People remember that The Doctor's Wife established that Time Lords can change genders when regenerating, right? (When the Doctor talked about the Corsair.)
'Sleeper'
Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Yes, though that was told and not shown, so I suppose naysayers could've argued it still wasn't canonical. (At this point I'd mention River Song's admonishment that The Doctor Lies, but for the most part that was told and not shown too.)
Didn't the Doctor feeling his hair and shouting "I'm a girl!" immediately after his regeneration in "The End of Time" pretty strongly imply that it was possible, as well?

That probably depends on one's opinion of how astonished Matt Smith seemed at the prospect. (I personally read his reaction as indicating that it's a rare but entirely plausible outcome. Oh, and that Eleven was actually Calvin. "I'm a girl" indeed.)
I'm still loving K9 the cat. "Hey, you! Yes, the one with the scarf. Have we met before? Ok, never mind about that. I'm bored. Go fetch that robot parrot thing I killed once. I want to bat it around some more. No, the parrot thing. Belonged to Captain Shouty. Pushed you off a cliff. God, that was funny. ...Well I don't see why you're complaining. You pushed Romana off a cliff next adventure, you don't really have much high ground there. Probably fall off it if you did. There's an epitaph for you. Name: Doctor Scarf. Nemesis: heights. None of which is fetching my dead parrot."
When reading this I heard it entirely in Benedict Cumberbacth's Sherlock Holmes voice. I'm not exactly sure why but maybe the bored thing and fetch me the parrot.
Helen Mirren would be amazing as the Doctor but another dream actress for the role - Gina Torres. Sure she's not British (or Scottish) but she can do action, she can do humor and she can do voice of steel scary thing. Just imagine this
The Doctor: But you're not the first lot to have come here. Oh, there have been so many. And what you've got to ask is... what happened to them?
The Doctor: Hello. I'm the Doctor. Basically...run.
Gina Torres
As long as she can do an English (or Scottish, or Welsh or Irish) accent. not with a Dick Van Dyke cockney either. (Though I'd would very much enjoy a comic episode where some evil alien changes the Doctor's accent to Dick Van Dyke cockney for one episode.)
OK, does Abby not know CPR?
And when did Ichabod learn it, because he didn't know what to do when Abbie almost drowned a few episodes back.
Maybe he Internetted.
Andi and I both assumed that Mistress meant she was Romana, whom K-9 called "mistress."
huh.
