The First Question is Doctor Who? What Do You Think The Answer Might Be?

As Doctor Who fans wait for the return of Doctor Who, perhaps now is a good time to revisit the ending of the finale from last season.

They kept us wondering what the “first question” might be for long enough. Now that we know that the question is “Doctor Who?” what do you think the answer might be? Why has the Doctor been running from it? Why would a religious order be devoted to that question and to preventing it from being asked and answered?

    I suppose the obvious answer to the great question is “forty-two”.

    God.
    It’s blasphemy, but with the religious order and countless times of him being adressed as a god-like creature, would not be a long shot.

    I think the question is Doctor Who, and the answer is ”My name is devil”because he is Lord of time, fought in war time, and killed the other lords of the time, their plan of conquest,

    The answer is: CHUCK NORRIS.

    Theta sigma was the doctor’s name when he went to school on gallifrey, it’s not correct though. I am an American. Also, what’s the Master’s name?

    I dont think we’ll ever know. The series is called ‘Doctor Who’ so I guess if we found out it would kind of ruin the series. Maybe we’ll only ever find out when the series comes to an end. (which will be a very sad day in history, ‘no new Doctor Who episodes!?! BLASPHEMY!’ Nooooooooo!)
    So really, if you think about it, that question should never be answered because really, really think about it. Is knowing The Doctors name really worth the giving up the continued existence of the series?
    No I think not.
    …
    Though if you looked at it from another perspective maybe the question isnt about his name. Maybe its about who he was before the series happened. Who was he on Gallifrey?
    We know next to nothing about his past if you really think about it.
    It would also be nice to know a little more about The Masters past too, and the apparent friendship he shared with The Doctor.
    What happened on Gallifrey?
    Maybe thats a safer question than asking for his name dont you think?
