Surely somebody else has thought of this.

Surely I am not such a genius that I just solved the mystery of Susan for the whole internet.  I know somebody else has probably come up with this somewhere else.  But since I don't know who that somebody else is, I'm going to take credit for fixing Doctor Who. :D



Here it is.



Jenny.  She's Time Lord, basically.  She's off having adventures and being all cutesy with her pre-applied eyeliner.



Jack.  He's human, basically.  He's off moping or having Torchwood-like adventures with his World War II coat.



If ever they were to meet, it would be glorious.  Because Jack is a Doctor fanboy, so if he met a girl who was made of the Doctor and a machine (and was, let's face it, pretty hot) I'm guessing he would go for it.   And Jenny, she's kind of a flirt.



Jack + Jenny = SUSAN



The Doctor is a time traveller, in case you didn't know, and somewhere along the way for some reason that would make a really good fanfic, he picks her up as One and they travel together.  How much she tells him about her parents is up to her.  Maybe that's why Nine was so cranky towards Jack initially, or maybe that's why Ten kept running from Jack and trying to deny Jenny.  Because in his head, it wouldn't make sense for Susan to have been born after the Time War.  But that also means that Susan is only part Time Lord, so maybe she doesn't regenerate.  Maybe she becomes a rather classy-looking old woman in a white business suit, and maybe she objects to President Rassilon's plans and has to stand like the Weeping Angels of old, but maybe she also has a vortex manipulator like her dad or even om-com, and maybe she can use it to stalk down a sweet little old man named Wilf and try to save her grandfather's life by goading Wilf into giving him the gun.



Come on, you love it, you slags!

But isn't the Doctor a fixed point in time? So his incarnations work chronologically, even if nothing else does? So he couldn't have a granddaughter as One by a daughter he fathered(ish) as Ten. I think.

. . . time travel makes my head hurt.

I was going to say you have a good point, but then I started thinking about River Song, but then I remembered that River Song wasn't actually related to him (we hope...) and then I got all confused again. But... I don't remember that rule? They may have mentioned it in Old Who somewhere... I know I'm kinda slack on that aspect of the fandom...

I have already told you this verbally, but: GENIUS. Pure genius. :)
