The Other is what other people refer to him as. The founders of Time Lord society were Rassilon, Omega and The Other. It's an even bigger mystery about who The Other is.
I thought John Simm was fine in the role and wouldn't object to him returning. Even the best actors can do bugger all with scripts of that quality.

Neat...any idea where I could find older series of doctor who? I only watched the newer ones (2005-today) but I would want to learn more about Doctor.

Yeah he basicly showed up did all the actual work for Ras' and Ome' then ras' got paranoid and tried to have him killed... would be very interesting to see the other played out

I understand Netflix in the US is well stocked. Not really sure about options in Europe though. The DVD's are widely available but mosty they show up on classic TV channels here like UK Gold.

Thats the problem, I cant acces Netflix, or at least couldnt when I tried and the TV here doesnt play Doctor Who...only one channel plays each week one episode of newer episodes of Doctor Who with horrible translation :(

Episodes exist on DVD but some stories you have to fall back on the usual sources and fan telescenes (the vid of many early eps don't exist but the audio does)
The CML is played out in the virgin new adventure books they are hard to find now unless you use those earlier mentioned sources

The only thing heavily implied about him has been his resistance to authority, which is probably why Rassilon wanted him out of the way. If you buy into the loom thing then The Doctor is The Other re-incarnated which explains his natural aversion to authority.

Okay I will try to find dvd somewhere :D

It would also explain his and rassilons mutual hate in the new years special that shouldn't be mentioned ever again
If you do fall back on other sources make sure to get the DVD version of "the invasion" one of the last 2nd doctor stories the animated replacement episodes are truely great

You would think that a nice touch by Rusty but I doubt it crossed his mind. Besides none of the five Doctors that encountered Rassilon in the five Doctors was angered by him. I suppose it could be argued he has started remembering things since his seventh incarnation but in truth the series has been through so many producers that applying the word canon to Doctor Who is completely futile.

I have to agree, Stephen Moffat is brilliant and has made the show great again. If RTD stayed on longer I would have just given up on the show entirely.

It's a pity either he didn't leave earlier or David Tennant stayed on longer, I would have loved to see the combination of him and Moffat for a whole season. Instead we had his amazing acting talent wasted on rage-inducing episodes.

There is no Canon only producers ;) For example the first doctor only had 1 heart, second said the tardis caused regeneration (infact it's heavily implied to be artificial until the 5th-6th) and that he'd done it hundreds of times before...

Moffat however is a BAFB his love of DW brought him into tv and writing I think he'll bring back a number of the old plot points and fix the timeline

He's already thrown out the 13 regenerations rule which was just a throwaway line in the 80's to add some drama. I think Moffat's big chance for continuity reboot would be the 50th anniversary in 2013. The BBC teased a big animated 10 Doctors a few years ago and it's certainly possible to get the surviving cast back for VO duties. Eccelston might be the only hold out because of his no going back stance. Tom Baker seems to have reconciled things a little doing the Big Finish audios but even if he can't be tempted back there is always John Culshaw to do an impression. Sean Pertwee could always pull duties for his father, they just need VO's for Hartnel and Troughton.

Yeah I honestly wouldn't be suprised if he does a special on the 50th bday where he recreates the unearthly child and kicks a new season in with a true reboot

Going back to it and crossing time streams is possible, it's been done before many times. They could have 11 going back to watch the events of Unearthly Child recreating the set and getting new actors to play First and Susan but then have events play out differently so something is mucking around with his personal history. It would be a great way of introducing new fans to the older Doctors while at the same time retconing events into a new more stable timeline.
