The First Goodbye

The First Doctor says goodbye to his first companion, Susan. I'm not sure how she's supposed to be his grandchild but there you have it.

At 5:15 one of the greatest speeches in all television was spoken

And people say classic Doctor Who wasn't ever about the companions...

@DoomNote12 Just remember, The Doctor thinks that Jenny (The Doctor's Daughter) is dead, too. And he thought he was the last of the Time Lords even before The Master hoolaboo. He's known to be wrong in this sort of thing, and I'm hoping he is, too. I'd love to have Susan (probably regenerated, by now) walk up to Matt Smith's Doctor and address him as "Grandfather" ... ha.

[DoomNote12]

That's so sad!!! He promised he would come back and as we know, he never did! And now, as the new series hints, she has somehow died, and the doctor will never have a chance to see her again. His last remaining relative... So very, very, sad.

Love that dirty and tired as they are their hair is still perfectly in place. =)

@doctorwho3600 Who's arguing? Certainly not me. I've got bigger fish to fry. Whatever. Peace

[doctorwho3600]

@doctorwho3600 plus there is the fact that she knew time lord history inside out in the five doctors...

@pufferfishish my name is ronnie and i dont thrive on the last word because with the last word you never find out whether or not you won the argument, and agreed susans biology is SOMEWHAT open to interpretation but i would still like to point out that this argument started over whether or not susan could ever return to doctor who, and through any given interpretation the answer is still no due to given evidence

[pufferfishish]

@doctorwho3600 I think what you actually thrive on is getting the last word, mate. I think what we have here with regards to Susan's biology is basically open to interpretation- much like the rest of Dr Who- a recurring line in the series was 'I'll explain later' or 'I'll explain one day', and yes, a fair chunk of the characters' backstories were made up as it went along. Your opinion is only that, Adric... sorry, whatever your name is :P

@pufferfishish my apologies, i was going to reply properly but i wasnt paying much attention to where i clicked, the punctuation and spelling is because i am still learning to type, and i thrive on challenges

[pufferfishish]

@doctorwho3600 Hey! Perhaps you should have replied to me directly if this was intended to be a response to what I said- or maybe you were afraid I'd challenge you again :) Some big words there, sonny. Master the art of basic punctuation and spelling and they'd seem a whole lot more impressive, I guarantee it...

1)The regeneration idea was thought of at the end of pertwees reighn, untill then we were just told that he had a new face.

2) due to canonical trees, for herto ever make a return,(as you may recall that was the purpose of this argument) she would be classified as a timelord, and therefore the void is neutralised

3) You shall age and you shall die, i shall keep regenerating, he was referring to skipping death, not to anti-aging

4)tens speach-exo-philisophical banter, in short dont overthink it.
