OF GODS AND GALLIFREY

The Doctor:
"Old High Gallifreyan! The lost language of the Time Lords.
There were days—there were many days—these words could burn stars,
and raise up empires, and topple gods."

Amy:
"What does this say?"

The Doctor:
"…'Hello, Sweetie.'"
'DOCTOR WHO' - "TIME OF THE ANGELS"


From this exchange, might we consider the pozz'bility that the Doctor might have used his people's language to bring about an end to the reign that the demi-gods held over the humans of Earth? If so, we can make the case for theoretical connections to 'Hercules: The Legendary Journeys', 'Cupid', 'Venus, Inc.', and 'The Aphrodite Inheritance'. It could tie into any show that featured the mythologies of the Greeks, the Norse, the Egyptians, the Sumerians, and the Amerind peoples. (I'm thinking of 'Star Trek' with its appearance by Apollo.) Even the musical "Olympus 7-000" with Donald O'Connor as Hermes would come into play!

If some fanficcer wants to run with that, be my guest......

BCnU!
