Anonymous asked:
what is the tardis
Short answer: TARDIS stands for Time And Relative Dimensions In Space.
Long answer:
A TARDIS or TT Capsule was the main kind of space-time vehicle used by the Time Lords. A TARDIS was grown from coral, a process that could take many centuries.
TARDISes are equipped with a chameleon circuit, a device which when fully functional allows the Time Lord piloting it to disguise it as anything he or she wishes.
Other than the space-time travel and the chameleon circuit the most notable feature of the TARDIS is that it is dimensionally transcendental. In other words it is bigger in the inside than it is on the outside. The estimated size of the interior of the Doctor’s TARDIS is about the size of a small town. It’s also been described at being at least twice the size of San Francisco’s Chinatown at the beginning of the 21st century.
The one in use by the Doctor is an old type 40. The Doctor stole his TARDIS from a repair yard during his first incarnation. Due to being taken while under repair some of the systems on the Doctor’s TARDIS are not fully functional, such as the chameleon circuit which is stuck in the form of a 1950’s British police call box.

Understanding items from Doctor Who: CHAMELEON ARCH
The Chameleon Arch is a device that rewrites every cell of an individual to a specific species. The conversion, which causes extreme pain, also provides a set of false memories to match the new persona. The Tenth Doctor uses it in “Human Nature”, enabling him to hide from the Family of Blood in 1913 as the school teacher, John Smith. He retains a small amount of “residual awareness”, resulting in dreams about his life before the change. The Chameleon Arch stores the Doctor’s Time Lord identity in a fob watch that slots into the device as it is operated. In “Utopia”, Martha discovers that The Master used the same process, generating “Professor Yana” as his persona.

It’s almost time. New monsters are becoming real, old friends are returning to Cardiff and somewhere in Wales, a tweed jacket is being taken from its hanger and lovingly dusted off. It can only mean one thing… Filming on the new series of Doctor Who begins on 20 February, 2012!
The first director to shout ‘action’ will be the award-winning Saul Metzstein whose previous credits include Micro Men (starring Alexander Armstrong and Martin Freeman), the critically acclaimed Late Night Shopping and BBC Wales’ Upstairs Downstairs. For the very first time, Doctor Who will be produced at the new BBC Roath Lock Studios in Cardiff, which officially open in March. The production team includes Steven Moffat (Executive Producer and lead writer), Caroline Skinner (Executive Producer) and Marcus Wilson (Producer).
The new series will see Matt Smith return as the Doctor in what Steven Moffat has described as ‘the biggest, the best and the most ambitious season we’ve ever made’. Karen Gillan (Amy) and Arthur Darvill (Rory) are both back, for what will be their final voyage with the Doctor - a thrilling rollercoaster ride which will culminate in a heart-breaking farewell to the Ponds. But there will be more shocks, surprises and adventures to come when the Doctor meets a new friend, in the last very place he could ever have expected…
And yes! We’ve been promised the return of some old monsters, but some new and terrifying ones lie in wait for the Doctor…
We’ll be bringing you all the news about the incredible new series as it emerges, so stay tuned for some big surprises!

According to Rona Munro, the writer of Survival, there was to be a lesbian subtext to the relationship between Ace and Karra. This would makes Ace the first LGBT companion on screen and she is listed as such by many fans.
Based on this I would say yes.

I mean even he had problems with rivers timeline
The timelords tell their time based on Gallifrey. The planet was set so when you wen’t back you could only go back after your last visit but before your next one, preventing any time jumping about. So Timelords would keep a clock, set to Gallifreyan time to keep track of their years and dates and such. Or if they didn’t have that, they would just go to Gallifrey and see what year is was there and determine from that how old they are. They don’t age differently, a year is still a year. When he is the Tenth Doctor his is 905-906, 11th Doctor goes from 907-1108 or something like that after his 200 years or so by himself that we don’t see between God Complex and Closing Time, where he makes a lot of stops to visit old friends and save a few people on his own.
