[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] Susan had left the series before "regeneration", "Gallifrey" and "Time Lord" were even thought up, much less mentioned. So whether she is actually his physical "he must have children because they've had a kid themselves" grandfather, or it's a nickname for a different sort of relationship is a bit up in the air. I believe the novels go with the later idea (certainly he didn't seem to mind leaving her behind to get married on 21st century Earth, even though she would have lived several hundred years longer than her husband. Even during one regeneration Time Lords seem to have life spans of a few decades). I remember when Davison's version met her during the 5 Doctors. First Doctor: "And this is my granddaughter, Susan." Fifth Doctor: "Yes, I know" (ENIGMATIC SMILE!) The way the first Doctor said "this is MY granddaughter" always implied to me that it wasn't a family thing, but something else. On the other hand, Davison's ENIGMATIC SMILE says the reverse. So you can take it how you want, I guess. And "Timelord" is often treated as being the name of the species in the series rather than the more logical (but more boring) "Gallifreyan". I think the Time Lords called the Doctor everything from "rogue" to "renegade" to "maniac". "Rogue" was definitely the most common term though, with "renegade" usually being reserved for the Master and the Rani. And Davis is a good enough fighter that he'l incorporte past canon (both real and some fan stuff) without it being fan wank "let's do this because the fans will think it's cool". [/QB][/QUOTE]
