an idle thought about last night's Doctor Who



If the question that is the crux of the matter is, in fact, Doctor who?, then surely River knows the answer?


Because he has told/will tell her his name. So she knows, no?

She might have learnt it when the question is asked, though. Along with everyone else.

The question is "Who are you?" which can also be "Who are you!". Of course when this is asked, Pete Townshend and Roger Daltry appear and the Universe ends in an apocalyptic rock-opera

What does your name have to do with who you are, really? Says one pseudonymous Internet entity to another...

But what is your *true* name. Name magic is somewhat common in most belief systems somewhere.

on the internets, I *am* dakegra.

If you google me, you get 'About 14,800 results'

which is slightly scary.

I'm inclined to agree with this line of reasoning and suspect that the question is less "what is your name?" and more "what is your nature?"
