:
Rewatching bits of the episode, I love the lines: "He's not a warrior."
"Then why is he called 'The Doctor'?" They only make sense after you've seen River's speech at the end. |
Really? It made sense straight away to me, but I missed the part about the English word having the same origin.
Bit of a paradox there (or rather, stable loop), considering that the Tardis translated "Doctor" into the equivalent in all those other Earth languages and in doing so invented them in the first place. It seems therefore that the Doctor was actually named by the Tardis.
