No, Captain Jack is OMNI... not just Bi. There is a reason for the phrase "anything that moves..."HerbertTheHamster said:Oh yeah, shit. What the fuck am I talking about.interspark said:
Fairly certain the 11th is asexual, considering how weird his character is.
Jack was bi, btw
I know this wasn't the current Doctor (I think it was the 9th) but he was flirting with a tree. I really think that he could go for about anything but he's just too busy
Meh, the current Doctor is probably too "zany" to have any really defined sexuality. Please read this as "The 11th Doctor was written for 10 year olds with ADD who wouldn't recognize actual sexual tension if it was the only thing a show covered."

I can respect the guy's acting, but the shift in character is a bit too much for me to swallow, personally. Like I said, they really dumbed it down (it wasn't particularly subtle to begin with, but still, I'm pretty sure the audience has already grasped that time travel is possible, the Doctor is a millennium or so old with knowledge/experience to match, and can figure out through methods other than "IT'S ALMOST AS IF..." what capabilities other characters have.)
Yeah, Timelords are from Gallifrey. They look like humans, but are not. 2 hearts, regenerative capabilities, incredible longevity, etc.Mauso88 said:
Lets see, Rose Tyler, The very first Doctor has a Granddaughter who shares some of his DNA. TV movie Doctor had a romance with a woman. River song being pushed away by Doc 11 only means he is unsure of his relationship with her, specially since River is from the Doctor's Future.
When you've been alive for 900+ years, eventually you'll start to branch out with what you'll hit and how you'll hit it. The shows just don't focus on the times when he and his companions aren't plopped down just in time for some crisis involving aliens, robots, or some other disaster that threatens a planet.
Just how much time do they get between disasters? What do they do during that time, if they ever actually get any? These are things the audience never really gets to see because it's not as exciting, even if it may become relevant to the characters later on. It just isn't as interesting as, say, bluffing an entire space fleet made up of every one of the Doctor's foes with nothing but the sonic screwdriver.

He barely knew her and wasn't expecting that. How many times do people just walk up and kiss him?interspark said:
He ALSO frequently boasts of women who were attracted to him. And how would other men being gay for him indicate that he was gay?interspark said:
Potential problem: he dies before his next regeneration. And unless the creators are blatantly lying to us, that really was him dying - like dead and not coming back dying. In the Confidential after that episode he made this pretty clear. He was several centuries older, so there's still plenty of story left, but if he died looking as he does now, he isn't going to regenerate into another body.interspark said:
Haven't you ever heard of camp gay? It supposed to be funny since everything in the series indicates a big "no." Besides, he's not even human, he can do what he likes.
I heard through my Dr Who fanatic husband that BBC will be getting around that with a little bit o "Handwavium", claiming that the time lords limited themselves to 12 regenerations because they all draw from a collective pool of energy. With the Doctor being the last Timelord (supposedly, though there is his cloned daughter and possibly future birth daughter), that pool isn't being drained as quickly as when there were however many millions. This means he can effectively immortal until he decides he's done, assuming BBC does go with this idea and the Doctor decides to break a rule that only he is there to enforce.Jaime_Wolf said:
It is late and I get my rumors third hand at best, so don't count on it being accurate.
There have been a tremendous numbers of rumours about how they'd handwave that.Sarah Frazier said:
But they're all pointless now. We don't just know that he will die, we've seen his death. And it was in this body. And according to the producer, it really was him dying for good. The time-travely nature of the show (and the fact that the Doctor explicitly mentions being several centuries older when we see him just before his death) means there's still plenty for them to talk about, but when he died he had this body, which means he's not going to regenerate again.
