The thing I keep banging on about is that he doesn’t know what age he is. He’s lying. How could he know, unless he’s marking it on a wall? He could be 8,000 years old, he could be a million. He has no clue. The calendar will give him no clues.
Steven Moffat. He’s since confirmed this again on his twitter stream. So if you’re like me (a huge canon nerd) and the whole age thing from The Impossible Astronaut irked you, view it this way: the 200 years thing is probably bang on. But the 900 reboot thing is just vanity/bad memory/an impressive number to hit mortals with. (via lessonsforchildren)
Yeah, but he’s a Time Lord, surely he can keep track of his own subjective timeline. I think he knows exactly how old he is, but he’s probably lying anyway, just for laughs.
(Yeah, I’m too lazy to post anything about living in China, but arguing about Doctor Who? I’m on it.)
