Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

Honestly though? I think that it might be a good idea/interesting to have the next regeneration encounter a "snag" where it allows the story, the viewer and the writers to explore the 1st Doctor's youth, schooling, adolescence, up to the point where he arrives at Totter's Lane.

It would/could be good for at least a couple of seasons, allow us to also see how (as young Time Lords) the Doctor, Master, Rani etc. got their titles and were friends, and give us an insight into Gallifreyan society and life prior to the Doctor's and TARDIS' mutual theft of each other.

Please, no prequels. That rarely works out well.

I don't know, there's a lot of potential story prior to the 1st incarnation becoming an old man, stealing a Type 40 and running away.

It could all be linked to The Question, how he ran from the Untempered Schism, and... well, there is a lot of fertile ground for storytelling prior to his and Susan's (like the fact that within his first incarnation, he clearly had children and grandchildren) arrival at the scrapyard.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

I agree, but then I did write a fan fic about it over 2 years ago. :P

The Doc's background was explored in Lungbarrow, I believe. It's heavily hinted that he's The Other, one of the 3 founding Time Lords who fled into the Looms and was eventually 're-loomed' as the Doctor.

I like The Question being a mystery, though. I don't want to see it answered any time soon.
