the Master, "playing track three".

* The webcomic ''Get Medieval'' features two knights named Sir William le Pret and Sir Theodore de Loguer who say "dude" and "excellent" a lot. Sure, it could be a homage... or it could be Bill and Ted themselves, a decade or so older and time-traveling to the fourteenth century.

=== Wonka is a Time Lord. ===

This would explain a lot, not least of which ''why'' Wonka has two forms.

* In the sequel, "Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator", they actually go into outer space in the elevator and fight aliens. So that just reinforces your argument.

 

** Alternatively, its TARDIS is actually Manhattan Island. As humans built over it, the poor thing can't find the door.

=== The monster is a Battle TARDIS gone berserk. ===

 

This is, quite possibly, the only explanation of the film's events that actually makes sense.

 

=== Destro is a Time Lord ===

** Nah, it's during the Time War. The Time Lords, in a desperate attempt (after all, they brought back both the Master and Rassilon), force the Doctor to use Earth as a testing ground for new weapons. After all, metal eating nanoids vs Daleks? They also took away his TARDIS, so he could leave, and, at the end of the film, when they have the final product, they free him. Or maybe UNIT helps him out, but he has ALOT to pay for...

* You misspelled "Duh."

 

== ''[[Gone in Sixty Seconds]]'' ==

Little do people know, this movie is about Memphis going forward in time, stealing the 9th Doctors clothing, and the 9th Doctor trying to get them back. This was done in the dark part of the Doctors life directly after the Time War.

 

=== Godzilla is a Time Lord. ===

This explains how he can be "killed" and come back repeatedly. His previous regeneration was [[Cloverfield]], then Godzilla for the next several regenerations. After that the process went a bit wonky and he became the Roland Emerich Godzilla. After that he was the Spinosaur in ''[[Jurassic Park]] 3'', looped back and became the Tyrannosaurus Rex in the first [[Jurassic Park]]. He liked being a dinosaur so much that he came back for one more go, as the velociraptor that had Muldoon spooked because she took over a pack of raptors and had them testing the fence for weak spots. After that he got in touch with his more fantastic roots as Mushu the dragon in ''[[Mulan]]'', and is currently happily retired as the Geico gecko.

 

=== Fly is a Time Lord ===

And his hat is his TARDIS. Ever wonder why he almost never takes it off, even when he's a ''fish''? No, seriously, anyone who watches the movie will wonder how he pulled off that stunt near the end. My answer? He's a Time Lord.

 

=== Indiana Jones is a Time Lord. ===

The fridge is his TARDIS.

* Nah, it's got to be the hat. Seriously, he never leaves it behind!

 

=== Donny Donowitz is a Time Lord. ===

And what makes him a [[Magnificent Bastard|Magnificent Basterd]]? ''He succeeds.''

=== Both Donny ''and'' Landa are rival Time Lords. ===

** Wait, I'm missing something here, are you suggesting the Master's Omar?

 

* Blofeld is also a time lord (plastic surgery? Regeneration, more likely). Perhaps even the Master, or, barring that, the War Chief, if those two are different persons...

* It's not unknown for Time Lords to suffer amnesia after regenerating. This explains why Craig's Bond is at the beginning of his career, not realizing he's already been a 00. Given his new, more unpredictable personality, M isn't keen on letting him know.

** {{spoiler|Not just any Time Lord either. He was Rassilon, THE Time Lord, pratically everything on Gallifrey was named after that guy}}

** {{spoiler|Okay, here's my theory. Rassilon was NOT sealed inside a tomb for his crimes. The stone casket we see in "The Five Doctors" does NOT contain Rassilon's body, and the holographic image of him that appears is only a projection based on data from the Matrix. Rassilon was in fact exiled to Earth in the early 21st Century with his memory wiped, and given the identity of a British secret agent named James Bond. He may have even been turned into a human using a Chameleon Arc (though if this is the case, his ability to regenerate must have something to do with Rassilon's incredible power still lingering even in human form). At the time, he looked like Daniel Craig, which explains why the events of ''Casino Royale'' could be considered his first assignment. A few trace elements of his ruthlessness still remained, which explains his brutality in this incarnation. After an indeterminate amount of time and number of regenerations, the Time Lords decided to send him back in time to the 1960s to stop Blofeld (who, as we already know, is also a Time Lord). The rest of his timeline can be explained by the notion that the Time Lords sent him ahead and/or behind a couple of years depending on the urgency of a particular assignment. This explains why he appeared to revert to his previous appearance between ''On Her Majesty's Secret Service'' and ''Diamonds Are Forever'' - ''Diamonds are Forever'' actually takes place BEFORE OHMSS in Rassilon's subjective timeline, since the Time Lords were keen to stop Blofeld/War Chief from prematurely advancing Earth's technology to orbital weaponry. He just can't remember being yanked out of time to do it. Similarly, the Brosnan films take place immediately after the Moore films from his perspective - the Time Lords urgently needed him to stop, erm...the Korean guy from ''Die Another Day'', or something. Then, he is sent back to the 80s, where he regenerates into his darkest incarnation - the Dalton version of Bond/Rassilon. The violence of ''License to Kill'' stems directly from Rassilon beginning to remember his past self owing to the psychic shockwave created by the Time War. Finally, in their desperation, the Time Lords extract Rassilon from Earth, restore his memory, and declare him Lord President of Gallifrey.}}

** Clearly the Ninth Doctor and the Craig Bond/Rassilon have had [http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FgUb4nZHMR8/SwZ5_L4rh7I/AAAAAAAABPM/jRt0N3w0UW8/s1600/our_friends_in_the_north.jpg dealings] [http://img164.imageshack.us/img164/2315/cap034.png in the past]...

 

=== That crazy kid is a Time Lord ===

Think about it. Time Lords regenerate when they process huge amounts of energy. Kid gets WHALLOPED with enough energy to take down a T-Rex and shakes it off. Sure, he looks the same after, but that's entirely possible in Who-canon.

** It doesn't work that way. Time Lords always look human- or rather, humans look like Time Lords. They made it so that sapient life will evolve to look similar to themselves when at all possible.

 

=== Lola is a Time Lord ===

No explanation? ''Really''? Fine. Lola is not only a time lord, but one trapped in the Toymaster's games, more specifically a roulette scenario. She also has a sonic screwdriver, but instead of a screwdriver, it's a small device embedded in her throat, just above or replacing her vocal cords. In the first scenario, she uses the first of her regeneration energy to heal the gunshot wound, and the rest to activate a safeguard she set up previously, that transports her, her TARDIS, and her current companion (Manni) to the a set time (in this case, the start of the Toymaster's challenge). In the second round, when Manni gets hit by the ambulance, she activates the safeguard again, this time healing Manni (the residual time lord energy allows him to remember her yelling at him when he hadn't heard it yet in the third round). The third round is when she realizes that as long as she plays by the implied rules, she's never going to make it. She runs into the roulette parlor, and then wins (with the help of a sonic voice technobabble thingy in the third round). The toymaster, her "fathers" in the scenario, "dies" at the end, and the scene actually fades around Manni and Lola in the final shot.

** Nah, if Yuri's a Time Lord, he's not the Doctor, he's the Master. Always has a nefarious plot, doesn't care how many people he kills, even when you (in this instance, for "you" read "Interpol") think he's beaten he just comes right back. Yep, he's the Master.

 

* His TARDIS changed periodically. And when "died" in Revolutions, he didn't PERMANENTLY die. He regenerates as...the player character you create in The Matrix Online

** Or, as has been actually hinted in the game itself, Sarah Edmontons.

 

== [[Monsters vs. Aliens/WMG|Monsters vs. Aliens]] ==

It's how he's maintaining his appearance at 90 years of age. Not only does he have extraordinary longevity, he's managed to control the regeneration process so that he just keeps regenerating into the same body.

* Why the HELL does the Time Lord Debate get brought up in every WMG page? Did I miss a [[Memetic Mutation]] or something?

== [[Newsies/WMG|Newsies]] ==

=== Jack is a Time Lord. ===

* He's also [[Batman]]. Parenthetically, has Christian Bale done so many different accents that he's forgotten what his real one is? He was all over the place in that rant.

 

=== Jack Sparrow, Barbossa and Davy Jones are Time Lords and Calypso is a Time Lady. ===

=== The dog is a Time Lord. ===

 

=== Charles Darwin is a Time Lord. ===

That's how the movie manages to be an [[Anachronism Stew]] and still make sense. Plus, he's voiced by [[David Tennant]]. You know in your heart that this makes it true.

 

And Samuel L. Jackson's character is a Time Lord.

* Samuel L. Jackson as a Time Lord? COOLEST THING EVER. "Who put these motherfuckin' snakes on my motherfuckin' TARDIS?"

** GALLIFREYAN, MOTHERFUCKER! ''DO YOU SPEAK IT?''

** "And you will know I am a ''Time Lord''...WHEN I LAY MY VENGEANCE UPON THEE."

=== Doctor Frank N. Furter is a Time Lord and his castle is his TARDIS. ===

He is a scientist working with ideas and equipment far beyond those of Earth Science. He seems to have acquired a large number of human companions whom he likes to show off for. And his most notable piece of technology is sonic - i.e. The Sonic Transducer - "an audio-vibratory physio-molecular transport device" capable of "traveling through space, and who knows... PERHAPS EVEN TIME ITSELF!"

** LET'S DO THE TIME WAR(P) AGAIIIIN!!

 

=== Sherlock Holmes is a Time Lord. ===

 

== Star Trek 2009 ==

And has been for all these years...

 

=== Benjamin Barker is a Time Lord. ===

The man spent fifteen years in an Australian prison; at any point he could have been shivved, hung, poisoned; any of a hundred deadly fates await the unwitting prisoner. He regenerates (hence the change of name) and the new model is left focusing on what scraps of sentiment and memory his former incarnation could cling to. The years, no doubt, have been less than kind indeed.

*** And also why no one seems to recognize him when he returns to London.

 

=== Yoda is a Time Lord ===

We all know that when Time Lords get really old, they get really small. His house on Dagobah is his Tardis.

=== Grand Moff Tarkin is a Time Lord. ===

[http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Peter_Cushing In his younger days] he actually helped fight off a Dalek invasion of Earth. This was prior the his [[Face Heel Turn]] of course...

 

== [[Terminator]] ==

=== John Connor is a Time Lord ===

* 1st: The Edward Furlong John Connor. Part-human, on his mother's side (Kyle Reese is also a Time Lord). Juvenile delinquent, he stole the TARDIS his future self would later use to send back Arnie and save his life.

* 2nd: The Thomas Dekker John Connor. Calmer, cooler, but still growing and maturing. However, future Companion Cameron (who already knows much about his future, "Spoilers.") shows up and whisks him and his mother ahead forward over their own timeline and into another, which causes a Meta-Crisis and the creation of ''another'' John Connor, who regenerates into...

* 4th: The [[Christian Bale]] John Connor. Born in war, the most capable and battle-hardened of them all. Meets an early regeneration of his father, the [[Anton Yelchin]] Kyle Reese, whom during the war regenerates into the Michael Biehn Kyle Reese, and is later sent back by John to save his mother and ensure the first John Connor is born.

 

=== WALL-E is a cybernetic time lord ===

Meh, it had to be said. His regenerations are as follows;

* R.O.B. from Brawl

* WALL-E

** Well, Wall-E is voiced by the same guy who did R2-D2's beeps and whistles.

*** A precursor to WALL-E could be Twitch from [[Robo Rally]]. If that's so, M-O could be squash bot and Twonky, given its incredible intelligence and depression, could be EVE. Since Hulk X90 is programmed to be delusional, he could be the precursor to AUTO.

* GLaDOS

* AUTO

*** What about SHODAN?

***** And on that note, [[Halo|343 Guilty Spark]]

=== The cockroach is a coprophagic Time Lord ===

Think about it: several times it seems like it's dead, but it isn't. Obviously, it keeps regenerating.

Okay, here me out. [[What Could Have Been]], if the BBC hadn't pulled the plug, is that eventually the Seventh Doctor and Ace would have gone to Gallifrey, and Ace would have entered the Academy to become a Time Lord. Something similar happened to Withnail. He met the Eighth Doctor (after confusing him with 'I'), and decided to travel with him. After finding he is much happier away from Earth than he was on it, he decides to enter the Academy and become a Time Lord. Then the Great Time War happened. Time Lord-iness hasn't taken away Withnail's cowardice, so he steals a TARDIS and gets away from Gallifrey right before it is destroyed. Now, one of two things could have happened:

* A) Thinking the Doctor is dead, he assumes his identity as a homage to the man, changes the TARDIS to a police box, and resumes adventuring ''as'' the Doctor.

 

Either way, he's out there, who we call [[The Nth Doctor]], traveling in the Doctor's name, either in his memory or as a mistaken memory.

 

=== Dorothy is a Time Lord ===

* Her house is her TARDIS.

* I would need to re-watch some of their movies to figure out the details, but... just off the top of my head: Their highly varied, yet at the same related eccentric mannerisms and their collective habit of seemingly stumbling through the plot only to invariably bring it together in the end point to one conclusion: Somewhere down the line, at least three, and possibly all four of them "died" and regenerated in a series of tragicomic mishaps. These four incarnations we know and love were drawn together, possibly unaware of their destinies and the nature of their "brothers". All four of them are incarnations of a single Time Lord.

 

=== Jareth is a Time Lord. ===

His Time control abilities come from his time lord heritage while the smoke and mirror magic comes from his other parent. the labyrinth may or may not be a TARDIS under this theory.

And his tower is his TARDIS.

 

=== Mr. Potato Head is a Time Lord. ===

 

== [[Yellow Submarine]] ==
