The events of "The Unicorn and the Wasp" not only inspired her later works (The Body in the Library, The Secret Adversary, Nemesis, Death Comes as the End,The Murder at the Vicarage), but The Doctor is also the literary basis of "The Mysterious Mr. Quin." Let's look at the evidence: Dark? Check. Enigmatic? Check. Slim? Check. Comes and goes when he pleases? Check. Disappears regularly? Check. Clownish? Check. "Death is his only companion"? CHECK.
* First appeared in print two years before "The Unicorn and the Wasp" is set? ...um. Well, what the heck -- if he's a Time Lord, that's a minor detail, right?

That's one way of showing up with ridiculously perfect plastic surgery, and when he has a near-death experience, he sometimes has a really drastic change in what he looks like, more than you would expect from mere physical or mental trauma. And really, when [[spoiler: his Yana/Saxon persona got shocked after regaining his memories... I know it was all time-streamy, but]] that's tasking LightningCanDoAnything just a bit too far. He also spends a lot of his television appearances on Doctor Who, and even visits Gallifrey sometimes; some [[ExpandedUniverse EU]] novels go so far as to state it outright! I don't know about the "floating cloud of blood" thing, though, no explanation for that. He probably [[FanWank ran out of regenerations]] or something, and his [[HeroicWillpower Villainous Willpower]] kept him alive, assuming that entire sequence [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs wasn't made on mind-altering substances]].

!!Donna Noble was a John Smith'ed Smith-ed Time Lord.



She could absorb the Time Vortex, unmake an army of Daleks, and negate death with nothing more than some psychological stress. the Doctor!Donna got ''at most'' a single Time Lord's power, if not less, and would have been completely destroyed if she hadn't been John Smithed. Rose's dad was saved from dying when he should have (possibly living out his 12th regeneration as a human...) and instead of being sucked out of continuity (or, in the final televised version, eaten by ClockRoaches), he was given the opportunity to die as he was supposed to. Though this did change later continuity a bit, what with him having "just stepped out in front of that car," as Rose's altered flashback of Jackie Tyler's recountance shows.

Think about it. Not only does it explain all those times he 'died' then came back, but it's also the [=REAL=] reason River is [[spoiler:half Time Lord]]. He's definitely cool enough, too. What happened to his [=TARDIS=] is a mystery yet to be resolved. The reason he doesn't regenerate into new forms is for the same reason Ten didn't in Journey's End- [[spoiler:he has a chopped-off body part from just after hishe can transfer regenerations to]].

!!Quico is a Time Lord.
The "square ball" he keeps looking for is his TARDIS. That's right. He lost his TARDIS, and he's trying to find it.

!!La Chilindrina is a Time Lady
She removed herself from the equation (as [[Film/{{Tron}} Kevin Flynn]] [[Film/TronLegacy would have put it.]]), hence why she doesn't appear in the animated series. As for her TARDIS, that's for her to know, and us "brutos" not to find out...

!!Alternately, Doña Nieves[[note]]Who's also played by Maria Antonieta de las Nieves.[[/note]] is a Time Lady, and her cane is her TARDIS.

!!Either [[SpellMyNameWithAnS "Patty/Pati/Paty"]] or her Aunt Gloria is a Time Lady.
Anytime they show up in the "Neighborhood", Patty/Pati/Paty is always a new girl who just arrived there. Something bad (whatever it is) keeps happening to them, and they keep changing history so that at least, Patty is only known at school[[note]]She may have been living somewhere else during those times for all we know.[[/note]], and thus they keep trying at different times to live at the Neighborhood without any problems. As for their TARDIS, it's hard to say. It could very well be the car they drive in as far as we know...

!!Jaimito the Mailman is a Time Lord, and his bicycle is his TARDIS.
That's why he doesn't use it when he delivers mail[[note]]That, and he's also BrilliantButLazy.[[/note]] For this reason:

!!The "Tangamandapio" that he refers to is actually Planet Gallifrey.
On the other hand, he did live in the actual Tangamandapio on Earth[[note]]There actually is a real Tangamandapio in Mexico.[[/note]] for a time, partially to avoid suspicion.



El Chapulín Colorado is a Time Lord (after all, he can appears anywhere, even at Venus). Maybe the Squeaky Mallet is his TARDIS.

One that can induce regeneration (or one that isn't averse to walking under pianos). Possibly uses her apartment as her TARDIS. The haircuts signify different regenerations (she'll be on to her eleventh later this year). She disappears in the middle of investigations and her absence has no impact on the case. She never uses her powers to help the victims despite her empathy because she's a fatalist (believes that she may not have a "choice" because of her genetic material). This being the reason that no one gets ever seems to get a "happy ending" or even a resolution. She trusted Alex enough to take her on a trip with her and her "death" is part of a {{Retcon}} gone wrong like ''Film/BackToTheFutureII''. The look on her face in the squadroom seems to say that she knew it was coming and that she can't understand why it still hurts her. On the trip Alex stayed dead, but in reality she breaks the rules Olivia set her while they were travelling and either deliberately takes the bullet in the shoulder so she can live and prevent Olivia from suffering or lives by accident and has the Marshals take her to Olivia and Elliot.

How many times has he come back from the dead now? And the boys' surplus of clothes when they have only one duffel bag has led more than a few fans to believe that the [[CoolCar Impala's]] trunk is [[Series/DoctorWho Bigger on the Inside.]] Maybe her Chameleon Circuitry System is broken, too, but she's stuck as a rare muscle car instead of an anachronistic phone booth. Dean is waiting to regenerate, but he's able to keep the same body because he has to keep looking like JensenAckles. He was brought to Earth as a small child, much like Susan Foreman in "The Unearthly Child" (the pilot episode of Series/DoctorWho), turned into a human with something like the Chameleon Arc and given to the Winchester family, so he has no idea about his heritage. At the end of Season 3, we think we see "Hell," but we're really seeing into his mind and his emotional state: perhaps his body is recognizing that it's not actually human, and he's terrified. And one day, he shall meet the Doctor in an epic {{Crossover}} and discover his true birthright.
