Also if the Christmas special is the beginning of Ten acknowledging his utterly failed/fucked interpersonal relationships, doesn't that _have_ to lead him back to Gallifrey? He had a life there once too.
Wherein is the Doctor backstory lurking, because I'm sort of getting a bunny (not even a bunny so much as -- "hey, this sounds like a job for my mournful tone.")
Oh God. Hang on. It's all over the place in bits and jots. We find out about the brother, I think from Ten (speaking to Martha). One (William Hartnell shows up with Susan, his granddaughter, so...)
Actually, I know. Watch this: the Doctor's entire backstory in one easy vid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zc4HSf6NKiQ World, family, schooling, the Master. etc.
Ignore the half human thing, it's ridiculous, and was in the terrible tv movie (Eight), and everyone does.
But if you take Gallifrey as sort of Ten's photobox i.e. "The Life Before", which means Gallifrey is sort of in Jack's as well. Especially since Jack thought Time Lords were some kind of myth, didn't he? All the stories that make up the past and their artifacts. CRAZY.
He says it in "Parting of the Ways" I think. The Doctor says something about the Time War, and Jack says, "I thought that was just a fairy tale" or something to that effect.
