- ninju 2mo agoFor those who need more context of who the Time Lords are The Time Lords are a fictional ancient race of extraterrestrial people in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. In-universe, they hail from the planet Gallifrey and are stated to have invented time travel technology. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Lord https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Lord

- tialaramex 2mo agoI think if we're being pedantic, the character's name is "The Doctor". The TV show is named "Doctor Who" but the character doesn't call themself that and a name is what something is called. [Edited to avoid assigning a gender to a character who has had different genders]
- latexr 2mo agoI wasn’t being pedantic, I was (as per my words), providing further context. Anyone who has watched the show knows these things, they are basic information from it. My post and the one I replied to are (obviously) for people who know close to nothing about it, and those people won’t know who “The Doctor” is, the point was to make it clear it’s the main character. Also, not only is “The Doctor” not the character’s real name, they have been called “Doctor Who” multiple times, including in credits, so you pedantry isn’t even right. https://screenrant.com/doctor-who-name-debate-settle-explainer/ https://screenrant.com/doctor-who-name-debate-settle-explain...
